FIumE REFUSES TO CONSIDER
WILBUR KEeLINoER
CREDENTIALS.
Failure Of United States to Accept In

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Trlest.-Wilbur Keblnger, Amer1-
can Consul to Fiume, left that city for
Triest &c, await instructions from the
State Department at Washington after
recognition had been refused by the
Fiume Government. DIR. Antonio GiO Os-
sich. provisional head of Fiume, said
to Mr.. Kebiinger: "We~Yere surprised
at this action on the part Of your gov
ernment in asking us to recognize you
and protect you when the United
States had not recogr lied us"
Dr. Grossich anL Foreign Minister
Springetti were very cordial to Mr..
Keblinger, saying in effect: "We must
assure you that there is nothing per-
sonal about this. We know you and
gladly would recognize you, and would
be honored in having such an esteemed
representative as you, but the diplO-
matte relations existing between our
nation and your Government do not
permit us to recognize you"
II Is learned from the Fiume author
tiles that Consul KOblinger's instruc-
tions from the State Department were
that he was to make plain to the Pro
visiOnal Government that his establish
ment of Consulate at Fiume was not
to be construed as recognition Of the
present Government, but that the
American Consulate was there ready
TO carry on consular business, and that,
as it sought the permission, recognition
and protection of the present authOri-
ties, the arrangement was the same
as prevailed under the old interallied
occupation before Gabrielle d'Annun-
Zio's expedition. Mr.. Keblinger, who
occupied the post when the poet-avia-
tor entered, was forced to leave on the
flagship Pittsburg with Rear Admiral
Andrews and the Vice Consul. Re-
fusal OF Fiume authorities to recOg-
nlze the Consul ties up the port so
far as American shipments are con-
cerned. No ship can leave Fiume for
an American port without bill Of
health from the American Consul, and
no ship has left the harbor for the
American trade since the American
Consul withdrew, in 1919. Before the
World War Fiume had an enormous
trade with America, shipping 5000 em-
igrants every month.

his Secretary of State have decided
to continue the same policy toward
Russia that was pursued by the last
administration. The United States
earnestly supported the first revolu-
tion, but it has consistently refused
to give any recognition to the radical
regime. Much pressure has been
brought to bear to secure such rec
ognition. It is encouraging to know
that the policies will not be disturbed

back in America on a years furlough
after five years work in China. His
father was the Rev. Amos Stout, for
merly pastor of the Baptist church
at Berea, who died recently.
Rev. Mr.. Stout at present is giving
several weeks of his time acting as
field secretary for the State organ
ization for the China Famine Relief
Fund. of which DIR. E. Y. Mullins, of
Louisville, is chairman and Joseph
Burge, president of the Board Of
Trade, of Louisville, is treasurer.
When he left China, the famine
had not begun and the people, he
said, were hoping that the drouth
which had destroyed all regular
crops would not effect the emergency
crop of buckwheat and sweet pota-
toes and they would be saved without
outside help.
Normally Three Crops
In explaining the crop situation,
Rev. Mr.. Stout said that normally
there are three crops in the district
affectei by the famine. In the late
fall wheat is planted on most Of the
land, which Is harvested the follow
ing June by being pulled up by the
roots. The roots and straw are used
for fuel. Then the ground Is imme-
diately replanted in quick maturing
Indian corn and soy beans. Part Of
the ground Is left idle all winter and
planted to millet and kaffir corn.
Last year the drouth killed the usual
crops and late last summer an en-
ergency crop Of buckwheat and sweet
potatoes was put in, but the drouth
also ruined that In all Of the fam
inc area. affecting parts Of six prov
inces, they had about an 8 percent
crop.
The population Of the district Is
over twelve times as dense as the
population Of Kentucky, said Rev.
Mr.. Stout, and there are about 100,-
600, 900 people living there. OF these
about 45.000,o00 are hard pressed for
food and about 25.00O.000 fear star
