many years the head OF the Museum
of Natural History in New York:
Considering the above report by

comments of Mr.. Chapman, it must

That some men are naturally bet
ter fighters than others is doubtless
true, just as it is true that some can
run better or write better poetry. But
can we classify races in the same
way? May we assert that the French
as a people are better fighters than
the British, or vice versa? Good au-
thorites seem to differ. we are told
in The Journal of Heredity wash
inCton). 1t is hard to tell, here as
elsewhere, what abilities are inborn
and what are due to training or edu-
cation. Besides this. we are assured,
no adequate scientific studies have
ever been made on the comparative
fighting ability of different races. The
''warring instinct" or gregarious
group-instinct, is something quite
apart from any desire to fight single
handed. to quarrel with ones neigh
bors, to go about with chip on ones
shoulders, or to start trouble out OF
nothing. The most polite and peace
fui mortals may make the best sol
diers under the stimulus OF group
conflict. The writer goes on:

1t is interesting to learn about

No Break AssuunelI:

Paris, Friday, April 25.-(5:s5 D.:
m.)-(By the Associated Press. y
The peace conference has been Sc
verely shaken by the italian crisis
and the extent to which it's work will
be affected is receiving the anxious
attention of the delegates. The
American storm has broken and the
air has cleared in that quarter, but in
other quarters a less optimistic view
is taken, the feeling being that an
element of confusion has been intro
duced which will result in more or
less delay at the moment the German
delegates are arriving.
In French and Italian circles the
situation is regarded as serious and
some quarters even represent it as
desperate, but this extreme view is
not generally held.
Several of the committees met to-
day with the Italian members present
and the secretariat Of the American
delegation said no notice had been
received of the withdrawal Of Italian
participation. Pending formal ac-
ton. no break in relations would be
assumed, it was added. But the de-
parture Of three OF the Italian dele
gates and announcement Of the de-
parture of Foreign Minister Sonnino
and former Minister Salandra, to oc-
cur Saturday, creates IN anomalous

With the return to Rome today Of
Vittorio Orlando, the Italian premier,
after his dramatic withdrawal from
the peace conference in Paris. the
rapid development Of the attitude
Italy will definitely assume toward
the final peace settlement is expected.
The. italian prime minister, who.
went from Paris prepared to lay his
work at .the conference before the
Italian people, planned Immediately
after his arrival in Rome to confer
with King Victor Emmanuel and then
to call a council Of ministers.

Italy. -
At Turin, which city the premier
and his colleagues reached yesterday,
there was great throng waiting to
greet Signor Orlando. He asked the
crowd to tell hinD what he should
have said after Mr.. Wilson'S 5declara-
tions had been published. Reports
state that the crowd echoed the word
"No" amid wild enthusiasm.
Demonstrations were held last
cities and it is evident the crisis has
profoundly moved the Italian people.
Advices state that the Italians
have large numbers Of troops in
Fiume and that more are being
rushed to the city. J.
The council Of three met as usual
yesterday but Baron sonnino, 1taly's
prominent delegate, remaining in
Paris, was not present. In the formal

Paris, April 2s.-The peace confer

events Of the day are expected to dis
close whether the hopes OF. reconcilia-

outdid Premier Orlando in pressing
the extreme demands made by Italy

These reports are particularly dis
turbing as the American and British
delegations to the peace conference
are said to have had reason to believe
that Premier Orlando might adopt a
course before the Italian parliament
which would lead to an amicable ad-
justment. Premier Lloyd George was
particularly hopeful that this result
would be brought about.
