In the Paris White House.

sented him on the Big Four, which

If any points came up On which his
advice was needed he could be easily

A new resolution adopted by the Big
Four has become effective. This pro-
vides that all delegations shall turn in
complete subjects intended for incor-
poration in the peace treaty to the CEN

Clemenceau instructed the French to
follow this course which the others
already had embraced, so that the
framework of the treaty shall be con-
stantly under construction.
Italians Press Claims.
Italian agents furnished a diversion
to the usual routine by scampering
over Paris and making sure that ev-
erybody knew the Italian delegation
would go home in two days unless
they got Fiume. This fact compels
the statement that the Italians were

have been thoroughly impressed with
the idea that Italy must have Fiume,
the alternatives named ranging from
overthrow of the Orlando government
to outright revolution.
In the past it has been pointed out
that Italy is hardly in sufficiently in
dependent economic and financial con-
dition to withdraw and that such a
course could scarcely be regarded as
polite. There is no doubt the Italians
regard the Fiume question very seri.

$4,000 of the city's $4,000 inhabitants
