Paris, Oct. "a. Reports that
Italy is about to face a coup d'etat
by Gabrielle D'Annunzio must be
discredited." declared Premier Clio
vanni Giolotti of Italy. in an ex-
elusive statement to me.
ITALY won't stand for disorder
from any quarter while she is
straining every nerve to settle the
most important internal labor ques-
tion in order to regain her former
prosperity" Premier Giolotti said
"D'Annunzio, apparently relying
upon the friendship of a few gen
erals and admirals, lately spread
the report that he might attempt
to land in Italy and even fly to
Rome himself, assuming the possibil-
ity that somS general might offer
his brigade to join the forces of
D'Annunzio. I'll Immediately dis
solve such regiments, giving the
men permission to return freely to
their homes.
Il am confident that the men
would Immediately quit their uni
forms and return to their work in
the fields. Those generals whose
treason to their country is unques-
tionable l will order brought be-
fore a drumhead court martial and
shot.
People Sick of Hotheads.
while the people Of Italy may
admire the soldier-poet from a SEN
timental point of view they fully
agree that the day has come when
hOtheaded diplomacy can no longer
be tolerated.
Had ! wished to resort to force,
Fiume could have been occupied by
regular troops long ago. But force
iss abhOrrent, ESPECIALLY against a
patriotic figure like D'AnnunziO.
whose idealism must be. respected,
even il it leads him to unreason-
able exaggeration. Anyone at
tempting to take advantage of the
present troubles. which Italy is fac
ing bravely, must be considered a
traitor.
Denies Red Power.
The avowed motive OF the
threatened move of D'Annunzio is
to stamp out Bolshevism in Italy.
Charges of Bolshevism are ground
less. because there is no more Boil
shevism in Italy than in any other
of the big allied countries. a hand
full of Anarchist agitatOrs cannot be
considered as a real danger or Boil
shevism.
/ "Agitators now are being arrest
ed and will be tried legally. Ma
tionalist sgitatOrs will be treated
in a similar way according TO the

management" Of our internal and

Harding. the Republican candidate,
today outlined the big issues Of the
campaign.
In a Communication addressed
ITO the American People" Sem
ator Harding charges his po-
litical opponents with completely
avoiding the duty Of enlightening
the voters upon the predominant is
sues affecting the future Of the
country.
The statement OF the Republican
nominee is an appeal TO the voters
of the country for their support of
his party. and it parallels the Demo-
cratic shortcomings with what SEN
ator Harding lays down as the con-
structive policies OF the Republican
party.

Seldom in the history Of our
country has there been such an
avoidance OF this duty upon the
part of any candidates as has been
evident among our opponents.
