ITALIAN REGULARS JOIN D'AHNUKZIO Four Armored Cars Go Over to Defender of Finnic Propose Offensive.TRIEST, Dec. 2. (Hy the Associated Press.) Ihe first break in the regular Italian army occurred Saturday when four armored cars started from Udine, three of which succeeded In reaching the the palace of Gabriele d'AnnunzIo in Finine. The fourth car was prevented from reaching its destination by a sentinel who threw under Its wheels obstacles which cut the tires-, bringing it to a halt. Tho crew of the car, however, escaped and managed to reach Flume on foot. Gen. Caviglia, the Italian commander, on Saturday went to Ahbasia, Istria, known as "The Nice of Italy," where he conferred with th" commanders who are opposing the forces of d'Annunzio. PrtKse? Offensive. It is stated that owing to the immovable position of d'Annunzio the government intends to send an ultimatum to him containing the threat of an offensive action. It is reported, however, that d'Annunzio will welcome any military demonstration. Tho defection from the .army an 1 tho recent joining of the poet' forces of naval craft it is believed here will hasten decisive action. Oen. Caviglia's mission to Abbazia is considered in this conection. There were wild scenes in Flume Saturday when members of the autonomous party who arc d'Annunzio's sworn enemies, were beaten by legionaries In reprisals for their having adopted resolutions condemning the poet. Socialists also were attacked. League Members Pull Against Each Other, y Says Von Bernstorf f BT:RLIN, 1c. 12. Count von IJernstorff, former German ambassador to the United States, in an article written for the Cerm.an society for a league of nations, Fays the Geneva assembly gives the impression of a "wagon with a horse hitched to each end." "The Knglish horse." says von Hornstorf, "would pull the waj;on forward, but the French horse on the other end pulls it backwards. However, tho English horse appears to be the stronger. Lord Robert Cecil, though not present as a, delegate, is yet the driving force cf the asse mbly." Germany's hopes for membership in tlie Lea. cue of Nations, says Count ven I'.ernstorff. rests in an eventual union with England and America to form the league as constitcted.

(IJy the Associated Presto The Tacna-Ariel case, which in the la-st 4S hours developed a serious crisis in the League of Nations assemblj", was the subject of long discussion at a special meeting of the bureau of tho assembly Sunday afternoon.

After the meeting of tho council, Paul Hymans told The Associated Press that everything was being done to induce both countries to postpone the case.

He did not believe either country would withdraw from the assembly and de clared rer-orts to this effect to premature. be Indication of the' feeling over the. case Is to be found in the fact that the representatives of Peru and Bolivia failed to attend a formal dinner given by the Chilean delegation last night in honor of the South and Central American states. The cas3 Is complicated, .according to the delegates, by the discovery of valuable deposits of nitrates in the disputed territory. The assembly is deeply concerned over the situation, the seriousness of which there is no effort to conceal. r U. S. Anti-Japanese Laics Protested hy Tokio Mass Meeting TOKIO. Dec. 12.
