Show LANDING AT TRAU. Tho landing of American" sailora at Trau has been severely criticized in both houses of congress and the senate has adopted a resolution requesting the president to transmit a report of the incident. While tho senate was debating debat-ing the matter news came from Paris to the effect that the landing was not directed by the supremo council, the explanation being made that when a party of Italians entered Trau it was feared a clash might occur with tho Serbians. Tho landing was made after the Italian admiral appealed to the American admiral to intervene for the maintenance of peace. This, the dispatch dis-patch from Paris added, Bear Admiral Andrews did as part of his regular duties du-ties of policing the Adriatic and without with-out any instructions from Paris. This ought to be a satisfactory explanation. It will be satisfactory to such senators and American citizens as are not seeking to make all the trouble possible pos-sible for those who are earnestly striving striv-ing to bring lasting peace to. the world. The situation at Fiume, along the Dalmatian Dal-matian coast and in Italy itself is serious seri-ous enough without fuel being constantly con-stantly added to the flames. |
