Council of Four Still Wrestling
With Problems From Adri-
attic Region.
SITUATION IS ACUTE
Rome Delegates Insist On Integral
FuIfiIlment of Secret London
Treaty, Giving Italy Entire DaI-
matian Coast and Islands.

Paris, April 22-Efforts to smooth
out the Italian and Jugo-Slav situation
again have failed. Baron Sonnino,
Italian foreign minister, and Premier
Orlando again met David Lloyd
GeCrge, the British prime minister,
and NJ. Clemenceau, the French prem
ier President Wilson was not present.
The Italian statesmen will meet
with NJ. Clemenceau and Mr.. Lloyd
George, but President Wilson again
will be absent. If any decision Is
reached at that time it will be neces-
sary to submit it at still another meet
ing at which President Wilson will be
present.
Acute Stage Reached.
The Italian issue over the Adriatic
has reached an acute stage. where a
decision one way or the other cannot
longer be deferred, and a decision
either way is fraught with serious
consequences.
Despite the Easter calm, the Council
OF Four continued its sessions at the
White House" Orlando and Baron
Sonnino were both present, and made
1t known that the opening of the Ital.
ian parliament on Wednesday has
necessitated their leaving Paris Mon
day with definite knowledge of what Ia
going to be done.
Baron Sonnino continued to occupy
the extreme position, insisting upon
the integral fulfllment of the secret
treaty of London, giving to Italy the
entire Dalmatian coast and islands and
also claiming the city of Fume with
out internationalization or division
with the Jugo-Slavs.
Orlando conciliating.
Premier Orlando was more concili
ating. A telegram which he had re-
ceived from the heads of the Italian
army declared that the entire army
was behind him
Captain Tozzi, of Premier Orlando
staff, said the telegram was in effect
an ultimatum and disclosed how uni
versal and deep rooted was the Italian
determination to secure adequate pro
lection OF the Eastern Adriatic coast

recognized, Italy would undoubtedly
adopt her own course, without refer
ence to the conference, and occupy
the regions to which she considered
herself entitled.
President Wilson's position was said
to be equally determined against any
recognition of the secret treaty ot
London. Reports of a compromise or
the basis of the Italians getting the
Italian quarter of Fiume and the Jugo
Slavs getting their districts were moi
confirmed.

ton Likely to Be Given At
torney General.
AGENTS IN READINESS
Number of Secret Service Operatives
Are Available for Duty owing to
Cessation of Activities Con-
nected With War.

Washington, April 22-It is said that
the department of justice is not averse
to accepting the function of enforcing
the wartime prohibition law when it
goes into effect July /.
1t is expected a proposal that the
enforcement be entrusted to this
agency will be submitted to President
Wilson on his return from Europe, and
that he will be urged to take this ac-
tion under authority Of the Overman
act which permits him 70 transfer du
ties from one government department
to another
Discussion of where the power to en-
force prohibition may be lodged was
prompted by the announcement Of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper
that his bureau had not the force to
police the nation with respect to pro-
hibition violations after July l. At
tOrney General Palmer has not stated
officially that he will welcome the du-
ties of enforcing prohibition.
Secret Age nts Ready for Job.
1t is said he has been advised that
the cessation of war work has left a
number of secret agents available for
other work, and they could take on
the liquor enforcement function.
Whether the President plans to give
the work to the Department of Justice
could not be learned Indications were
that he would not take action until his
return from Europe.
Since Commissioner Roper an
nounced a week ago that his force of
agents probably would not be able to
handle the problems of prohibition,
no action has been taken by the reve-
nue. bureau TO prepare for enforcement.
Neither have there been any reports
| indicating whether the President was
considering suggestions that the ef-
! fectiveness of war time prohibition be
| postponed from July by declaring
the period of rehabilitation at an end.
Stamps Allowed for Light Beer.
Nothing stands Immediately in the
way of production by brewers of beer
containing "a per cent of alcohol,
since the revenue bureau has decided
to issue revenue stamps required for
regular beer to these brewers. This
decision is not taken as indicating the
final attitude of the bureau, it was
said. The bureau still holds that beer
containing more than one-half of one
per cent of alcohol is Intoxicating and
cannot be produced under the Presi'
dents order forbidding the manufac
tNre of Intoxicating beverages after
last December H. This attitude IL
held in abeyahce, however, pending
an opinion fro ON Attorney General
Palmer, which was sought after brew
ers in New York announced their be
lief that "a per cent beer might be
made under existing laws and regula
tions.

labor of peaceful nations.
But as yet we stand only at the
threshold of happier times. To enter
we must fulfill to the utmost the ell
gagements we have made. The Vic
tory Liberty Loan is the indispensable
means.

lives and fortunes to the cause fol
which we have fought. Sixty thousand
of our strongest sons have redeemed
for us that pledge of blood. To re
deem in full faith, the promise of this
sacrifice we now must give this new
evidence of orr nurnoSp "
