WASHINGTON, April 25-An Of
fcially made summary Of 5000 word
resume of the chief memorandum, read
to the peace conference by Signor Bar
zllai, on behalf of the Italian delcga-
ton, in which Italy's claims were de-
fined and advocated was obtained here
to-day. 1t reads in part:
"Ihe memorandum begins by cx-
planning that the ltali3n claims are
based on justice and moderation, and
fit absolutely into tho frame work Of
President Wilson's fourteen points,
which werc the basis Of the armisticc.
If ccrtain part Of Italian public
opinion would like to see them to some
slight extent reduced, another part de
mands that they be considerably in
creased.
"Aftcr those predatory remarks the
mem orandum proceeds to state exactly
what Italy does want. Italy went to
war with two aims: The liberation of
her oppressed sons and the attainment
OF safe frontiers by land and sea. Vic
tory has cost her much more than she
expected and She is therefore all the
less likely to repudiate the principles
winch determined her intervention.
Italy States Her Wants
Ihe concrete application Of these
principles might be summed up as the
Alpine frontier, which includes the
Upper Adlgc, the Trentino and Julian
Eenetia ana an Improvement of her
Adratlc position which, without pref
udlclng the legitimate aspirations Of
the new state, Will allow Italy to
escape from the position Of absolute
. lnferiority and danger in which She
hnds herself.
me memorandum proceeds to claim
lhe watershed Of the Julian Aims as
Tar as the Quarnero. Here again pcoo-
rapners Of all lands and ages have indi-
Gated this as the natural Italian from
tier The evidences Of Roman and
venetian culture arc everywhere, and
despite foreign intiltration the popula-
tlon Is mainly Italian IN spirit and Gus
toms.
"Gorizia, Trieste, Fiume Pola. the
CHIEF centres, are, the document con
nhues, Italian not only by their past
but by the great majority of their
present population, as set forth in
Austro-Hungarian official statistics.
The smaller towns are also Italian. as
are the big rural centres, whose eco
HulHlc ana cultural existence Is COM
pletely bound up with that of the
towns.
Seeks Natural Outlets ars .
Gwen # questions Of military safety
and necessary geographical compact
ness are left aside, a compromise from
tier, frontier not based on clear TO-
pography, could not settle the race
conflicts completely or have any eco
nomic solidity. The natural outlets Of
the mountain zones are the Nenetian-
Friulian plain and the Italian ports of
JulIan-Venetia from Trieste to Fiume.
"Ihe memorandum then turns to the
Adratic problem. The frontier of the
julian Alps, including Istria from Pola
to Fiume, reduces but does not elimi-
nate Italian Adriatic inferority. This
can only be eliminated by restoring
to italy an adequate part Of Dalmatia
Conditions have changed and italy can
now limit herself to demanding not
the absolute possession, but the free
dom Of that sea. That is to say, she

Captain CllamberIain's
Cross-Exarnination Ends
Story Sounds Like Fairy Tale.
But Is True. Filler Tells
Army Court

PARIS, April 25.-The cross-exam-
ination of Captain Edmund G. Cham
berlain, the American aviator on trial
before the court martial here, was con-
cluded this afternoon, Chamberlain
having been on the stand two days.
The prosecutor to-day produced a
compass, an instrument similar to that
used on the British camel machines,
and asked Chamberlain to wrench it
from it's bearings, as Chamberlain
claimed he had done with the compass
on the machine in which he was flying
when the reported exploit he carried
out occurred Chamberlain mildly OBJ
jected, saying that the instrument was
loose, while that on the Camel machine
was screwed to wooden board, giving
him more leverage.
Il have wrenched one from a plane
to machine gun bullet music accompa-
niment and am willing to try it here
without music" Chamberlain added
however.
Donald Harper, counsel for the de-
tendant, interprosed an objection here
and was sustained by the court.
The defense To-Day served notice on
the court that if the prosecution in
sisted on removing the trial back to
London the defendant would demand
its return to Paris, where the defense
desires the verdict to be rendered.
This story may read like fairy
tale, but, upon my oath, it is true
said Captain Chamberlain on direct ex-
animation.

U. >. Delegates Oppose
Court to Try War Lords
Insist Tribunals Aircndy in
Existence in Various Coun-
tries Shall Prosecute Them

PARIS, April 25 (By The Associated
Prcss). 1t has become known that the
American delegates have been unable
to agree to certain portions of the re
port adopted by the majority Of the
Commission on Responsibility for the
War, and, as presented to the Council
Of Four, the report contains a memo
randum setting Forth the American
reservations.
The Americans objected to the prin-
ciple that persons accused of Of
fences against "thc laws of human
ity,' should be subjected to criminal
prosecution, contending that the laws
and principles of humanity constitute
standard too uncertain to be rightly
applied in legal proceedings.
The principle that heads Of states
should be liable to criminal prosecution
for breaches of positive law was an
other point on which they failed to
agree with the majority.
Responsible to People
The American belief in this respect
was that the essence of sovereignty lies
the fact that the head of a state
Is Responsible Tor ms illegal acts to
the people from whom he derives his
authority, and not to any foreign SOW
ereignty. This contention, however, was
not held to apply in the case of a head
of state who is abdicated, for any
proceedings against such person
would be against an individual no
loIger embodYing the sovereignty of a
state. Nor does it apply to political
Offences committed by the head of "A
$, te, which may. if deemed cxpediont,
be IN e the subject of judicial action
and punishment.
Oppose High Tribunal
Holding these views. the American
delegates were therefore unable to
concur in the recommendation for the
establishment of IL high tribunal and
a prosecuting commission for the trial
Of criminal cases, as advocated by the
committee. They proposed instead.
that an international committee of in
curry be created to consider the rela-
tive culpability Of the authors of the
war, as we'll as their culpabiity as to

PARIS, April 25.-If the differences
with Italy should make it undesirable
to use Trieste and other Adratic ports
in supplying food to the Jueo- -Slava
and other peoples in Central Europe
the American Food Control Board is
prepared to divert the food from tho
Mediterranean to the ports Of Rotter-
dam, Bremen, Hamburg and Danzg.
From these ports the food would be
sent by rail to the peoples row hejng
supplied through the Adriatic
'At present there are three American
foodships at Trieste, two at Spalato and
another at Messina. Seven or eight
more American ships, with food dcs-
tined for the Adriatc, arc in the
Mediterranean, but are not yet within
Italian waters All che foodships in
Adrlatic ports are manned by Amer
leans. AS yet there have been no dem
onstrations against them, and the food
control officials are not inclined to
pay any attention to small local dis
orders.

America and talked with President

Neither the Cardinal nor the Arch

the real facts of tho matter were,
but each expressed the hope that
an adjustment would be reached so
that Il just and lasting peace would

PARIS, April 25.-Not only the ItaI-
ian question but the destnies of the
world are at stake, and Paris is watch
ing the struggle with feverish eager
ness because of the vast questions
whose solution is involved in the vic
tory Of President Wilson or Premier
Orlando of Italy.
As Europe goes to-day, so goes the
Far East tomorrow, for the F'iume and
Shantung situations ire exactly SINH
lar, and representatives OF all countries
see the Wilson declaration as Il supreme
effort to turn the world in his direction
and are asking tnemsc YES what the
American people wlll allow the Prcsi-
dent to do if the present situation
develops into rupture
Can the Allies make peace without
Italy?
Would America allow President vii
son to make peace alone?
These arc the questions engaging
the Allies, while in American circles
there is a belief that if President Will
son WINS the battle the entire campaign
OF peace viii turn overwhelmingly in
favor of his ideas.
Would Carry Out Pledges
The general British and French at
ttude evidently is a loyal determine
ton to carry out the pact of London,
while strongly insisting that Fiume
was accorded to the Croatians in the
pact, and thus their policy does not
follow the Italians on all territorial
demands made. Importance is at
tachod TO the fact that the military
occupation of Fiumc by the Italians
vas carried out without official sane
ton by the allies, who thus are not
obliged to recognize the Italian claim
thereto by right Of conquest.
Tho only indication contrary to this
general attitude is a statement by Bar
zilai TO "Lc MAtn,' in which he de
scrlbcs an interview with Clcmenceau.
"Hc informed me-" says Barzilai.
that he stood loyalty by the Pact
Of London, and when insisted on ret
ling his attitude on the question Of
fiume he did not conceal the fact
that IN certain circumstances he would
give his support to this claim.'
