M0CT MDIÎI '\t;- A a'1'/ (Associated Press Despatch) ROME, Sept.25.\u2014Cabinet ministers do not conceal tire enormous gravity of the situation and the serious difficulty, not to say the impossibility of finding a satisfactory solution to the Fiume problem.They do not want to use force against Captain d\u2019Annunzio, wishing to avoid fratricidal conflicts, and it is said that this hesitation may be partially due to the fact that troops ordered against the poet\u2019s forces might refuse to obey orders.Persuasion, it is said here, is useless without agreeing to Captain d\u2019Annunzio\u2019s conditions\u2014-the annexation of the port of Fiume and the Hinterland to Italy proper.It is asserted that if the Italian Government should accept such condition®, Italy would have a gains her, not only her Allies, but her erstwhile enemies headed by Jugo-S'lavia, which perhaps would already j have acted but for internal troubles and the lack of a responsible govern-: ment in power.The Italian Government was the first to recognize the impossibility of getting the Allies to acknowledge as an accomplished fad the occupation of Fiume, for if they admitted of this view there would be \u201caccomplished facts\u201d everywhere.The advisability of the Cabinet resigning has been considered, but the idea has been abandoned, since a ministerial crisis would not help to solve the problem, nor is there a man available with greater authority or more energy than Premier Nitti, who is generally considered the strongest statesman possessed by Italy.He has considerable opposition, however, which is fomented by Nationalists and supporters of Baron Sonnino, former Minister of Foreign Affairs.Besides, the presen^ Chamber of Deputies may be said to be almost considered illegal and hardly representing the will of the people, since its term expired during the war, being prolonged to avoid elections during the conflict.It is pointed out that this naturally weakens the significant of support given the cabinet.Hope is entertained that the Crown Council will succeed in bringing about an agreement by all parties on a stable policy.D\u2019ANNUNZIO\u2019S TROOPS ARE MAKING ADVANCES ON SEVERAL OTHER CITIES I will participate in today\u2019s \"conference\u2019!\t1 Pf SPl fi The president of the union said : àtàxPkJ k Â\tUkaii today that if a strike should be or- stii.r1\u20191\u20191 \u2018\"\u2019\u2018fai °ii\u2019i\u2018\u2018i8ht Fri- uny EHUIOY CITY WITHDRAWS OLD CASE FOR SALARY TAX: Agrees io Discontinue Action and ''Associated Press Despatch) ROME, Sept.25.\u2014Reporting rumors that Captain Gabriele D\u2019Annunzio\u2019s partisans are advancing tow'ard j Trail, Sebenico and Spalato, the Mes-1 sagero severely censures elements \u201celements which are thus creating! occasion for further conflict.\u201d The newspaper says a number ofi deputies have signed a demand for ai secret session of the Chamber.\u201cDo you want another war?\u201d asks,1 the Messagero, in commenting on reports from Fiume and Dalmatia show-j ing that the D\u2019Annunzio movement is £7nr5\u2019TS'8'!r^^ \" ADMIRAL KOLCHAK ; HAS NOT RESIGNED ; - < (Associated Press Despatch) !
