(Continued from Page One) was compelled to cover Wilson'« name on his sign with a tarpaulin. Signor Colosimo, minister of col onies. held a long conference with King Victor Emanuel this morning and re turned to lunch with the king. Prince Colonna, mayor of Rome, Is sued the following proclamation: ITALIANS PROUD "The country will declare it can not be separated from the government. The American nation, for whom we cherish the most sincere affection will appreciate the justification of uphold ing our sacred rights." Telegraphing from Fiume, Gabriel D'Annunzio said: "l was never prouder of being an Italian. Of all our heroic hours, this is truly the most solemn. There is nothing greater in the world than this Italy which does not fear to remain alone, opposed to everybody. With her strength multiplied by the sacrifices of the lean days, Italy today is great and pure in the midst of so much allied baseness, hatred, bartering and lies. "The allies are iniquitous, ungrateful and forgetful. We must thank God, who exalts us, that we are worthy of this supremo trial, having had the great honor of exposing the false idol at whose feet we onco all knelt. Now repeat the Plave motto: " 'Do not surrender an inch.'" WILSON FAILS A member of parliament, known for his democratic ideas, was interviewed by the Tempo today. "President Wilson's attempt to set the Italian public against its government has failed, thanks to Premier Orlando's reply," he said. "The echo of the demonstrations in every city Will tell Wilson that he deceived himself in believing the majority of the people will en dorse his attitude." Deputy Federsoni, writing in the Idea Nazionale, pointed out that while France again obtains Alsace-Lorraine, the Saar basin, Syria and valuable German colonies, while Great Britain grabs Mesopotamia, Central Africa and retains control of the seas, without rousing Wilson's ire, Wilsçn suddenly finds that Italy's moderate demands constitute imperialism." ITALIAN PRESS COMMENTS. San Francisco, April 26.—Of the two big Italian dailies here, L'ltalla has thus far avoided an editorial state ment on the Fiume question. La Voce FopolOi however, has been outspoken. Del Popolo today declares that "We must not forget the president has shown himself to be in good faith In all his actions regarding the Kuropean embrogllo." It urges the Italian peo ple be given an opportunity to say whether the attitude of the govern ment Is their attitude. "It is the Italian people who prob ably would have to fight again If the Itallan-Jugo-Slav question remained unsettled," said Del Popolo. BRITISH MAKE PLEA. London, April 26.—The London Press continues to plead for modera tion toward Italy, but an undercur rent of resentment at President Wil son's methods has appeared. ''Orlando's action and statement were natural and dignified in the face of Wilson's brusqueness," said the Chronicle. The News regarded Orlando's reply as a "fair retort" to Wilson. "Tho statement unfortunately was issued in a manner calculated to arouse strong resentment," the Tele graph declared. Under the caption "diplomatic rabies" the Express violently attacked the American president for "rushing in with a red flag at the moment dif ferences were to be settled." AMERICA FEELS (Continued from Page One.) Orlando will in effect ask the Ital ian people to choose between their government and President Wilson. A vote of confidence will enable him to return to Paris and renew his demand for Fiume under threat of annexation or to order annexation of that city without the formality of returning. Failure to pain a vote of confidence will mean his overthrow and a victory for Wilson bearing out the latter's con tention that the peoples are more powerful than governments. COMMENT WITHHELD No official comment could be ob tained on the visit to Italian headquar ters yesterday of Ambassador Matsul, Japanese representative in France. Rumors persisted, however, that there is a possibility of co-operation between Italy and Japan in pressing their ter ritorial claims. There also was believed to be a pos sibility that Japan would again raise the racial equality issue in some form at the plenary session of the conference Monday. In addition to taking up the revised covenant of the league of na tions, the conference then will con sider the report of the responsibilities, commission and amendments to the report of commission on international labor legislation. WILSON LOOKED TO. Chicago, April 26.—"If Italy la ever awarded Fiume and the Dal matian coast it will bo robbing Jugo-Slavia of Its only hope of commercial life." declared the Jugo-Slavian and United Serbian. Chicago's Crotian and Serbian daily, editorialy, today! "Serbia and Croatia never agreed to tho pact of London,' 'the editorial said, "and Jugo-Slavia newspapers decried the document when, at the time of the Russian revolution, the secret treaty became known. "Fiume, neither now nor ever be longs to the Italians. The city's name of Rieka, given it by its Croatian founders, was changed by the Italians. Now they claim that the city has a majority population of Italians. As a matter of fact the city and country surrounding are 97 per cent Jugo Slnvic and only 8 per cent Italian and other nationalities. "Jugo-Slovakla will leave the mattsr in President Wilson'e hands. "America is In the right because, while wanting nothing for her self, she seeks to tear down the < evils of secret diplomacy and up hold rights of small states." John R. Balandech, editor, asserted Italy has not only sent thousands of Italians to Dalmatia, but also has at tempted to force native Croats, Slaves and Serbs to vote for Italian domination.

Washington, April 26.—Flighty per cent of the Victory Loan buyers nre taking notes bearing 4% per cent In terest, according to unofficial esti mates at the treasury department to day. The notes having an interest rate of 3«i per cent are finding few purchasers. Subscribers for notes of (he higher Interest rate, however, are buying large quantities, the figures show. The war loan officials pointed out that the tremendous number of sub scribers for notes of the higher in terest rate, compared with buyers of the 3•'54 per cent rate, gave satisfac tory evidence of a. wide distribution. Reports from nil federal reserve dls-' tricts show, officiais said, that average subscription in tho present campaign Is not os large, comparatively, as In previous loans. But they believed the results shown thus far were more m. vorable for the government and tho bond buyers. In that a stable market price for tho notes appears likely. Tho lower Interest rate makes the S3i per cent notes distinctly a 'rich man's bond." according to Louis B. Franklin, director of the war loan or ganization. He declared that unless a buyer of government securities could afford to absorb the low Interest notes In quantities upward of *500,000 the difference is more than sufficient to offset federal Laxes applicable to the incomes of most holders of the notes.

UNIVERSITY MEN DIF.FER ON PROFESSORS''UNION Chicago, April 26.—Two university heads In Chicago today took opposite views regarding the formation of a union by professors of the University of Illinois. Dr. Harry Pratt Judson, University of Chicago, said tersely, "j don't care to discuss the question. In fact, I don't want to take any notice of the matter." Dr. Thomas F. Holgate, Northwest ern university, said he didn't eeo any harm in college professors forming a union. "If, as it is stated, the union was formed to permit freedom of expres sion by the professors, I can readily see its use," he said. "Of course, pro fessors can abuse a union like any other body of men. Conducted prop erly, much good can coma of |t. If conducted Improperly much harm can be done." Over n suggestion that a strike for higher wages might eventuate, Dr. Holgate laughed. "Well, It would not be the worst thing in the world,' he said.
