London, Dec. 2S.-According to a

reason to believe that Fiume has been
occupied by Italian regular troops
This impression was substantiated by
the declaration Of Premier Giolittl,
made at a press conference in Rome
last night
Fierce fighting is proceeding in the
environs Of Fiume. says the dispatches,
and the losses to the regulars are
very heavy, among the casualties
being two colonels mortally wounded.

resistance encountered by Caviglia's
troops apparently is Unexpectedly
strong, and the capture of Fiume has
been considerably delayed by the
poets defence.

Where no cause is shown the county
commissioners will certify the names
to the registrars. and voters SO certi.
fed may register September ii or Oc-
tober 2.
The registration commissioners have
received numerous complaints from
women who have not been assessed.
One complainant said it was not con-
venient for her to 60 to her door when
the assessor called. ..
The commissioners said excuses of
that nature will not be accepted But
IN instances where the assessor failed
10 make his rounds or where the women
voters were away from home when he
called the explanation, it was said, will
be satisfactory.

Miss Lippincott is paralyzed on the

SCHOOLS REOPEN;
| 100000 STUDENTS
1920 Vacation Over as Chill
dren Take Up Their
Books
10000 ON PART TIME E

At Q o'clock this morning public
school bells sounded the death kneii
of the 1920 vacation for more than
250, 900 pupils in Philadelphia.
Fortified in their hour of sorrow by
penny for recess" boys and girls
in all parts of the city trudged on
to school for another ten months study.
Approximately 20 200 of the pupils
will be on part time; that, Is they
must get their education in one long
daily session instead of the regular
two short sessions.
This method will be pursued where
the school accommodations are too
crowded. The registration this year
Is expected to show approximately 1o,-
600 new scholars.
The three largest high schools in the
! city have new principals today. Dr.
William Il. Gray assumed charge Of the
William Penn High School; DIR. John
l.. Haney, of Central High School, and
DIR. George +. Strading, of Northeast
High School.
Yesterday was registration day in
the public schools for new pupils, and
although there were no figures available
last night, reports from few of the
| schools showed that in some of the dis
tricts it was unusually heavy.
! The actual registration, however, Is
no real gauge of the number Of new
children eventually to attend city
schools. DIR. Oliver F. Cornman, asso
ciate superintendent, explained that
many parents neglected to register theii
children in advance.
"It seems to make little difference
how much we advertise the matter HI
said, "the parents wait until the schools
actually open before bringing theil
children for classification. Our rea
registration will probably not be NOR
than 5000 during these few days, Will
we receive many more new pupils
throughout the year"
The schools will meet in single ses
sion until September 10, when the regu
lar morning and afternoon session
will be resumed.
