ADOPTS
ITALIAN FLAG AS
BANNER OF CITY
Action Cited as Proof of Wish
of Inhabitants to Be
Joined to Italy Un-
der Wilson Policy.

Paris, April 5.1Asked il the Ital-
ians would leave the peace confer
ence if denied Fiume, Salvatore Bar
zilai, one of the Italian peace dele
gates, said today:
mo decision has been reached as
yet, but it is obvious the Italian
delegates feel they must follow the
will of the Italian people"
He declared that the national
council of Fiume had unanimously
adopted law by which the city took
the Italian flag as the banner of the
city.
Signor Barzilai contended that
this was the best proof of Fumes
wishes to be joined to Italy under
the Wilsonian policy of self-deter-
mination, and added that the Italian
people and parliament, without dis
tinction of party, were determined
that Fiume should be part of the
kingdom.
Signor Barzilai said that Fiume
cannot live except as all Italian city,
because it must belong to large
country as it did when part of
Hungary, if its financial prosperity
is to be assured.
Even now Fiume is burdened
with a debt of several million
crowns" he said, land the new Jugo-
Slav state lacks the resources to
keep the city in flourishing condi-
ton"

LEAGUE CHANGES
COMMUNICATED
TO HITCHCOCK
Nebraska Senator Regarded
as Chief Spokesman for
Administration in
Controversy.

New York, April 5.-Changes
which have been made in the cove
nant of the league of nations at
Paris have been cabled from Paris
to Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska,
retiring chairman of the senate for
eign relations committee. The mes
sage was received today by the, sem
ator, but he declined to discuss it
further than to say that he had not
asked the American peace delegates
for the informal ton.
Senator Hitchcock is regarded
generally as the chief spokesman
of the administration in the contro-
versy which has developed in this
country over the league OF nations
plans, and it is understood the pur-
pose of sending the communication
was not only to keep the senator
informed of the progress made in
revising the league constitution, but
also expected to be made.
Senator Hitchcock is to pa-tici-
pate in a joint debate with Senator
Lenroot of Wisconsin, republican,
on the league of nations in New
York next Monday night, and it is
probable that he will use some of
this information in his address.
The communication was said to
be the first relative to the peace con-
ference to be received by any sena-
tor from the American delegates at
Paris.

German Industrial
Life Has Collapsed
Says President Ebert

Zurich, Swift, April 5,-Germany
is not socialistic republic, because
the majority of the people are not
socialists, but Germany is a progress
sive republic, because the majority
of the people desire a strongly pro-
gressive policy, President Ebert is
quoted as saying in statement to a
correspondent of Paris newspaper
whose interview has been tele-
graphed here:
The position of things in Ger
many is very serious" the German
president added. 1--WE are faced
with all kinds of difficulties. Our
industrial life has collapsed COM
pletely and without help Germany
cannot recover her balance. The
number of unemployed increases un-
ceasngly, which is the most seri-
Gus cause of political agitations.
Although many difficulties have
been created for us in the struggle
against bolshevisn, we continue to
do our duty and combat it."

Doesn't Care Where

Oscar Boonstra, 240l North TWEEN
ty-fourth street, is determined to
rent five-room bungalow if it takes
all summer. When he started on his
quest for a house, he was particu-
lar, very particular. He insisted on
a southern exposure, and everything
else according to what his ideals of
a home should be.
AS he wandered around in the
Businesses of the city, he became
convinced that there is scarcity of
vacant houses in Omaha The long
er he looked, the less particular he
became. He wore out two pairs of
$40 shoes and then he sat down on
a park bench to think it over.
A bright idea dawned upon his
cerebral region.
He inserted an inch-ad in The Bee,
stating that he wanted fve-rhom
bungalow within seven or eight
miles of Twenty-fourth and Lake
streets and that he was willing to
pay any reasonable amount, even SIS
or $40 more a month.

PEACE BY EASTER
ADMITTED TO Be
CUTOF QUESTION
Agreement by Next Saturday
and Drafting Of Text Of
Treaty Next Week Is
Latest Paris Dope.

Paris, April 5.-Discussions of the
problems incident to peace con-
tinued today. Colonel House, repre-
senting President Wilson at the
meeting with the premers of
France, Great Britain and Italy.
At the conclusion of todays meet
ing Of the council of four it was
stated that PREPARATIONS had been
considered all day without final re-
suit, but that the progress made was
such as to warrant the belief that an
agreement would be reached by next
Sa turday on all the remaining qusss
tons, including the Rhine frontier,
the Saar valley and reparations. The
following week will be devoted to
drafting the final text of the treaty.
A plenary session has been de-
cided upon for the coming week for
BE consideration of labor questions.
Reparations Stumbling Block.
The Journal points out that even
It the preliminaries are wholly
agreed upon by Easter there re-
mains all the negotiations with Ger
many, which it believes will be at
least as laborious as the pourparlers
between the allied and associated
powers.
The Matin declares that there is a
divergence of opinion in the council
OF tour on the essential point of
reparation, while territorial oues-
tons are in a fair way toward a
satisfactory settlement. On the
question: of reparation, it says, there
IS still gulf between what France
is offered and what she claims is
fairly due her. On that point, the
newspaper adds, the French govern
ment will be immovable because it
cannot sign treaty which will
make France bankrupt"
League Plans Shattered.
Where do we stand in the work
OF pacliication?" asks the Echo de
Paris. It answers the question as
follows.
TT is only too true that the
league of nations lies in pieces on
the floor of the Hotel de Crillon
tAmerican headquarters and the
modest alliance which might with
advantage occupy its place is only
a vague sketch.
The newspaper fears that the
council of four will produce at any
cost some sort of peace formula,
good or bad, which it believes will
be the worst danger.
