[•v- (Seed. 1.40 a.m.) PARIS, April 25, k . The newspapers almost unanimously disapprove of Mr. Wilson's untimely manifesto. Le Journal de- ?■ - scribes the incident as a crisis, add- | ing : " The bridges are down." The j£. Matin states that Mr. Wilson's |';" action is inexplicable at a, moment t ; l when, on his advice, the Germans %-. have been invited to Versailles. It |?; is squally inexplicable that the Ger- ■:: mans should be invited' when a seri- £".. ous disagreement is threatening. | The Italian delegates again dis- £ cussed the situation, and are drafts' ing a counter-statement. I Intense feeling prevails through;f out Italy. Vast demonstrations acclaim Signof Orlando, shouting V.- *' Fiume or death." |- l I: RESULTS OP THE CRISIS. il"' % / IMPASSE MOT INEVITABLE. ffri (Received 1.35 a.m.) m■■ ' Hailed Service.
