BELIEVE BREACH PASSED
PARIS, April pa distinctly more
hopeful and less irreconcilable feeling
prevailed at Italian headquarters to-
day. No longer was there talk of
breach with the peace conference, but
instead it was said:
"All may be settled within fort
night. Premier Orlando has gone to
Rome to consult parliament. There
after we shall see."
Open Session Monday.
A plenary session Of the peace con-
ference will be held Monday to con-
slider the revised draft Of tho league
OF nations covenant and also such por-
tions Of the peace treaty as may be
completed by that time.
The session will be opened to the
public. 1t is understood that If the
covenant is approved it will immedi-
ately be made public.
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George and President Wilson it is an
nounced, will meet in conference at
4 o'clock this afternoon. The topics
to be discussed at the meeting are not
known.
Feeling High in Italy
Although Premier Orlando has left
Paris with two other members Of the
Italian delegation to the peace con-
ference, In protest against President
Wilson's action in making public
statement on the Adriatic question
the latest Paris advices do not give
the view that the move means a ces-
sation of Italy's participation in the
conference. Italy, II all her delegates
leave Paris, will be represented At
the conference by Great Britain and
France.
Meanwhile, the Italian people to
whom Premier Orlando is returning,
appear from the Rome advices re-
ceived. to be standing determinedly
behind her delegates at the confer
ence. Demonstrations were held yes
terday and last night in Rome and 1t
; is reported that In all the larger towns
of the kingdom there have been pa
rades in which the people have shown
their approval OF Premier Orlando's
stand.
Feeling is running high throughout
the country, according to the reports,
and dispatches state that Great Britain
shares with President Wilson the con-
demnation of the Italian people. The
slogan, Plume or Death" is said to
have been adopted. Whether Italy
will occupy the disputed territories OF
Dalmatia and Fiume with troops, as
| II was indicated yesterday she might
do, is as yet not definitely known.
