SITUATION GRAVE

by the Associated PresS).
Italy will withdraw her delegates
from the peace conference This is
the answer of Premier Orlando to
the statement of President Wilson.
A military member Of the Italian
delegation declares that Italy has
prepared to move 200 900 men into
the territory east Of the Adriatic.
Half of this number would occupy
the northern Dalmation region and
the vicinity of Fiume. The other
troops would take possession of the
Dalmatian and Adriatic territory,
given Italy in the London treaty
The Italian delegation is support
ed in its attitude by King Victor
Emmanuel who urges no recession
from its standpoint The whole
question will be hid before the
Italian parliament which will he

enceau continue their efforts to pre-
vent a complete rupture, which ap.
peared certain by today's develop
ments. The premiers have not yet
answered the letter of Premier or.
lando asking if they thought it
would be useful for the Italians to
participate further in the confer.
ence.
President Wilson and the French
and British premiers held heir usual
forenoon meeting today. What was
to be discussed was not made
known.
Reports are current in Paris that
should the Italian break become def.
mite Italy might seek a separate
peace with Germany
Although Premier Orlando of It..
ally announced AZ Paris last night
that the Italian delegation would
Withdraw from the peace conference
and leave Paris at o'clock today.
il is understood that France and
Great Britain will make another er-
fort to prevent an open break at the
peace table Hope is expressed in
dispatches that some way still may
be found to adjust the situation so
that Italy will not quit the confer
ence.
From statements made by Pre-
mier Orlando last night, It seems
that he considered the publication
of President Wilson's statement rel
ative to Fiume as premature. In
talk with Italian correspondents.
he said that the presidents decla.
ratlon that Italy should not have
Fiume came "at a moment when
the Italian delegation was making
supreme effort to arrive at u set
tlemeut."
In a letter dispatched later ia
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
Clemenceau. the Italians declared
it impossible to continue to partici
pate usefully in the conference.
The situation which has arisen by
reason Of Italys unyleldng atti
tude and MIR Wilson'S public state
ment is admittedly grave. Premier
Orlando has sent report Of tn,
incident to the Italian parliamcu
and is quoted as declaring that IN,

French embassies were guarded b,

clared that President Wilson's state
ment had the approval Of Premier
Lloyd George and Clemenceau.

delegation at Versailles has bee
