The Big Three meeting scheduled for this morning was suddenly called off, and it is believed a session will be held this afternoon. The Big Three, which includes, America, France and Great Britain, are confident Orlando will return to the conference or that some other Italian statesman will be substituted for him. Accompanied by Signora Barzilia, the Italian leader departed from Care de Lyon at 10:30 o’clock last evening. Foreign Minister Sonnino, scheduled to leave for Rome today, has post- poned his departure until tonight. General Diaz, commander in chief of the Italian armies, left with Orlando. Italian offi- cers, soldiers and children cheered them and sang the national anthem. Cpnfidence of the allied representatives that Orlando will return or be replaced by another was based on developments at yesterday afternoon’s session of the Big Four which both Orlando and Sonnino attended. Despite Orlando’s statement that the conference was fruit- less and that the Italian delegation is withdrawing as a matter of principle, owing to President Wilson’s statement that Italy terpret the action as a break. ‘Icannot have Figme, the Americans and British refused to in- An official communication was issued declaring that all the conferees displayed the strongest desire to reach a satis- factory solution to the problem and expressed the hope that the Italian parliament will aid in the settlement. From confiden- tial American sources it was learned that Orlando has given his word to the Big Three that he was going home to consult parliament which will be convened immediately. h Ambassador Matsui, Japanese representative in France, was called to Italian headquarters this morning. Cooperation of the Italians and Japanese at this critical time was regarded as deeply significant in view of the similarity of their respectve claims. for Fiume and Shantung peninsula.
