View Is Based on - Assumption
Italy Will. Remain, Firm in De
termination ; Not to Resume
Negotiations at Peace Table.
Orlando Gets Great Ovation on
His Arrival in Rome1, Where
He Will Make Statement Mon
day to Parliament Members
By Fred 8. Ferguson
PARIS, April 2a.(U. P.) The
allies, according to authorl- .
tatlve information tonight, are
preparing-, to make peace with
Germany without Italy's signa-;
ture. ;:V;H':v.:"f f .t " - -
This " attitude was said "to be
ba'sed ' on ' the assumption that'
Italy remains firm In her Inten
tion . not to participate further
in the peace conference;: Should
the Italians decide to resume ner
gotiations, matters. will stand,
just where they, did when Italy ;
" withdrew. At that time the
British' and French were reported
to ba Villing td stand by the
pact of London which gives Italy.,
the Dalmatian coast, but.; not ,
' Fiume. ' ' . ... ". ' - ' ?
Th French and British are undratood
to hold the viewpoint that the agreement
iiot to make a separate,,rpeace con
tained In the London pact, really p
pi;ed only ; during the -war, and bound
in signatories to keep ' up hostili
ties with Germany untft she waa beaten.
Tills has now been accomplished -and
the nations concerned in the pact are
a;tually free to' do-as they wish re
ThrdinK signlnx a peace with Germany,
s. f:.r as the pact Is concerned.
ORAITDOS WOBD :A WAITED . '
Premlei Orlando, who arrived In Rome
phortJy before noon today, is. expected
to out the Issue squarely up to the IU1-
l.in parliament when he , goes before
tbat body Monday.
He probably swlii outline his stand In
the conference and '-will ask a vote ot
confidence. Upon the verdict will de
pend Italy's future course. -If his min
istry is sustained, he will be in a. po
st' ion to return to Paris and renew
his demand for Flume, under threat of
seising- the seaport forcibly or r even
to seise Flume without the -formality
of resuming relationship with the al
lies. 'r If the vote goes against him. he
must retgu U. make -way for another
pr'me minister, possibly Signor Bisso
lstu who recently - resigned - from the
cabinet, ostensibly in protest against
the annexationist program of Orlando
and Foreign Minister Sonnino.
MAT TALK COMFK09II8E
. Another, view of Orlando's attitude was
contained in reports circulated tonight.
These reports had It that he left for
Rome convinced that Flume could not
be, secured and recognising the Amer
ican. British and French arguments lo
the extent of preparing to present them
fairly to his parliament. He is said to
have declared just before he departed
that he was going to address parliament
In support of the compromise offered
by the "big three" Instead of asking for
support of his demand for Flume. .
The Italian government, however, has
built up a tremendous propaganda in
Italy in agitating -annexation of Flume,
until it has become a national Issue. Or
lando, In case he actually supports a
compromise, must face the sentiment his
Own government "has created and ' en
deavor to swing thOk people into line on
the compromise. ;
KETCBIT IS OTATIOKT
It was learned today that Orlando
carried with him a statement by Pre
mier Lloyd George and Premier Clemen
ceau outlining their: position on the
question of Italian . territorial claims.
He was said to be free to publish this if
he desires. While this statement was
not made public, it was believed to con
tain an outline of the compromise on

Burleson Scored
By Labor Leader
As Out of Tune
With Americans
Samuel Gompers Says Troubles
of PostmasterGeneral Due to :
"Autocratic Nature."
MEW YORK. April 2. (V. P-)-r-Char-
t ; acterislng Iostmaster General Bbr
leeoij as an "archaic autoccat," Samuel
Gompers, president of f the -;, American
Federation of Labor. In a prepared state
ment tonight declared that all the poet
master general needed was a wider field
and a better opportunity to fit himself
for succession of some of the world's
best known but unlamented x-dictators.
r The troubles of the postmaster general.
Gompers asserted, were not the result of
a -plot ' or conspiracy . on the part
of large American publishers, as Burle
son charged, "but of Burleson's auto
cratic nature," the most recent example
of which is his seizure of telegraph lines
and his treatment of those with whom
he lias, come in contact In the labor
movement. , ,
"Labor was long ago forced to the
conclusion that Burleson was completely
out of sympathy with the trend of Amer
ican thought," said Gompers. "He is
totally unable to comprehend what
America meant when it declared, war
upon autocracy everywhere."
Gompers asserted that time after time
postal employes had sought to lay their
grievances before Burleson through their
representatives. These pleadings have
been as vain as they were frequent, he
said.
"My own experiences with Burleson
have been of a similar nature," he add
ed. "It has been a favorite pose of the
postmaster general to appear as a high
minded person, generous ,- and sympa
thetic with his employes. Always, how
ever, this sympathy has been defined
to mean that whenever an employe had
anything to present to him, he might
feel free to do so.
"In the case of the postoffice depart
ment,, however," the employes are scat
tered all over the United States and such
an attitude as that assumed by the post
master general becomes not only ridicu
lous and preposterous, but constitutes
an affront and an insult to the Intelli
gence of the men and women In his de
partment, and to the country as well."

the characterization employed in Amer

had .not - indorsed President Wilson's
statement clarifying the Italian situa

Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau.
President Wilson asserted that the is
suance of his manifesto- was necessary
unless the Italians were willing t to
Changs their tactics ' and recede from
the threats that they would secede from
the peace conference. . The' president's
statement received Premier Lloyd

GRAND OLD SHIP-

. by Official Reception Uorh -mittee
This Morning.
Lying in wait for the official recep
tion this morning, the grizzled old TJ. S.
S. f Oregon dropped anchor Just at ths
mouth 'of, the Willamette' in her horns
state, at 6:1T Saturday venlng.
The 'Oregon becomes . the center T of
Portland's interest shortly after 9 o'clock
this morning When a delegation of more
than 100 citizens will go to her moorings
aboard the steamer Lrtirllne and smaller
boats of an Impromptu mosquito fleet to
welcome the old battler and her offi
cers and men to the vessel's home. The
Iurline, leading a convoy of river, craft,
will ;Jeave the -' foot : of - Alder street
promptly at 9 o'clock for, the official' re
ception. , : 7 ' . , j . ; '
Squatting proudly like "a -hen ..on her
nest, the veteran fighter," the grand old
"Bulldog of the Navy", that won laurels
in the war with Spain and perpetuated
them by service as ; training ship during
the late war. Ilea in peaceful waters,
where the "mosquito fleet" wlll greet
her this morning.
Clean .and shipshape, even though her
rudder, t as : they ' say, skidding ao . that
occasionally -the crew has to paddle her
stern to swing: the ship , and get her
pointed, in the right direction, she is fit
to. be the cc tec of a reception.
IfATION WAS THBILI.ED
She was In her '-prime when she made
her historic dash from the Pacific coast
to Santiago de Cuba In 1898. Swinging
In from a 14,500,-mile Jaunt, she stepped
into the fray and spat fire from her 13
inch rifles, i which : were monsters in
those days.- "' ' ' '
Just as a matter of keeping up the
Fourth of July spirit, she 1 waded , into
Admiral de Cervera's little boathouse on
the isle of Cuba. When the aun smiled
over the country "back heme on-' July
4, 1898, the nation was thrilled with the
story of : how she sent the Chrlatobal
Colon to a watery grave. c 't ' :
Snapping to attention with a" slight
creak when war was declared with Ger
many, she again served Old Glory proud
ly, though not so- heroically this time.
Part ' of ths time during the war ' she
served aa.a convoy ship taking-supplies
to Vladivostok- For the last year " or
more she put in her time ss a training
ship, -turning out i an average of about
100 ready "Jack tars" " a month - to enter
the convoy service through the subma
rine zone. - - '
"She's a little out-of-date." remarked
her executive officer, Wilson E. Madden,
"but she's given good service all the way
through, and she's something the people
of Oregon may well be proud of." - -
