Mullin Club t Fight for City League Pennant The Mullin club will actively enter into the lists for the baseball cham- pionship of Casper this summer, ac- cording to the announcements made yesterday by H. L. Chamberlin, who will manage the interest of the or- ganization during the summer season. What is troubling Mr. Chamberlin most at the present time is the com- parative lack of material for a high class nine. Ball players who desire to connect with the organization should list their application at an early date. The first practice game will be held at the high school athletic grounds Sunday afternoon. The preliminary tryout of the new material will be held Friday afternoon. After the or- ganization is perfected the Mullin club team will immediately start lay- ing its plans to capture the city cham- pionship honors. en One of the very earliest of women writers mentioned by historians was Mary of France, who. in the 13th century, versified the old traditionary tales of Armorica into those Lays of the Romance language, of which the manuscript still exists among the ear- liest specimens of romanti¢ fiction. pledges.

The residence district development is not confined to any individual sec- | tion of the city but is the most wide- | spread in extent of any general build- jing plan ever seen in Casper. One of the most extensive indivi- dual enterprises that will be under- 'taken in Casper this summer, is planned, by Ben Scherck, who plans to erect 30 houses of choice appoint- |ment on a new plot that has been tentatively included in the city limits |at the southeast end of Casper. The total cost of this undertaking will be in the neighborhood of $200,000. The houses planned by Mr. Scherck will be modern in every re- svect, will have five large rooms on the main floor, full basement and other requisites of the modern prop- erty owner. Plans for the work have already been perfected and the carrying out of the proposed improvement is all that remains. When granted the right to have the vicinity plotted, Mr. Scherck made a verbal promise to the city council that nearly a quarter of a million would be spent in improve- ments on the property before fall. Other company and individual en- terprises are already under way to relieve the congestion in Casper, in- dicating the probability that before the end of the summer Casper will come into its own as the undisputed leading and largest city of Wyoming. GIANT POLE TUSSLES WITH SAVAGE 4 HOURS WITHOUT GETTING FALL GALVESTON, Tex., April 24.— Steve Savage held Waldek Zbyzko to no fall in a four-hour wrestling bout here last night. 5 Announcement of the British Premier Is Construed to Show Improvement PARIS, April 24, aa ithoush the Italian delegation to the peace conference announced this morning its intention of withdrawing, it was declared this afternoon by Premier Lloyd George that the Italians would not leave Paris today. Whether the entire Italian delegation would not go, or whether he had succeeded in inducing Premier Orlando to remain was not developed. Premier Lloyd George’s decla- ration, however, was construed to indicate slight improvement in the situation. (By Annoctated Press.) PARIS, April 24.—Premier Orlando issued a statement to- day replying to President Wil- son, in whic © premier stated in so many words that he is compelled to withdraw from the peace conference after President Wilson’s action, which is regarded as a departure from diplo- matic custom and leaves the Italians no other course. 4 King Victor Emmanuel telegraph- ed Orlando commending his action and insisting that there be no reces- sion from the position Italy has taken. It was stated today in Italian head- quarters that should the break be- come definite, Italy would take steps to approach Germany with a view to making a separate peace. It was announced today that the parliament of Italy would meet im- mediately upon Orlando’s return, probably within a day or two. Pre- liminary -instructions already have been telegraphed to Rome. Premier Lloyd George called on Orlando before the council met this morning. He is endeavoring to ob- tain a change in the Italian position. After the visit was ended it was stated that the Italian premier had postponed his departure from Paris until 8 o’clock this evening. LONDON, April 24.—‘A thypder- bolt,’t ‘‘a bomb. ghell,”*‘‘an appeal to Caesar,” areeamong the descriptive expressions used by the newspapers situation. as creating a serious situation. PARIS, April 24.—Italian military matia and other Adriatic territory named in the pact of London with 100,000 men, it was stated today by Captain Pozzi of Premier Orlando's staff. A similar force will be sent to the northern region and around Fiume. In the meantime, Pozzi said, it would be the purpose of the Italians to convoke parliament in special ses- sion and secure from that body pass- age of a measure providing for the annexation of Dalmatian and other eastern Adriatic territory given Italy by the London agreement and also of Fiume. Reports here have been re- ceived, the captain added, that a military demonstration by the Jugo- Slavs at Spalato was contemplated, in which event the Italians would take proper counter measures. ROME, April 24.—Record break- ing demonstrations were held here last night supporting Italian aspirations. Several deputies spoke, demanding Fiume and urging Orlando to with- draw from the eonference unless Italian claims are recognized. An un- confirmed report says that Orlando ordered military protection of the American embassy and consulates for fear of violence. LISBON, April 24.—The Portugese government has decided to establish a national eight-hour work day, start- ing June 1. VERSAILLES, Apr. 24.—Prepara- tions for the German delegates in- clude a long six-foot wall from their headquarters to the Hall of Mirrors, and a guard of svidiers. The Ger- mans will be permitted the use of no other route except this walled path. The horseshoe peace table is com- pleted and is 81 feet long. WASHINGTON, April 24.—A de- cision on whether the secret London pact or President Wilson’s principles will prevail is expected within 24 hours. If the London pact wins out Pres- ident Wilson probably will leave the conference. If the armistic agree- ment signed by all the allies prevails Italy must yield, or quit the con- ference or send new delegates. The situation is regarded here as a definite showdown between the new open diplomacy and the age-old secret statecraft. Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor- nia praised Wilson’s stand.

Orlando and Sonnino attended the big four meeting at 4 o’clock this afternoon. (By Axnocinted Press.) France and Great Britain will make another effort to pre- vent an open break at the peace table. Hope is expressed in dispatches today that some way may still be found to adjust the situation so that Italy will not quit the conference at 2 o’clock today as threatened. The situation resulting from Italy’s unyielding attitude {over the Dalmation question and np ne » | President Wilson’s public statement, is admittedly grave.
