ACUTE STAGE
REACHED IN
F|UME ISSUE
Sonnino Demands Full
filment Secret Treaty
of London.
WILSON TAKES POSITION
IN DIRECT OPPOSITION

Paris, April o0.-(By the Associated
Press. )-The Italian issue over the Ad-
riatic has reached an acute stage, where
a decision one way or the other cannot
longer be deferred.
During the Easter calm the council Of
four continued its sessions at the White
House" beginning at 10 O'Clock this
morning. The Italian premier, Nittorio
Orlando, and the Italian foreign minis
ter. Baron Sonnlno, were both present
and made it known that the opening of
the Italian parliament on Wednesday
has necessitated 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 70 Italy the entire
Dalmatian coast and islands and also
claiming the city of Fiume without in
ternationalization or division with the
Jugoslavs.
Premier Orlando was moro conciliat-
ing. A telegram which he had received
from the heads Of the Italian army de-
clared that the entire army was behind

Captain Tozzi Of Premier Orlando S
staff, said the telegram was in effect an
ultimatum and disclosed how universal
and deep rooted was the Italian determ-
NATION to secure adequate protection on
the eastern Adriatic coast. He added
that II these rights were not recognized
Italy would undoubtedly adopt her own
course, without reference to the con

ATTORNEY GENERAL
WILLING To ENFORCE
WAR PROHIBITION
Has Large Force of Secret
Agents No Longer Needed for
War Investigations.

Washington. April 2n-The depart
ment Of justice is not averse to a per-
formance Of the functions of enforcing
the war time prohibition measure when
it goes into effect July |, it wns learned
today. II is expected n proposal that
the enforcement entrusted TO this agency
will be submitted TO President Wilson
on his return from Europe and that he
will be urged TO take this action under
authority of the Ovcrman act which
permits him to transfer duties from one
government department to another
Discussion of where the power TO en-
force the prohibition may he lodged was
prompted by tho announcement of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Roper
that his bureau had not the force to
police the nation with respect to pro-
hibition violations after July l. Sttor-
ney General Palmer has not stated off
cially that he VIII welcome the duties of
enforcing prohibition. It is said that
he has been advised that the cessation
of war work has left a number of sec
ret agents available for other work
and they could take on the liquor en-
forcement function.
Whether the president plans to give
the work to the department of Justice
could not be learned Indications were
that he would not take action until his
return from Europe.
Since Commissioned Roper announced
a week ago that his force Of agents
probably would not be able to handle the
problems of prohibition. no action has
been taken by the revenue bursau to
prepare for enforcement. Neither have
there been any reports indicating whefh
er the president was considering sur-
gestions that the effectiveness Of war
time prohibition be postponed from July
