Former Governor Oakley c. Curtis
was asked last evening. says the
Portland Sunday Telegram, relative to
a rumor which was more or less per-
sistent yesterday on the street to the
effect that he would be a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
[ nited States Senate at the State pri-
n1aries in June
Il haven't heard anything about it
was the ex-(4overnor's prompt reply.
have other Things 10 attend to just
now
When asked if there was truth in
the report he would neither affirm nor
deny the report. Il have nothing to
say. was his terse answer.
The report seemed to have some
substantial foundation, coming from
one who has been more or less close TO
the former Governor in his political
activities and plans. Ex-Governor
Curtis's name has been mentioned
many times in the political gossip in
connection with the United States
Scnatorship, and not a few who com
mented claimed that they knew that
he was favorable TO the idea if not
even wistfully looking III that direc-
ton But nothing in the form Of an
announcement has come from him,
and whether the flashes Of rumor
serve to indicate anything cannot be
judged from anything that the ex-
Governor will say.

There will be no decision with resp g.,

derstood to favor its dependence:
There is considerable uncertainty
when the European Allied armies Will
be demobilized. In this connection, an
Allied diplomat said to-day:
"They cannot be demobilized until
after the terms of the, armistice with
Germany and Austria Hungary shall
have been completely carried out. Tur-
key and Bulgaria will exercise very
little influence on the matter, as they
are helpless and wholly at the disposal
Of the powers.
"Then, after the armstice terms are
executed, it will be necessary to keep
large military forces in the field, not
merely as guarantees that the peace,
terms will be fulfilled by Germany and
Austria Hungary, but also because of
the. probability that they will be need
ed to rees tablish order and government

"Finally, there is a danger of Boil

ders in the Scandinavian countries, lIol-

sidered advisable to maintain sufficient
military strength to police all Europe
if necessary, in the interests of the

New-York tribune., 1918-11-19

Under which peace is to be concluded.
There is absolutely no question that
the determining powers will be those
OF the Ehtente-Great Britain. France
! and Italy-and the United States. 1t is
most likely, diplomat said, that the
decisions reached by these powers will
be submitted to the conference, and
that there will he no question then,
after submiss ion. of their adoption.
1t was considered not improbable
that discussions which are to be car
ried on between the Allied govern
mcnts and America during the con-
ference will be equally as important
as those at the peace conference itself,
and that such governmental exchanges
will greatly facilitate the work of the
conference. as the delegates tC it at
all times will be obliged to carry out
| the instructions of their respective
governments.
1t was learned authoritatively that
many territorial questions have al
ready been proven to be so difficult of
solution that no agreement upon them
Will be reached before the conference
meets, and that there must be "com-
promise and concilation, accomm0-
datlon and reorientation" at the con-
ference.
Extreme care is to be taken to pre-
vent the "centrifugal forces" at work
already among the nations, from dis
turblng the spirit Of concord which it
is the wish of the powers shall prevail
at the conference. 1t is not expected
that any nation will resign any claim
willingly, but will have always in view
its best material interests.
Evidence of an intention to consoli-
date its claims, which are regarded as
undebatablc on the part of every AL
he'd government, has already been re-
ceved here
1t was furnished first il the an
nouncement of Great Britain and
France of their disposition of Meso-
potama and Syria; by France in the
creation OF administrations for Alsace-
Lorraine; and intelligence was OBJ
tanned to-day that Italy is meditating
the establishment of Italian admins
tra5'ons IN Trieste, Trentino, Gorilla
and Bolzano. which are to become new
Italian provinces. 1t is unlikely
Italian administration will be provided d
tor Dalmatla. concerning which Italy's
claims clash with those of other in.
terested parties. until after the peace
conference decides upon the final dis
position or the eastern shore of the
Northern Airlatic, together with the
islands off the Dalmatian coast,
Albanian Issue Up
In regard to Trieste, Trentino, Go
rlzla and Bolzano, it is understood that
italy takes the same view as France
toward Alsace Lorraine and Serbia
toward Bosnia Herzegovina. Italy will
abide by the principle which the con-
terence follows in regard to Alsace-
Lorraine IN respect Of the so-called
, "undisputed territory" If there is no
plebscite in Alsace- Lorraine, a proposi-
ton which the French governmen NJ
holds to be outside the sphere of dis
cussion, Italy will submit to none in
the territories of Italia lrredenta
The Albanian question also is caus.
ing international discussion. italy

London but the Italian government
