FiumeProblem
Solued, Foreign
y Circles Runor
Solution Makes Adriatlc
Port Free City Similar to
Presidents S Proposal.

Nitti, Clemenceau and Lloyd George
have officially settled the Fiume prob
lem, 1t was rumored in foreign circles
here last night. The purported set
tlement makes the Adriatic seaport a
free city under the protection of Italy
According to the rumor this answer
to the much-mooted Fiume question
has met or will meet with President
Wilson's approval. In fact, this set
tlement is essentially in line with the
Presidents own compromise of the
case. it was intimated.
Possibly such a resolution is viewed
as "the practical way out of situa-
tion becoming increasingly danger
ous." The general feeling seems to
be that Jeugo-Slav officialdom will ac-
cept or can be persuaded to accept
this decision. The Jeugo-Slav and Ital-
ian governments would be left to
handle any popular opposition to this
settlement on the part of their re-
spective nationals.

President Wilson has decided that

be purchased by the United States
under the authority granted by the
MdNaTy act. extending for one year
the life of the Sugar Equalization
Board. Secretary Tumulty announced
last night.
For the United States. through the
Sugar Equalization Board, to appear
.as a purchaser of the Cuban crop
would further increase the price of
sugar to consumers, and might result
in a considerable financial loss to the
government. Tumulty said.
A warning to profiteers was contain
ed in Tumulty's statement. He pointed
out that the McNary act continues
the authority of the Sugar Board to
revoke the licenses of dealers who
charge unjust prices or who are guilty
.of unfair practices. This power will
be invoked whenever necessary to pre-
vent profteering. Tumulty warned.

Apparently the supply of sugar
available for consumption in the

of the platform of the better schools
committee.

The long discussion started when the
third paragraph of the committees re-

paragraph would have approved the
action of President w. B. westlake,
of the federation, and Mr.. Suter, par
ticipating in the schools movement,
and authorized them to act for the
federation.
This was amended. however, by a.
motion of William Nick Clavto,

FAVOR EARLY ACTION

Georgia Senator Convinced

A revolt OF Democratic Sena-
tors against the dictation OF Pres
ident Wilson in the treaty fight
assumed formidable proportions
yesterday.
The revolt will take definite
shape today when these Senators,
ten or twelve in number, will
meet at the home OF Senator
Hoke Smith, OF Georgia, to talk
over plans for putting the treaty
through with reservations which
can command sixty-four votes in
the Senate.
The fact that this effort at
compromise may involve the swal-
lowing Of the Lodge program in
its entirety does rot deter Senz-
tor Smith and those associated
with him in their purpose to
reach some understanding where
by the treaty can be ratified de-
spite the Presidents announced
opposition to any kind Of reserva-
tionS.

Senator Smith assumed the nominal |
leadership of the seceders by issuing
the invitation for the meeting at tis
home. He took the initiative in the
movement Immediately upon his ar
rival today from Georgia. where he
has been addressing his people on the
necessity OF having Americanizing
reservations in the treaty which tha
President accepted in Paris.
The Senator announced that about
a dozen Democratic Senators had ac-
