REPORTED AMERICANS
ORDERED TO FIUME
Fiume, Thursday, Nov. 14.—Jugo
; vs to the number of 18.000, all arm
ed, have occupied Fiume under the
command of a Serbian captain, alter
ing the normal proportion of the dif
ferent races among the inhabitants.
“The main factor in the mainte
nance of law and order is the pres
ence of a small Italian suadron. The
Italian population is in a state of trep
idation amounting almost to terror.
The Jugo-Slavs have proclaimed the
name Fiume now is changed to the
Slav name of Rieka.
"Formal application has been made
to the tlalian admiral by four Ilun
ga'ian delegates from the republican
part of Hungary for passports to
Berne, as they are unable to secure
facilities to reach Switzerland by way
of Austria. The delegates are Paul
Keri, Nicholas Vadasz, Dr. Othon
Ernst and George Debolom.
“Some of the vessels in the harbor
here which formerly belonged to the
Austrian mercantile marine now are
flying the Jugo-Slav flag while others
have the Croatian flag. The Italian
maritime authorities have refused to
recognize the ensigns.
“The situation is perilous. Aside
from the final terirtorial solution there
is the utmost urgency for the protec
tion of the lives of about 50,000 Itali
ans. Either an Italian or an allied
force should be landed here and the
Jugo-Slav bands disarmed and Induced
to leave the city.”
It is reported here that American
troops had been ordered to occupy
Fiume in the name of the allies and
to R estore order.

SECRETARY
M’ADOO OF
TREASURY
RESIGNS
“A little pi ce of news,” says
McAdoo. %
The newspaper men were just
about to leave Secretary McAdoo’s
weekly conference late yesterday
afternoon when suddenly McAdoo
said:
“By the way, boys 1 have a
little piece of news that may in
terest you. 1 am retiring from
public life.”
Re talked informally with them
for some time, explaining his
move and then shook hands with
each. His conferences with the
press have always been frank and
there bus grown up a bond of
close friendship between him ami
the press.
Washington, D. C.—McAdoo will
leave tonight for a final inspection
4 trip over the rati lines. This trip,
which will complete inspection of
all lines under Federal control will
take McAdoo through the South
and Mississippi Valley. Jfe will he
away about ten days. 11 is first
stop w'ill he Atlanta.
Washington ,D. C., Nov. 23.—Secre
tary McAdoo himself and his closest
friends stood pat. today on his original
dec 1 ': fir. i t.j .the is leaving the treas
ury and railroad posts *>r just the
reason lie stated —for that alone—to
retrieve his fortune.
Resigning these two important posts
without any advance warning, McAdoo
declared late yesterday he needed to
get back to private lire to make suffi
cient money for family needs. And, he
pointed out that his energy was drain
ed though his health was not actually
broken.
There was a crop of rumors to “ex
plain” his going.
The fust wus that there had been a
split with the President a a there was
iri the eases of ex-Secretary of State
Bryan and ex-Secretary of War Gar
rison. The President’s letter. of ac
ceptance and the statements of Mo*
Adoo's friends, however. < id not bear
out this theory as most authorities
here saw it.
Secondly, there wac speculation that
the presidency in 1920 had an influ
ence on McAdoo’s decision.
Some thought McAdoo v/as skepti
cal of being a successful candidate in
1920. inasmuch as his continuance In
office might be attended by political
difficulties with the opposition party
next year over railroads and appropri
ations
, On the other hand, some believed
I that McAdoo felt by avoiding these
I difficulties he could appear In 1920 as
a government control advocate and be
swept into office on that plank and
his past record.
The general thought wa,s, however,
that McAdoo had quit public life as he
said. Those who believed this way
were inclined to think McAdoo had
drawn an adverse decision as to his
personal prospects In 1920 from the
republican victory In the last, elec
tion.
Coupled with speculation over what
might, have been background reasons
for his sudden and remarkable deci
sion was bilk of who would succeed
McAdoo. Bernard Baruch, Garter
Glass of Virginia and Assistant Sec
retary LefTingwell were mentioned as
prospects for the treasury pnst.
Baruch also was prominently dis
ctissed as railroad administrator, while
there was also considerable thought
that the railroads might he placed un
der Secretary of Interior Lane and the
interior department.
McAdoo did not acquaint his imme
diate associates with his purposes un
til late yesterday afternoon a short
time before he called in the press to
announce his resignation and its ac
ceptance. Re gave out correspond
ence whjch said the need for more
money than a cabinet post yield*, In
fluenced his going President Wilson
answered that he regretfully accepted,
at the same time highly praising the
secretary's faithfulness end ability.
McAdoo did not claim to be broken
in health, though lie did suggest, he is
much in need of a rest. It was re
called today that he spent some time
on n Western ranch recently because
of a throat trouble which wn:: mainly
superinduced by overwork.
President Wilson will orobnblv name
his successor before departing for Eu
rope.
Incidentally, the question of perma
nent government, control of railroads
is destined to arise soon. McAdoo is
known to have favored Indefinite con
tinuation of such control if not ac
tual ownership. Now railroad security
holders are organizing to test out this
situation and to rfore return of the

PITIABLE CONDITION '
OF FREED CHITONS
London.—Billable conditions among
Krltsh prisoners liberated by the Germans
since lie signing of the armistice are
described by Reuter's correspondent al
French headquarters. Thousands of these
men, mostly British, are entering France
dally. The correspondent writes
“I have never seen human beings In
such a stale of raggedness. hunger and
miser”. When the ramp at Forhnch ill
miles east of Metz, as well as those else
where, were broken 11 ,* the prisoners,
most of whom were captured during t lie
March offensive were told to clear out
and seek help from their allies They
started to walk the 50 or til! miles to the
allied lines, but were given no food and
had no money. They were in shameful
rags, the soles dropping off their hoots,
dome wore clogs and no socks.
"They left the prison camps In droves
of hundreds In charge of Merman officers
and soldiers who had deserted. The
weather was verv cold and many died liy
the roadside within a fc wmiles from
friends When the survivors entered the
French lines French soldiers who were
hardened war heroes, were horrified to
see men hi sueh .1 plight. M is not doubt
ed that this suffering was Intentionally
Imposed upon Ihe British. Prisoners of
other nationalities are agreed that the
British were treated worse than Ige oth
ers al all Merman rumps.’’
A further report of Sir Hubert Young
er's committee dealing with the treat
ment of British prisoners In the coal and
salt mines of Germany, gives harrow
ing details of brutal treatment by the
Germans This report says:
"From testimony scarcely a month old
It Is evident that there la no sign of Irn
prov merit whatever in the treatment of
