thought the government had made too
great sacrifices of Italys just claims and
the failure Of the plan undoubtedly will
be received with pleasure by them.
Adyices received today indicated that
the Jugoslav government while at first
disposed to accept the plan, which finally
was laid before it in the shape of an
ultimatum. found that public opinion still
held out for their extreme claims, cherish
ing the hope that the influence of Amer
ica would be successfully exerted to back
them in the position take under President
Wilson'S plan of settlement.
The plan rejected by the Jugoslavs was
said to have provided for the erection of
Ffume into free city under the jurisdic-
ton OF the League Of Nations: for the
continuance of Italian forms of govern
ment and the protection of Italian rights
there; for the cession to Italy of mar
row strip OF land along the coast con-
Meeting Trieste with Fiume. for the ex-

NEW LOAN SIGN OF
ITALY'S STRENGTH
Finance Minister Says Twelve Billion
Lire Raised Disproves False I'M
pressions Abroad.
rspeoia, Gable to the Herard.)

ROME, Wednesday. Italy is arranging
new sources of revenue to take care of
her debts and lack of faith in her is un-
founded. was the declaration of Signor
Schnezer, Minister of the Treasury. today.
He said that the proceeds of the new
loan would be used only for the purpose
OF withdrawing paper money from circu-
iation and to pay part of Italys obliGa-
tions. Twelve billions of lire already have
been subscribed to the new loan. he said
/. THE people are enthusiastic in support
OF the sixth national loan,' he said. This
is the best index of our splendid general
situation. Despite the unrest and the in
convenences caused by the all absorbing
Adriatic question and the postal, telegraph
and railroad strikes, we have already
reached 1900 100000 lire, figure which
Will double our largest loan during the
war.
''It Is probable that many Americans
will fail to realize the magnitude of this
effort unless they recall that Italy has
only onethird the population of Amer
lea and one-twentieth of her resources.
A total of $4,000 O00, 900 lire--ignorine
the abnormal and unjustifiable eX-
change rate-would he equal TO
5000, 900 900 in the United states. 1t
is d magnificent showing of the poiti-
cal and financial stability of our
country ana snoufu correct the bad i'm b..
preston abroad, especially in the
United states. concerning Italys re-
sources.
I'VE have been wrongly judged Lack
of faith in Italy is unfounded. We have
had and shall have serious problems, but
we are meeting them with courage and
are determined to emerge as soon as pos
sibl from the difficult position into which
the war threw us.
I'm fact, I'aiy is the first nation to for
mulate a programme OF financial recon-
struction by special legislation. We are
arranging new sources of revenue which
will take care Of our debts, interest and
sinking fund The proceeds of the present
loan will not be spent. They will serve
only to withdraw our paper money and to
pay part OF our obligations.
Americans should have faith In Italy's
future. They should not be alarmed by
rumors of unrest among the Socialists and
by the talk Of Bolsheviki--the wild hopes
of few dreamers among us. great
of our people are intensely patri-
otic and laborious and are determined that
Italy shall continue TO be great nation
and continue to perform her high mission
of peace and progress"

"One of the greatest obstacles to the ex-
