PARIS, April 21.-The Italian head
quarters in the last few days have
presented a discouraged appearance
which yesterday developed into nerv-
Gus excitement under the strain OF the
uncertainty. The Italian representa-
tives to the peace conference have ap-
parently. burned their bridges behind
them. They have repeatedly declared
that if they did not receive conces-
sions corresponding to their claims on
the Adriatic they would withdraw
from the conference. AS the confer
ence approaches a decision 1t is difh-
cult to see how the Italians can avoid
making good their threat in case OF

RIGA IN THE HANDS
OF ATR0C|OUS MOB

BERLIN. Germany. April Is.-The
Russian city of Riga, which at pres
ent has a population OF about ESQ, 900
is in the hands of a mob of armed
men and women who are committing
fr;ghtful atrocities against the rest
of the Inhabitants.
That was the amazing statement
made to me today by Baron de Ropp
a member of the Lithuanian national
council, who has just arrived in Ber-
lin. The story told me by the baron
is this:
Some few weeks ago, when the
troops composed of Let's and Baltes
captured Mitau on the opposite side
of the river from Riga, the bolshevist
forces then holding Riga evacuated
the city. Before leaving. however.
they drove all the men from the town
with the exception of those known
to be bolshevist supporters.
Murder and Looting Rampant.
They armed the proletariat mob.
which consists mostly of worlen.
Since then. the baron says, the town
has seethed with murder. looting and
every form of outrage. The bolsher-
lists left he town barren of food. and
1t became case of every one for
HiifiSelI. uS result, dctOrulnB TO tne

Wants Full Concessions.

AS is we'll known. Baron Sonnlno
insists on full concessions for Italian
aspirations in the Adriatic. Up to a
few days ago it was thought the 1tal-
ian representatives would be willing
to concede the Dalmatian coast to the
Jugoslays in return for Fiume. That
illusion seems to be shattered 1 am
informed that in Saturdays confer
ence, while discussing Fiume, MI
Wilson proposed to open the question
of the treaty of London. which gave
Italy Trieste with the Dalmatian
coast. but not Fiume. Baron Sonnino
is said to have answered that il the
question of Dalmatia be opened he
would insist on bringing up the whole
matter of the control Of the Adriatic,
and demand for Italy Spalato, as we'll
as lara and Sebenico.
Threat to Leave Paris.
Therefore on Easter Sunday the
big four extended the discussion from
Fiume to the whole of the Adriatic,
and, according to the Italian view.
the question must be settled within
the next few days. If they are not
given both F'iume and the Delmatian
coast the Italians positively assert
that they will leave Paris. Even the
Italian Journalists have voted to
abandon the conference if the dele
gates leave. 1t is said that Mr.. Will
son proposed to open the Dalmatian
question to induce Baron Sonnino to
make concessions to the Jugoslavs in
that region in exchange for granting
Fiume to the Italians.

retary Daniels took a ride on buck

while he was visiting the Fortress OF

ment of Heavy Field Artillery is
ouartered. After inspecting the motor
repair shop and admiring the Rhine
scenery the party was taken to the
parade ground TO see the tractor
