WORLDS EYE
0NITALY FOR
RAY OF HOPE
Orlando Home, Watches
on for First Sign of
Reconciliation.

Paris. April 26.-The arrival
of Premier Orlando in Rome is
announced in an official tele-
phone message from the Italian
capital. lie was received en-
Enthusiastically.
The peace conference is watch
ing with intense interest the re-
suit of today's developments in
Rome. where Premier Orlando ar
rived this morning, and where the
events Of the day are expected to
disclose whether the hopes Of rec
oncilliation can be realized.
reports received here from the
American embassy in Rome are
somewhat ominous as to the gen
eral state of public feeling there,
as crowds have been parading the
streets crying, Down with the
Americans" and Down with the
English" and "Vivi Sonnino!" the
foreign minister who out-did Pre-
mier Orlando in pressing the ex-
treme demands made by italy IN
der the secret treaty of London.
Reports Disturbing.
These reports are particularly
disturbing. as the American and
British delegates to the peace con-
ference are said to have had rea-
son to believe that Premier Orlando
might adopt course before the
Italian parliament which would
lead to an amicable adjustment
Premier Lloyd George was partic-
ularly hopeful that this result
would be brought about.
The reports of the popular agi
tation at Rome and many other
Italian Centers, however, have led
to fears that the Italian prime
minister's attitude may be swept
away in an outburst of feeling by
the popuIace which will insist on
demands far beyond those the
council of the powers of President
Wilson Will feel them able to ac-
cept.
Goes Before Parliament Monday.
Premier Orlando and his col
leagues on the Italian uGLGBdLlOA
to the peace conference will app Ear
before the Italian parliament Mon
day next, April IS, according to the
Petit Parisen. The newspaper says:
We are able to affirm that what
ever the outcome is OF this session
of the Italian parliament the pre-
mier and his fellow delegates viii
Immediately start for Paris and
the Italian delegation viii be full
strength at Versailles on May L
Now Personal Issue.
The territorial issue now is felt
to lie ltss important than the per
scla. issue which the Italian pre-
micr has raised by mis- plan for go
ing before parliament and asking
for a vote Of confdepCe. Should
this be given, it is thought in ltal-
ian quarters that it would renew
the allan issue before the council
in a more pronounced form than
either President Wilson or the
council as a whole has thus far
btea willing to admit. Should i
not he given. the probable result
would be cabinet chang -s, bringing
a new delegation with new policy

Wilson's Action is
Endorsed.

Washington. April 26.-"Ihe
Italian situation in the peace
negotiations is clearing rapid
Iy," according TO adViceS from
Paris received today at the
White House.
1t was stated that the action
taken by President Wilson was in
dorsed everywhere" Just what de-
velopments were taking place was
not disclosed but It was evident
that as a result of the message, the
tension which has prevailed in AL
ministration quarters for the past
three days was considerably relax
ed.
|. Secretary Lane today issued a
brief statement explaining, as ne
said. "one or two matters connected
with the F'iume situation that
should not be overlooked" He SAID ::
Plume was not to be given 10
Italy by the secret treaty made on
Italy's entrance into the war, called
the London treaty Under this treaty
Fiume was to go to Croatia which is
now a part of Jugo-Slavia- And this
is where President Wilson wishes
it to go now.
Question Of Judgment.
"The question of giving F'iume 10
Italy thus becomes a question OF
good judgment and President Will
son and Premiers Lloyd George and
Clemenceau unitedly concluded that
to give Fiume to Italy would be un-
just to the new republics east OF the
Adriatic, as Fiume is the only port
on the eastern side of the Adriatic
which can be serviceable as a sea
entrance to Jugo-Slavia and adjoin-
ing countries.
"The Italian claim is based on
Italian desire. not on any right 9TH
er than the claim that as its people
are Italians they should become a
part of Italy as they were hundred
years ago. But to crafty this desire
now would be manifestly to wrong
others and thus maintain a sore
spot on the Adriatic which would
cause constant irritation. Italy, with
Venice and Trieste, can live happily
and independently without Fiume
while the young republic on the
east of the Adriatic could not have
a free life without access directly to
the world by water"

Reformed church on Friday evening. No.
vember 2lst, by Mrs. P. E. Heimer, of
Thurmont, Md, formerly of New Oxford,

audience and the entertainment given.
Mrs. Heimer held the audience spell
bound for two hours. Her reading of
Shakespeare was very interesting and in
structive. New Oxford was fortunate in
being favored with such a fine entertain
ment. The audience was unanimous in
asking Mrs Heimer to come again.
Mrs. Heimer began her program with
few humorous readings, after which
she rendered Julius Caesar" in four
acts. Her Interpretation and execution
of this classic play of Shakespeare was
very fine. The members avail themselves
of the opportunity to thank the enter
tainers for the splendid service which
was donation to st. Paul's church.
