BREAD WILL BE DEAR
EVEN IF FLOUR is CHEAP.

New Orleans, April 23,-'Eyen
though the price of -four falls SO
that it costs the bakers Of the coun-
try no more than the water they
use in their bakeries, the price of
bread will not fall to its former
level" said George S. Ward of New
York. president of the American As
sociation of the Baking Industry, in
an address delivered today at the
annual convention here of the
Southeastern Association of the
Baking Industry.
"No matter how low the price of
-four falls, and there is no prospect
Of any reduction at ALL" Mr.. Ward
said. ''the price of bread cannot go
to the old figure. The reason for
this is the fact that all other ma
terials. all operating costs and all
labor costs have gone up so high
this increase would more than offset
any drop in the price of -four"

by proposing to Germany an ar

Thus reasoned 17-year-old Howard
M. Brock of Elkton. Md, yesterday,
when he faced such a situation
Brock told police his story of an
estranged wife whom he sought to
win back by buying her the Max
Burkenroad home, 1000 Florence

capital was but II cents.
A check for $4,000, given to Burk-

Rome hotel, where Brock lived, a
$50 check cashed at Wolf Hat &
Furnishings store, l42l Douglas,
and several other checks of smaller
denominations are all being gath

Brock.
Brock said his wife, who is now
at the Kiel hotel, Council Bluffs,
had been married before.
He emarried her, he said, afteer a
two weeks acquaintance, in Oil
City, Pa. Her maiden name, he said
was Edith Kelley.
Mrs. Brock denied that she had
been married before she met Brock
She said she intended to file suit for

Fiume Outlet For Commerce.
1T was upon the explicit avowal
of those principles that the initia-
tive for peace was taken. 1t is
upon them that the whole struct-
ure of peace must rest.
IF those principles are to be
administered to. Fiume must serve
as the outlet of the commerce, not
of Italy, but of the land to the
north and northeast of that port
Hungary, Bohemia, Roumania
and the states of the new Jugo-

ITO assign Fiume to Italy would
be to create the feeling that we
have deliberately put the port upon
which all those countries chiefly
depend for their access to the
Mediterranean in the hands of

an integral part, and whose ;over-

Refusal Of President to Yield
on Fiume Question Amazes
Delegates Working for
Compromise.
Hourly temperature:

Paris, April 23.-(By Associated
Press.)-Premier Orlando of Italy
this evening addressed an official
communication to Premier Clemen-
ceau. president of the peace confer.
ence, saying that as result of the
declaration of President Wilson the
Italian delegation had decided to
leave Paris at 2 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
Paris, April 23.-In a statement
issued by President Wilson today
explaining his position on the Adri-
attic question, he declares that Fiume
cannot become, a part of Italy.
The president points out that every
condition concerning the Adriatic
settlement has been changed since
Italy entered the war upon the
promises of the pact of London, the
Austro-H Hungarian empire having
disappeared. He notes that new
states have been created, for which
Fiume is the natural outlet to the
sea.
The president also contends that
the strategic necessity pleaded in
behalf of Italy's claim to the Dali
matian islands no longer prevails, as
the Austrian naval menace has
ceased to exist.
When Premier Orlando received
President Wilson's statement at 4
o'clock this afternoon he Immediate
ly called full meeting of the Ital-
ian delegation. The meeting Is pre-
pairing statement on the situation
to be addressed to the Italian peo-
pie,
Orlando Surprised.
Premier Orlando of Italy ex-
pressed profound surprise today at
the declaration of President Wilson.
which he said came at time when
he was about to make supreme
attempt at conciliation."
"The Italian delegates, hoping to
see the Italian problem adjusted am
icably," he continued, might have
taken some other decision than
ceasing to collaborate in the labors
of the conference had this statement
not been issued"
The premier added that he would
address a message to the Italian
people who, he said, will express
themselves"
The Italian vice admiral, Thaon Di
Revel, former chief of staff, has left
Paris for Rome. Gen. Armada Diaz,
commander in chief of the Italian
armies, it is announced, will leave
tonight.
Statement Regarded as Challenge.
Pres 1ent Wilson'S emphatic dec
laration that he will not yield on the
Adriatic question has created the
most profound sensation in the
peace conference. He has thrown
down the gauntlet to the supporters
of secret treaties in manner which
almost took away the breath of the
delegates who have been urging
compromises on points covered by
many secret documents and at vari-
ance with the presidents ID points.
President Wilson's sweeping dec
laration, while aimed directly at the
Adriatic problems, also reaches the
KiauChau controversy, in which
Japan relies on secret agreements
made with Great Britain; France
and Italy in 1917 to support her in
her claim to the concessions held
by Germany in Shantung.
The peace delegates generally re-
garded President Wilson's. state
ment as challenge which once for
all will dispose of the question
