D'ANNUNZIO'S RAIDS.

GOVERNMENT PRECAUTIONS.

DISAFFECTED SERVICES.

) (By Cable.—Press Assoclatlon.-Copyright.) (Received 10.35 a.m.) ROME, November 26. An official communique, dealing with % d'Annunzio's raid on Zara, promises the fullest precautions to prevent further raids by d'Annunzio. j The Government repudiates Admiral Millo, who was previously implicitly trusted, nis support of d'Annunzio caused surprise and shock. The communique adds that it appears that the army and navy is very restless owing to the groundless rumour that Zara was to be ceded in exchange for Fiume. Leading newspapers denounce the Zara and Milan exploits.— ("Times.") D'Annunzio is making wholesale arrests of Jugoslavs as hostages for the good behaviour of the inhabitants and for d'Annunzio's personal safety.— (A. nnd N.Z. Cable.)

I" SICK OF SUCH ADVENTURES."

ITALY AFRAID OF WAR. (Received 1.50 p.m. ) ,' j PARIS, November 26. I Popular feeling against Italy is deepen- '; in:; in Serbia owing to d'Annunzio's (seizure of Zara. Italian newspapers I strongly disapprove of the poet's recent j actions. Tho "Tribuna" says that if I d'Annunzio threatens Ragusa and Spnlato, Italy will be involved in a conflict with all the Allies. Other papers say that the country is sick of such adventures. There is a danger of the Socialists thinking a new war is being provoked.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)

ANTI-GOVERNMENT INTRIGUES

(Received 11.35 a.m.) ROME, November 2C. i A semi-official statement indicates that the Adriatic position is becoming critical. It is reported that d'Annunzio aims at tho liberation of Montenegro from the Jugoslavs, besides the annexation of Dalmatia, and is also intriguing against the present Italian Government.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)

DISAFFECTION IN NORTH.

ANTI-MONARCHISTS ACTIVE. LONDON, November 26. There are serious revolutionary disturbances in Italy. The northern provinces are disaffected. The view of the majority of observers is that the Socialist deputies returned in the recent elections are against the Monarchy. The i Cabinet remains in constant session, and a strict censorship is maintained. The position is gra.vc, but is not regarded as ularming.— ("Times.")
