Relief will make to the country ID
February for funds to support It's
work among the starving peoples OF
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts Of humanity
which have prompted the people OF
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially of the Near
East, must not be allowed 10 grow

collect sufficient funds to enable

that the death rate is smaller.

not nearly the amount Of distress in

Wireless From Another
Planet Held Possible
British Astronomer Royal Dis
cusses Marconi's Theory of
Mysterious Air Signals

LONDON, Jan. 27.-Discussing the
mysterious signals described yeste rday
by Sgnor Marconi as having been re-
ceived in the form of interruptions of
the Marconi wireless Instruments, Sir
Frank W. Dyson, Astronomer Royal, to-
day admitted that in his opinion it was
quite possible to get waves from other
planets.
He was not prepared to go further
at the present time, and left it to
greater wireless experts than him self
to describe the effects of such waves.
Interviewed to-day regarding the sig
nails, Marconi said:
"hTey are sounds. They may be sig
nails. We do not know They are not
what operators call atmospheric, and
we have nothing to guide US at present
as to how they are caused.
1--WE do not get them unless we set
up a special wave length, very much
greater than the wave length ordina-
riy used. Sometimes there may be a
long wait before we hear anything, or
we may hear these sounds in twenty
minutes or half an hour. They occur
when we are using a wave length Of
approximately one hundred kilometers,
which il three or four times the length
used for commercial purposes"

Fiunne
Plan Accepted
By Jugo-Slavs
Decision Is Reached by a
Small Majority and Is
To Be Forwarded to Paris
Within Next 48 Hours

BERNE, Switzerland, Jan. PA Bel
grade dispatch says the Jugo- -Slav gov
ernment has decided to accept the AL
lied ultimatum with regard to settle
ment of the Adriatic controversy.
The decision was reached by a small
majority and after long discussion,
the dispatch adds. The Jugo-Slav reply
will be sent to Paris within forty-eight
hours. IL
The Allied ultimatum to Jugo- -Slavia
demanded that the government at Bel
grade decide without delay upon what
it wanted to do and to give a categori-
cal answer of yes" or mo" to the COM
promise offered by the Italians for
solution of the Adriatc question. A
Paris dispatch of Monday said that one
OF the first acts Of the Council of Am
bassadors. appointed to carry on the
unfinished routine work of the Supreme
Council of the peace conference, was
to give the Jugo-Slav represe ntativcs
four days additional time in which to
reply to the Allied ultimatum.
TIuuc % be Free City
Under the settlement plan as set
forth in the Allied ultifnatum to Jupo-
Slavla, now reported accepted, the CITY
OF Fiume was to be independent, under
league of nations guaranty. The port
and the railroad terminals, the Allied
note provided, were to be controlled by
the league of nations. The suburb of
,Sussah was allotted to Jugo-Slavia. A
strip Of territory along the coast was
dellmitated to connect Fiume with
Italian territory.
IN Dalmatla 1T was provided that the
city of Zera should constitute an inde-
pendent state under league of ma
tions guaranty. The terms stipulated
.hat Italy should retain Avlona. and
nave mandate in Albania, except that
the northern part of Albania, it was set
forth, should be made an autonomous
province under Jugo-Slav administers
ton. Italy was given the islands of
Lussin and LISA, the remainder to 20
to Jugo-Slavia. All the islands are to
be demilitarized.
Battling Peace Puzzle Solved
The settlement of the Fiume ques-
tlon ends controversy which has been
the chief stumbling block to peace in
the fourteen months since the close of
the war. Italian insistence that Fiume.
with its Italian population. should be
annexed to Italy, despite the fact that
the environs of the city are inhabited
by Jugo-Slavs, and Jugo-Slav objec-
tions to such a settlement, which would
place some of their nationals under a
foreign flag, have been at the bottom
of the dispute.
The controversy threatened for a
time to disrupt the peace conference in
Paris, as President Wilson's appeal to
the Italian people prccipitatcd the tenn
porary withdrawal from the parlcy of
the Italian delegates.
The disposition of Fiume was the
outstanding unsettled problem shifted
to other shoulders when the peace cor
ference which drew up the treaty with
GERMANY adjourned.
Meanwhile Gabrielle d'Annunzio, who
had occupied Fiume with his volunteer
force, continued to hold the city. de-
