Says Balkan Countries Must
Have An Outlet Into Medi-
terranean Sea Through
the Port at FiUIne
ITALIAN DELEGATION REPORTED OUT.
Omitted Press Service,

PARIS, April 23.-Today President
Wilson made formal statement de-
claring that in making decision on
the Italian claims the United States
must stand by the principles it has
already enunciated, and he declared
that there cannot be made a new sci
of principles for the Balkans.
Mr.. Wilson said that Fiume cannot
be given to Italy for the reason that
it must be made available as a see=
port for the small nations behind IT.
He pointed to the fact that now con-
ditions are different from those ex-
listing at the time the pact of Lon
don was signed, in 1917. Austria
Hungary has disintegrated, and new
Balkan States have been formed ouj
of a part of the territory they EN-
braced.
Furthermore, Mr.. Wilson declared
that the Conference must abide by
the fourteen points" made so clear
at the time they were formulated
and expressly included in his accept
ance of the German application for
an armistice, and in the terms of the
armistice itself.
"To assign Fiume to Italy," said
the President, "would be to create a
feeling that we had put a port on
which the Balkan countries depend
chiefly for access to the Meditelran-
can, into the hands of a power, of
which those nations, so seriously af-
fected, do not form an integral part,
and whose sovereignty must newt
ably seem foreign, and not domestic.
The fear of aggression existing at
the. time of the signing of the London
pact exists no longer"

Veterans at the Fair.

Mr.. John +. Adair. in conversation
with Il Banner reporter one day this
week. suggested that the RoSsier Par
iSh young men who have returned
from the Army be asked to he careful
with their uniforms and keep them
lookin. as nice as possible. as he and
others favor Il parade of the returned
soldiers to take place at the coming
Parish Fair. to he held in BOssier City
during October.
Also. Mr.. Adair thinks this idea
should be taken up by the State Fair
management and that a great parade
of returned heroes he scheduled as one
of the features this fall.
The idea is certainly good one for
RoSSier Parish and for the state at
large. too. Such parade would be
the greatest drawing card Oh the pro-
gram 1t would he the first parish and
state reunions. Anybody-everykod
would like to see the young veterans
march. Some of them have been
through campaigns in France and Ger
many. All of them have done their
duty. ard their friends would certainly
enjoy seeing them march together at
the first opportunity for II reunion.

so many .rumorS that day. About that
time the Adjutant came .galloping'
down the road and announced that the
;lrmiStice was officially signed and that
we would remain there until given
further orders. You wonder how we
celebrated.
Our old steel helmets went flying
into the air as high as we could throw

cheered like IL bunch Of school kids

was SO much nicer. Also, we were able

it gives ne the headache" to think
of it. The explosion from the torpedo
that struck the ship Moldavia OH May

off our feet. Such excitement l never
