We now are ready IOr an interna tional city. We want our port re opened to commerce. We want the city occupied either by an American or a British garrison. The present state is impossible." Gabriele D'Annunzio has ordered another deportation of Croats and* other foreigners who are "pernicious by their presence for the proper de fense of the city." The Socialists also have been included in the gen eral cleaning out of the city. Public meetings and demonstrations of any sort not having the consent of the poet soldiers police, have been pro hibited. D'Annunzio's forces have been con siderably diminished during the past weeks by desertions. This is espe cially noticeable among the officers, the number of whom has fallen off by 30 per cent. Efforts made to re plenish the forces by conscriptions of Fiun citizens have been unsuccess ful. Hundreds of youths have been called to service through the lines, sometimes disguised as tIalian sol diers. Former annexationists express de spair over what they term the fail ure of the poet-soldier's occupation of Fiume. The long strain of five months of isolation apparently has worn out the population. Business is stagnant. The port is empty, stores are doing little business and factories are idle. The hopelessness of the money mar ket situation tends to increase the hardships of all classes. Bankers are complaining of the lack of stability of currency, while workmen are de manding payment for their toil in comn. "Our money situation is appalling," said one of Fiume's prominent bank ers to the correspondent today. "It has been counterfeited to such an ex tent that now we dlon't know any values. There are all kinds of erowns in circulation-Fiume, Jugo-Slav, Po lish, Czeeho-Slovak and Austrian crowns. Then there is the lire. All of them are in circulation, stamped defaced and co'unterfeited. We must have a new money that is stable." 0 FOUND DEAD IN ROAD Anlerson, Feb. 28.--Lee Ward, a youngswhite boy 19 years of age, was found dead in the road this morning near tho Anderson Phosphate and Oil Du Reagist mpany which is about two miles of ,e city.
