RETURNED TO
PEACE MEETING
PREMIER ORLANDO OF ITALY
NOW IN PARIS AFTER MIS-
UNDERSTANDING
TREATY HANDED HUNS
FIUME QUESTION HAS BEEN SET
TIED SATISFACTORILY
TO ALL.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Paris, May 6.-The peace treaty for
mulated by the allied and associated
powers is to be handed to the German
delegates at Versailles Wednesday,.
SignOr Orlando, Italian premier, and
his foreign minister, Baron SOnninO,
have returned to Paris from Rome,
where they have been since they quit
the peace conference, and there now
seems to be good basis for belief that
the differences between Italy and the
United States, Great Britain and
France will be settled. With the Ital-
ian question settled, almost complete
unanimity of sentiment would prevail
in the peace conference. The ObStable
represented by the protests of the Bel
gians has been surmounted by the Bel
gium crown council having decided
unanimously to sign the treaty, it hav-
ing been pointed out by the head of
the Belgian delegation that the dOcu-
ment gave honorable and satisfactory
terms to Belgium.
With the Italian question settled, al
most complete unanimty of sentiment
would prevail in the peace conference.
The obstacle presented by the protests
of the Belgians has been surmOunted
by the Belgian crown council having
decided unanimously to sign the
treaty, it having been pointed out by
the head of the Belgian delegation that
the document gave honorable and sat-
isfactory terms to Belgium.
China's protest against the award
of Kiao Chau to japan and number
of smaller items are yet under dis
cuSSiOn.
The policy of Japan is to return the
Shantung peninsula in full sovereignty
to China, retaining only the economic
privileges granted Germany and the
right to establish a settlement under
the usual conditions at TsingTao, it
was declared in a statement issued to-
day by Baron Maxine, head of the jap
anese delegation at the peace confer
ence, in explanation of Japan's posi-
tiOn on the Shantung question.
Regarding the railway which is to
become Chino-Japanese joint under
taking, Baron Maxine said the owners
would use special police only to insure
the security of traffic The force
would be composed Of Chinese. Such
Japanese instructors as the railway
directors should select would be ap-
pointed by the Chinese government.

could define. The practical reality Of
that loss one may measure by our
proverbial ignorance of certain saw
ages and oriental races whose poetry

repository of past experience, but to
a degree far greater than we realize

NO ARRESTS AFTER SHUTDOWN
This Custom Gave One Native Mer-
chant in India Chance to Battle
His Creditors.

1t is the law throughout India that
no native may be arrested after sun
down, one object of the regulation be-
Ing to prevent what is known as da-
coiting, which is a form of brigandage
generally practiced by night. Just be-
fore came away, says a writer in the
Buffalo Express, a local native mer-
chant took advantage Of the law in a
fashion which caused considerable
amusement which it's victim, however,
found difficulty in sharing.
These native merchants do things in
big way and think nothing of drop
ping in casually and placing orders for
goods to the tune Of $4,000, but in
some cases, footing the bill, when it is
presented, is another matter. The mer-
chant in question, who had contract
ed quite a stable debt, proved so re
luctant about settling that eventual Y
the disguised creditors swore out q
warrant for his arrest. AS soon as
the debtor heard, however, that a war
rant was out he foiled the intention to
arrest him by the simple eXpedient of
staying at home all day until after sun
down. And then, by way of rubbing it
in on his creditors, he had carriage
and pair brought round and spent the
rest of the evening in driving back and
forth in front of the house of the baf-
fed and enraged creditor. 1t was i'm
possible to break into his place and
arrest him, because the law does not
permit such a course to be followed
In the case of debt. And ali through
the day the creditor, if he cared to
look out of his upper windows, could
see his annoying debtor sitting calm
ly in his garden smoking his pipe and
beguiling himself in other exasperat-
ing fashions. He could, as a matter of
fact, have paid at any time, fer he was
one of the richest men in the ne1ghbor-
hood, but he just obstinately wouldn't,
nor did he until soUle weeks afterward,
when he wanted to make a journey
and had to start By day. Then he sent
his agent around with the money, and
thus closed the incident

An Isolated Island.

The last and most isolated Of the
Polynesians is Easter island. 1t Hes
1000 miles westward Of the coast Of
Chile, it's nearest neighbor being Pit
cairn island, 1,400 miles further west
II Is small only 45 square miles in
area, and volcanic, the surface being
formed of lava Of comparatively re-
cent eruption. Hence the strange lack
of vegetation so curiously at var1-
ance with a tropical climate. Grass
grows on 1t, however, and it is for that
reason largely given up to the raising
Of sheep and cattle.
Easter island was discovered nearly
two hundred years ago by the Dutch
admiral Roggeveen, who cast anchor
there on an Easter Sunday, whence II
derived it's name. He found 1t more
largely populated than it is now. But
he and his crew must have seen and
marveled at it's bold rock-sculpture, Its
terraces ard walls. It's picture writ
ings. Many of these. indeed, rival the
world-famous relics of Mexico and
Peru, while they are strangely akin to
them In conception and design.

married him. After several years of
matrimony she died, leaving him with
two little girls. AS soon as propriety
permitted he betook himself to his
spinster neighbours, and, according to
local tradition, spoke thus:
'It is borne in upon me, Sarah, that
thee would make an excellent wife,"
