There were five of us altogether thus favored, but I was the only one owing allegiance to Roger Fairfax. The rude landing w’harf along which we lay was already densely crowded. Altogether it was a bustling scene, full of change and color, the air noisy with shouting voices, the line of wharves filled with a number of vessels, either newly ar rived or preparing to depart. It was with no small difficulty we succeeded in forcing our way through This Jos tling throng until we attained to an open space ashore. I followed closely behind the three composing our party.

Despite the Easter calm, which brought vast crowds to the churches and boulevards, the council of four continued its sessions at the “white house.” The Italian premier, Vitorio Orlando and the Italian foreiga min ister Baron Sonnino, were both pres ent. and made it known that flic open ing of the Italian parliament has necessitated thelc leaving Paris with definite knowledge of what is going to be done. Baron Sonnino continued to occupy the extreme position, insisting upon the Integral fulfillment of the secret treaty of_Ja>ndon. giving to Italy'tha entire Dal mat ton coast and Islands, and also claiming the city of Fiume without internationallation or division with the Jugo-8lavs. Premier Orlando was rather more roacillating. though a telegram which he had received from the heads of tha Italian army declared that the entire army .was behind him la upholding Italy's aspirations It's dean, Sweep, Wash —The Live Long Day!
