RICkENBACkER STOPS
OFF FOR BRIEF Time

Eddie Rickenbacker, famous Amer
lean Ace" stopped off in Richmond
for short time Tuesday, according
to Walter Davis, who was with. Rick
enbacker in service during the World
War, and bunked close, to him for
about eight months.
''He is very angry at his reported
marriage in Florida" said Mr.. Davis.
Eddie is determined to have the i'm
poster apprehended.'
Rickenbacker is somewhat non-com-
initial about his alleged marriage, &C
cording to Mr.. Davis, but he said
enough to indicate his feeling in re-
gard to the matter.
A man posing as Rickenbacker was
lavishly entertained in the best society
at Jacksonville, Fla, last week and
won bride. He deserted the girl in
Chicago after having been married
week. Warrants charging him with
embezZlement of several hundred dol
lars in connection with his adventure,
are in the hands of the police.
Eddie is the same old boy whom l
knew while serving in France. With
many fellows the honors received
would have gone to their heads, but
not so with him."

this to the allied powers he said the
action did not mean Fumes "renun-
citation" of Italy He also summoned
a constituent assembly to meet an or
der that precipitated the resignation
of the Fiume national council and left
D'Annunzio as chief OF state, foreign
minister and commander of the army.
Diplomatic Efforts On
Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts were
in progress between Italy and Jugo-
Slavia to compose their differences.
These led to the parley between dele
gates representing both nations at
Ra pallo early in November, 1920, and
a settlement OF the long vexing Adri-
attic question on the following basis:
1, The Istrian frontier to be controlled
by the Jugo-Slavs; 2, Fiume to be in
dependent, with territorial contiguity
to Italy; lara to be under Italian
suzerainty; 4, islands of Cherso, LUIS
sin and Unie to be granted to Italy.
The treaty was signed by the ENJOYS
of both nations on November 10. 1t
was later approved by the foreign re-
lations committee of the Italian cham

Large Crowds Welcome
Colby in M0ntepideo

MONTEvIDEO. Dec. 2S.-Great
throngs lined the streets Of this city
late yesterday afternoon to welcome
cambridge Colby. the American sec
rotary of state. American residents
of Montevideo declared it was the
most enthusiastic greeting they had
given any foreign visitor in many
years.
The battleship Florida, on which Mr..
Colby came to South America, was
met at sea by the cruiser Uruguay,
bearing the American minister and
representatives of the Uruguayan
army and navy. After salutes had
been exchanged, Mr.. Colby and his
party were transferred to the cruiser,
which brought them to this city.
The crack cavalry regiment of the
Uruguayan army was drawn up at the
pier, where Mr.. Colby was greeted by
Foreign Minister Buero. The drive to
the palace where the secretary was
received by President Brum was one
continuous ovation, there being an al
most uninterrupted rendition of the
"Star-Spangled Banner" which was
played by eight bands stationed at
various points. Each band took up
the American national hymn as the
party drove by.

D'ANNUNzI0
CONTINUED from Page One,

June 10. 1919, and 1t was succeeded by
the moderate Nitti cabinet, whose Sc
lection exasperated the Italian Nation
alists and was the forerunner of the
D'Annunzio coup d'etat the following
September.
Fiume, at the time of the entry of
the D'Annunzio forces, was under the
military control of General Pittaluga
of the Italian army. The general had
led a strong detachment to the out
skirts OF the city to intercept the in
vaders who had armored automobiles
and were armed with machine-guns.
D'Annunzio met him with the saiuta-
ton: Il understand you would fire
upon your brethren? Clearing his
breast.) Fire upon mel" At this, it
was reported, Pittaluga embraced
D'Annunzio and the soldiers on both
sides set up the cry: Viva Fiume!
Viva D'Annunzio!" The D'Annunzio
troops then entered the city.
The Is months that have elapsed
since the poet-warrior set himself up
as "a dictator" have been filled with
tragic as well as opera bouffe events.
Clashes between the Italians and Jugo-
Slavs were frequent. D'Annunzio pro.
claimed the annexation of Fiume to
Italy even while that country was ap-
pealing to the Allied powers to wrest

the city from him. Riots, strikes and
fires were numerous and the United
States cruisers Olympia and Pitts
burgh were sent to the Adriatic to pro-
tect American interests. The Jugo-
Slavs cut of D'Annunzios food supply
and Italian warships blockaded Fiume
from the sea.
City On Scant Rations.
D'Annunzio put the city on scant
rations and continued to issue defiant
manifestos and declare he would
never leave Fiume alive" Many Ital-
ian sailors and soldiers Joined his
forces until, at one time, he was re-
ported to have an army of more than
100000 men. He occupied several
other places in the disputed region, in
GLIDING Sussak, Risniak, Durazzo,
Trau, Castua and cara and patrolled
the Dalmatian coast with his war
ships.
On January 1, 1920, when the SUI.
preme allied council disbanded in
Paris the Adriatic question was still
unsettled. Last March Italy strength
ened the blockade, whereupon DAN.
nunzio proclaimed Fiume "a free and
