PRESIDENT NOW
FACESSUPREME
TEST OF POWER
Hope Expressed in Some Quar-
ters That Compromise May
Be Reached Soon; Japan's
Claims Loom.
BY ROBERT J. BENDER

BY ROBERT J. BENDER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. J
Washington, April 26.-President
Wilson this week faces the su-
preme test of his power at the
peace conference, according to his
friends and diplomats here.
With the allied German peace
meeting only few days off, the
Paris conference is in serious elev-
enth-ho difficulties, for which
the presidents Fiume statement is
held directly responsible.
Although private dispatches TO the
White House today declared the stu
alton is clearing rapidly, diplomatic
quarters and other official centers re-
flected distinct gravity at the general
outlook.
JAPAN CLAIMS UP.
With Japan's claims In China
looming onniously in the back
ground and the cianor of the Ital-
ian, British and French press
growing increasingly anti Wilson,
it is known that the president is
encounterins increasing difficult
ties in holding the allies to his
IA points.
While II has been stated that
Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau have tacitly supported the presi-
dent in his stand toward Italy diplom-
ats here today pointed to the fact that
there has been no official statement
from either the British or French dele
gates confirming this. Italian diplom-
1T. Ill
ence for the league of nations and de-
sire to abide by the pact of London.
The effect of the press outbreak in
the allied countries during the coming
week is awaited here with quite lit
tie anxiety by administration officials
ITALIANS PROTEST.
Both Lloyd George and Clemen
ceau have reversed themselves
frequently at Paris under the
pressure of opinion at home. Both
are now witnessing running fire
to Wilson's statement in the
British and French newspapers.
The Italian press and populace,
according to all reoprts, is regis
tering violent remonstrance at
Wilson's position toward Fiume.
Authorities here pointed today to
the fact that the pressure is largely
against Wilson personally-not so
much against America-and they pro-
fess to see in this the possibility of or
ganized propaganda directed at the
president to weaken his personal po-
sition at the conference.
But Wilson, it Is stated, still
holds the whip hand, with Amert-
cas- ships, wealth and raw mater
ials. 1t is indicated here that he
will not consent to pooling either
United States tonnage or raw ma
terials with the other allies until
he learns definitely what Is to be
the outcome of his peace efforts.
It is the conviction of his friends
here that he will be able to hold
in line the other powers with the
weapons at his command.
Meantime. a general lifting OF the
haze from the peace conference is ex-
pected soon. It Is pointed out here
that the situation cannot endure long
as II no stands. And behind the cloak
of secrecy. officials believe there are
transpiring events that will end the
deadlock in time to prevent a com
plete collapse Of the conference and
result to the benefit to the German
position.

NV YORK, March 22.-The actual
bank statement today showed sur
plus decreased s15.116.97o. loans de-
creased s5s,os6,00o. net demand de-
posits decreased s35.Sss.0o0. and net

The average statement showed sur

creased s31 $4,000. net demand de-
posits increased ss4.522,000 and net
time deposits increased $2,349,0o0.
Stocks developed a reactionary
tendency in the latter part of the
session. following an urgent buy
ing movement which in the first
hour of trading placed many is
sues at new high levels for this
movement and in some instances
the highest quotation in their his
tory.
The outburst of bullish enthu-
siasm which was in progress when
the general market closed on Fri
day reappeared at the opening to-
day. Steel common continued to
be the pivot on which the general
market revolved. Initial transac-
tions were made in this issue at
from SO 3-4 to par. one block of
$4,000 shares changing hands at
the opening.
Except for a sharp break in sterling
exchange, which carried the price
down to a new low level. there were
no unfavorable news developments to
account for the reaction which spread
to all departments. Some effort was
made to attribute the selling move
ment to the unfavorable European sit
uation. but owing to the obscurity of
the news from abroad this was ac-
cepted as an excuse and not a reason.
Railroad shares continued relatively
inactive and failed to reflect the an
nouncement from Washington that the
War Department had loaned the Rail-
road Administration s10o, ,00o. 600 in an
effort to aid the railroads which are
In need Of funds.
Another favorable development was
the report that special session of
Congress would probably be called for
May.
Notwithstanding the outburst of SELL
ing In today's market general sentf-
ment in Wall Street seems to favor
higher prices for stocks.
