The decision of the italian delegation
as reported from Paris, apparently bring,
to head the bitter controversy between
Italy and the new Jugo-Slav state over
the disposition of land along the Adri
attic, formerly belonging to the Anstro
Hungarian empire, which both national
titles claim.
Italy's claim originally included vir,
tually the entire Dalmatian coast, with
Triest and Fiume, which latter city is
the second principal seaport on the east
ern side of the Adriatic. Recent reports
have been that the italian representa-
tives were manifesting disposition to
make important concessions regarding
the land along the Dalmatian coast. pro
vided that the city and harbor of Fiume
remained to Italy. The Jugo-Slavs, how
ever, have been insistent that this port
be allotted to them, claiming it to be es-
sentially Croatian city and necessary
to the new Jugo-Slav state as affording
the only feasible suitable sea outlet for
her commerce.
On the other hand, Italy has shown no
disposition to yield her point so far as
Fiume was concerned. Her attitude was
officially stated by Premier Orlando in
addressing the Italian chamber of depu-
ties on March !, when he declared that
while Italy remained faithful to the
spirit of Cancellation which inspired the
treaty upon which Italy entered the
war; Italy did not maintain that she
should remain insensible to the appeal
reaching her from the Italian town of
the Gulf of Quarnero (Fiume)," which
was exposed to the loss of both its ma
tionality and independence. eve do
not think" added the premier, ''that
this is possible at the very moment when
1T is wished that the world NAV be re-
deemed from memory of violence done
to the right of peoples"
There has been several incidents" at
Fiumo and other points in the territory
claimed by both Italy and Jugo-Slavia.
since the signing of the armistice, and
the feud at one time grew so bitter that
Italy established blockade and cut off
food relief imports for the interior This
matter was adjusted by the supreme
council in Paris, however, and recent re.
ports have indicated that an amicable
settlement of the conflicting Italian
JugoSla claims was possible.
Just what has caused the Italian dele
cation to announce its determination on
the Fiume question at this time has not
been developed in the Paris advices. 1t
is known, however, that the question of
territorial adjustments has been before
the conferences of premiers which have
been taking place during the past day or
two.
An Associated Press dispatch received
last night from Paris, regarding con
ference held yesterday between President
Wilson and Premiers Clemenceau and
Lloyd George, stated that there was ev.
cry reason to believe that the frontier
issues were among the foremost obsta.
cles which the conferees were seeking
to remove from the path to a rapid CON |
clusion Of the peace treaty.
Fiume, before the war, was the chief |
seaport of the Hungarian kingdom. II |
has several harbors and it's position and |
facilities made it the seat of virtually |
the eBtire shipping trade of Hungary. !,

DIAMONDS HIDE IN AMERICA
Gems May One Day Be Mined on q
Large Scale in This Country,
Say Biologists.

Biologists, according to exchanges.
believe that some day diamonds will
be mined on very large scale in the
United States. They are confident
there are valuable diamond mines hid
den under this country, because many
loose diamonds have been found in
various sections. There must be par
ent lode, they say. and this is believed
to be in either the Rocky mountain or
Appalachian range. Regular diamond
chimneys, like those of South Africa,
were found in Arkansas in 1906. They
were filed with periododite, akin to
the famous Kimberlite of South Africa.
A farmer In Indiana, blowing a
gravelly hillside, found the first dia-
mond in America in 1887. More than
20 diamonds have been found in In
diana In the last 20 years, and one
sold for $1,000. Other valuable dia-
monds have been found in Virginia,
North Carolina, Wisconsin. South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama. Louisiana,
Idaho, Texas. Montana, Arizona and
California. A laborer working in an
excavation in Manchester, Va, found
stone weighing 23% karats in 1855.
Numerous stones, weighing from three
to 21ss karats have been found In
Wisconsin.
