Orlando Visit to Rome
Buoys Up Italians in
Paris Crisis.
ALL MAY Be SETTLED
IN FORTNIGHT IS WORD

Paris, April 25.-Peace confer
ence circles were inclined to be-
lieva, today, that an amicahIe solu-
tion of the Italian incident was in
the making.
For one thing Italy has shown
her desire to maintain good rela-
tions with the allies by the fact that
the Italian delegates remaining in
Paris will continue to coiIaborate in
the work of the inter- -alied COM
mission not pertaining to the actu-
ual work of the peace conference.
1t is thot possible that Premier
Orlando may call the Italian parI-
ament together at an earlier date
than May 6, as previously fixed
and that he may be back in Paris
for the opening of the negotiations
at Versailles, which will not begin
before the first or second of May.
a AMERICANS CONFIDENT, TOO.
A distinctly more hopeful and less
irreconcilible feeling prevailed at
Italian headquarters today No
longer was there talk of a breach
with the peace conference, but in
stead it was said:
"All may be settled within
sOt &HI9uis NdS
gone to Rome to consult parliament.
Thereafter we shall see"
While the American delegates ex-
pressed regret over the temporary
break with the Italians, they apparently
we're confident today, that some set
lement would be effected when Pre-
nier Orlando confers with the italian
government.
The general opinion in American cir
les Is that the making of peace will be
somewhat delayed by the Italian Incl
lent.
CIemeneeau Gets Message.
There is no hint, however, that Pres
dent Wilson will yield in the slightest
concerning Fiume and in the opinion of
he Americans an agreement can only
'e reached by a change in the Ital-
ans attitude
Premier Clemenceau this morning re-
'eived a message from Premier Orlando
which the Italian statemen dispatched
while on his way to Rome.
The Italian premier left Paris for
Rome at $50 o'clock tonight accom-
panied by Salvador Barzilai, General Diaz
md two other members Of the Italian
mission. He was given an ovation at
ue StatioH by crowd.
Not Rupture, Say Papers.
After the meeting OF the council of
our Thursday afternoon, previous to
he departure of Premier Orlando, the
ollowing official statement was issued:
Before his departure for Rome, Sig
lor Orlando, accompanied by Baron Son
,ino, had another meeting with President
wilson. Premier Lloyd George and Pre-
nier Clemenceau. Thruout the discus
ion, all present displayed the strongest
Iesire to reach a satisfactory solution
II the problems under consideration, The
reads of the American, British and
french governments express to Signor
Orlando the hope that the Italian par
lament would also assent in arriving
It such a settlement"
The newspapers here are unanimous
n the opinion that the departure of Pre-
nier Orlando from Paris does not con-
'titute a rupture in relations. st is
lot adieu,' says the Petit Journal, but
III revoir.'
The Petit Parisicn is particularly op-
imistic, saying that the critical tension
'xists no longer and there are several
orms of compromise possible"
A part Of the French press manifests
iome impatience that new complications
should arise at the moment when the
ierman plenipotentiaries are abou to ar
i've. The Echo de Paris fears that "as
/ sequel Of the methods employed, all al
iances may totter"
