WASH INGTON. April 20. Secre tary Lane today issued a brief state ment explaining, as be said, "one or two matters connected with the Flume situation that should not be overlooked." He said: . . ; "Flume was not to' be given' to Italy by the secret troaty made on Italy's entrance to the -war. called the London treaty. Under this treaty Flumo waa to go to Croatia which Is now a part of Jugo-Slavla. And this is whore President Wilson wishes It to go now. "The question of giving Flume to Italy thus becomes a question of goon judgment, and President Wilson and Premiere Lloyd George and Clehien- ceau unitedly concluded that to give Flumo to Italy would bo unjust to the now republics east of the Adriatic as Flume is the only port on- tho eastern side of the Adriatic which can be serviceable as a sea entrance to Jugo-Slavla and adjoining coun tries. "The Italinn claim is based on Italian desire, not on a'ny right other than the claim that as its people are Italians they should become a part of Italy as they were a hundred years ago.' But to gratify this desire now would bo manifestly to wrong others nnd thus maintain a sore sppt ou the Adriatic which would cause constant Irritation. Italy, with Venice and TrIosto, can live happily and Inde pendently without Flume while the young republics on the east of tho Adriatic could not have a free life without access directly to the world by water." . ;, ." - Saivadorian Minister Dies. - .

' PARIS, April 2. The peace con ference is watching with intense in terest the result of today's develop ments in Rome, where Premier -Orlando arrived this morning and where the events of the day are expected to disclose whether the hopes of recon ciliation can be realized. - Kepofts received here from the American embassy in . Rome are somewhat ominous as to. the general state of public feeling there, as crowds have been parading the streets crying "down With the Amer icans" and "down with the Eng-Hsb!" and "viva Sonnino," the foreign mtn ister who outdid Premier Orlando in pressing the extreme demands made by Italy. ' - - : -. Ileporta Disturbing r' i These reports are particularly dis turbing, as the American and British delegations- to the peace conference are said to have had reason to believe that Premier Orlando might adopt a course before the Italian parliament which would lead to an amicable ad justment. Premier Lloyd George was oartlcularly hopeful that . this would be brought about. . i. :The reports of the popular agita tion at Rome, and many other Italian tenteos. however, have led to fears that the Italian . prime minister's conciliatory-attitude may be swept away in an outburst of feeling by the populace which will insist upon de mands far beyond those the council of powers or President Wilson will feel themselves able to accept. .
