Premiers Ask United States to

To Break Up Tonight.
JEW PRESENT PLEAS
(By Associated p-ess)

SAN RENO, April 26.-The council
of premiers. at the request of Premier
Nitti of Italy and Foreign Minister
Trumbitch of Jugo-Slavia, will allow
the Adriatic question TO remain in ne
gotiation between the Italian and
Jugo-Slav governments, it was learned
today.
Reports that the Adriatic question,
including the disposition of Fiume,
would be settled by the San Reno
council in accordance with President
Wilson's program appeared from San
Reno advices last night to be at least
premature.
1t was stated last night that the
settlement proposed by Premier Nit
ii. although following generally the
lines of President Wilson's note of
December 9, varied from it by includ-
ing constitution for the buffer state
of Ffume, to which both the French
and British premiers objected, consid-
ering that it limited too largely the
character of the new state.
Premier Nitti, it was said, was in
formed by both the French and Brit
ish delegations that Italy either
should accept President Wilson's
plans or abide by the pact of London,
which gave Fiume to the Jugo-Slays.
The council began it's work today
with the intention of finishing its re-
naming labors before night. The pre-
miers had important decisions to
make. chiefly those concerning the
form in which the note to Germany,
setting forth the allied position with
regard to execution of the treaty of
Versailles, would be drawn, and the
Adriatic settlement.
May Leave Tonight
The French and Italian delegations
expect to leave San Reno tonight.

The council decided Saturday to

Wilson that the United States take
the mandate for Armenia, and award
