Amid tne bomblike bursting of innumerable photographic flashlights. Count Brockdorff Rantzau and his as sociates of the German peace delega tion stepped off the special train which had brought them from Berlin at Vau cresson station, just outside this town, this evening. The train pulled into the little ter minus at 9:25 o'clock. On the station platform stood the reception committee, composed of half a dozen French offi cials, reinforced by from 40 to 50 news paper men of the allied countries. Pale but self-contained and serene, Germany's minister of foreign affairs descended from his private car, fol lowed by the . other plenipotentiaries, from other cars in front jumped some 90 secretaries, experts, stenographers and other attaches of the delegation. Hun Carry Ovrn Lucc'C- Carrying their own luggage, the Ger mens were quickly engulfed in a crowd of reporters, and the whole lot were bunched into a small waiting-room. Kriend mingled with foe. with results that were sometimes embarrassing, as uen an American correspondent whis pered to a man standing beside him: "They cure do look like boches," to which the other, who chanced to be Trofessor Schuming, one of the pleni potentiaries, replied smilingly: "Do you think so?" In the waitln-room Colonel Henry, the French officer in chrage of ar rangements for the delegates, intro duced M. Chaleil, prefect of the Seine-rt-Oise department, to Count Rantzau. M. Chaleil saluted the count courteously but coldly and eaid simply: "I have the honor of meeting you on your arrival In Versailles." The count bowed stiffly and mur mured his thanks. The chief German plenlpotenaiary In formed the World correspondent that the trip from Germany had been un eventful. Devastation Scenes Impress. "We have been treated very well no far," he added. He expressed his appreciation of the courtesy and effi ciency of the French officers who had traveled with the delegation from the frontier. 'We traversed the war stone," ob served Fritz Max Cohen, the count's confidential eecretary, "and we were deeply impressed with the scenes of devastation which we beheld." Without further ceremony, the prin cipal German envoys took seats in French military automobiles, which were to carry them to the Hotel des Renervoirs, where they will be quar tered. The rank and file of the dele gation, among whom were two young women, made the short run to Ver sailles from Vaucressen in automobiles. As the hour and place of arrival of the Germans had been kept secret, there were crowds anywhere along the route and the streets about the hotel were kept clear by a cordon of soldiers. ITALY HINTS FOR OFFER (Contlnuid Prom First V ipe ) tion to its former agreeable status in the conference. ROME, April 30. (By the Associated Tress.) American Ambassador Thomas Kelson Parge had a long interview on the situation today with Premier Orlan do and .Foreign Minister Sonnino, after which he sent a telegraphic report to Paris, giving a full account of the point of view of the Italians and the Italian government. Rome Hopes for Offer. . The hope is expressed in government circles here that Thomas Nelson Parge, the American ambassador to Italy, has offered his good offices to Premier Or lando with a view to finding a solution of the Adriatic difficulty. ROME, April 30. (Havas.) The Rome newspapers in commenting on Premier Orlando's speech before; the parliament and the vote of confidence In his government declare that now the Italian people and parliament have voiced their solidarity with the govern xnent it remains only for the entente to revise Its decision regarding the Adriatic adjustment. .Senate Votes Confidence. The view taken is that President Wll fon appealed to the Italian people and now they have given their answer and that is bound to have its effect upon bis attitude. ROME, April 29. (By the Associated Press.) Premier Orlando's government received a unanimous vote of confid ence in the Italian Senate tonight, fol lowing the vote of confidence given him by the house of Deputies. A great demonstration followed the premier's address before the senate. Premier Orlando's work at the peace conference in Paris also received vin Hication In the Chamber of Deputies tonight, when a vote of confidence was given him, 3S2 to 40. The opposing Ballots were cast by the Intransigcant socialists. The premier laid before parliament the details of his demands for Fiume and the Dalmatian ooast districts. Orlando Opposes Wilson. - In discussing the American memo randum, which was handed to him April 14, and which was distributed among the members of parliament to day by the premier, Sigrior Orlando aid: "Inasmuch as this memorandum de nied Italy's rights over the Dalmatian islands, accorded only Incomplete lib erty to Fiume and. even went so far as to break up tho unity of Istria, I told Mr. "Wilson it was impossible for me to agree to peace on the conditions indi cated. I added that under such condi tions, the Italian delegation felt it could not continue to participate in the conference with any benefit for others or dignity for Italy, but said I would communicate witn representatives of the allied powers with which Italy was bound by special agreements. "President Wilson showed regret from such a hypothesis, adding he would endeavor to prevent it. He said lie thought it opportune that France and England should undertake to find means of conciliation, while he would have the question re-examined to see if further concession could be made. "The Italian delegation did not main tain an obstinate attitude, but co-oper- I ated in efforts to find a way to concili ation. It was anxious not to delay Rcace and to avoid compromising the union of the allied peoples. It was con tinuing patiently to seek a means of conciliation and was discussing the subject with the British premier when the presidential message appeared." This new fact seemed to the Italian delegatior?of enormous gravity, as it made public a dissension which was confined inside the conference. Be sides making statements addressed to the sentiment and will of peoples in general, and therefore to the Italian people, the full authority and there fore the prestige of the Italian dele gates was doubted just in the decisive hour when it was most needed. Addressing himself to the attitude of Italy at the peace conference and the justice of her demands, the premier continued: Appeals for Aid Vorgotten. "Italy did not measure her sacrifice by the letter of her treaty with the allied powers and did not ask for help when she had to withstand the shock of the Austrian army. There she only did her duty, as the allies have done, but that fact transformed friendship into blood fellowship, and it was in that sense that Italy appealed to the allied peoples and governments. "The question of Fiume was not first brought forward by Italy, but by a thrilling act of spontaneous will which began with the declaration of'Fiume's representative in the Hungarian par liament and which was subsequently confirmed when Fiume proclaimed her self an Italian town. "Can our nation remain inert and unmoved by the vehement and despair ing appeal of this people, whose blood is of our blood? "No! Premier Orlando reiterated that the treaty of London did not prevent the allies from considering the Fiume question from the Italian viewpoint and that, moreover, the allies had ad mitted they were in no wise bound re garding J Fiume, since they considered themselves capable of agreeing to the freedom of the city. "It is our desire to remain loyal to the alliance," he said, "for the sake of the solemn pledge which binds our word of honor and for the holiness of blood shed in a common cause." He paid tribute to the allied soldiers, continuing: "The allies of yesterday must be the allies of today, and all their peoples, above all the American people who sacrificed themselves for the victory of an ideal, must remain at the helm to gether in the tie of loyal friendship. "Obeying the supreme command of the Italian government and realizing the solemnity of the houV I affirm be fore this parliament that Italy is ani mated by all that spirit of conciliation whieji is compatible with the unavoid able exigencies of national conscience and dignity. ith the same sincerity. I say that cannot determine in this difficult moment in what forms or by what means we can reach that object be cause in the last solemn conversation that occurred April 24, there arose a difference, not only regarding our point of view, but also between that of our allies and our associated power. Mualon Drrmtd Difficult. 'Therefore, in the present state of affairs. Italy is not facing solution in which the allied and associated govern ments agreed with an insurmountable measure of agreement. Nor is there a proposal of compromise upon which all are agreed, but instead she is facing a uirierence or opinion which virtually denies the actual possibility that epe cial territorial conditions reserved to Italy can be contained in the peace treaty accepted by all the allied and associated powers. The members of the government and of the Italian delegation await your verdict with serene hearts. With serene hearts the people also await events."
