PARIS, April 25.-Although Premier
Orlando left Paris last night for Rome,
he remains in touch with the Peace
Conference not only through the other
members OF the Italian mission who
remain here but also directly by wire.
Premier Lloyd George received a mes
sage from him to-day, but It was not
made public. Altogether the outlook
Is regarded as distinctly better than II
was last night and the prospect
Of satisfactory adjustment Is much
brighter. Baron Sonnino, the Italian
Foreign Minister, and a former Pre-
mier. Salandra, will leave here for
Rome tomorrow.
While the American delegates ex-
pressed regret over the temporary
break with the Italians. they appar-
entity were confident to-day that some
settlement would be effected when Pre-
mier Orlando conferred with the Ital-
Ian Parliament.
The general opinion in American
circles is that the making Of peace will
be somewhat delayed by the Italian In
/ cldent. There is no hint. however,
! that President Wilson will yield In the
slightest concerning Fiume. and In the
opinion OF the Americans an agree
ment can only be reached by change
| in the Italian attitude.
Two Weeks Delay Forecast.
Al italian headquarters to-day there
was no longer talk of a breach with
the Peace Conference, but instead It
