Cloud Is Lifting

PARIS, April S0.-(By the Associated Press) There is a slight rift in the Italian cloud, which gives hope of the clearing of the difficulties that have arisen in the peace conference over the Adriatic problem. Overtures for the assumptions Of relations have not come thus far from either direction, but there are intimations from Rome that overtures from Paris would not be un- acceptable, and would receive every at tention.
 The prevailing sentiment among the delegates. including several of the American delegation. is against solicit ing a return of the Italian representa- tiyes and it was at first believed that President Wilson shared this view. Those nearest the president, however, sserted that if Italy is disposed to re- Iinulish F.iume and accept the com- promise the president suggested. he could, doubtless, in the interest of har- monv, make such friendly suggestions ! as would permit the resumption of re- lations by the Italians without any sac rifice of dignity or self-esteem.
 Fear Dignity Involved
 These personal susceptibilties are felt | to be more of an obstacle at present than the territorial merits of the case While popular sentiment in Italy still insists on holding Plume, the recent Of | ficial attitude has been less inslstenl and apparently tends toward accept ance of one of the various plans pro posed by the council of three. whereby 1 Fiume would be internationallzed and | some Dalmation outposts given to Italy i It is the declared purpose of the council, as well as President wilson l not to yield on Plume, even if the peace l treaty is signed without ltaly's partlci- nation. But. should the recent otIlcia
 tendencies at Rome take the definite | form of acceptance of compromise inc presidents friends say they are sure 1 that no feeling of pride will restrair him from taking steps which VIII 1uiis restore the Italian delegation to us i former status in the conference

Roach co.
High School Lecture Course
High School Auditorium, Wednesday, March 10Th
Roach-Freeman Co.

The last number OF our Lecture
Course will be held Wednesday,
March 26th at the High School
Auditorium.
The ROACH-FREEhAN COM
PANY will appear here and give a
varied program composed of Read
ings, representations and Musical
Selections. Their Violin, Banjo and
Piano. Numbers add much to the
interest of this program.
Ada Roach has been ranked as
one of the foremost entertainers on
the Lyceum. When she smiles ev
cry countenance is lighted up, when
she sings every heart sings with her;
her unvarying good humor is infec-
tious. Before the program is half
completed some slight gesture Of
her hand is sufficient to send the
audience into gales of laughter.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1919-03-20

Ruth Freeman wins her popular
ity as an entertainer in quite a
different style than Ada Roach.
One scarcely knows which is more
enjoyable, her dialect numbers or
her unusual artistry on the violin,
giving some unusual compositions
of her own.
The program is not all devoted
to fun, however as it has enough of
the serious side to make good bal
anced program and making it in
teresting for old and young alike.
This is the last number of the
Course and the last chance you will
have to see anything of this kind,
so everyone come out.
