Paris, April 30 (by TIE Associated
Press The ftauan tsstte over the
Adriatic has reached an acute stage,
| where a decision one way or the other
cannot longer be deferred and a de-
cision either way is fraught with
serious consequences.
The council of four today continued
lis sessions at the White House"
Inc Italian premier Nittorio Orlando
and the Italian foreign minister
Baron Sonnino, were both present and
made 1t known that the opening of
the Italian parliament on Wednesday
has necesstated their leaving Paris
Monday with definite knowledge of
what is going to be done
Baron Sonnino continued to occupy
the extreme position, insisting upon
the integral fulfillment of the secret
treaty of London giving to Italy the
entire Dalmat!an coast and the is
lands and also claiming the city of
Flume without Observation-Disclosures or
division with the Jugo-Slavs
Orlando More Reasonable.
Premier Orlando was rather more
concIliating, though a telegram which
he had received from the head of the
Italian army declared that the entire
army was behind him in upholdng
Italy's aspirations
Captain Tozzi, of Premier Orlando's
staff said the telegram was in effect
an ultimatum and disclosed how uni
Versal and deep-rootei was the
Italian determination to secure ade-
puate protection on the eastern Adri-
attic coast. He added that If these
rights were not recognized Italy would
undoubtedly adopt her own course,
without reference to the conference
and occupy the regions to which she
considered herself entitled
president Wilson's position was said
to be equally determined against any
recognition OF the secret treaty OF
London Reports of a compromise
on the basis of the Italians getting the
Italian quarters of Fiume and the
Jugo- -SlaNs getting their districts were
not confirmed, and It was said that
this twas the plan put forward to the
Italians but not accepted. But early
reports indicated that the session
might be prolonged through the day
in an effort to reach a middle ground.

The thited States and Great Britain
have given the French as security
against renewed German attacks con-
tinues to be the foremost topic in the
French press, The French repre-
sontatives maintain that the guaran-
tee takes the form of an alliance. The
Nfatin says:
This alliance has already been
drawn in the form of very brief
text stipulating that the three powers
will give each other mutual support il
ie,many attacks us aga.n. The sig
nature of the stipulation will occur at
The same time as the signing of the
treaty"
The American officials withheld all
comment on these reports Ii ls
known, however that number of
proposals have been brought forward
designed to give more prompt and
more effective guarantee of military
assistance to the French than the
easue OF nations affords But none
)f these proposals had been accepted
up to forty-eight hours ago.
President Wilson'S contention has
'eeu that the league was enough
guarantee in line with his speech be-
fore plenary session of the confer
ence when he said That is definita
guarantee of peace; it is a definite
guarantee by the world against ag-

against the thing which has just
