...Santa Margherita agreement, a satisfactory disposition of Flume has at last been made. Since the acquisition of the Trentino at the close of the War, Italian eyes have been fixed on the east coast of the Adriatic which Italy has long desired, and which she hoped to gain peaceably. Her opponents, the Jugo-Slavs and their wire-pullers in Belgrade, have always been at a disadvantage of which they are well aware. Italy's military prestige and the moral support that the Treaty of London gave to her attempts, have made them afraid to push matters too far; all they...
...found with Mr. King's "Comradeship," in the June number. The Lloyd McKim Garrison Prize Poem, by A. Morley Dobson, shows much skill in the difficult sestina, but far too little depth of judgement. In more senses than one, it is simple to uphold one side of the Flume controversy, and only to rhapsodize, not judge, or analyze the question.

He is the same man who said that D'Annunzio had been assassinated, the same man who has told us more than 15 times that the Flumans are disgusted with D'Annunzio and that his "tenure of control of Flume" is "a matter of a few weeks at the most"; in short, he is the same man who has been so instrumental in conducting a campaign of slander against Italy and anything Italian. I deeply regret that the CRIMSON is humming...
Whatever the outcome of Flume might be, he who led the Italian people on the right side of war, he who sacrificed much for his country's sake, he who set aflame the hearts of patriotism after the disaster of Caporetto, he who with his "Arditi" answered, the touching appeal of a people about to be sacrificed, he, Gabriele D'Annunzio, will always be immortal to all true and loyal Italians!
