CARABINiERI IN PLACE AROUND
 HUME CITY
Ry Associated Press,

LONDON, Nov 3O.-Fiume is surrounded by three battalions ot carabineers and shots have been ex- changed between the regulars and Gabrielle D'Annunzio's legionaries, says a dispatch to the London Times from Milan.
 General Caviglia, commanding the government troops, says he will do his best to avoid unnecessary blood shed, the dispatch adds.
 
 Carranza as his successor, began an active campaign and within a few weeks Ignacio Bonillas, at that time Mexican ambassador to the United States, announced his candidacy as civilian. charging that Obregon and Gonzales both. represented the military classes. Refuting the lat ter assertion, Obregon requested congress to withdraw his rank as general but this was refusedl.
 Early in April, General Oregon retired to his home in Sonora fol- lowing published charges tbat the Carranza regime was attempting to embarrass his candidacy. Almost CO., incident with this retirement came the defIection of Adolfo de la Huer- ia who, as governor of Sonora, re- fused to recognize the sovereignty of President Carranza in certain state affairs. This disagreement culmi- mated early in May in open revolu- ton with which General Obregon and numerous of his political aids and large numbers of followers be- came affiliated.
 Followed then in quick succession the march of the army of the north on Mexico City and its subsequent bloodless capture, the flight of Pres iident Carranza and his cabinet and the death of the executive in lonely mountain hut.
 Adolfo de la Huerta was elected by congress as the provisional presi- dent to act until December 1. Gen eral Obregon immediately returned to an energetic campaign and in fSeptember was overwhelmingly elected president An official can ivass of the votes cast showed that General Oregon received l,131C75l and his nearest opponent, Alfredo Robles Dominguez, received 47,442.

 Nations at Geneva, November 22.
 It requested that the horrors of the Armenian tragedy" be brought 10 the attention of the powers with a view to entrusting some power with the task oF taking the neces- sary measures 10 stop the hostilities in Armenia. The United States, al- though not a member of the League of Nations, was included among the nations of the world to whom the broadcast invitation was issued.
 Adoption of the resolution was preceded by some discussion of thC feasibility oi organizing an interna- tional force to intervene in Armenia assailed alternately by Turkish Ma tionalists, the bolsheviki and other trans-Caucasian clements.

 Wilson said he was without au-
 thorization to offer or employ

 lief of Armenia or any material

 sent of congress which is not

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 30 Gen eral Alvaro Obregon. who is to be inaugurated tomorrow aS president of Mexico, has prefaced his induction into office with promises of the im- mediate institution Of a program of social and civil reform that was said to be the basis for the revolution last summer which ultimately swept him into power.
 l He has stated not only to the press but in several joint confer lcnces with congress, that Mexico must open its doors to foreigners of good intent, must protect foreign capital. must settle its international obligations--in other words must get in tune with the world.
 As the fundamental basis for this adjustment, he has asserted that Mexico must return to a normal mode of living in which petty anlbi- lions Of individuals must be sub merged and vital policies of social reform put into practice.
 1 He recognizes education of the masses as the real first need and, if ihis plans are carried out schools long neglected will be opened and school teachers, long underpaid and in many cases not paid at all, will be given employment.
 The new president was born in ! 1880 in the state of Sonora From iearlv childhood he was forced to work for a living but he has become one of the country's biggest indus trial men. He is said to possess considerable wealth.
 Revolutions in Mexico within the past few years made him first a mil itary power ill the north, then a staunch adherent of Carranza, whose auccession to the presidency is said to have been largely due to the military genius and energy of Ob- .regon. It was General Obregon who at Celaya inflicted what is said to be the only decisive military de- feat Francisco Villa, the bandit ever suffered. With Carranza in power, General Oregon was entrusted with many difficult tasks oi reconstruc- ton, occupying numerous official posts, including that of minister of war.
 When, in the fall of 1919, Presi- dent Carranza announced definitely that he would retire from office at the expiration of his term on De ccnber 1, 1920, and that elections would be held in a regular and legal manner, General Obregon was the first to announce his candidacy. From his hacienda home in Sonora early this year he issued a manifesto which proclaimed him the leader of the Liberal Constitutionalist party and announced a platform of reform upon which he purposed to make his campaign. He immediately began a tour of the republic.
 Meanwhile politics was fermenting in the national capital. General Pablo Gonzales. at first reputed to hold the official favor of President
