Premier Orlando Holds

Peace Tie to Rome.
PRESIDENT IS ADAMANT
AGAINST SECRET DEALS

Paris. April 2I.-President Wilson
resumed his place in the council of
four this afternoon. during the re-
sumption of the hearing of the
italian claims. 1t was understood
that it was his purpose to issue a
public statement later, unless an ac-
cord was reached.
The second meeting of the council
was held at o'clock. There was
tension over the acuteness of the
issue.
Premier Orlando was preparing to
take train in the evening for Rome
to lay the situation before pariia-
ment. a few hours remained to de-
termine whether he could carry the
reply which Italy awaited.
Up to late hour, no announce
msnt was made indicating improve

were still proceeding.
The Italian question reached a cuI-
minating phase when President Will

GERMAN MOOD
FOR REJECTING
PEACE At ONCE.
Excuse Is 1t Is Not In
Line With Wilson S
IA Points.
RATHER POSITIVE STEP
THAN PLEB|sC|TE URGED

Berlin. April 21.-fBy the Associated
Press. THE cabinet devoted less than
half an hour to the formulation of its
answer to the entente's invitation to
Versailles for the purpose of receiving
a draft of the peace terms. feeling
OF gloom prevails In official circles. to-
night. and the Associated Press is told
that there are no illusions as 70 OBJ
tanning any mitigation in the dictaterial
peace awaiting Germany.
The procedure of the council of four
came as a surprise, notwithstanding the
fact that the news of the past week
foreshadowed it and it is interpreted
IN cabinet circles and at the foreign of
fice as final proof that the entente
is disinclined forthwith to enter into
negotiations based on President Wilson's s
IA points" and that the terms awaiting
Lermany are cut and dried.
The German emmissaries will merely
have instructions To carry the peace
document back to Berlin The ques-
tion whether the present government
will assume the responsibility of accept
ing or rejecting the terms or whether
it will present them for national ref
erendum is q matter of conjecture
Getting TO Work is Factor.
Official opinion, SO far as adaaced
tonight, was opposed to the deciara
ton Of referendum and in favor of
peremptory declination of peace terms
based on any other proposition than Mr.
Wilson's platform. as the present tenn
per Of the German workingmen is anti
capitalIstic and anti-imperiaiistic and
the bourgeoise is in full accord with
the profetariat
The present government, it has been
learned. is not flirting with the idea
of plebiscite. as it would much rather
negotiate peace and set the country at
work. But it is also conscious that a
