would be postponed until Friday.

Reports from Paris and Rome
seem to indicate disposition on
the part of both the council of three
and the Italian government TO
reach some sort of understanding
as to the Fiume question that will
permit the Italian delegates to re
turn to tha conference without loss
of dignity. Conversations between
Premier Orlando and Thomas Mel

took place yesterday at Rome, Mr..
Page later reporting to President
Wilson.
There are reports that the soviet
regime at Munich has been over

that the German government troops
still are some distance away from
the city, although closing in on the
soviet forces.
