Hme Controversy Due to War Treaty Seizure of the port of Fiume in September 1313, by Gabriele Italian poet-vvarrier, at the ticsd of 8,000 volunteer grenadiers and arrlitl, was the dramatic climax to controversy reaching back to the Treaty of London, concluded In the spring of 1315 between Italy and the allied powers, 'under whfeh Italy en-tared the war against the Central powitre.

The treaty assigned the part of Tyrol south of the Brenner pass, as well as Trieste, Gorizia, Istria and a section of the Dalmatian litteral to Italy, but gave Fiume, the seaport of Hungary, to Croatia. When the war ended, Italian nationalists, Including D'Annunzio, demanded that Flume, with Its preponderant Italian population, should l.e given to Italy, an act that would have required the revision of the Treaty of London. The Italians, however, invoked the principle of "self-determination" enunciated by President Wilson and pointed to the fact that the population of Flump, upoh the dissolution of the Austro- Hungarian empire, had proclaimed thru their national council, tho union of Flume with Italy. Croatia, now a part of Jugo-Slav-ii, opposed the claim on the ground that Sussak, an important suburb of Fiume and part of the city issolf, was overwhelmingly Jugo-Slav. In addition, the Croatians charged that, whereas Italy already had an excess of valuable ports, their country and the adjoining lands needed Fiume as their only outlet to the sea.

This position won the support of President Wilson who was subsequently denounced by D'Annunzio and his sym. pathlzers as "the only obstacle to the realization of Italy's aspirations." President Wilson's view, however, was shared by the British and French. Backed by Italian public opinion, the Italian delegation to the Paris peace conference, headed by Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Son-niiio refused to yield Italy's claims. In April, 1913, the crisis came to a head when President Wilson threat- ened to withdraw from the confer- once. He Issued a public statement sustaining the pact of London Insofar as it related to Fiume.

Viva d'Annunzio!" The d'Annunzio troops then entered the city. The 15 months that has elapsed since the poet-warrior set himself up as "a dictator" have been filled with tragic as well as opera bouffe events. Clashes between the Italians and Jugo-Slavs were frequent. D'Annunzio proclaimed the annexation of Flume to Italy even while that country was appealing to the allied powers to wrest the city from him. Riots, strikes and lire were numerous and tho United States cruisers Olympla and Pittsburgh were sent to the Adriatic to protect American interests.

The Jugo-Slavs cut off d'Annunzio's food supply and Italian warships blockaded Flume from the sea D'Annunzio put the city on scant rations and continued to issue defiant manifestos and declare he would "never leave Fiume alive." Many Italian sailors and soldiers Joined his forces until, at one time, he was reported to have an army of more than 100,000 men. He occupied several other places in the disputed region, Including Snssak, Rlsnlak, Durazzo, Trau, Castua and Zara and patrolled the Dalmatian coast with his warships. On January 1, 1920, when the Supreme Allied Council disbanded in Paris the Adriatic question was still unsettled. Last March, Italy strengthened the blockade whereupon d'Annunzio proclaimed Fiume "a free and independent state." In announcing this to the Allied powers he said the action did not mean Flume renunciation" of Italy.

These led to the parley between delegates representing both nations at Kapallo early in November, 1920, and a settlement of the long vexing Adriatic question on the following basis: 1. The Istrlan frontier to be controlled by the Jugo-Slavs; 2. Fiume to be Independent, with territorial contiguity to Italy; 3. Zara to be under Italian suzerainty; 4.

Islands of Cherso, Lussin and Unie to be granted to Italy. The treaty was signed by the envoys of both nations on November 10. It was later approved by the foreign relations committee of the Italian chamber of deputies. D'Annunzio was admonished to accept its terms. He replied that to do so would be "suicide" for Fiume and Italian regular troops then surrounded the city.

On December 1 d'Annunzio declared a state of war with Italy and there was much war-like activity in Fiume. TOMS FIVER, Dec. Kastner of was fined $100 and costs by Police Judge Joseph B. Willitg at this place, for illegally killing a deer. Fish and Game Warden J.
