TELLS THEM WHY He PULLED
OUT OF THE PARIS PEACE
CONFERENCE.
TWO QUESTIONS TO SETTLE d
10 Country Behind Their Delegates in
Opposing Wilson's Demands, and
Secondly, Gravity Of the Stu
ation-Chcer America.

Rome. - Premier Orlando in ad-
dressing the crowd which greeted
him here Saturday said:
ut is not time for fine language.
In the face of the world, which is
judging US, we must have firmness
and calm, serene conscience.
There are two questions. The
first is whether the government and
the Italian delegates have faithfully
interpreted the thought and viii of
the Italian people"
The response from the crowd was
shouts of yes"
II never doubted It," continued
the premier. ''for know the soul Of
my people, but confirmation was re-
quired. The first question Is an
swered; Rome is consecrating our
work.
Cry "Down With Wilson,"
"The second question is to esti-
mate the gravity of the situation.
But 1 do not ask you for an immedi-
ate reply. Let us now consider
what best or most desirable can
happen to our Italy, whose just
and praiseworthy attitude has pro-
voked the admiration of two worlds.
Cheers and cries Long live Ameri-
ca-down with Wilson-').
1--WE must show that we have
taken the worst into consideration.
After four years of unspeakable pri-
vations and sacrifices we find our
selves faced with fresh sacrifices
and privations. At this moment Italy
is ready and greater than ever
greater than in May, 1915.
"The decision must be a WELDON
sidered one. Food supplies are fail
ing US, but Italy. which has known
hunger, has never known dishonor.

of this very critical hour. (Cries of
"We will face anything'D.
81 am with you," continued the
premier, "a brother among brothers,
and also a chief who asks to obey
and follow the will of the people. 1t
may be that We shall find ourselves
alone, but Italy must be united and
have a single will. Italy will not
perish"
Ovation Given Premier.
At the close of his address the
premier was given an ovation. Cen

were cheered by the soldiers and

asserted that there was complete
solidarity of the people with the
government.
Peace Conference Hopeful.
Paris.-While feeling Of hope
fulness over the Italian crisis exists
in peace conference circles, 1t Is ad-
mitted that there is a grave posi-
bility Of danger In the demonstra-
tons occurring in Italy. The rally
lat Rome in favor Of complete COM
mand Of Fiume in which anti-Ameri-
cans and anti.British sentiment was
shown causes disquiet.
May Force Withdrawal.
It is realized here that the popu-
lar demand that Orlando make no
l,concessions may force the Italian
lplenipotentiaries to withdraw from
the peace conference. Therein lies
the danger Of the situation and this
week will be full Of anxiety for
those striving to bring peace.

view to finding a satisfactory solu.

Italy's claims thereto. The opinion

son was misinformed about the true
situation in Italy, as is proved by his
ill-advised message, which bitterly
wounded the susceptbilities of one OF
the most sensitive peoples of the
world.
| Another TangIe Due.
Paris-Another crisis is due to ar
rive this week over the settlement OF
, the Japanese and Chinese claims to

mark the second clash between Great
Britain and Japan and it is believed
likely may cause an open break.
: On the occasion of the first split
, Great Britain placated the japanese
; allies by claims that the colonial en-
, pire-Australia and Canada-would
not permit of England indorsing the
views of Toxic regarding the equal
ity of races, which means lifting the
Asiatic exclusion bills. This time
