SITUATION AT COUNCIL IS TEST OF (I. S. IDEALS

Developments Show Collision Between American and Eur opean Viewpoint, Says Simonds EFFECT Oti LEAGUE By FRANK H. SlMONDS. (Copyright. 1919. By the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) PARIS. May 3. Notwithstanding the obvious gravity of the situation It produced, the Italian Incident was welcomed on many sides In Paris with the general comment that It cleared the atmosphere. It Induced a situa tion which must lead to settleiV?nt one way or another, on many ques tions. It Involved, more than any other thing that has yet come up, the test oi the whole American position at the Peace conference. It should be added, too, before passing to the ex aminatlon of the issues that the stand of the president was recognized by all Americans and many Europeans alike as a championship, and a powerful championship of the rights of the email people, and it had the approval of those who believed that one of the great purposes of the peace conference Is to recognize the rights of these little peoples, even when they conflict with the ambitions of the great nations. In nothing that he has done since he came to Europe has the president more squarely lined up with what Americans conceive to be American ideals than in this particular incident. In the present article. I desire to discuss two things: First. 'the facts that underlie this particular collision; and, second, the manner in which this collision is illustrative of the collision between European and American Ideals, which has marked the whole conference. Age Long Aspiration. The break between the Italians and the president grows out oi two wholly dissimilar seta of circumstances, the peculiar' domestic ' situation in Italy itself, and the age-long aspirations of the Italian people to revive the glories 'of Rome a4 the conquests of Venice on the eastern shores of the Adriatic. The territories Immediately affected are the city of Flume, a relatively small town with hardly more than 25,000 people, wholly Italian in race and language, but the chief port of the whole northern half of the new JugoSlavic state, and only a tiny point in the surrounding sea of Slavic populations. To give Portsmouth, N. H. or Portland, Maine, to a foreign country because the population within the immediate city limits of either of these towns belonged to a foreign nationality, while the hinterland was, as It Is, American, would supply a fair mustra tlon. More than this, in the case Of Fiume, it is the sea gate and the sole ', sea gate served by adequate railroads In the whole ol Jugo-Slavia. As to Dalmatla, the whole population of this province passes 660,000, of which not more than 30,000 at the most are Italians. This Italian population Is confined to two or three towns, like Zara, Sebenico and Apalato. and they are but little enclaves in a mass of Serb or Croat population, all of which desires not to be Italian, hut Jugo-Slavic. On the basis of self determination, Italy has ho claim whatever to Dalmatla. and on the basis of the right of nations to free access to the sea, the second of Mr. "Wllson'i principles the Jugo-Slava have a claim to Fiume. Wants Pledge Fulfilled Now, the Italian claim to Dalmatla that Is. to the northern half of Dalmatla, which is alone in question, together with the Islands rests upon the agreement made between Italy and England and France at the moment when she entered the war. As the price of her participation, England and France agreed that Italy should have In addition to the Trentino and Trieste about half of Dalmatla, including most of the Islands. At the same time, Flume was expressly reserved a3 the port of Austria Hungary, whose dissolution was not then foreseen. Italy now demands that her allies shall fulfil their pledge, and they have at all times been ready to agree that Italy should now occupy Dalmatla and annex it. But they have Insisted that If Italy annexed Dalmatia, Fiume should go to the Jugo-Slavs. President Wilson, on his part, since the United States was not bound by any such agreement as that to which England and France subscribed, insisted that in accordance with his demand for the self determination of peoples, Dalmatia should ga. to Jugo Slavia. - He has at the same time insisted that Flume should be elected into some sort of free port, and with a guarantee of the League of Nations thus permit the Slavs to have access to the sea in a manner analogous to the rights assured to the Poles through Danzig. The Italians, on their side, have based their claim to Flume on the question of self determination in a very narow area of the town itself, which is Latin. Holds Orlando's Future It is not true, as the Italians allege that President Wilson brusquely appealed over the heads of the Italian delegation to the Italian people. The fact is that after many weeks of discussion it had become perfectly apparent that no accommodation of difference of opinion was possible, short of the absolute sacrifice of the Slav rights to Italian claims. This was a fact because of the peculiar domestic situation in Italy itself. This situation dates back to the entrance of Italy Into the war. Italian participa(Contlnued on Page Three)

The fire and smoke of the battlefield, the wail of sirens and shatering, ear-splitting explosions of bombs, hand grenades and guns brought a sense of the grim reality of war. More than three hundred cleverly devised floats showed many of the army's activities In a way , never before understood by the layman. Depict Military History Trenches, machinegun emplacements, dugouts, camouflaged artillery positions, signal stations and lookout posts, all manned by fully equipped doughboys, were shown. On some of the floats, Germans in their field gray uniforms and scuttle-shaped trench helmets were depicted for the sake of making the mimic warfare seem more realistic. Two of the eighteen floats of the chemical warfare service, showed the wiping out of the machine guns used by the Germans as a rear guard for their retreat. From another float, men hurled the Stokes trench mortar bombs, laying down a smoke barrage, a "breath of death" around German machine gun nests. Another float showed the entire pro-

NORTHERN CHINA PUT UNDER JAP CONTROL, DELEGATION CLAIMS (By Associated Press)" PARIS, Friday, May 2. In declaring its disappointment with the decision of the council of three regarding Klao Chau.'the Chinese delegation to the peace conference in its statement today said that the decision gives Japan practical control of northern China. The statement of the delegation discloses that early in 1917 Great Britain and France agreed to the support of Japanese claims to German rights in Shantung at the peace conference. It says that China knew nothing of the agreement and was not told of them even when she Joined in the war in August, 1917. It is declared that tho Chinese declaration of war abrogated matlcally reverted to China. The Chinese delegation asserts that the reported action of the council of three in transferring the German rights to Japan is not in keeping with the principles of peace laid down by the allied and associated powers. The statement declares that it is intimated that the decision of the council of three granting Japan's claim was for the purpose of saving the league of nations. It is further declared that Japan's claims were based in part on the treaty and notes made in 1915 with Japan. The Chinese delegation says the documents of 1915 were signed by China under the threat of war. The statement also draws a parallel between the Shantung and Fiume questions.

WAYNE CHIEF ISSUES APPEAL TO CITIZENS JQ PUI IOAII OVER An urgent appeal to citizens of Wayne county to keep on buying Victory, bonds, until the county Is absolutely and surely a victor in the Victory loan campaign, was Issued Saturday afternoon by County Chairman Lewis G. Reynolds. "Do not get the idea that this campaign is closed," Bald Reynolds. "The latest county totals, corrected to Saturday morning, 6how a total of only 11,339,650, actually and absolutely subscribed. Wayne county is still far short of her quota. "Many of the counties of the state have finished their campaign, gone into the victory column and gone back to their usual pursuits. Wayne Is one of the richest and most prosperous counties in the state, and there Is no reason why she should remain back while counties far smaller and poorer have raised their quota. "Keep on buying! Buy until it hurts! This loan is just as necessary as any of the other four, and we can not stop short of complete victory." Reynolds said that his township committees reported satisfactory progress Saturday, . but would not make any report until late in the evening. He gave the city total as $789,400, and the county, outside of Wayne town ship, as having raised $550,250. $1,575,000,000 SUBSCRIBED WASHINGTON, May 3.

Page Continues Efforts

To Conciliate Italians (By Associated Prssl PARIS, Friday. May 2. The Italian Issue is still In the balance with Thomas Nelson Page, American am bassador and Comllle Barrere, French ambassador, both making efforts at Rome to find by conversations with Premier Orlando a formula which will heal the breach caused by the withdrawal of the Italian delegation to the peace conference. Mr. Page has had two more long conferences with the Italian premier who is said to show a disposition to - resume relations, but who thinks that overtures should come from Paris. Premier Orlando has written a letter deprecating anti-American demonstrations, saying that the minister of the interior has taken steps to stop them, paying particular attention to manifestations and the press campaign directed against President Wilson. EXPERT WILL BE ASKED TO VIEW HOSPITAL SITE Immediate Erection of Tuberculosis Sanitarium is Discouraged at Meeting. Is Wayne county to build her tuber culosis hospital at once, or wait until prices come down? This question was discussed Satur day morning at a meeting of the board of managers of the hospital, with the county commissioners in the latters' quarters in the courthouse. A tentative arrangement was made to invite Dr. F. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, to inspect the local site in company with the board and the commissioners, at an early date. John Mueller, Dr. Louis Ross, head of the Red Cross, and W. O. Seaney, present manager of the hospital farm. strongly advised the commissioners to wait to start building of the proposed hospital until prices oi mater ials lower, bringing out the fact that the building would cost 85 per cent more now than It would have a year ago. Other Counties Not Interested. John L. Rupe, president of the board of managers, reported to the commissioners that he had written to the officials of the surrounding counties regarding the several-county plan which was suggested at the last meeting, inviting them to co-operate with Wayne county. ' .-' v ' He said he had received replies from only two counties, and that they showed indifference and lack of interest in the project, and that he believed the bes thing for Wayne county to do was to go ahead and make arrangements later to accommodate patients from other counties, charging them fees. Dr. Ross, head of the Red Cross, criticized the sentimentalists who had said that many soldiers returning from France were suffering from tuberculosis, that many men had been rejected for military service because of this disease, and those who urged the building of the hospital at once to accommodate these. He made special reference to newspaper reports of the county social conference at Centerville several days ago. He said that he had thoroughly Investigated the matter, and had been unable to find more than three soldiers who he thought would be benefited by the hospital. He said he had gone over the rejection lists with Clem Carr, former head of the draft board, and believed that the reports of rejection for tuberculosis had been exaggerated. Present Buildings Unfit. Dr. Ross also said that women, whom he characterized as "well meaning but uninformed," had visited the proposed hospital site, and had come back to tell reporters that there was no reason why the present buildings should not be opened at once for a temporary hospital. The present buildings, he said, were, on the contrary, quite unnt lor pa tients, because of the lack of proper sanitary convenience. "There is no reason why the board should be stampeded into building the hospital at once," said Dr. Ross. "The war has not changed the tuberculosis situation in the county a bit, and there is no more need for the building now than five years ago. It is too costly a project, right now."Transportation a Problem. W. O. Seaney, manager of the hospital farm, eaid that a great deal of the cost of the building would be In the hauling of materials. He said lumber which cost him $45 a thousand feet In Richmond cost $50 laid down at the hospital, and transportation of other materials cost In proportion. The question of transporting labor down and back, while paying the workmen for a free ride of an hour or so each way, was also mentioned. Seaney and Mueller reported that the work which has been actually done was to move the superintendent's residence to a new location, move the barn, and partially complete other work required to make way for the hospital building itself. Service Men Subscribe For Bonds With Bonus (By Associated Press) . WASHINGTON. May 3.

The TrnntMnn of the peace terms to the Germans win not take place before Wednesday, y i. according to the present indicatlona, this morning's Paris newspapers say. Important progress has been made however, In solving problems remaining before the final shaping of the treaty. The Echo da. Paris aays that the council of three yesterday adopted the section of the treaty dealing with Alsace and Lorraine. The credentials - committee of the peace conference will hold another meeting with the German delegates on Sunday morning. At the meeting of the council of three today, it was decided that no provision will be made in the peace treaty for the disposition ot the German cables, beyond specifying that they are to be taken out of the hands of the Germans and left in control of the five great powers. Reach Final Decision. With the work of framing the peace treaty seemingly almost completed, except for some secondary matters, the allied and German delegations at Paris are waiting for the formal presentation of the document early next week. Final decisions on several problems which must be written into the terms of peace were reached by the council of three yesterday. Germany must give her cable systems, according to reports, but the allies will not Incorporate in the treaty the plan for the future disposition of this property. The cables will merely remain in the hands of the five great powers until an agreement is reached as to what will be done with them. This Is virtually the same plan said to have been adopted in dealing with the warships which Germany has surrendered. Action Protested. Objections over some decision of the council of three are heard in Paris, the Chinese delegations issuing a statement to the effect that the action of the council merely "substituted Japan for Germany in Shantung and gave Japan additional control of railroads in southern Manchuria." Belglum, too, Is disposed to object to the conclusions of the council it being reported that the Belgians will not ob tain rights they demanded over the control of the Scheldt river or territorial concessions in the Zutch province of Limburg and in German Maestricht. The Italian situation is still , unsettled, but efforts are being made by the American and French ambassadors at Rome to reach an understanding with Premier Orlando. Measures have been taken to prevent further attacks on President Wilson by the Italian press and by persons engaged in demonstrations.
