 The Chamber of Deputies, acting with almost unprecedented speed. last night appointed a special commission comprising representatives of all the constitutional parties to go to Fiume m an effort to convince D'Annunzio that the highest interests of the moth CT country required his submission to the Adriatic settlement with the Jugo- slavs.
