Fiume, Ap. 27.-Gabriele Dan
nunzio's "foreign office" gave the
Associated Press today the text of a
message which will be dropped from
airplanes on the next council oil pre-
miers, D'Annunzio planned to shower
the San Reno conference but did
not start soon enough. The message
reads:
"The league of Fiume, coalition
of peoples oppressed and wronged by
Anglo-Saxon hegemony, BY the
pseudo league of nations and by the
peace conference, has been constitu-
ted.
Gabriel D'Annunzio, defender of
'Italy'sR eastward march, is its chief.
He hat already obtained the adher-
'ence of Ireland, Egypt, India, Persia
Afghanistan, the whole Of Islam and
the oppressed peoples of the i'm
perialistic Belgrade government in
cluding the Croats, Montenegrins,
Albanians, Bulgarians and Macedo-
mans, These will find at Fiume the
support they lack to organize a fight
against their despots.
The league will combat the gov
ernment of Hungary, defled BY
crimes, and which is the shame of
Europe and Turkey, coveted by rapa-
cious merchants. In contrast to the
pseudo league of nations it will cause
the nationalities to prevail.
"The peoples enslaved by the Brit
list empire and by the United States
must be delivered. The Germans
made subject by hateful and thirsty
vengeance must be restored to their
country. The monstrous edifice built
by the international bank over the
bodies of 100000 dead must be
destroyed"

CATTLEMEN HOLD LARGE
MEETING AT SILVER CITY

A two day session of the execu-
tive board Of the New Mexico Cat
tie & Horse Growers Association
in Silver City was concluded Tues
day. More than so New Mexico
stockmen were in attendance.
Many matters of vital interest to
cattlemen were taken up including
the adoption of a plan submitted by
Victor Culberson of Silver City 10
have members of the association
submit lists of their cattle for sale
TO their local chambers of commerce
for resubmission to the offices of
the association who will advertise
such stock in the papers OF the
grass feeding countries thus eli
minating some OF the middlemoE
Adoption OF this plan was unani-
nous
Other matters acted upon were
actions in protesting the Federal
Reserve progressive discount rates
that obtain in the Kansas City, Dal-
las. St Louis and Richmond districts
and urging the Federal Reserve
Board TO extend to cattlemen the
same treatment and grant the same
rates received by the farming and
mercantile interests: in authorizing
the petitioning Of congress to ac-
cord to the stock raisers the same
favorable treatment in the matter
of loans as is now given to the far
mer.
An appeal for the placing OF an
embargo on importation of beef un-
til such time as the present unset
tied market conditions in the Unit
ed States are adjusted was approx
ed. A protest was made against
the y hour limit OF the railroads in
granting return passage to ship
pers of live stock since this time
limit is insufficient. A 80 day
limit will be asked for.
All members of the association
are asked by resolution TO file
through the association instead OF
individually, all demand claims
against railroads growing out of the
injury or killing Of cattle or Other
livestock.
Opposition to the short ballot was
unanimously voted.
The cattlemen were guests last
night of the Grant County Cham
ber OF Commerce at a fried chick
en- dinner at the Broadway cafe
Addresses were delivered by T. f

association: Victor Culberson. Lieu-

STATE CAR STOLEN FROM
CAPTAIN MOUNTED POLICE

Sunday night the state car used
by A. A. Sena, captain of the mount
ed police, was stolen from near his
residence at Las Vegas and driven
toward Santa Fe by unknown and
as yet undiscovered parties.
About ten miles out the car which
must have been driven at high speed
collided with buggy which one man
was driving. the collision complete
ly wrecking both vehicles. The man
who was in the buggy at the time
was later picked up and taken to 4
hospital at Las Vegas, but the par
ties who stole the car have not
been apprehended. II is thought
from the completeness of the wreck
of the car that they must have suf-
fered considerable injury. but SO far
no clue to their identity has been
discovered.
