ORLANDO ARRIVES
IN ROME: To TALK
OVER SITUATION
Paris Expects Developments
From italian Capital In
Few Days.
(By The Associated Press.

Premier Orlando reached Rome
Saturday to take up with the Italian
government and parliament the sitna-
ton brought about by the statement
Of President Wilson that Italy shall
not have Fiume.
The Italian premier received am
enthusiastic ovation and the phrase
"ltaly, Fmme, Dalmatia" was dis
played prominently. Foreign Minister
Sonnino and Former Premier Salan-
dra Of the Italian delegation have
left Paris for Rome to join the prem
Ter. Minor members of the Italian
delegation remain in Paris.
There has been little change in the
situation in Paris and all attention
there is focused on Rome and what
Developments may occur in there in
the next few days. The British and
American delegations are hopeful of
fearful that the enthusiasm of the
Italian people may compel the Ital-
ian delegation to make demands
which cannot be met.
President Wilson conferred with all
the members of the American deega-
ton this afternoon. In the forenoon
he met with Premiers Lloyd George
and Clemenceau to discuss financial
clauses of the peace treaty.
Report Inaccurate
A statement issued in Paris saying
that the report was inaccurate that
the British and French premiers had
approved President Wilson's state
ment on the Adriatic problem, added
that the premiers had sent a joint
statement of their view to Premier
Orlando. 1t was said the question of
making the Franco British statement
public was for Signor Orlando to de-
eide.
Issuance Of statement bringing
out that the British and French pre-
miers agree with the president OF,
Fiume and other phases of the Ital-
ian problem is being discussed in high
quarters of the peace conference.
Meanwhile, the various commits
sions of the peace conference are pre-
pairing for the plenary session Mon
day to consider the league Of nations
covenant and the presentation of the
peace treaty to the German delegates
about the middle of the week, prob
ably Wednesday.

.BURLE:S0N REPLIES
TO TELEGRAM
SENT BY POST
Declares Real Issue Is De
sire To Have Postage
Rates Reduced.

Washington, April Go Replying
late today to a telegram from Char
les Johnston Post, director of the
publishers advisory board, regarding
the use of convict labor on his plan
tatlon in Texas, Postmaster General
Burleson, said:
"Answering your wire. The full
facts in connection with the lease to
the state Of Texas of the plantation
IN which | was interested upon which
the state used it's convict labor and
the terms of the contract IN connect
ion herewith, have been placed be-
fore the congress more than once and
have long been matter of public
record. 1t would be quite interesting
for you to publish now and later
have laid before congress the facts
in the same detail about moneys rails
ed and spent to secure the repeal of
the zone postage rate law. Of course
you know what the New York World
did when it published this falsehood
that | did not use convict labor on
my plantation but that the plantation
was leased and cultivated by the
state Of Texas and the convicts used
thereon were at all times under the
state exclusive control and manage
ment"
Ask Reduced Rates.
Later Mr.. Burleson issued a state
ment declaring that the resolutions
adopted yesterday by the publishers
association committee to petit
ton for the repeal Of suspension of
the law increasing the rate of post
age on newspapers and magazines"
'This makes the issue plain said
Mr.. Burleson's statementA Should
the law be repealed or should it be
permitted to stand?"
However much selfish publishers
may attempt to camouflage the sit
uation, the thoughtful, intelligent
reader will not lost sight of the real
issue; shall the old time $72,000,000
postal subsidy be restored to the few
parasite publishers who have for
years plundered the postal reven-
ues?"

After ScaIDerS.

1t developed today that several gov
eminent agencies including the de-
partment of justice, the federal trade
commissio nand the treasury have talk
en- steps looking to investigation of re-
ports that Liberty bond "scalpers"
are doing a thriving business in many
localities by buying up bonds of past
issues at very low prices. These
bond brokers, it has. been reported,
urge persons to sell bonds already
bought and to subscribe for the new
issue OF Liberty notes.
In some cases, amateur brokers
have paid as little as $40 and in some
cases $50 for 500 bonds, although the
markets for all past issues are above
800.
The investigation has been under
taken to ascertain whether buyers OF
these bonds have misrepresented the
market value in an effort to lower the
buying price. Newspapers were
urged again to publish in prominent
position the~narket quotations for
bonds OF past issues, as telegraphed
owners from being mulched of their
savings.
No 'Licensed'' Brokers.
Other reports to the treasury are
to the effect that bond buyers in
large cities advertise that they have
been licensed by the government to
buy Liberty bonds.'' Officials today
explained that no brokers have Deen
licensed by the government to buy
bonds, or that no formal restric-
tons are imposed by the treasury
In several cities, men have estab-
lished what they call Liberty bond
exchanges" offering to take Liberty
bonds in exchange for cheap jewelry
or other merchandise and to pay a
cash balance.
Prevention of fraud or of sharp
PRACTICES in these cases rests largely
with local Liberty loan committees
it was said, since grounds cannot
often be found for prosecution under
| federal laws.

the conduct Of the postal, telegraph

Chicago.-The Y. M. g. A. carried
the Red Triangle into the camps ana
trenches abroad at cost OF o. lives,
a sacrifice proportionately one-quarter
as great as that in the American army.
according to statement issued BY tho
national war work council OF the 8.
NJ. G. A. OF these fatalities 80 were
due to disease, and the remainder to
shell-flre, bombs. gas-fever, drowning
and wounds. Ten Of these were wom-
en-, one Of whom was killed by shell
fire and the others in German ale
raid.
There were also IS non-fatal cas-
ualties. These were due principally
to machine gun fire. shell fire. and mo.
tor transport accidents. Numerous
cases Of slight wounds and gassings
which were attended at dressing sta
tions, but were not reported to head
quarters, are not included.
These casualties occurred In force
which at no time exceeded 5000 work
ers, Of whom 1t Is reckoned that moro
than One-half were never sent to the
front. being employed in the hundreds
Of huts maintained throughout tho
training areas and the "leave areas"
Sixty-three ~" workers were deco
rated, while in all more than 152 res
ceived official recognition for distiil-
guished service. Thirteen of these
were decorated with the Croix de
Guerre, while 48 received other deco
ratfons. OF these, three received the
Distinguished Service Cross, three
the Order Of st. Stanislaus, five the
Italian Cavaliere del Corona, 80 the
Italian War Cross, and one the
French decoration of the Corps
d'Armee. Seven were cited for the
Croix de Guerre, and seven for other
decorations, six commended for merit
orious conduct, and twenty-nine re-
ceived honorable mention In dis
patches. Several units were cited In
their entirety, those serving with the
Third division being cited twice. More
than score more reported decorations
have not yet been confirmed.
Not one Of these men under thirty
was fit for military duty, but the cita-
tions show that they carried on with
the same courage and spirit that iden-
titled Americans throughout the war.
These records show that they went
over the top with the assaulting
waves, that they exposed themselves
under machine gun and shell fire to
minister to the wounded, that they
worked indefatigably as stretcher
bearers, and that they drove ambu-
lances into the midst Of battle to res
cue the wounded.
