"to' m f s iP-.-W. !r 2. lory, all that was accorded her in , the so-called pact of London, but I am of the clear opinion that the pnet of London can no longer ap ply to the settlement of her east ern, boundaries. The line drawn in the pact of London was conceived for the pur pose of establishing nn absolutely adequate frontier of safety for Italy against any possible hostility or aggression on the part of Aus tria. But Austria-Hungary no longer exists. These eastern fron tiers will touch countries stripped of the military and naval power of Austria, settled in interdepend ence of Austria and organized for the purpose of satisfying legiti mate national aspirations and cre ated states not hostile to the new European order, but arising out of it, interested in its maintenance, dependent upon thn cultivation of friendships and bo mil to a com mon policy of peac and accommo dation by the co'nant of the league of nations. Agrees on Triest and I'ola U is with these facts in mind thnt I have approached the Adnata- question. It is commonly agiced, and I eiy heartily adhcie to the agreement, that the ports of Triest and Pola, and with them the greater part of the Austrian peninsula, should be ceded to Italy, her eastern frontier running along the natural strategic line estab lished by the physical conforma tion of the countrj a line which it has, been attempted to draw, with .some degree of accuracy, in the attached map. Within this line, on the Italian side, will be considerable bodies of non-Italian populations, but their fortunes are so naturally linked, by the nature of the country it self, with the rest of the Italian people, that I think their inclusion i'uily justified. There would be no justification, in my judgment, in including Fiume, or any part of the coast line to the south of Fiume, within the boundaries of the Italian king dom. Fiume is, by situation and by all the circumstances of its de velopment, not an Italian, but an international port, serving the countries to the cast and north of the Gulf of Fiume. Autonomy for Fiume Just because it is an interna tional port and cannot with jus tice be subordinated to any one sovereignty, it is my clear judg ment that it should enjoy a very considerable degree of genuine autonomy, and while it should be included no doubt within the cus toms system of the new Jugo Slavic state, it should neverthe less be left free in its own inter, est, and' in the interest of the states Ijing about it, to dcotc itself to the serice of the com merce which naturally and inev itably seeks an outlet or inlet at its port. The states which it serves will be new states. They will have com plete confidence in their access to an outlet on the sea. The friend ship and the connections of the future will largely depend upon such an arrangement as I have suggested and friendship, co-op-peration and freedom of action must underlie every arrangement of peace if peace is to be lasting. I believe there will be common agreement that the island of Lissa should be ceded to Italy, and that she should retain the port of Vol pha. I belioe that it will be generally agreed that the fortifi cations which the Austrian gov ernment established upon the is lands near the eastern coast of the Adriatic should be perma nently dispensed with under in ternational guarantee and that the disarmament which is to be ar ranged under the league of na tions should limit the states on the eastern coast of the Adriatic to only such minor naval forces as arc necessary for policing the waters of the islands and the coast. These are conclusions which I am forced to by compulsion of the un derstandings which underlie the whole initiation of the present peace. No Other Conclusion Possible No other conclusions seem to be acceptable to being rendered, con cisely with these understandings. They were understandings ac cepted by the whole world and bear with peculiar compulsion upon the United States, because the privilege was accorded her of taking the initiative of bringing about the negotiations for peace, and her plans underlie the whole difficult business. And certainly Italy obtains un der such a settlement the great historic object which her people have so long had in mind. The historical wrongs inflicted upon, hsr by Austria-Hungary and by a long series of unjust transactions, which I hope will before long sink out of the memory of man, are completely redressed. Nothing is denied her which will cdmplete her national unity, v Here and there upon the islands ofthe Adriatic and upon the cast am coast of that sea, there arc set iijMHwt' containing large Italian C;,BopuatiGBr one the enter the family of nations will abundantly safeguard the liberty, the development nnd all the just rights of national and racial min orities, nnd back of these safe guards will always lie the watchful uuthority of the league of nntions, and at the very outset we shull have avoided the fntal error of making Italy's nearest neighbors on her east her enemies and nurs ing just such n sense of injustice ns has disturbed the peace of Europe for generations together and played no small part in bring ing on the terrible conflict through which we have just passed.

The 114th Ilepiment Includes mem bers of the old Third Regiment, Na tional Guard, of Camden. They saw much service in the closing dajH of the war, and buffered many casualties at Sedan. There seems to be some doubt as to where the 114th Hegimcnt will land. It was first intimated it would disem bark at Newport News. However, the Victory jubilee memorial committee, o." Camden, is planning to welcome the troops, no matter where they land. Mayor Ellis will head the committee. The other members include Sheriff W. Penn Corson. Freeholder Charles V.

"We inflicted 100 per cent casualties." The ridge was hcaily wooded, and it was a des perate mtiire to charge through the underbrush against the well-protected machine-gun nrst. Schad and Jiis twenty-two men held the position ull night and until late the following morn ing, when the battnliou caught up to his" unit. Corpoial Dunn won the medal in the Argonne wood on September 20, whrn lie crawled through the German lines nt daybreak and captured a machine gun nest single-handed. Dunn is a member of Company K, and his com pany had been nlmost wiped out in the preceding (lay's battle. There were only seven men left when he went over the top during the night, and he got icpnrated from his company. In the morning he spied the machine-gun nest and crnwled up to it. He threw a band grnnade which caused the Germans to yell "Kamarad!" and Dunn returned triumphantly to the American lines with four prisoners and two machine guns. ' Captain 4s Reticent Captain Bailey modestly declined to state how he had won tlie coveted dec oration, and all efforts to learn of his achievement were unavailing. Privates Murphy nnd N'ixou were decorated for carrjing wounded men back to the point where they could be reached by ambu lance during the Argonne fight. Private Frederick Austin, of 01H4 Media street, Philadelphia, spent the entire journey in the stokehold of the Kroonland in an effort to help the vessel beat the Minnesota across. There was a scarcity of firemen on the Kroonland, and the vessel was held up at St. Xazaire for twenty-four hours on this account. Austin, who used to ,bc in the Philadelphia Fire Department, at tached to Engine Company No. 11, vol unteered for the job nnd shoveled many tons of cqal as the result. When the ship reached New York this morning the men of the 11th took up a collection and presented Austin with $17u, which wasn't bad for ten days' work. Auttin has a wife and five children. W. G.

Soldiers at Dix Not for Parade Continued from rare One ator Penrose, who, in a telegram to Major General Scott, appealed for nu entire divisional parade and urged that no definite action be taken until Gen eral Muir, commander of the Twenty eighth, reached America today. Major General Scott replied thnt everything possible would be done. If General Beary is unable to perfect arrangements at Camp Di, he plans to go on to Washington to sec the War Department. ' Senator Penrose's telegram to Major General Scott follows: I "Adjutant General Beary, of Penn sylvania, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Pusey, quartermaster of the Twenty-eighth Division, and Lieuten ant Colonel Hagerling, both of them representing General Muir iu command of the Twenty -eighth Division, will call to sec you on ednesday at Camp Dix, relative to having the entire division parade in Philadelphia. It seems to me that the Twenty eighth Division presents a special case in view of the gallantry of its achieve ments and the casualties suffered, and also on account of tbe fact that it is entirely composed of the Pennsylvania National Guard. "The people of the whole state arc worked up to a high pitch of patriotism upon the occasion of the division's re turn, nnd will be keenly disappointed unless the parade is successful, which cannot be the case without the entire division participating. "I would ask you not to take final action in the. matter until General Muir returns to the United States, which will be, I am Informed, nbout May 4, when he will, I believe, strongly urge the propriety of having tbe entire divls Ion parade, (General Mule will nrrlve in Philadelphia this afternoon.)

Meanwhile, the men arc being rushed through the various operations prelim inary to demobolization, so that the troops arriving on the Pocahontas and Mercury may be cared for In the "un elenn area" when they reach camp to night. Vote Follows Conferenco The soldiers vote today follows a conference last night between Colonel Shnnnon and officers of the various units iu the camp. The question of a parade in Pittsburgh was decided upon, but the decision will not be announced until after this afternoon's conference. It is the general opinion among the men here thnt those coming from the' western part of the state will be sent home immediately and the others kept here for the parade in Philadelphia. Tho ballots were taken by the of ficers of the 111th. Each man was asked to vote yes or no on the proposi tion 'and the votes were recorded on sheets opposite their names. Major Foos, who lives nt 3.1 South rorty-fourth street, Philadelphia, point ed out that due to the many replace ments in the machine gun battalion there arc only nbout 200 I'hiladelphiaus in it. "The balance of the men," he said, "come from tbe central pnrt of the state1 and are decidedly against any de lay in demobilization. "If some arrangement could be made whereby the men could be allowed to go home and return for the parade and final demobilization following it, I do not think there would be any strenuous objection. I have talked with most of them, nnd am fully conversant with their sentiments." Reveille was, nn hour late today for the members of the units which arrived here last night after landing iu Ho boken jesterday on the Kroonland.
