award" said the Presidents letter
II am moved not only by profound
gratitude for the recognition of my
earnest efforts in the cause of peace,
but also by very poignant humility
before the vastness of the work still
called for by this cause.
MAY l not take this occasion to ex-
press my respect for the farsighted
wisdom of the founder in arranging
for continuing system of awards!
If there were but one such prize or II
this were to be the last | could not
of course accept it. For mankind mas
not yet been rid of the unspeakable
horror of war / am convinced that
our generation hats. despite it's wounds
made notable progress. But 1t is the
better part of wisdom to consider our
work as only begun. 1t will be con-
tinuing labor. In the indefinite course
of years before us there Will be aoun-
dant opportunity for others to dlstln
guish themselves in the crusade
against hate and fear and war.
There Is, indeed, peculiar fitness
in the grouping of these Nobel
awards. The cause of peace and the
cause of truth are of one family. Even
as those who love science and devote
their lives to physics or chemistry
even as those who would create new
and higher ideals for mankind in lit
erature, even so with those who love
peace, there is no limit set. Whatever
has been accomplished in the past Is
petty compared to the glory and prom

I'VE did not mention or discuss any
possible plan of American action,
either as to the present league of ma

rangement of terms with the Rome
government were without foundation.
Says ships Are Held Out.
ROME. December s.-capture of
steamers like the Cogne has given
rise to hostile feeling toward Italy,
declared Premier Giolitti today to
deputies who have returned from
Fiume, according to the .Giornale
DItalia. In complaining Of ''outrages''
which have occurred at Fiume, the
premier asserted that they prevented
any country from sending ships to
Italian ports.
The action of crews of destroyers
in going over to the. d'Annunzian
forces was most severely criticised
by Signor Giolitti, who said he I'M
derstood the officers we're compelled
by crews to go to Fiume. The Of
ficers. however, should have resisted,
he said, making a principle of au-
thority and discipline.
The premier is quoted as saying
the government has no intention to
remove d'Annunzio from Finme, the
independence OF which has been guar
anteed by both Italy and Jugoslavia
and he is said to have observed
iokingly he believed d'Annunzio will
not find the position SO pleasant when
reduced to the status of mayor OF
Fiume."
SIMS Up Situation.
In concluding his talk with the
deputies the premier is declared to
have summed up the situation as fol.
lows: The Italian government can
not conduct negotiations with dan
nunzio before the ratification of the
treaty OF Rapailo. which as yet has
not been discussed and approved by
the senate; It is impossible to, &C.
knowledge the italian regency OF
Quarnero, such an act not being con.
templated by the treaty; even If II
was a legal possibility to initiate
negotiations With the state Of, Fiume
the Italian government would 6e,pre:
vented from doing SO by constant
acts Of hostility and lack of disci-
pline at Fiume. He closed by ex-
planning that Italy, as a. representa-
tive of the entente, must deliver the
islands of Arbe and Veglia to Jugo-
slavia.

TRIESTE, December 9.-Drastic ac-

authorities is expected as a result of the
desertion of the destroyer Espero, which
joined Capt. Gabrielle 'd'Annuhzio' s
forces in Fiume today. .. The incident
has created a deep impression in all
ranks Of the navy. 81
The Espero was ordered out this
morning for a; cruise on the northern
Aqr1atic. When the boat reached the
three mile limit the crew mutinied and
ordered the commander to steer for
Ffnme. The officers pleaded with the
men, but their words were futile. The
commander was locked in his cabin.
and his subordinates were compelled to
take the boat to .Fiume. NJ.
Papal Secretary Acts.
F1GME, December cardinal Cas-
parri, the pabal secretary of state. has
written letter to the mayor of Fiume
advising a settlement Of the contro-
versy between the forces of Gabrielle
d Annunnzio and the government with
out bloodshed.
Remembrance of your courteous
visits and of your letters, full of
reverence for the holy see, has per-
mitted me to take encouragement and
to send to you words of concord and
peace that come to me at this great
moment through which your state is
passing" says Cardinal Gasparri.
Public opinion is painfully alarmed
by the suggestion of resistance mani
tested at Fiume, which may lead to
new conflicts and new tears, which
always bring major sufferings to the
working population, and delay that
peace for which so many hearts have
yearned.
Mayor Makes Reply.
Particularly painful 1t would be
to see fraternal blood spilled without
result. Impelled by the qualities OF
sound sense and generosity. and of the
defense with which you have demon
strated yourself particularly endowed
1 dare beg you call the attention OF
your municipality and state to these
considerations. SO as to make them
favorable to superior reason, of peace
fraternity and well meant patriotism
so that new dreaded sufferings may
be spared. / pray God may accom-.
pany this step of mine with His
grace, SO as to inspire the council o.
moderation and peace
Rikardo Gigantic, the mayor, replied
to the cardinal, saying that the
Italian government had been mos
firm in settling the question withour

ways would bear fruit. He added thai
he would follow d'Anunnzio with al

Proposed merger of Washington's

one of the principal planks in a plat
form for public betterments in the
District which will receive the active
support Of the Chamber of Commerce
during the coming year.
The session dedicated to public
utilities which the chamber has ar
ranged for next Tuesday night at the
Willard Hotel promises to attract the
largest attendance of any meeting of
the year and to pave the way for a
revival Of the merger agitation.
While representatives of all public
utilities operating in the District will
address the meeting, interest is ex-
pected to center in the traction situa-
ton. That the chamber will reaffirm
its declaration favoring a merger is
considered certain. with the added
likelihood that steps will be taken
early in 1921 to focus the attention of
Congress, the companies and the pub
lie upon the desirability of CONSOLE
dalton of the traction lines, it was
stated today.

President Robert N. Harper believes
Tuesdays meeting of the cham Der

more to promote cooperation between

T. is the desire of the cha mber. he
said to render the services of clear
