ANOTHER STORY.
WILSON'S APPROVAL ASSERTED
(Received 9.30 a.m.)
PARIS, Sept. 25
It is understood that President Wilson has approved of the settlement of the Fiume question as. recently proposed by the Supreme Council, on the terms that Fiume is to be a free city under Italian suzerainty, and that the port and the Fiume-Laibach railway are to be international under the Leagu e of Nations; also that Italy undertakes to construct no fortifications within a considerable distance of the town.
The last provison has infuriated the Italians here, who declare it is too late for a compromise. The feeling in Italy i s such that the only solution possible in the eyes of the Italian peopl e is the unconditional annexation of Fiume. Any Government attempting to compromise, will be faced with a revolution.
General Pepping Garibaldi, who has arrived at. Paris, told his compatriots that the only way out was by annexation. —Reuter.
