In Fiume as In later times 1t was
O. Annunzio who bore the brunt of
every executive action. He moved ex-
pedltiously. No man had to wait for
In order or an answer. Even though
dynamic in the extreme his orders
were often couched in the words of
poet, wild dreamer. but when dan
nunzio scared highest he com
PEELED the most respect. for this is
the thing his followers. whether in
peaceful or wartime pursuits have
been led to- expect of him. Instead of
saying. "Imprison this man." he would
probably order. Let the body Of this
man rest in moldy cell until he has
repented for his actions undermining
this ennobled state" That would be
more d'Annunzioesque.
But dAnnunziO is a student of psy-
choiogy. He knows What the people
expect Of d'Annunzio, and. being dam
nunzio, he plays up to the part. 1t is
not that he Is hypocritica1. but he
long since has learned to capitalize the
name d'AnnunZio. Had he not been
able to, do so he never would have
been able to enter Flume. never able
to remain there in contradiction to
world viewpoint.
In the thing he has done in Fiume
he always has been dominated by the
conviction that where politicians and
diplomats of his country wavered I'M
der the threats Of nations more pow

to its motherland. In the union OF
Fiume and Italy he has seen the re-
turn OF the long wandering and OPP
pressed children Of his own blood to
the parental hearthstone If he has
aspired to cara. Sebinico and other
points along the Dalmatian coast,
dAnnunZio has felt--and the thou
sands Of his followers backing his
every move have felt--that he has
been performing a real service to kith
and kin, and redeeming the pride of
Italy.
How can nation be founded on
the law before it has been founded
on the spirit? How shall truce be
granted to the scoffers who still are
pressing a sponge dipped in blood and
gall to the divine mouth, stuck on
the same reed that served to strike
the Son OF Man.
That is how this man, who is called
poet. patriot, adventuring mailman,
spoke his heart.
Crooked adversaries and livid

of our mother country. An open
wound may ache. but an open wound

Many a messenger of compromise has

used as opening wedges in his forth

ticular1y war years, more influence
with d'Annunzio than any others, re-
turned from Fiume. time and again
nonplussed by the adamant stand Of
the soldier-poet. Others of lesser
note went into Fiume bearing pleas
from officials in Rome. asking dan
nunzlo to forsake his course because
OF pressure. brought upon Italy by the
larger powers of the entente. Dan
nunzio's ears have not heard.
Known threats of economic and
financial isolation which were made
against Italy ii she did not settle
the Fiume issue early in the game
had no terror. D'Annunzio merely
smiled. He was always convinced
that the allies did not dare curb his
will; that Italy would not. Therefore,
he unhesitatingly laid plans for his
future actions and the union of Adri-
attic ports with his motherland. &
i X *
D'Annunzio was always ready fin the
early days of the Fiume occupation
to march on Rome and throw out OIL
Gals whom he considered mere
money changers in the temples"
men he believed were ready to barter
away the future of Italy for the sake
of alternating momentary burden
some conditions. From his own
mouth came assurances of that. From
many talks throughout Italy I real
.zied the grave possibility Of such
thing. Possibly danger of radicals
Selling advantage to further nefarious
aims alone stayed the hands of dan
nunzio, for withal he loves Italy with
,fanaticism.
He feels that he has dedicated his
life to Italy and that its people ex-
pect that he shall always remain their
ever-copstant guardian. A dreamer?
True, largely. But one dealing with
Latins, who are also dreamers.

ebbing and flowing over the plains Of

out an aerial mission. was handed

OF his mother. Eyes misted with
