This even ing Litvinoff gave a banquet for the departing Chinese general. It was a great event. The dishes as they ap peared were like the things we have seen in dreams.

He has no idea of time. "The hours preceding were rather te-dious as conversation through an interpreter is not a success. One Ch ine.se talked French. He was presi dent of the Union of Chinese Workers. I sat between him and Litvinoff at dinner. l.itvinoff Is Clever Hofit. "Litvinoff did the host extremely well and was clever in placing us all. He created no many pusts of honor that every one felt gratified. He put Tchitcherin at the head of the table, so that the general and Vanderlip, on either side of him. felt they were guests of honor. He put me on one side of him .and Mrs. Karahan at the end of the table opposite Tchitcherin. "After dinner we adjourned in Karahan's big rooms 'opposite. Tchi tcherin was evidently embarrassed at meeting me again. 1 had no feelings on the subject and merely laughed. I said jokingly: 'Camarade Tchitcherin. you have treated me very badly." lie was again quite flustered. November 5. I have had my last luncheon at the Kremlin table d'hote, for I leave Kussia 'tomorrow. This table d'hote, which is a communist restaurant reserved for all the com missars and workers in the Kremlin, was unusually full today, even to overflowing. I was lucly to get my place.

"The interest for me was in the faces of the men themselves, who were of the most varied type it would be possible to colleA-t. One could not say they were typically Russian or typical of any race, or of any parti cular character, and yet there was some invisible link that joined all these men together in one common thought. "After lunch Andrev fetched me and an official showed us all over the czar's palace. There were exquisite small rooms with vaulted ceilings and frescoed walls, from which it is evident that stage scenery in the Rus sian operas has been copied. There are htill traces of red bunting, and ap peals to the workers of the world to unite in the collossal room over decorated with gold which was the throne room of the Romanoffs and in which the third Internationale had its last meeting place. "The modern apartments in the new wing are bad in architecture and bad in taste, but everything is left undis turbed, even photographs of the czar's coronation etill hanging in their frames in some of the rooms. The royal family scarcely came to Moscow so the place must always have had an uninhabited feeling. One did not feel the ghosts of former times as in some of the older parts of the building. health to you. imperial majesty,' but on this occasion the soldiers answered almost in one voice, 'Good health to you. colonel." "The czar seemed to realize for the first time the real situation. He be came ashen white, turned the collar of his overcoat up and shrank away. Planned Wrecking Cur's Train. "Lomonosoff also gave us vivid and thrilling accounts of the detailed or ganization in which he took part with the purpose of wrecking the czar's train while on his way to Siberia. Two runaway engines were to be dis patched with no one on board to comae into the back of the czar's, train. These plans were nlv f rus- ! trated at the last second by news of the czar's abdication. "When he proceeded to tell us how the czar's courage deserted him as rats do a sinking ship D. sat grimly silent. I could not help feeling' that they a little bit enjoyed his discom fiture. Later when we were alone to gether he said to me rather pas sionately: " 'If is not true that every one de serted my czar, for my best friend fol lowed him to Siberia to cheer his death, and there were devoted friends of the Czaritsa who did the same." "Well, I am near the frontier and I do not know if A am glad or not. I want to see my children terribly, but I have grown to love this r.ew world.'"

The democrats are holding out this suggestion as a subtle threat, without which legisla tion will be blocked. It is pointed out that as a result of the election there are three democratic vacancies on the finance committee, brought about by - the defeat of Senators Thomas of Colorado; Gore of Okla homa and Nugent of Idaho. The dem ocrats will make a formal demand for the assignment of Senator Underwood to this committee. Senator Smoot, who is regarded as one of the best financial authorities in congress, said today- that he would suggest the enactment of a tax of 1 per cent on all retail sales as one of the outstanding features of re vision of the revenue laws by the new administration.

ROME, Dec. 3. More optimistic views regarding the situation at Fiume prevailed today in political cir cles, the belief being entertained that a satisfactory solution would be found of the problem presented by the re fusal of Gabriele d'Annunzio, to make the acts of the Fiume government and the disposal of his forces con form with the treaty of Rapallo. "The news from Fiume is becoming reassuring." said War Minister Bo nomi at a late hour last night. "The situation has improved and a peaceful solution is virtually sure and perhaps not far distant." The chamber of deputies," acting with almost unprecedented speed, last night appointed a special commission comprising representatives of all the constitutional parties to go to Fiume in an effort to convince D'Annunzio that the highest interests of the mother country required his submis sion to the Adriatic settlement with the Jugo-Slavs. FIUME WAR SIGXS LACKING JVAnunzio's Ships Do Not Venture Away From Harbor.

Emis saries of D'Annunzio were going to and fro, explaining his point of view, but shortly before midnight there were no extraordinary signs that the threat of war would take a more concrete form.

Fiume seemed tranquil yesterday with the exception of unimportant raids by submarine chasers. The le gionnaires were engrossed in the "work of defense," but the citizens remained indifferent. . A member of D'Annunzio's staff told the Associated Press that D'Annunzio wished recognition from parliament of his services in occupy ing Fiume, and that he would become conciliatory in that event. The cordon of caribineers sur rounding Fiume was increased yes terday. The state of war between the king dom of Italy and the "regency of Quarnero" at Fiume began at mid night, but there was no visible evi dence that actual hostilities impend ed. The blockade of Fiume was con tinuing and the only indications of trouble were the fierce pronounce ments of Captain Gabrielle d'Annun zio against General Caviglia and the regular Italian troops which were surrounding the city. Communication between Fiume and the islands of Arde and Veglia was cut by an Italian patrol in the Gulf of Quarnero.

The entente pa pers had promised a coup d'etat for today, and my friends had begged me to wait and 'see the show,' but I did not alter my plans, as I knew by ex perience that I might wait in vain. Litvinoff saw me off at the station and In the privacy of my sleeping car told me the long-promised bit of a thrill. "News had come a month before saying that I was an agent of the British admiralty. Dzherjinsky had consulted Litvinoff about it and both decided it was not true. Dzherjinsky, the most dangerous, and Litvinoff, the most suspicious of men, had both be friended me. I all the while had been obviously unconscious of the cloud. This explains to me a message I re ceived from the commissariat of for eign relations, a month ago saying that if I accepted Trotzky's invitation to go to the front I should be de tained on my return.

He said: 'You call us robbers, but we called you rob bers." It was just a question of which robber came out on top. "Lomonosoff, who had been a railway- official in the czarlst days told us how he had accompanied the czar's train into Tsarkoe-Selo. The czar, he said, had even up to that moment not realized the meaning of the revolu tion. He probably thought he was re tiring to Siberia until the storm had blown over. "At the station on his arrival his bodyguard had by courtesy been drawn up to greet him. The czar alighted from the train and went to inspect the guard with the usual greeting, 'Good health to you, sol diers.'
