PEACE CONFERENCE DIFFICULT,
TIES SHOW SIGN OF BEING
lRoNED OUT.
COUNCIL HOLDS its GROUND
overtures for Resumption Of Relation,
Have Not Been Made, But Rome
i Is Said to BE Willing to
Compromise.

Paris, May LIN spite OF optl-
mistic views Of the French press
on the effect Of Premier orIando's
speech In the italian parliament,
there were no Indications In Peace
conference circles, of any feeling
that the situation had altered ma
terially. On the part Of the coun-
Gil OF Three there were no signs
Of yielding. IT the Italians expect
some proposal from Paris, they
: will find no response.
Paris, May There is a slight
rift in the Italian cloud. which gives
hope of the clearing of the difficulties
that have arisen in the Peace confer.
ence over the Adriatic problem.
0vertures for resumption Of rela,
tfons have not come thus far from
either direction, but there are init.
nations from Rome, that overtures
from Paris would not be unacceptable
and would receive every attention. :
Return Not. Solicited.
The prevailing sentiment among the.
delegates, including several Of the
American delegation, is against solicit
ing a return of the Italian representa-
tives and it was at first believed Presi-
dent Wilson shared this view. Il. 4
Those nearest the President, how
ever, asserted that if Italy is disposed
to relinquish Fiume, and accept the
compromise the President suggested
he could doubtless, In the interest of
harmony, make such friendly sugges-
tfons as would permit the resumption
of relations by the Italians without any
sacrifice of dignity or self esteem. /.
Compromise minated. -
These personal susceptibilities are
felt to be more of an obstacle at pres
ent than the territorial merits of the
case. While popular sentiment in
Italy still insists on holding Fiume,
the recent official attitude has been
less insfstent and apparently tends
toward acceptance Of one Of the vari-.
GUS plans proposed by the Council of
Three, whereby Fiume would be inter-
nationalized and some Dalmatian out
posts. given to Italy. ~
1t is the declared purpose of the
council as well as President Wilson,
not to yield on FIume. even If the
pea& treaty fs signed without 1taly's
participation. But should the recent
official tendencies at Rome take the
definite form of acceptance of COM
promise, the Presidents friends say
they are sure that no feeling of pride
will restrain him from taking steps
which will fully restore the Italian
delegation to its former agreeable
status in the conference.

SIX HAVE BEEN DELIVERED
Sixteen Packages Are Found by Mail
Clerk ins New York Postoffiee
After Reading Of Parcel Ex-
ploding in Georgia.

New York, May 1.-With the dis
covery in the New York postofice Of
Is Internal machines, in addition TO-
six more that have been delivered to-
prominent men in various parts Of
the country, federal detectives started
search for the senders of the dam
:gerDus missives. -.
The is bombs found we're addressed
to prominent men, including judges
and cabinet members, while the six
thus far delivered to addresses
through the mail reached the Offices
Or homes Of the following:
Former Senator Thomas Hardwick
Of Georgia; Congressman John L..
Burnett of Alabama; Federal Judge
K. M. Lands of Chicago; Mayor Ole.
Hanson of Seattle; District Attorney
Charles M. Fickert and his assistant,
Edward NJ. Cunha of San Francisco.
None Of these men has been in
Iured by the bombs, but Senator Hard
wick's wife and maid were severely
hurt. The parcels bore similar mech
anisms, arranged to explode on open
ing, and were sent as novelty sam
plies from New York with fictitious
tag, indicating that they came from
the store of Gimbel Brothers.
Held for Lack Of Postage.
The packages found in the New
York postoffice were discovered by a.
mail clerk, after reading of the bomb
exploded at the home of Senator Hard
wick. They had all been held for lack
Of f1rst.class postage.
The addresses. were all typewriter.
The style and a couple of minor er-
rors led officials to believe that the
addressing was done by foreigner.
Clerk Makes Discovery.
A slip on the part of the senders of
the Internal machines coupled with
the sharp wits of a: postoffice clerk,
were all that prevented the bombs
from being delivered. The Is pack
ages were mailed Saturday night in q
box somewhere, in. the neighborhood
Of Thirtfeth street and Broadway.
They had the correct postage for the
parcel post, but were sealed with red
waters and therefore could be accept
ed only as first-class matter. Accord
ingly they were sent to the general
postofice to be referred back to the
sender. /, SIR Gi:. w:t=<.s.. -, -
Each parcel had the name of Gimbel
Brothers printed on it. x ','.r-
Later a representative of Gimbe1
Brothers called on Inspector Cochran
and, after examining the parcels, de-
clared the wrappings had never orig:
mated in the department store.

OUR MONROE :D[]lOC,TRINE.,

Sprinfield (Mass.) Republican: II Is
the Monroe doctrine specifically recog-
nized. without definition, in the league
covenant without paying q price In
such places as this peace conference
one never gets something for nothing
The bargaining instinct is in diplo-
matist as active as 1t is in pushcart
huckster.
The French delegates fought the
Monroe amendment outright and prob
ably their price was further conces-
>sions by Mr.. Wilson in the Saar valley
or in the Rhinelands. Orlando may get
more favorable terms regarding Fiume
and Dalmatia. Lloyd George must
have been able to suggest to the presi-
sary to satisfy his home folks,
The result of the American victory
for the Monroe doctrine is very sure to
be such a straining of the IA points
as to give us less security in the long
view, against another general European
war. Yet that security, such as it is
is everything in the way of practical
compensation that we can expect to
obtain for our war efforts.
Mr.. Wilson, curiOusly, is winning the
British tory circles, in consequence OF
the Monroe doctrine amendment, new

as 'one who worked for the confusion
of other nations and the greatness

OIL WON THE WAR.

Fairmont Sentinel: The winning OF
the war has been attributed to many
things. 1t has been variously claimed
that food conservation won it. that
bumper wheat crops won it, that thrift
stamps won it, that women won it.
that ships won it, that tanks won it.
that patriotism won it. And now the
claim is made that the war was really
single Industry in this or any other
country made such extraordinary show
ing in increased production and expor-
tation as was made by the gasoline in
dustry during the war period. The
abundant supplies of gasoline for the
use of the allied armies while the Ger
man supplies were almost exhausted
undoubtedly were a great factor in
bringing about the ultimate success of
the allied countries.
In 1916 this country sent to Europe
8,473,1O2 barrels of gasoline. In 1917
this amount had been increased to g.
901, 877 barrels and in 1918 to 1892
sos barrels, an increase of nearly 49,
600 barrels a day over the year 1917.
