Lloyd George and Clemenceau, II
was said, read and approved wilson's
statement before 1t was given out, but
neither Of them signed 1t. The docu-
ment called attention to the fact that
the treaty Of London gave the Dalma-
tian coast and cities to Italy because
she needed protection against Austro-
Hungary. but that the Austro-Hungar-
Ian empire no longer exists and so the
necessity has passed; that Italy gave
her adherence to the IA points. and
that to give Fiume to her would not
be In accordance with them. The
Italians replied that Wilson already
had compromised some Of those points,
notably In the case of the freedom Of
the seas and the Saar basin, and that
Italy was being Disseminated against.
This really was the crux Of the dis
pute.
Mr.. Wilson may have acted too i'm
petuously and may have violated dip
lomatic courtesy In appealing to the
Italian people over their government,
but II is likely that In the matter of
the disposition Of Fiume he is backed
by the great body OF public opinion In
this country. and probably In Great
Britain and France. The justice of the
claims Of the Jugo-Slavs are generally
recognized, Italy asserts Fiume is an
Italian city, but this is only half a
truth. for large part Of 1t is inhabft-
ed by Croatians.

the bolsheviki be supplied with food
provided hostilities are entirely stop
ped. The loyal Russians have no in
tention or desire to cease their war
fare on the Lenlne-Trotzky forces and
are confident the bolshevists will be
defeated. In this view the Russian rep
resentatives in Paris and Washington
concur. According to the present
plans of the allies. the Omsk govern
ment will be recognized by them soon
after the peace treaty is signed, and In

President Wilson declared fatty last
Wednesday that Italy should not have
Fiume because that outlet to the Adri-
attic was essential to the prosperity OF
the Croatians and other Jugo-Slav
peoples.
Premier Orlando promptly an
nounced the withdrawal Of the italian
delegates from the peace conference
and on Thursday himself left Paris,
his colleagues remaining for the pres
ent In the vicinity of the French capi-
tai. 1--WE do not break with our allies,
but hand over our interests to their
hands trusting they will Loyalty fulfll
their mission" said Orlando.
The seriousness Of the situation was
recognized by all, and France and
Great Britain renewed their efforts to
bring about an agreement The italian
delegates ehdeavored to throw on Mr..
Wilson personally the. blame for the
break. asserting that just before the
president issued his statement they
had received from Clemenceau, Lloyd
George and Wilson proposals that FL
ume should be free port, all the Dali
matian island cities going to Italy and
the hlnterland to Croatia. This plan,
they declared, would have been accept
ed by them with the exception that the
city Of Fiume should be italian and
its port only internationalized. While
their ambassador was on his way with
q reply to this, said the Italians, they
were astounded to read In a Paris
newspaper Mr.. Wilson's statement and
appeal to public opinion in Italy. They
asserted that Mr.. Wilson made a grave
error in diplomatic etiquette and that
nothing was left for them except to
withdraw from the conference.

Germans so soon as had been expect
ed. because of the long task of CON-
pleting the drafting. and as the Ger

as early as former plans contemplated.
The treaty may be presented to them
piecemeal, so that 1t can be signed

would be effective throughout the

be inserted providing that the pact
shall go into effect 60 days after 1t is
