SERVIANS AND ITALIANS. RAIDS OVER ARMISTICE LINE. SUPPORT FOR D'ANNUNZIO. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received 10.30 p.m.) A. and N.Z. LONDON, Oct. 3. The Trieste correspondent of the Daily Express states that the gravest _ situation exists on the Dalmatian coast. Sanguinary encounters have occurred between Servian and Croatian soldiery and Italian troops at Spalato and elsewhere. The Italians in some places crossed the armistice lines, and took local Servian troops prisoners. Women are taking a leading part on both sides, fighting alongside the men. - A soldier who was engaged in a political argument with an old Italian woman finished the discussion by running a bayonet four times through the woman. Italians in Brazil have sent d'Annunzio 500,000 francs. A son of | the ex-Premier, Signor Orlando, has brought d'Annunzio an additional 100,000 francs. D'ANNTJNZIO'S PLANS. | RECRUITING AN ARMY. FARCICAL BLOCKADE. United Service. PAEIS. Oct. 4. According to the Servian delegation, d'Annunzio's aeroplanes are scattering leaflets in Dalmatian towns, announcing that the poetsoldier will begin his "liberation" march by seizing the coastline when ,he has recruited enough troops for the mobilisation of a strong army, i It is stated that the continual arri- ; val of motor-lorries at Fiume with provisions indicates that the bloc-j kade remains farcical.
