Associated Press Review of Peace
Table Developments, and OF Po-
Iitical and Military Situation.

A1tho Premier Orlando of Italy an
nourced at Paris last night that the
Italian delegation would withdraw
from the peace conference and leave
Paris at o'clock today, it is under
stood that France and Great Britain
will make another effort to prevent
an open break at the peace table.
Hope is expressed in dispatches that
some way may still be found to ad-
just the situation so that Italy will
not quit the conference;
From statements made by Premier
Orlando last night, it seems that he
considered the publication of Presl-
dent wilson's statement relative to
Fiume as premature. In talk with
Italian correspondents he said that
the presidents declaration that Italy
should not have Fiume came Fat a
moment when the Italian delegation
was making a supreme effort to ar
rive at a settlement" In a letter dis
patched later to Premier Lloyd George
and Premier Clemenceau, the Italians
i declared it impossible to continue to
participate usefully in the conference.
The situation which has arisen by
reason of Italy's unyielding attitude
and Mr.. wilson's public statement is
admittedly grave. Premier Orlando
| has sent a report of the incident to
the Italian parliament and is quoted
as declaring that the italian people
would express themselves" Rome
! advices report an imposing demon
stration in that city in support of Pre-
mier Orlando and Foreign Minister
| Sopnino during which the American n,
British and French embassies were
guarded by troops ito avoid possible
| incident"
Paris dispatches late last night de-
clared that President Wilson's state
ment had the approval of Premiers
1lOVd George and, (<lemenceau.
The arrival of the German peace
delegation at Versailles has again been
delayed, it being announced officially
| that the Germans will not be on the
scene of the peace congress until May
1. 1t is declared that this additional
and associated governments, as there
| are many minor points which still
must be cleared up before the final
draft of the treaty is ready for pre-
| sentation. The italian crisis also will
tend to retard the framing of the con-
vention which the Germans will be
| asked to sign.
A further serious setback for the
Russian Bolsheviki has occurred in the
| Ukraine where Kiev, the capital, has
| been wrested from them by Ukrainian
revolutionists friendly to General Pet
lura, the Ukrainian anti-Bolshevik
| leader.
The situation in Hungary IS still
| shrouded in uncertainty. Reports as
| to conditions there are contradictory
| one saying that the Rumanian advance
| from the east is progressing and that
Czech forces are quiet near Budapest
| while another states that the Ruman-
| ians have been checked and that the
soviet regime is in full control of the
| situation.
| Mexico. it is officially announced
has recalled Alberto J. PAM. her min
lister to France, and it is rumored that
| the Mexican representative at Rome
also will be called Home. The inability
of Senior PAM to present his creden-
tails to the French government, a1tht
| he has been in Paris since last De
| cember is given as the reason fol
! Mexico's action relative to France
| Mexico also declares that she will no
recognize the Monroe doctrine.
