THE READERS VIEWPOINT
Letters to the Editor on Current Topics

Your editorial says Senator Lode
was in favor of war with German
and you call that stand a desire ,
meddle in European affairs. This \
unfair to Mr.. Lodge as there is val
difference in urging the country to dc
fend itself against a nation that mac
war against us for two years al
agreeing to give the support of II
country to one or two foreign natior
engaged in a dispute that in no wa
concerns us. In the one case it is self
defense, in the other case it is med
ding. Did Washington "meddie" |
England's affairs?

THIS STARTS THE STORY

"A week end house party is being
held at the country home of Kath
crime and Bingham Harvard. Among
the guests is one Conrad Belknap.
Katherine discovers him cheating at
cards. Convinced that he is con
cealing his real identity and that he
is there for some ulterior purpose,
Katherine determines to ferret ont the
mystery. She has formerly had rx-
perience as a police headquarters de-
tective and has been known as Lady
Kate of the police. She intcrceptS
a telephone call of Belknap's to a
woman confederate whom he calls
Berta and, in turn, calls up the
woman and learns her full name and
address. Realizing that he is sus-
pected by katherine, Belknap threat
ems to expose the fact that kath-
crimes brother, RoderiCk MaXwiltOn,
who is believed by his parents to b"
dead, faces a term in prison. Blng-
ham Harvard, who once bore the title
Of the Night Wind, becomes sus-
picious of Belknap and of Katherine 3
attitude toward him. Belknap's con-
federate, Berta, or Roberta, arrives
on the scene under the name Of
Ssporita Cervantez, a pianist, who is
to entertain the guests. She pre-
tends to be dumb and writes her
words on a pad Of paper, Her action
mystifes Belknap. Harvard attacks
Belknap one night after he has re-
ceived notes from both Katherine and
Roberta from a balcony of the house.
Belknap does not recognize his as
sailant. Shots are fired at supposed
burglars by Madame Savage, gu">J.

The story of the negotia- tons, he declares, will show that the Italian delegation acted not only with firmness. but with & grand spirit ot conciliation.
 He concludes his statement as fol- lows:
 The presidential message ends with a warm declaration of Americas friendship for Italy. reply in the name of the Italian people, and proudly claim the right and honor to do this as one who, in the most tragic hour of this war, proclaimed the cry of resistance at all costs. This cry was heard and replied to with courage and abnegd- tion of which there are few more strik- ing examples in the worlds history.
 'Italy, thanks to the most heroic sacrifices and purest blood of her cfil- dren, was able to descend from the abyss of misfortunes to the raiia nj crest of most glorious victory. In the name, therefore, of Italy, express with all my power the sentiment of ad- mil ation and profound sympathy which the Italian people proiesses toward the American people"

Orlando is Anorv

PARIS, April 24-Premier Orlando and the other members of the Italian delegation apparently are much angrier over President Wilson's worldwide publication of his position on the Adri- atic question than over his opposition to their claims, and the fact that dip- lomatic procedure has been violated and what is termed an insult offered to the Italian government, because the president made his position known to the Italian people over the head of the peace delegation.
 Discussing this contention today. a member of the American peace dele gation said:
 Plume or nothing has been the Italian delegation's unalterable formula for nearly eight weeks, and their Plume insistence upon the settlement of the Adr1atic questions, before an agree ment upon the peace terms. forced President Wilson to tell the world where he stands.
 This statement was more for the American public than for the Italian public, and it should not leave anyone 1 in the dark as to the American posi- tion on secret agreements"
 The efforts of the Europeans to in yoke the rules of displomatic procedure and the conflicting statements, clouded 1 in obscurity, have been noted by the American delegates and correspond ents who are endeavoring to obtain actual facts. The professions of sur prise by the Italians of President Will son's statements are amazing to the 1 correspondents, who have positive 1 knowledge that the statement was sub- mitted to Premier Orlando several days before it's publication and that he sought advice about drafting a reply.
 Many conflicting accounts of the events immediately preceding Signol

 Premier Leaves for Italy
 PARIS. April 24.-(By the Associated Press)-Premier Orlando and Signor Barzilai will leave for Rome tonight This decision was announced aIter Premier Orlando's return from ms conference with the other members or the council of four at which, according to the Italian premier, only questions of principle and not territorial r1Snts, were discussed.
 This is explained as meaning that the discussions centered on the ques- ton of prestige, involved in the pupil cation of President Wilson's statement that no effort was made to reach a settlement on a territorial basis The conference lasted two hours. Baron Sonnino, the foreign minister. and the other Italian delegates and representatives will remain in Paris temporarily.
 Last Meet With Four LONDON, April 24.-An official statement issued by the press bureau says that before his departure for Rome, Premier Orlando had another ! meeting with President Wilsan and Premiers Lloyd George and Clemen- ceau. All displayed the strongest de- sire to reach a satisfactory solution of the problem. The heads of the British and French governments expressed to Premier Orlando the hope that the Italian parliament would assist in ar irving at such a settlement Labor Endorses Wilson LONDON, April 24.-(By the Asso- ciated Press)-Prominent British labor leaders have sent a telegram to Presi- dent Wilson congratulating him "on i your magnificent declaration for peace based on the 14 pounds" and adding: We are certain that the Italian workers will associate themselves with the international workers in support ing you"
