 Rome, April 26.-Premer Orlando, in addressing the crowd which gretted him here, said:
 'It is no time for fine language. In the face of the world, which is judging us, we must have firmness and a calm, serene conscience.
 There are two questions. The first is whether the government and the Italian delegates have faithfully interpreted the thoughts and will of the Italian people, The response was thunderous shouts of yes
 T never doubted it" continued the premier, flor I know the soul of my people, but confirmation was required. The first question is answered. Rome is consecrating our work
 ''The second question is to estimate the gravity of the situation. But I do not ask you for an immediate reply. Let us not now consider what best or most desirable can happen to our Italy, whose Voked the admiration of two worlds Cheers and cries, Long live America: down with Wilson.')
 We must show that we have taken the worst into consideration. After years of unspeakable D rivations and sacrifices, we find ourselves faced with fresh sacrifices and privations. At this moment, Italy is icdaS, dHu Slcdtcl tudH NcI-SESdlCI than in May, 1915.
 'sThe decision must be we'll considered one. Food supplies are failing us, but Italy, which has known hunger, has never known dishonor. I do not conceal from you the danger of this very critical hour. ,(Cries of i've will face anything.)

 T am with you," continued the pre- m:er, "a brother among brothers and also chief who asks to obey and follow the will of the people. It may be that we shall find ourselves alone, but Italy must be united and have a single will. Italy will not perish.
 At the close of his address the premier was given an ovation. General Diaz and Signor Barzilai. of the peace delegates, then spoke and were cheered by the sol diers and sailors.
 Prince Colonna, mayor of Rome, assert ed there was complete solidarity of the people of Rome and of Italy with the government.

BRITISH APPROVE

Beside this initialed approval of the British and~ French premiers, another written document exists which was prepared immediately after the issu- ance of the presidents statement. with a view to expressing approval and support from the highest British of fcial quarters. This is not from Lloyd George, but from one able to speak with authority on foreign affairs. It is devoted chiefly to Plume, examining the question at length and concluding against the Italian position and in sup port of the president.
 It is significant that the name of Italy has been included in the final draft of the peace treaty. indicating the allies hold no change in Italy's status as sfgnatory of the treaty. The preamble as drafted contains a full list of allied powers which made war against Germany, with the names of the plenipotentiaries. It is in this last Italy figures with complete list of the five plenipotentiaries headed by Premier Orlando.

EQUAL GERMAN RECORD

Capt. Noble E. Irwin, director of naval aviation. said tonight the record made by Commander Crows plane had only once been exceeded by heavier than-air machine. German airplans having remained in the air for longer period just before the great war began. The previous record for American naval seaplanes was about 10 hours. it was said.
 Captain Irwin declared frequent eff forts are made by naval aviators to better the navy endurance records and that the flight of this machine had n particular reference to the trans-At- lantic flight.
 Officials still maintained tonight the route of the transatlantic flight had not been definitely decided upon, but in some quarters belief was expressed the seaplane fleet would fly direct tc Ireland. This route is several hundred miles longer than the direct one Naval orders published today dis closed that Lieut.. Walter Hinton, now attached to the air station at Rock away Beach.

Correspondence between the Postmas' ter General and the chairman Of the operations board of the company, is shown in the matter given out at thd Montgomery office.
 The official statement from Atlanta yerifjes the forecast, following the re- ceipt of telegram from the Postmas- ter General, sent by the Montgomsry bureau of The Age Herald several days ago and which was denied in many guar ters.
 MOBILE HARDEST HIT
 Mobile is struck harder blow, go far as increases is concerned, than any other of the larger towns The table of the company shows there are 5601 telephones in Mobile, the rate in effect now being $4 for business ana $250 for residence service. This IS the rate for what is termed one party phones. The new rate will be $330 for business and $3.25 for residence service.
 Montgomery's new rate will be $o.ef for business, as compared with $5 now charge ed, and $3.50 as compared with $s now charged for residence.
 The new schedule eliminates what is known as the zone system now Tn vogue in Birmingham. Rates are made equal and each caller to Bessemer must pay fee of 10 cents.

'SEAP[ANE REMAINS
 IN AIR 20 HOURS;
 MAKES 1250 MILES
Worlds Record Established at Hampton Roads-Ma- chine Averages 60 Miles
 an Hour in Gale
Bv Associafed Press

Washington, April 26.--A naval
 scapIane of the F-5 type, propelled
 by two Liberty motors of 400 horse
 power each and carrying . crew of
 four men, remained in the air at
 the Hampton Roads naval base for
 70 hours and 10 minutes, establish-
 ing what naval officials said tonight
 was a worlds record for seaplanes.
 The machine covered . distance of
 about 125O miles, averaging . little
 more than 60 miles an hour despite
 n gale of from 20 to go miles.
 Twenty hours is the time officers here have estimated will be necessary for the three naval seaplanes to make the transatlantic flight from New foundland to Ireland if direct route finally is decided upon and they said as the machine making the record at Norfolk is much smaller than those to augurs we'll for the success of the at tempt to cross the ocean.
 The distance from Newfoundland to Ireland is slightly more than 1900 miles, but the planes to be taken overseas under Commander John H. Towers are capable of faster speed than those of the Els type Their cruising speed probably will be about 70 miles an hour, although it is admitted this will be governed largely by the direction and velocity of the wind.
 Officers manning the machine which established the new record yesterday were Lieut.. Com. H. B. Grow of the regular navy, and Ensigns H. s. South CT. D. Thomas and R. Irwin of the naval reserve force. So far as could be learned tonight none of these men has been selected for the transatlantic flight.

While work proceeded on the final | details of the treaty before the meet ing with the German delegates at Yer sailles the absorbing topic everywhere was the Italian issue and the effect 1t had in store for the conference. Brief information reaching official quarters showed the situation at Rome to be very tense. with anti-American senti- ment running high.
 The departure of Baron Sonnino and Signor Salandra at o'clock this aft ernoon for Rome took the last of Italy's plenipotentiaries from the scene of the negotiations, leaving only subordinates. without power of action.
 President Wilson joined the Amer -ican delegation at the Hotel De Cril- lon at o'clock for a conference and then returned to the white house" for a renewal of the council with Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd-George.
 It was stated after the American meeting the discussion was on the de- tails of the treaty and that the Ital- ian matter only came up incidentally, as no detailed reports had been re- ceived from the American embassy at Rome and there was no change in the
 
 Experts who attended the meeting of the council yesterday said the mem bers looked "completely worn out but the president today showed no outward evidence of this strain
 All indications point to the fact that Premier yd-George and Premier Clemenceau are standing squarely with the president on the Italian issue, thus presenting united front of the prin- eipal great powers. Further written statements have thus far been with held in order not to inflame Italian sentiment further. But friends of the president took steps today to relieve him from being the sole person to bear the burden. and this may lead to some public declaration of the British and French attitude.
 In the meantime it can be stated
 that President Wilson's copy of his
 Italian declaration bears the ini-
 tiaIs of Clemcnceau and lloyd
 George. The French premier af-,
 fixed his signature last Monday
 and gave his approval for its pub
 lication Tuesday, but the president
