ITALIANS NOW DESIRE
WILSON SETTLEMENT
Declared to View Ii M Better fer
Them Than Treaty of Lon
don'a provfsions.

Ivy Associated frcSs.
ROME, April S. = Acce ptancc OF
President Wilson'S settlement OF the
Adriat!c problem was nrst seriously
discussed when Premier N!t,i was
in London to attend the conference
with the heads of allied powers, &C
cordinG to newspapers here.
When critical situation arose
through President Wilson's refusal to
accept tho compromise suggested by
France and England, il is said the
Italian government realized that
adoption of any other alternative
would leave IL merely the pact OF
London. which would have meant that
Tiume must be handed over to
Croatia.
Italians are most anxious. above all.
TO safeguard the Italian status OF
Fiumc. which. IL is asserted. is much
better protected by President Will
sons settlement than by the London
treaty.
The only substantial difference be-
tween President Wilson's project and
the Anglo French compromise Is that
the latter admits OF territorial con-
tinuity between tho state of F'innc
and Italy through narrow strip
along the coast, II is pointed out.
While President Wilson's plan re-
fuses this an understanding seems
possible IL some modification is in
troduccd.
Jugo- Siavia. II is understood. or
poses President Wilson'S suggestion
more strongly than Italians. which
makes II difficult for Premier Sitti
to solve the question through A
friendly accord with the Jugo- Slavs.
which nc earnestly hopes to reach at
the San Reno conference.

BRITISH THIRST INCREASES
LATEST STATISTICS SHOW
Consumption or LIquora in the
United Kingdom, Jumps 90

IUy NabocIatcI Press
LONDON. April 5.-rhc consump-
tion or Intoxicating liquors In tho
United Kingdom was approximately
60 per cent greater in 1919 than In
1918. but about IS per cent less than
in 1913. the last year before the war.
according to figures submitted 10 the
United Kingdom Alliance by George
u. Wilson, It's political and literary
secretary
The increase over the figures for tho
last year OF the war Is attributed
TO the general Improvement in en-
ployment. tho reduction in hours Of
labor and the rehabilitation OF some
100000 soldiers, as VOL as to the
fact that larger output OF beer has
been allowed and an increascd guam
tity OF spirits withdrawn from bond.

Mr.. Hitchcock and Prohibition

e OR many weeks antiprohihtionis hold

ton, without being willing TO return TO the
old. wide-open license system, have COM
planned that no figure in the political field
al this time has represented the safe and
sane liberal sentiment of the country;
therefore 1t has been impossible for that
sentiment TO crystalline around any def
mite personality.
Governor Edwards, of New Jersey, it is
added. does not appeal to this element in
politics. He is too wet. He wants to re-
peal tho constitutional amendment to re-
peal the Volstead act and in effect. restore
the country to 4 saloon and whisky basis
The more enlightened of the liberals quite
understand that it is next 10 impossible
10 carry out any such program, and that
merely 10 undertake it is to array the over
whelm1ng majority OF the American peo-
pie against every move that might be made
III the direction of relaxation.
Ii now comes to pass. however that the
moderate vets have another candidate and
if it be true, they seem to believe, that
there is Il sincere and powerful reaction
throughout the country against rigid pro-
hibition the reactors need look no further
than Senator Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock, OF
Nebraska. for fearless and extremely able
champion. The Senator has just notified
his friends at home that he accepts the
challenge issued to him by his fellow states
man, William J. Bryan; that he will go be-
fore the people OF Nebraska with the Com
moner for showdown on bone-dryness
and advocate beer and light wines as a mid
die ground between drastic prohibition and
the old order
Senator Hitchcock makes a very clear
and definite statement OF liberality on the
question OF prohibition. 1t shows that he
Is not straight-out wet. but takes mid
die course. Mr.. Bryan. on the other hand,
is drastic in his attitude He is relentless.
He would not compromise for moment
upon the question. He wants TO he dele

vance that he will not vote for Hitchcock
