NEW YORK. Jan. 12.-No one In
America IL more overjoyed by the
survival by D'Annunzio and his sal
wage from the Fiume situation than
Whitney Warren. the architect apd
"ofieisl representative" in the
commander and council of Fiume.
Warren says that D'Annunzio will
live to attain even greater fame for
the reason that he is the incarna-
ton Of the ideals OF the Italian ma
tIon.
His great hght is for the political
publication of Italy" said the archi-
tsct. "D'Annunzio is against the
socialists and profteers. He wanted
to do for his country what oliver
Cromwell did in England, only he
remains loyal to the King. Italy IL
. government OF minorities, and in
order to remain in power its gov
erRment has to be a majority of the
minorities, of which there are from
eight to ten. The real purpose or
the DAnnunrio effort was to have
dissolved the Italian parliament and
necessitate q new election"
Warren thinks that D'Annunzio Is
the audible expression OF the aspira-
tions which are hidden in the hearts
of 80 per cent Of the Italian people.
He filed a protest at Fiume, in
effect, that the italians get the
fruits of their victory in the great
war: also for his country to SECURE
its ancient frontiers" he said. The
Adriatic is really the gulf OF Ven
ice, and the Dalmatians are Vene.
tisns who live across the narrow
inland sea. In the last seventy
years there has been much Infiltrs-
ton of Slavs and Croats from the
other side OF the mountains. Dan
nunzio represented the principle OF
Italy at home behind her natural
frontiers, while his arch-enemy, the
present premier OF Italy. is a defeat
ist, and during the war was pro-
German"
HOME FoR INFIRM
Is TREASURE TRoyE.
You can't get away from it, there
are some persons in this world who
are born lucky. When the managers
of the Jewish Home for Aged Infirm
decided to leave Mount Vernon, n.
Y, and relocate in April within the
Greater City nearer the residences
OF its directors, they finally hit upon
the old Pope mansion, in Bushwick
avenue, for which $4,000 was paid.
Now they discover that the struc-
ture is a treasure trove.
II estimate that the interior fit-
tings and decorations are alone
worth s10o, ,0ee," said DR.. J. z.
Braunstein, secretary of the home.
The parquet foor OF the billiard
room could not be laid today for
less than $4,000. A hydraulic or
gan in the building when new cost
upward of $4,000. and II is as good
as new pow. There are twenty-four
rooms, most OF them equipped with
wonderful oak closets. Many of the
chandeliers are OF twenty-two-carat
gold. The cathedral glass windows
have a value Of several thousand
dollars. Much Of the fittings are Of
heavy Japanese brass, and the mt
raj decorations are really elaborate.
while hidden away in the walls was
a massive vault that would cost
ts.ee9 to duplicate.
DR.. Braunstein says that while
t25,eee will be spent modernizing
the interior with bathrooms, flre-
proohng and electric wiring. the
board Of the home finds that it will
be able to expend another $4,000
for an annex to replace the green
houses. The change of location will
increase the capacity of the home
from forty 70 two hundred. No
hA-,Alaua
years old is admitted, and the Oldest
present inmate in Mount Vernon has
seen ninety-four birthdays. we
have secured an old mansion for old
people" said the secretary in con-
clusion. "and no charge whatever is
made to our inmates. In their new
surroundings they cannot but feel
at home"
morris PURCHASE
oLD-FAsHIoNED MANSION.
In Washington Square almost in
the shadow of the Washington Arch,
which white marble pile was de-
signed by the late Stanford White,
who was murdered by Harry Thaw,
I saw an old-fashioned mansion, un-
til quite recently the home OF Julia
Marlowe, the actress and wife of
E. H. sothern. 1t is being reno
waited and shortly will become the
town house OF Mr.. and Mrs. Mort.
The purchase Of that mansion tells
the story Of the tremendous popu-
larity of the Italian restaurants
with the Gotham public: and Incl
dentally reveals the shifting char
acter Of the city's population. Half
century ago Washington Square
was the Mayfair of New York and
the abode Of the aristocracy. But
society moved first up Fifth avenue
and then over into Park avenue. IT
am having the finest bathroom ever
built in our new home" said Mrs.
hori, a handsome brunette, who as
sists her husband in his business.
TT is costing us 5000"
