ORLANDO TO PUT F|UME
ISSUE UP TO PEOPLE
italians Will Give Ground, Other
Delegates Believe, Permitting
Renewal of Peace Conference

Paris-Failure of eleventil,hour eff
| forts to reconcile the differences over
the Italian claims resulted in the de-
parture from Paris of Premier Orlair
do and Delegate Barzilai Of the Italian
mission. Foreign Minister Sonnino
and Former Premier Salandra follows.
Gen. Diaz has gone, to do whatever
| may be necessary from a military
standpoint.
Premier Orlando left the Hotel Ed
ward VII amid scenes, on the part
of the Italians, Of wild enthusiasm,
which narrowly escaped the proper
tions of q riot because of arguments
between the Italian military police and
French bystanders.
The premier said that President Will
sons statement left him no choice as
to his course, and he would accept the
challenge Of laying the issue before
the italian people.
His departure followed a session Of
two hours, arranged by Premier Lloyd
George, attended by President Wilson,
Premiers Orlando, Clemenceau and
Lloyd George, Mr.. Balfour and Foreign
Minister Sonnino, which was held at
Mr.. Lloyd Georges home.
The Italians had not participated In
the conference for ninety-six hours, and
said they would take no further part
in it until so instructed by their pre-
mier.
British Still Hopeful.
Paris affects to. believe the Italians
are merely making a gesture for ef-
feet in Rome, and the British delegates
go so far as to say they have not real
ly abandoned the conference. AS
against this view, an official statement
was made by the Italian mission that
Italy has definitely Withdrawn from
the peace session and will remain out
pending action in Rome.
Premier Orlando will convene par
lament Immediately, and ask for a
new mandate. Non-Italian delegates
in Paris profess to believe solution
will be found whereby Italy will abate
her claims. This view is combated
by Italians, who say the matter has
become one Of national honor, and that
instead of recession Of claims 1t
is more likely they will be accentuated,
in which event Foreign Minister Son
nino will be asked to head the govern
ment, since he has been as adamant
in his position regarding Fiume and
the Dalmatian littoral.

TRAINING A JOY MAKER
Training With the Federal Board for
Vocational Education Makes a
Man Happy as Well as Useful

WASHINGTON, July ga young
Belgian, formerly a waiter in New
York Hotel lost his left arm due to
an injury received while in the SER
vice at the Panama Canal. Return
ing to this country he had the greater
misfortune of losing his young wife
during the epidemic of influenza. In
a state of deep depression he was
found by agents of the Federal Board
for Vocational Education. Destitute
of both funds and friends the district
vocational officer played the part Of
brother to him. Because of an ad-
mitted fondness for flowers and gar
dening, the government agent saw a
future for him. He took the young
soldier to the Agricultural school at
Farmingdale, l.. l., where the kind
ness of those in charge, the possibi-
lities for profitable employment after
the course of training decided him to
stay at the school and take the studies
necessary to fit him for superin-
tendent of a country place. This
young Belgian, appreciative of the
benefits he is receiving, has taken out
his final citizenship papers, and is
happy in his work.
According to the records of the
Board the right kind of work is prov
ing balm for all sorts of hurts both
physical and mental.

THE FAIR SEX
AND THE BATTERY

Leave it to a woman to take care

Willard Service Station Dealer. 81
found out long time ago that when
the woman of the family drives and
takes a real interest in Il car, 1t not
only looks better, but runs better
too" ~
"Take the battery, for example.
1t is as hard to make the average
man remember to put in distilled
water every two weeks as it would be
to make him remember to water
plants. But when a woman once UNI
derstands that battery needs water
just as much as plants do, she's
pretty sure to remember to put it in"
"Another thing that counts is this;
a woman driver as a usual thing isn't
satisfied unless her car works per-
fcctly, and if her battery isn't up to
the scratch she wants to know why.
AS a general rule she does what every
car owner ought to do, and drives
around to have US locate the trouble
and put the battery in Al shape"
