ITALY IN THREAT
TO QUIT MEETING
Delegates win Withdraw From
Peace Conference Unless
Given Fiuma.
Colonel House Believes Peace Treaty,
Including League of Nations Cove
nant, viii Be Ready for Sig
nature March 20.

Paris, March 22.-The Italian dele
CATION to the peace conference has
unanimously decided to withdraw from
the peace conference unless F1ume Is
assigned to Italy contemporaneously
with the conclusion of peace.
The decision of the Italian deiega-
ton, as reported from Paris. apparent
ly brings to head the bitter contro'
versy between Italy and the new Jugo-
Slav state over the disposition OF lana
along the Adrlatic formerly belonging
to the Acknowledgements empire. which
both nationalities claim.
Italy's claims originally included vir-
tually the entire Dalmatian coast
with Trieste and Flume, which latter
city is the second principal seaport
on the eastern side of the Adriatic.
Recent reports have been that the
italian representatives were manifest
ing a disposition to make important
concessions regarding the land along
the Dalmatian coast, provided the city
and harbor of Fiume remained to
Italy.
The Jugo-Slavs, however, have been
inslstent that this port be allotted TO
them, claiming 1t to be essentially a
Croatian city and necessary to the
new Jugo-Slav state as affording the
only feasible, 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 Fiume was
FIer attitude was officially
stated by Premier Orlando In address
ing the Italian chamber of deputies
March 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
reaching her from the Italian town on
the Gulf of Quarnero (Fiume)," which
was Exposed TO the loss Of both its
nationality and independence"
I'VE do not think" added the pre-
mier, that this is possible at the very
moment when 1t is wished that the
world may be redeemed from a mem
DRY of violence done to the rights of
peoples"
Fiume before the war was the chief
seaport of the Hungarian kingdom.
1t has several harbors and its position
and facilities made It the seat of vir-
tually the entire shipping trade of
Hungary. It had an snte-bellum popu-
lation of nearly 10000.
Paris, March 22-The United States
has put in maximum claim for loss
of life and property during the war
aggregating a little less than a billion
dollars, the amount for individual loss
Of life being $4,000 in each case.
Col. f. NJ. House of the United
States delegation to the peace confer
ence told British journalists he was
convinced that the peace treaty, In
GLIDING the league of nations cove
nant, would be ready for signature on
March %, and added that he would be
disappointed if the Germans were not
at Versailles three weeks hence.
When informed of the statement by
Colonel House that the Germans were
expected at Versailles in three weeks
Mr.. Lloyd George said: add another
week and it will be about right"
