.Colorful Figure Of World War, Gabrielle D'An1,uncio, Is Dead,
 h Italy; Once Seized Fiume

ROME. Mar. 2-Gabriele d'An- nunzio, Italy's soldier-poet, is dead. He emerged from the World War as one of the most colorful figures of that great conflict.
 His seizure of the city of Plume as protest against it's disposition by the Conference of Versailles was the most extraordinary exploit of his picturesque career "a career which brought him fame as poet, novelist, dramatist, soldier and pa- triot.
 Many ROmances
 This many-sided man also at tracted worldwide notice because of the many romances in which he was involved.
 When the war began d'Annunzio became deeply impressed with the vital necessity of Italy participat- ing in it so as to realize her sover- eighty in the Adriatic. When Italy failed to obtain Plume in the peace conference he looked upon his coun- try's part in the war as failure.
 Commanded Air Force
 At the time d'Annunzio was com- mander of an Italian air squadron at Venice and the peace conference action impelled him to fiery elo- quence and denunciation of his own government. Public disapproval of the governments failure to obtain Plume eventually caused the fall of the ministry headed by Premier Or lando.
 A new cabinet headed by Premier Nitti was formed and in newspaper articles and speeches, dAnnunzio warned the new government that it must not return from the Peace Conference without Plume and Dal- matia. This, he declared, was the dictum of the Italian people.
 Aroused People
 In his speeches he aroused the people to demonstrations against the government by referring to the ministry as infamous vultures, who want to bury all heroism," and de- claring that Italy's rights were being sold by the Peace Conference for gold. He was criticised in the Italian Chamber of Deputies on the ground that he had attacked Presi- dent Wilson in one of his speeches. World Startled The world was startled by the an- nouncement on September 12, 1919, | that d'Annunzio had arrived at Fi- | ume at the head of force of Ital- ian soldiers said to number between 5000 and 12,000. The men, equipped with machine guns and armored automobiles. occupied the city in | violation of government orders.

DEPARTMENT OF
 NAVY EXP ANDINC NOW IN ALASKA.
Certain Parts of Amaknak Island Transferred by
 Executive Order
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate DimOnd


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--(Spec- ial Correspondence)-The transfer ring of certain portions of Amak- nak Island, near Unalaska, to the Navy Department by an Executive Order signed by the President on February IS affords further evl- dence that the Navy Department program is advancing in a small scale but scheduled manner.
 Unlike most Executive Orders which state the anticipated use that will be made of such transfers or reservations, the only reason given in this was that it was for naval uses." However, recalling a statement contained in letter written by Assistant Secretary of the Navy Edison to Delegate Di- mond some time ago, that the Navy Department was studying "the possibility of stationing a small number of seaplanes at Un- alaska" the almost certain con- clusion is that the island will be used for the seaplane base. It was in this letter that the Assistant Secretary also referred to rehab- ilitation of buildings at the Naval Radio Station at Sitka for use "of personnel of patrol planes operat- inp from tenders" and for which the station is now being used. Reference was also then made to rehabilitation of certain facilities of the old Naval Radio Station, Woody Island, Kodiak, for a sim liar purpose" And shortly there after the Executive Order was an- nounced reserving a small area near Kodiak flor the use Of the Navy Department for present and prospective naval uses." Everything added up, it all bears out the belief that seaplane operations of the Navy will soon be functioning m the area around Unalaska.
 The strategic importance Of Al aska in the national defense war rants the establishment of sep arate naval district for Alaska. in
