Signor Orlando. and Baron Sonnino returned to Paris on Wednesday,
in time to represent Italy when the German dele- gates were summoned to the Peace Conference. It is rumoured that a compromise has been reached on the question of Fiume. The port is to be administered by Italy under a mandate for ten years. Meanwhile another port will be constructed for the Southern Slays. When the now port is finished, Fiume will become an Italian possession. The difficulty in regard to Klee. ehau and the Shantung railways. has been settled in favour of Japan. The Allies had agreed last year that Japan's Treaty of 1915 with China should hold good. President Wilson has followed their lead. Japan, after acquiring all Germany,, Treaty rights in China under the Peace Treaty, will then modify them by agreement with the Chinese Governmeut.
