sufficient so that no hearing was needed

IntimatiOns from Rome Are That

ngc Return Of italian Delegates
(By the Associated Press)

Intimations have been received in Paris
that overtures for a resumption of the
conferences on the disputed questions
would receive every attention in Rome
and would not be unacceptable but 1t has
been asserted in Paris that the prevailing
sentiment among the delegates of France.
Great Britain and the United States is
opposed to requesting the Italian dele
gates to return.
1t has been added, however, that il the
Italians should evince a disposition to give
up their claims to Fiume and accept Presi-
dent Wilson's suggestions on the contro-
versy, the President. in the interest of
harmony, doubtless could make sugges-
tions which would permit of a continue
ton of the discussions without sacrifice
of dignity by the Italians.
President Wilson and the other mem
bers of. the council are declared to be
unwilling to concede Fiume to the
Italians, even If such refusal should
result in Italy finding herself not able
to sign the peace treaty. Thomas Nell
son Page, American ambassador to
Italy has conferred at length with
Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister
Sonnino and telegraphed a report to
Paris outlining the views of the
Italians and the Italian government
on the situation.
Although reports still persist that
Munich has been completely invested
by government troops, the expected
attack on the Soviet forces apparently
has not begun.

arrived at 3:22, will arrive at 7:Os in the

away with the local service that has been
existing between Concord, NJ H., and

As the years rolled by, the trees
that Burdett LOOMS planted around
the course and near the grand stand
added a park like effect to the
grounds. making them the most
beautiful racing plant in America.

was originally planned, the only
change being widening Of the home
