An American officer who left Flume

The general opinion In American
circles is that the making of peace

incident.

cl'nt Wilson will yield In the slightest
concerning Flume, and in the opinion
ft the Americans an acreement can
n!r be reached by a change in the
Italian attitude.
After the merlin? of the council of
four vesterd.ny. previous to the depar
ture of Tremler Orlando, the following
Official statement was Issued:
C'oafereare 1 Held.
"Before his departure for home S:gnor
Orlando, accompanied by Baron Son
rmo. had another meetinc with Presi
dent Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and
Premier Clerocnceau. Throughout the
itl.russton all present dirplajed the
strongest d'slre to reach a satisfactory
solution of - the problems under con
sideration. The heads of the Ameri
can, British and French governments
expressed to Signor Orlando the hope
that the Italian parliament would also
nvtnt In arriving at such a settle
rnent." Peace conference circles were In
clined to believe today that an amicable
solution of the Italian controversy was
In the making-.
Fir one thine;, it was said. Italy has
Hhown her desire to maintain Rood re
lations with the -allies by the fact that
the Italian delegates remaining In
Paris will continue to collaborate In
the work of the inter-allied commis
sion not pertaining to the actual work
of the peace conference.
It is thought possible that Premier
Orlando may call the Italian parlia
ment together at an earlier date than
May f. as irevlously fixed, and that he
rnay be back In Tarls for the opening
rf the negotiations at Versailles, which
will not begin before the first or sec
ond of May.
Orlaada Attempts Jastifieatloa.
In the statement given out yesterday
fcy Premier Orlando in reply to Presi
dent Wilson's appeal on tha Adriatic
question, atress waa laid by the Ital
ian prime minister upon the question
of the propriety of any attempt from
the outside to eel up opposition be
tween the Italian people and their gov
ernment. As reve5ed by the full te::t
c-f the premier's statement now avail
able, after arguing; that such an at
tempt would virtually mean the Ignor
ing and denying of the high degree of
civilisation which the Italian people
Jiad attained under democratic govern

"To oppose, so to speak. he Italian
srovernment and people, would be to ad
roit that this great free nation could
submit to the yoke of a will other than
Its own and. I shall be forced to protest
vigorously against such Suppositions,
Unjustly offensive to my country."

BOLSHEVIK POWER WANING
Capture of Kie-r by Ckralnlan Leader
Counted Significant.
VIENNA. April 14. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The capture of Kfev
from the bolshevik! by partisans of
General Petlura. the Ukrainian natron
alist leader, is interpreted here as sig
nifyinr the ebb of the bolshevik
strength in southwestern Russia. I
apparently had been the 'mention o
Lenine and Trotsky to hold the Ukraine
until the crops could be hirvested and
transported to Moscow.
The bolshevik! penetrated the coun
try in four sections. First came agita
tors and next marauding bands to strike
terror. These were followed by large
bodies of troops made up of foreign ele
mcnts. Last came soviet troops headed
by bolshevik commissioners. Iron dis
cipline was maintained by Chinese as
sassins, who executed all soldiers who
revolted.

Dr. Howard said the European corn
borer, a comparatively new parasite in
troduced Into this country from foreign
shipments, has obtained a strong foot
hold in New England and New Tork,
"If this borer reaches the corn fields
of the west." he said, "I don't see what
is soiiig to save them. And there seems
to be but slight'hopc of our being able
to eradicate the pest."

ROME. April 34. (By the Associated

long discussion of the situation with
Cardinal Gasparrl. the papal secretary
of state, and the latter had an inter
view with Archbishop Cerettl, the un

visited America and talked with Presi

Neither the cardinal nor the arch

PEACE SESSION SCHEDULED
Plenary Meeting of Conference to Be
Held Monday to Consider Re
vised League Covenant.
PARIS. April 25. (By the Associated
Press.) Not a rupture, but a suspen
sion of Italy's collaboration in the peace
conference that is how the situation
wss defined in conference circles.
The Italian delegation, feeling that
its representative character has been
called in question in certain quarters,
considers It Its duty to refer to the
Italian parliament, but it is believed
probable that Premier Orlando will be
back in time for opening of the nego
tiations with the German plenipoten
tiaries at Versailles, which will not oc
cur before May 1 or May 2. '
Latlaa to Bold Aloof. '
Until the Italian prime minister's re
turn the Italian delegates will not at
tend the cessions of either the confer
ence or its commissions, but in order to
show that Italy desires tc maintain
good relations with the allies the Ital
ians will continue to collaborate on the
inter-allied commissions not depending
upon the conference, such as the eco
nomic council, the armistice commis
sion, and -the commissions cn supply,
transportation and raw materials.
The first of the Germans -who sre to
participate in the Versailles congress
arrived in Versailles today in two par
ties. ' The first group, consisting ot
three official coUriers, arrived early in
he day arid the second, headed by Herr
Lersner, came later. They were escort
ed to the Hotel des Reservoirs.
The Germane were met at tho station
by Colonel Henry of the ministry of
war commissary and M. Oudatlle of the
ministry of the interior, who were del
egated by the foreign office to take
charge of the German representatives.
The arrival of Lersner and his party
was so quietly arranged that few per

These were his last" words. The

Originally S'rrpson sued for-divorce,
but his wife filed a cross bill, whl

Judge Brothers held Mrs. Simpson to

AMERICA IS LITTLE AFFECTED
People of U. S. Will Continue

MR. BARNES IS CONFIDEN
Wheat Supplies in This Country Be
lieved to Be Sufficient but
Economy Is Necessary.
PARIS. April 25. An Increase in th
milling percentage which will virtually
put the wurld back" to a war-bread
basis for th next three months is part
of the programme adopted by the su
preme food council under the chair
manship of Herbert C. Hoover.
NEW TORK, April 25-. Americans
will continue .o eat "white bread," re
stored late Jist year, after months of
milling on a victory flour basis, despite
the 'return of European countries to a
war-bread basis, announced by the su
preme food council, Julius H. Barnes,
president of the food administration
grain corporation and federal wheat
director, said today.
American .Supply Adequate.
A survey of wheat stocks, Mr. Barnes
said, had convinced his department that
the American supply was sufficient
not, only to warrant continued produc
tion of all wheat flour, but'to meet the
export demand until the next harvest.
Reversion in Europe to the war bread
basis, Mr. Barnes asserted, might help
to impress upon Americans the alarm
ing food shortage in the war-torn and
neighboring lands.
The 75 per cent basis to. which Eu
ropean mills must, confine themseLves,
tne wneat bureau stated, was approxi
mately that of the American "victory
flour," milled during the greater part
of the var, . , , . .
Distribution Naw Problem.
The programme also includes a com
plete plan for securing and distributing
food to allied, liberated, neutral and
enemy countries until the next har
vest. One object of the programme -is
to determine the available food supply
and so to distribute shipping as not
to put unaue pressure on any one
market. . '
The council has r -ranged to supply
northern and central European coun
tries largely with ryo insted of wheat
and for neutrals to look for their cup
ply mainly in Argentina and Australia.
The effect of these arrangements- is to
take the pressure off the wheat mar
ket in the United States.

LAST LAUGH, AFTER ALL.
t
Action by Shipping Board Means Re
duction of Government Work in
Yards Throughout Country.
WASHINGTON, April 23. Cancella
tion of contracts rr.ade during the war
for construction of 2,000.000 tons of
steel ships was announced today by
the shipping board, which is preparing
to close government work in many
yards "throughout the country. This
brings total cancellations since the
signing . of ' tho armistice to 4,000,000
tons.
In the brief announcement issued
from the office of Chairman Hurley no
reference was made to the actual num
ber of contracts involved or to the
yards affected by the cancellation
order. It was explained, however, that
action at this time would not come as
a surprise to builders, as notice was
served on them months ago of the
board's new policy, the chief feature of
which was the elimination of building
plans for all ships under 12,000 tons.
At the end of March about 300 ships
for the board had been launched but
not delivered. These ships represented
a tonnage of about 1,800,000. On the
same date keels had been laid for some
600 ships aggregating 3,000,000 tons.
Shipping board officials said they were
unable to give the actual number of
contracts outstanding or later figures
than of March 31. It was indicated.
however, that yards like Hog island.
along with smaller plants on the At
lantic. Pacific and Gulf coasts, would
lose some government business.
Mr. Hurley's statement added:
in some or the old yarns we are
paying from ,193 to $225 per ton for
cargo steamships and oil tankers. In
some of the new yards we are paying
as high as SJ300 per ton for carr.o ships
As these are war prices ard as we
feel that we should now be building
only on peace prices, we are now con
sidering cancelling all contracts where
keels have not actually been laid."

"These bonds are worth tho money,
madame," said the salesman at victory
hut.
"Add a single letter to that worth,
sir," came the reply. "They are
worthy. You need not tell me about
them."
With this comment a middle-aged
woman, plainly dressed, bought $1000
worth of victory loan notes at victory
hut yesterday afternoon. It is such
Instances, say the crusaders, that
shame those citizens who hang back
from the investment.
Small Advance Made.
At the close of tho day's campaigning
late last night tho victory loan drive
"in rortlarrd had progressed but slightly
nearer the quota of 114,786,325. Total
sales to date stand now at $5,120,900,
showing a deficit-of $9,665,425 yet to be
mastered.
Outer-state counties, which shot daz-
zlingly forward at the outset .of the
drive, are nibbling away at the hard
nubbin of their quota remainder. Offi
cially 24 counties have completed their
tasks, while the outer-state total stands
at $10,719,495, according to the compu
tations of John I Etheridge, state di
rector of organization. With a quota
of $11,961,225, the outer-state counties
yet lack $1,241,730.
Portland Not L,IvIbb- l'p to Record.
"Portland, by her attitude, will brand"
herself with discredit, or gain new
honor among the cities of America."
said City Chairman Olmstead. "The fig
ures thus far are not at all satisfac
tory, not at all worthy of Portland.
her patriotism and her resources. How
long are we going to put this duty
aside, turn the solicitors away and
selfishly enjoy the safety and happi
ness that our boys and the liberty loans
made possible?
"It is up to the Individual business
and professional man, up to every cit
izen. Again the story Is going arouno
that we have large amounts hidden and
in reserve. There iaono truth In this,
not a jot. We. are giving the actual
figures, all of them, of actual subscrip
tions. As yet they are not creditable
to Portland. I appeal to every man
and woman In Portland to give sub
stantial proof that they have heard
this call, and we will repay the debt
of honor."
Said John L. Etheridge, state director
of organization: "Slowly but surely
the organization tank of the outer-state
counties is rolling over the quota. Its
progress is not quite so speedy as we
anticipated, perhaps, but it is irresisti
ble." Strong Appeal Made,
Brimming with patriotic cayenne is
A. H. Devers, victory hut sales man
ager, -who issues manifestos and ulti
matums with the abandon of a South
American president. But they are all
to the point, and the point is driven
straight to the heart of selfishness.
Here is his latest:
"Are we American patriots, or are we
braggarts and blowhards? Just for a
moment! The debt of the despised
Huns is over $40,000,000,000. Our gross
deht, including the victory loan, is $25,
000.000,000, and our allies owe us $10.- .
C0.0000.ao0 of that. Stop! Think! Do
your duty! Buy bends!"
Fifteen hundred volunteer salesmen.
with the hosts of the women s commit
tee in the residential districts, are
hammering- away at Portland's somno
lence of self-satisfaction. Trudging
miles each day they are striving to per.
suade the individual that this is his .
loan and his duty, and that it does not
belong entirely to the banks and the
financial interests. They are wrestling
with procrastination- and delay, ana
the slothful, indecisive tendency to put
the Issue aside until tomorrow.
Individual Answer Counts.
Though there are numerous large
subscriptions yet to come, such as those ,
of foreign corporations and industrial
plants, these alone will not swing the
balance to victory in the victory loan,
assert officials of ttfi drive. It is the
Individual who must answer, just as
the individual answered the call which
