FIUME: OBJECT OF RIVAL
CLAIMS

The exploits of Gabrielle d'Annunzio
at Fiume, recalling the adventures Of
medieval knight. keep that ancient
city in the public eye.
If Trieste was the Bremen of Aus.
tria, Fiume was the Hamburg of the
Hungarian kingdom, close rival for
the brisk Adriatic trade Of the period
before the war.
Fiume is another Of those footholds
on the eastern Adriatic where Italians
chung fast despite the steady influx
of Slavs In the interior, and, in this
case even into Fiume itself. Thus the
city bears evidence of early italian cul-
ture, ii figured as potent Slav fac
tor in the turmoil of Balkan politics,
and it felt strongly the influence Of
Hungary upon its thriving industries
and fast growing commerce.
Magyar gerrymandering caused it
TO he annexed TO Hungary in 1870,
despite the protest Of Croatia to which
it had belonged since tie revolution
of 1850. Tender consideration for
its value as a seaport, rather than for
its citizens, prompted its establish
ment as royal free town, making it
a geographical slice of about seven
square miles cut out of Croatia.
Despite the Hungarian interest in
the city its pre-war population was 90
per cent italian and Slav, with the
Italians slightly predominant. Only
about half the remaining tenth We're
Hungarians. The Slavs included
Croats, Serbs and Slovenes. As i'm
portant to Hungary as are New York
or Boston to the United States, Fumes
total population is not much greater
than such suburbs of those American
ports as East Orange, N. J., or New
ton, Mass.
Fiume is situated on the northeast
shores Of the Gulf Of Quarnero, only
seventy miles, by rail, southeast of its
trade rival, Trieste. Across the bay
is the popular summer resort, Alb
bazia, famed for its evergreen laurel
and profusion of roses, to which tens
of thousands of visitors formerly
thronged each summer.
The older town, distinctively Italian,
is built on the hillside, overlooking the
gulf. The newer city lies nearer the
waterfront. There are three harbors.
The largest, accommodating $50 large
vessels, is protected by a breakwater
half mile long. The quay is nearly
two miles long.
Before the war Fumes manufactur-
ing plants included a government to-
bacco factory, the Whitehead torpedo
works, rice Smelling factory, a pc
troleum refinery, and many smaller
plants, among which were saw mills and
paper mills. Its fisheries constituted
an important industry. 1t exported
sugar, grain, flour, horses and timber.

PEKING: A CITY WITHIN
A CITY

Until recently Picking, capital of
China, with its 100000 people, was
one of the least known Of the great
cities Of the world. 1t took the Boxer
rebellion and the siege Of the legations
in 1900 to open the long-closed doors.
Recently 1t has been in the headlines
because of revolutionary disturbances.
Picking is "city within a CITY," The
Chinese city, built In 1913, is the COM
mercial center. The Tatar city dates
from 1867 and includes the famous
forbidden City," of which the
Dragon Throne Of the Son of Heaven,
Emperor of the Middle Kingdom, is
the center. The throne is of rare
wood exQuisitely carved. Just back
of it is screen of golden lacquer so
dainty in design and execution that 1t
gives the appearance Of golden lace
Around this throne room are arranged
the palaces, shut In by purple walls
The Chien-men street bisects the
Chinese city from the South Gate,
where the railway enters, to the prin-
cipal gate In the wall separating the
Chinese from the Tatar city. Along
this main thoroughfare there passes
a continuous throng. There. too. may
be seen the springless passenger cart,
with its blue arched roof and yellow
wheels, corrugated metal tires, and Its
awning sheltering driver and mule, or
the Monaghan camel, the ship Of the
Asian desert; and, Interesting above
all, the scarlet bridal chair with its
piece of bacon and parcel Of sugar
hung on the back as an offering 10 the
demons who might modest the bride

On the east side of this roadway is
an enclosure OF about one square mile
which contains the Altar of Heaven,
surrounded by shrines and temples. the

ELIOT

How are the evils that go with city
llcrowding to be avoided in the face of
the increasing congestion of American
cities?
BY making the cities more like the
country, is the gist of one noted think
ter's solution of that question. Despite
the steady procession of country folk
Ito cities, their new environment lacks
many of the benefits Of the places they
Icame from. in his opinion.
Charles W. Eliot, world-famous edu-
Gator. in communication to the Ma
ttional Geographic society says:
'Tn order to cure the destructive
levils of present urban life and the
factory system, 1t will not be enough
ito restrict the vices, to diminish the
pressure of poverty, to prevent de-

average human life. The human en-
lvironment must be not only negative
~ but positively improved; so that the
whole people May have the oppor-
itunity to cultivate healthy tastes and
interests, to acquire just ideals of
pleasantness and beauty, and to learn
the value toward tranquil happiness
of that living with nature which city
congestion has within single gener-
alton made almost impossible for null
titudes.
"The present evils Of city life and
the factory system-bad conditions
which civilization has itself created
