TO WITHDRAW FROM
PEACE CONFERENCE
ITALY UNANIMOUSLY DECIDED
If CLAIM TO FlUME 10
DENIED HER.
Decision of Italian Delegation Appar-
emily Brings to Head the 5'tter
Controversy Between Italy ana me
New Jugo-Slav State.

Parjs.-The Italian delegation to the
peace conference has decided unan-
imously to withdraw from the CONFER
ence unless Fiume is assigned to Italy
contemporaneously with the conciu-
sion of peace. This decision was reach
ed at meeting Of the fall delegation
presided over by Premier Orlando. II
was communicated Immediately to the
Powers. Colonel e. M. House, Oh the
American mission, promised premier
Orlando to present within a few days
a project concerning the ltalian-Jugo-
Slav frontier which he hopes will set
lie the dispute satisfactorily. me oe-
cision of the italian delegation, as re-
ported from Paris, apparently brings
to head the bitter controversy De-
tween Italy and the new Jugo-Slav
state over the disposition of land along
the Adriatic, formerly belonging 10
the Austro-H Hungarian empire, winch
both nationalities claim
Italys claims originally included Vlr-
tually the entire Dalmation coast
with Trieste and Fiume, which latter
city is the second principal seaport on
the western side of the Adriatic. Re
cent reports have been that the ltal-
ian representatives were manltestlng
disposition to make important con-
cessions regarding the land along the
Dalmation coast, provided that the
city and harbor Of Fiume remained to
Italy. Jugo- Slavs, however, have been
insistent that this port be allotted TO
them, claiming it to be essentially Il
Croatian city and necessary to the new
Jugo-S lav state as affording the only
feasible and suitable sea outlet for her
commerce. On the other hand there
has been no disposition on the part OF
Italy to yield her point so far as FL
ume was concerned. Her attitude was
stated by Premier Orlando in address
ing the Italian Chamber of Deputies
March 1. when he declared that while
Italy remained faithful to the spirit
of Cancellation which inspired the
treaty upon which Italy entered the
war" that did not mean that she could
remain insensible to the appeal reach
ing her from the Italian town on the
gulf of Quarnero Fiume)," which was
exposed to the loss of both its ma
tionality and independence.
