Five D'Annunzians Killed.

Press In From Three Sides
on Thin Line of Defense
Legionaries Fall Back

May Be Captured To-day

TRIESTE, Dec. &c (By The Associ-
ated Press ).-The Italian regulars have
reached the factories on the edge of
Fiume and are closing in gradually on
the d'Annunzian stronghold. 1t is ex-
pected Fiume will be taken this evening
or tomorrow morning.
General Caviglia on Friday ordered
the occupation of advanced positions
around Fiume in consequence of recent
incidents and the threatening attitude
taken by d'Annunzio's legionaries.
In the operation the poets soldiers
opposed armed resistance to the ad-
vancing troops, who lost FIVE men killed
and thirty wounded.
UD1NE, Italy, Dec "a (By The Asso-
cieted Press) (Delayed) General Ca
viglia's regular Italian forces advanced
two kilometers this morning without
firing shot in a combined land anc
naval movement to close in on dan
nunzio, whose men retired. The Fiume
triangle now is cut off and the poets
aviation field at Grobnico has beer
captured.
The plan of General Caviglia is tc
gradually tighten his grip on Fiume
until d'Annunzio is reduced to helpless
ness. Caviglia's men advanced to-day
from the north, cutting off the top OF
the triangle of which Fiume is forme ed
and occupied Grobnico, Santa Croce and
San Malta. The d'Annunzio troops
evacuated these points without Offering
the slightest resistance.
At points from the shore northward
the d'Annunzio line gave way and the
regulars advanced half kilometer. 1t
was a Simultaneous movement from
three sides.
The movement from the direction of
Udne was effected by an. overwhelming
body of troops which advanced on the
thinly held line &C d'Annunzio's legion
aries. The advance was accomplished ID
principally by Alpini, who occupied the
high land covering the rugged territory
to the rear Of Fiume, including two
ranges of hills. Toward the sea the
regulars line is held by Royal Guards
and carabineers.
While the troops advanced on the
hlly ground overlooking the sea, the
Italian fleet kept silent guard in Fiume
Bay. The powerful squadron consists
of first line battleships and deatroyers
1t is reported that the orders to the
Italian regulars are not to fire unless
provoked. D'Annunzio's spokesmen say
he also has ordered his officers not tc
fire until he gives the word.
