D'ANNUNZIO'S TROOPS
ARE VERY DEVOTED
Marked Demonstration Given Him in
Fiume Theatre-Crowds Cheer
His Every Movement.

/. Fiume, Dec ls.--A striking demon
stration of the devotion of DAnnun-
zio's trops to their leader was given
here on the occasion of the celebration
of the second anniversary OF the vic
tory of Italian arms in the war. The
poet Commander" as everyone calls
D'Annunzio here, occupied box in the
Venice theatre where the celebration
was held. His arrival was heralded by
bugle call and his appearance was a
signal for a thunderstorm of applause
and cries of viva il comandante.'
When two Others had addressed the
Humans who crowded the theatre, an
other blare of bugles made everyone
turn to the box where D'Annunzio
stood in the uniform of an Italian cav
airy officer 1t would be hopeless
task to attempt TO give pale idea Of
the enthusiasm of the crowd. Every
one rose to his feet and the theatre re-
sounded with the D'Annunzian cry of
Ella, Fla, Alala,' from thousands OF
throats while flowers rained upon DAN
nunzio from all sides.
Though his proclamations usually
are written in a poetical and some
what bombastic style, his speech con-
sisted of the simplest words. he de.
elared that Fiume alone really cele-
brated the Italian victory while Rome
celebrated the assassination of vie
tory" He asked his men to keep ready
as, sooner than was generally expected,
he would take them with him to Rome.
AT these words the enthusiasm was re-
newed, the people waved handkerchiefs,
hats, sticks and weapons in the air
amid cries of: ITO Rome, to Rome,
Ella, Ella, Alala, Rome, Rome" while
the bombardment of flowers was re-
doubled
D'Annunzio's exit from the theatre
was the occasion for fresh demonstra
tions of loyalty His motorcar was sur
rounded by the crowd and Obliged to
proceed at a foot pace while his men
fought among themselves to approach
and touch him. He was escorted all
the way back to his residence by an adj
miring multitude under a continuous
fire of flowers and amid cheers for him,
for Italy. Fiume and Dalmatia.
D'Annunzio seems to radiate magnet
ism. He has worked his men up to
such a pitch Of patriotic fervor and
devotion to himself that he seems to
have them almost hypnotized.

STUDENTS AID CHOLERA FIGHT
 AMONG CHINESE

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 (by Associated Press) American Baptist medical missionaries and students from the Union University Missionary Medical school are aiding the Chinese author ities in fighting a severe cholera epi- demic in Chengtu, Szchuan Province, West China w. P. Lipphard, secre- tary of the American Baptist For eign Missionary Society, has just re- ceived a message from Dr. w. R. Morse, of Chengtu, stating that the provincial officials called upon the French doctors of the Pasteur insti- ute and Dr. Morse and Dr. Allan, of the China Medical Missionary Asso- citation to help fight the epidemic. The Chinese officials accepted the advice of these medical men and pla- carded Chengtu with instructions for preventive measures. Dr. Morse's message stated:
 "We are here where plague and epidemic and pestilence begin. Were Asiatic cholera entering San Francis co the American nation would spend millions to stop it, but here, for hundreds or thousands we can kill the trouble before it can raise it's head away from home. We are doing what we can with an inadequate force and little money, but we are putting our schools and pupils to a very real test and we'll win out!"
 Secretary Lipphard stated that as a result of the Baptist New World movement it is hoped to enlarge the medical school and hospital at Cheng- tu and also to send approximately S5 missionaries to the several missions in China during the next four years.

OF SEATTLE VISIT
 FRENCH TOWNS

CHERBOURG, France, Sept (by sociated Press) The arrival of the Seattle, Wash, grade school teachers was somewhat of a disappointment to Cherbourg because, it had been re- ported, the party would stay two days and the city had provided a program of entertainments and sightseeing for that time. They, however, left by a special train a few hours after their arrival and there was only time for a hearty welcome on landing.
 A dozen little girls, dressed in white, presented flowers in the sta tion where the inspector of primary education welcomed them in the name of the minister of foreign affairs and public instruction. There was time for refreshments at the Casino hotel, where the dry regime of the United States gave way in favor of a glass of champagne. The deputy mayor told them how glad the city was to see them and Miss Josepha Burns returned thanks for her friends.
 The Seattle school teachers, men, toned in the Cherbourg story, were sent on a tour of the battlefields of France by The Seattle Times.
