BIC FOUR MEETS
IN WILSON HOME
NEAR SICK ROOM
Decide Delegations Should
Turn in Complete Treaty
Subjects to Committee.
BY FRED 5. FERGUSON.

BY United Press
PARIS, April 5.-The big four
resumed its sessions today in a room
adjoining that occupied by Pres't
Wilson in the Paris white house"
The president. who is suffering
from "a severe cold, was still con-
fined 10 his bed by Rear Admiral
Grayson's orders. Col. House repre-
sented him on the big four" which
held its meeting in the presidents
residence in the interests Of eco
nOmy Of time His colleagues the
DRY was that if any points came up
on which his advice was needed, he
could be easily consulted.
A new resolution adopted by the
big four became effective today.
This provides that all delegations
shall turn in completed subjects in
tended for incorporation in the
peace treaty to the central COM
mittee. Premier Clemenceau in
struCted the French 10 follow this
course which the others already had
embraced. so that the framework of
the treaty shall be constantly I'M
der construction.
Announce Threat To- Withdraw.
Italian agents furnished a diver
sion to the usual routine yesterday
by scampering over Paris and max
ing sure that everybody knew the
Italian delegation would go home
Monday unless they got Fiume. This
fact compels the statement that the
Italians were the only ones excited
by the announcement
II is also a fact that the dele
gates have been thoroughly inn
pressed with the idea that Italy
must have Fiume, the alternatives
named ranging from overthrow of
the Orlando government to outright
revolution.
1t can be stated on high authority,
however. that no one in a real po-
sition to speak ever told the "big
ten" the big four" or any other
body of delegates that the Italians
would withdraw from the confer
ence. In the past it has been point
ed out that Italy is hardly in a
sufficiently independent economic
and financial condition to withdraw
and that such a course could scarce
ly be regarded as polite.
There is no doubt the Italians
regard the Fiume question very ser
iously. They emphasize the fact that
2S, 900 of the city's $4,000 inhabi-
tants are Italians. They also refuse
to negotiate in any way with the
Jugo- SIavs, still regarding them as
enemies

Mr.. GLASS ENDORSES
VICTORY MEMORIAL PLAN
Says Besides Being Tribute to
Valor Of Men It Has Great
Unitarian Value.

Secretary Glass has addressed a
communication to the officers and en-

commencing the proposed erection Of
a national victory memorial building
in Washington. funds for which are
now being solicited.
I'm addition to paying tribute to
the valor of the men who fought for
American democracy and those who
fought for universal democracy, the
project possesses great utilitarian
value. in that it is designed to pro-
vide auditorium facilities for public
functions in the capital of the nation.
ut is worthy of commentator. and
I suggest that those who are inter-

NO FULL DAY SATURDAY
Law Prevents Federal Clerks Here
From Having Consecutive
Three-Day Vacation.

An erroneous impression seems to
prevail in certain quarters that some
of the bureaus of the government de-
partments worked all day last Satur-
day and will be closed all day next
Saturday.
Such an arrangement was suggest
ed to Chief Clerk Scofield of the War
Department in the interest Of num-
Der of employees who desired to get
the benefit of three consecutive holt
days-July 4. and Gin order to
leave town.
The suggestion was turned down,
however, as a violation Of the law
which requires government employees
to work seven hours day except
on Sundays and on days declared hol-
idavs by law.
The legal authorities of the gov
eminent have held that Saturday is
a half day holiday only in the District
and, therefore. cannot be made a
full-day holiday without specific leg
isiation to that effect.
SO far as known none of the gov
eminent bureaus omitted the half
day holiday last Saturday or will
have. full-day holiday next Satur-
day.
