Amicable Solution. Possible.

Peace conference circles were in
clined to believe today that an amtca-
BILE solution of the Italian incident was
in the making.

desire to maintain good relations with
the allies by the fact that the Italian
delegates remaining in Paris will con-
tinue to collaborate in the work OF the
interallied commission not pertain
ing to actual work of the peace con-

Orlando may call the Italian parlia-

may be back in Paris for the open

WHERE ARE THE
 FOX RANCHERS?

The whereabouts of Jack Harris and Grover Gordon, who have been conducting a fox ranch on Wooded Island, in whcih J. B.. Ibach is also an owner, is causing their friends much uneasiness. They took over the fox ranch in May, 1917, and re- turned to Cordova last summer for supplies, leaving here in a large dory Tn September, since which time nothing has been seen or heard of them.
 Yesterday, in returning from a trip 70 Middleton island MT. and Mrs. Ibach put in at Wooded island to visit Messrs. Harris and Gordon Upon their arrival there they found the island deserted, with no signs of habltation. The cabins were empty and had not been occupied for many months, neither was there eny food for the foxes. As storm was coming up, Mir. and Mrs. Ioach did not remain as long as they would like to have, in or der to make more through search Of the island. However, they are firmly convinced that neither of the ranchers are on the island and probably have not been since last summer. The question that wor- ries them is what became of the men. Some friends advance the hteory that they went to Mon tagne to trap, but Mr.. Ibaeh does not think this likely or they would nave returned 10 Wooded island to look after the foxes there. Con- siderable alarm is felt for the safety of the ranchers, and Mr.Ibaeh will leave In a day or two on the launch Swan t9 Cruise the baya of Monta- gue island and also make through search ct Wooded and adjoining is- lands In an effort to find some trace of his partners.
