UNDECIDED ON ANSWER
TO LEAGUE INVITATION
Acceptance Might Be Con-
strued as u. S. Approval.
Special Despatch to THE New York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C.. Dec. q


New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c.. Dec. 3.J
Careful consideration is being given
by the Department of State to the ques-
ton of American participation in the
conference proposed by the League of
Nations on the question of disarmament.
Following acceptance of the invita-
ton of the league by President Wilson
to act as mediator between Armenia
and the Turkish Nationalists. there is
growing feeling that the league coun-
Gil is deftly trying to induce the United
States to give indirect support to the
league theory. There is no question that
American sympathy Is in harmony with
any programme that will result in world
disarmament, but 1t Is realized also that
any programme adopted by the league
would place reliance for It's fulhlment
upon the league itself.
The State Department to-day made
public the text of the invitation to this
Government from President Hymans of
the league council to take part in the
disarmament discussions, but without
comment and has not decided whether
to accept or decline 1t. President Hy-
mans makes II clear that participation by
the United States in a consultative ca
pacity would in no way "encroach upon
its own perfect liberty of action" but
there is feeling that acceptance might
be interpreted as giving support TO a
theory of international relationships
which the American people have not yet
approved.

TRIESTE, Dec 3.-Up to l o'clock this
afternoon Gabrielle d'Annunzio's declara-
ton of a state of war between Italy and
the Regency of Quarnero--the Fiuman
Government-which was to have taken
effect at midnight, had been productive
of nothing but complete silence. So far
as appeared no operations were under
way on either side.
Official word from the Fiume admin
istration on the situation was lacking.

the d Annunzio administration.
F'iume seemed tranquil yesterday,
with the exception of unimportant raids
by submarine chasers. There was not
the slightest movement of the popula-
ton, which was maintaining an indif-
ferent attitude toward the legionaries
who were engrossed In the work of

addressed letter to the CANADIAN mis-.
sionaries there In answer to charges
made recently by the missionaries that
massacres. alleged to have been COM

letter emphasizes that churches and
schools were burned only where there
was incontestable evidence that they had
been used as breeding places of in

Warning is given in the letter that
any spiritual or material assistance the
British missionaries give the Corean
malcontents will lead to a breach in the
good understanding between the two

gent races in India and that If British
christians assist the Corean malcon-

Although Rome newspapers are now
freely declaring that the present attitude
of D'Annunzio can hardly be regarded
as the highest form of patriotism, the
attacks which D'AnnunZio is making
with his usual vehemence upon every
one in disagreement with him are re-
