WILSON STICKS TO GROUND
President Firm That Latins
t. Shall Not Grab Fiume.
ORLANDO SEEKS SOLUTION
Italian Premier Arranges -to Hold
Conference With Lloyd George
v to Discuss Adjustment.
PARIS. April S2- (By the Associ
ated Press.) There are indications of
weakening- on the part of the Italian
delegation and a disposition to with
draw their demands for the Dalmatian
hinterland if permitted to have the
coast, the coastal watershed and
Fiume.
President Wilson is Inflexible in his
position thai Fiume shall not be an
nexed to Italy, thus bottling up Jugo
slavia. Although Premier Orlando probably
will not attend the meetings of the
council of four immediately, the in
clination of the Italians to compromise
is looked upon as encouraging by the
allies, who apparently Vre hopeful that
an agreement may'be reached by mu
tual concessions.
Orlaad la Ceafereacea.
The Italian premier, while not at
tending the session of the council to
day, had a series of private conferences,
and arranged a meeting with Premier
Lloyd Ceorge. with a view to seeking
a plan of adjustment.
One compromise proposed to the Ital-
ms. making provision for the recog
nition of their claim to Flume in ex
change for the abandonment of their
claim to the Dalmatian coast, was re
jected. Although the Italian peace confer-
i ence delegation made no official state
ment on the aahject. a member of the
delegation told the Associated Press
today that it considered It useless for
the Italian delegatea to take part In
further conference unless the allies
were' willing to grant their requests.
Italia a. Moat ladlgaaat.
The Indignation of the Italian dele
gation is as strong against the British
and the French as against the Amer
icans, and after the failure of Premier
Orlando again today to appear at the
meeting of the council of four, the
break between the Italians and the
allies became well defined.
In the meantime. Premier Clemenceau
and Lloyd George and President Wil
son are busily considering the ques
tion of the future of Kiao-Chau with
Baron Maklno and Viscount Chtnda of
the Japanese delegation.
The American delegates declare em
phatically that President Wilson is de
termined not to yield on the Fiume
question. As America was not a party
to the London treaty, the president re
fuses to discuss controversies arising
ever the Dalmatian coast and other
countriea covered by the secret treaty
signed by Italy. Franca and Great
Britain.
Meeting Meat lasatUf artery.
It was learned today that it was at
the suggestion of the Italian delega
tion that President Wilson remained
away from the meeting Monday morn
ing, when Premlera Lloyd George,
Clemenceaa and Orlando and Foreign
Minister Sonnlno discussed the London
pact. The meeting between the repre
sentatives of the three powers. It is
understood, was extremely unsatisfac
tory, as Italy insisted that the London
treaty should not be affected by her
subsequent agreement to President Wil
son's 14 points, and demanded the lit
ral fulfillment of the promises made
her previously.
The Italian delegates are not pre
paring to leave Paris, apparently be
lieving that the allies will approach
them with a compromise before peace
Is signed with Germany. However, the
French. British and American delegates
show no signs of weakening and con
tinue to advise the Italians of the
meetings, as if the Italian delegates
bad not bolted.
V. S. Delegates Opawse lasnlta.
So far as can be learned here, no !
request that their delegates be given
freedom of Intercourse has been re
ceived from the Germans. It would not
surprise the American delegates, how
ever, if such a request were presented.
The reeling in American official cir
cles Is that the German delegatea
hould be treated with the customary
formal diplomatic courtesy. The belief
Is beld that any attempt to treat them
as prisoners, or to guard and bar all
I access, would merely result In the flood
ing of neutral countries with masses
of uncontrolled versions and comment
on the conference sent out from Berlin,
possibly under the suggestion that the
allies were unwilling to have the truth
known, whereas such propaganda could
he largely anticipated and disarmed by
permitting news of the German attitude
to be bandied under proper control di
rect from Paris.

Rail Directors Expected to CItc Ap
proval Following Their Visit
to San Francisco.
Restoration of the ehaata Limited at
an early date Is regarded certain as a
result of the visit to the Pacific coast
of rail chiefs of the government rail
road administration. The Shasta Lim
ited was one of the luxuries of travel
that was removed because war time
conditions required the use of locomo
tives for hauling essential traffic It

came too heavy on the line Into Puget
sound terminals, and between Portland
and 6an Francisco June 12.

from Washington that excess - fare
trains would be restored where busi
ness demanded and revenues war
ranted. The Shasta Limited was a
popular and well-patronixed train dur
ing the period it was maintained and
Is demanded by travel up and down the
Pacific coast.
At Seattle and Portland business
men stated to the officials their desire
for the service to "be renewed. Max
Thelan. director of public service, and
Edward Chambers, director of traffic,
the two men under whose sanction the
service would come, it is believed will
give their approval at San Francisco
and the service will be resumed at an
early date.

According to advices from Omsk the
Siberians are now within 100 miles of

At the very onset of the tilt with the
victory loan quota, city and state are
in the thick of the most enthusiastic
campaign of the brilliant series thst
have won for Oregon a patriotic record
second to none in the sisterhood of
the union.
At the close of the daily canvass
yesterday, actually the first day of
local endeavor, tthe sales forces of the
city, under H. B. Van Duzer, as sales
manager, reported an official total of
$2,467,250 to City Chairman Emery
Olmstead. And that's a' long stride to
ward the goal of $14,786,325.
When the last belated message from
outer-state counties had reached head
quarters last night, John I Etheridge.
state director of organization, report
ed that 21 counties were officially
over, with a comDinea suoscnpuon in
all districts of $8,348,140. Thus, the
outer-state lacks but $3,612,085 of Its
$11,961,225 quota.
21 Counties en Honor Roll.
The counties which have eclipsed
their allotments, and which decorate
the honor roll, are Benton, Clackamas,
Coos, Curry, Deschutes, Douglas, Gill
iam, Grant, Jefferson, Josephine, Lake,
Lincoln, Marion. Morrow, Polk, Sher
man, Tillamook, Union, Wallowa,
Washington, Yamhill.
We can judge the opening of this
campaign only by the response in the
first day's drive of the fourth loan,
said Chairman Olmstead. of the city
committee. "On the first day of the
previous loan we received subscrip
tions totaling more than $4,000,000.
Contrasted with this swift start, we
now have but $2,467,250 for the first

and energetically, but the public has
not yet begun to respond. There must
be a more immediate and liberal an
swer if Oregon wins her honors in time
that will compare to previous loan
records.
Sales Force Out to Win.
"We are not yet worried about Port
land's quota, but do feel that the public
should make It easy for the volunteer
sales force by being ready with sub
scriptions when the solicitors call for
them. Only in this way can the city
hope to hold its laurels.
"One of the certain signs of victory
Is the confident, eager spirit with
which the city sales force, to the last
man, has entered the fifth drive. They
are out to win, and the citizens of Port
land, for the sake of their own city
and in memory of the sacrifices that
their sons made overseas, should meet
them In the same spirit I might add
that victory headquarters will be open
every evening for subscriptions."
' Battleship Oregon Dne Sunday.
An epochal moment In the fifth lib
erty drive for Portland will be the ar
rival of the historic Oregon, the bat
tleship which bore the state's name Into
action at the Santiago harbor en
trance, and played a gallantly conspic
uous part in the winning of the war
with Spain. According to advices re
ceived yesterday, the Oregon, now at
Bremerton, will steam into Portland
harbor on Sunday morning, remaining
that day and the following as a grim
old mascot of the victory drive In the
state which christened her.
Thewed with resolution, and fortified
by the best salesmanship in the city,
the local campaign committee faced
Portland's quota yesterday and
swapped fearless punches with it Un
der the new plan of down-town cam
paign the district sales directors and
managers bade their workers turn to
the task with a will. As it is in Ore
gon, whare a majority of victorious
counties already have returned their
quotas, so it is in Portland.
"Well, we'll finish it now!" is the at
titude of the sales forces.
Early yssterday Portland took on its

solicitors combing their districts to the
last office, and with the programme of
