 Italian Republic

Rome. April 23-Is a Republic of Italy the latest dream of Gabrielle D'Annunzio and does he aspire to be it's first president.
 is the case. The poet-warrior atti- tude toward Italian national life, and particularly toward national elections, is regarded as having all the ear marks of far reaching ambitions on his part He has refused to stand as a candidate in the elections at Zara and in other districts where he could have been easily elected. The general impression is that he is "out for big ger game"
 Nor has he lost in popularity. On the contrary, support is steadily com ing to him from quarters formerly hostile to his policies.
 At the celebration of the birthday of Rome, for instance. Fascist (Con- servatives) and Nationalists joined bis own followers in cheering ''D'An- nunzio's republic and there were even shouts expressing the wish that he enter the quirinal palace.
 In reply to a telegram from Trieste veterans. the poet wrote that "Parlia- ments shall be destroyed the Rap palo treaty with Jugo-Slavia shall be cancelled and Italys constitution n shall be made the same as that which I gave to F'iume."
 This is only part of a we'll defined movement aunehed by D'Annunzio to win the support of the common people as well as of the F'acisti and Nation aliStS.
 It is a movement that is looked upon with unconcealed misgiving in military and political circles and the government is known to be watching it closely.
 D'Annunzio, ostensibly living in re- urement at his villa in Gardo is real ly in constant touch with his officer. at Plume who in turn are now allied with the Facisti leaders in the prin- cipal cities of Italy including Rome.
