ARMORED CARS JOIN
D'ANNUNz|0F FORCES
Deserters Escape With Three
Machines-First Break
in Italian Army.
BY the Associated Press.


TRIESTE, December 1.-THE first
| break in the regular Italian army oc-
! Cured Saturday. when four armored
| cars started from Udine. three o.
! which succeeded in reaching the pal
ace of Gabrielle D'Annunzio in F'iume
The fourth car was prevented from
| reaching its destination by senti-
mel. who threw under its wheels OBJ
| it to a halt. The crew of the car
however. escaped and managed to
reach Fiume on foot.
Gen. Cgviglia. the Italian COM
mander. on Saturday went to Abbazia
Istria. known as the Nice of Italy
where he conferred with the com
manders who are opposing the forces
of D'AnnunZio.
It is stated that. owing to the i'm
movable position of D'Annunzio. the
government intends to send an ulti-
, matum to him containing the threat
oG an offensive action. 1t is reported
however. that D'Annunzio would well
come any military demonstration.
The detection from the army and
the recent joining of the poets forces
by naval craft, it is believed here. Will
hasten decisive action. Gen. Cavig-
las mission to Abbazia is considered
in this connection.
There were wild scenes in Fiume
Saturday, when members of the au-
tonomous parties, who are D'Annun-
zio's sworn enemies, were beaten by
DICTIONARIES in reprisal for their hav-
ing adopted resolutions condemning
the poet. Socialists also were attack
ed.
The old national council has adopt
ed resolution declaring that It's
members will remain true to Dan
nunzfo.
5. MILAN, December 1.-the Fiume
imbroglo is getting worse. Another
destroyer, the Espero, Of the blockad-
ing fleet, has passed over to Gabrielle
DAnnunzio. The government now has
decided to abandon any further efforts
at Cancellation.
Soon after the ratification of the
treaty Of Rapallo by the senate ener-
rgetic action will be taken.
- kCompromise Fails Completely.
By Cabie to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright, 1920.
ROME. Italy, December 13.-The
Fiume question occupies the center of
the political stage in Rome, and all other
questions are forgotten. The attempts
of the deputies and senator's to effect a
compromise with D'Annunzio have failed
completely. Everything breaks without
effect against the poets unconquerab BIZ
pride and vanity. He is insolent to all
who interfere and INDUCES in extrava-
CANT acts such as kneeling to sailors
from the feet who have gone over to
his side.
Premier Giolitti seems resolutely de-
termined to carry out the treaty and
turn over the islands of Arbe and
yegalia to the Jugoslavs. D'Annunzio
demands for Fiume the small Porto
Raros and Eta between Fiume and
Susha, but beyond this it Is impossible
to learn what he does want. He says
in one breath that fraternal blood will
not be shed and in the next that the
tyrants can execute their will only over
his bleeding body.

ASKS CONTINUANCE
OF j. S. ROAD AID
Meredith Points Out Needs
to Highway Officials
Conference.

Continuation of federal aid in road
building. which will cease on June 80
next. unless Congress, acts in the
meantime. was advocated today by
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
who addressed the sixth annual meet
ing of the American Association of
State Highway Officials at the open
ing of their four-day session at the
Washington Hotel.
Prompt action in this matter 8 i'm
perative." said the Secretary 1.-The
complete success of the work as a
whole depends in no small measure
upon the certainty with which we can
plan ahead for a number Of years.
Forty Of the state legislatures will
be necessary for them to make the
requisite provision for meeting fu
ture federal appointments.
"Furthermore, we are now threat =
ened with a situation which we fear
ed would exist when our soldiers
employment already is in evidence in
some sections Of the country and
may become moro general. A continu-
alton OF this great program Of public
Improvement will help take up the
slack in employment"
Mr.. Meredith called attention to the
fact that In his annual report to Con-
gress he had recommended the ap-
preparation of 100000 900 year for
a period of five years to be used in
road building, each state contributing
an amount equal to that spent by the
national government within the state

tary Meredith. included Thomas H
Macdonald. chief of the bureau of

the Victorious of San Francisco.
The great harbor, which is capa-
bic of accommodating a quarter of
the worlds tonnage. is virtually
deserted. but still it has slightly
more life than six months agD, be =
cause of a renewal of American
shipping through an arrangement
of the United American lines with
the Hamburg American line, which
Is dredging, rushing repairs and
building ships preparatory to- re-
sumption of world trade in cOnnec-

Small shipments of print paper,

BERLIN. December 13.-Several
American business men, who. when
the value of the mark was only 1
cent, year ago. bought up every
: thing in sight are back here with
tales Of woe. Many of them claim
that they were done by the Ger
man merchants. They paid out hun
dreds of thousands of marks and or
dered everything from ordinary, pins
to automobiles de luxe. They went
to any amount of trouble to get ex-
port licenses and some OF them even
bribed officials to get the goods out
of Germany without paying the fancy
duties provided by law
Buying UP cheap things in Ger
many does not necessarily mean saw
ing money and making large profits
said the buyer of one New York i'm
porting house today. Our conSign-
monts were Il long time i'll arriving
and when they did come half of them
were not what we had bought. But
l have learned a lesson and | ans
here now to buy only non-perishabie
goods, which must be shipped after
our inspection to be paid for on de-
Livery in the United States
The presence of large numbers of
American buyers is regarded here as
an indication that there VIII be
new slump in the value OF the mark
in this month and January.
