DISCUSS ITALIAN
SITUATION MONDAY
Formulating a Program to Present to
Peace Conference

Copyright Gable to Montreal Starr
London, Dec 2.-Today's inter-
Allied conference at Downing street
between Clemenceau, Foch, Orlando
and Sonnino and the leaders of the
British Government is mainly for the
purpose Of formulating definite
Anglo -Frarco-Italian program at the
Paris peace congress. Three princi-
pal topics of discussion, | learn in
an authoritative quarter, will occupy
the attention of the conference after
settling the Italian question and the
exact date of the peace congress in
Paris and Versailles. These topics
are:
1-DiscEssion of the attitude to be
taken toward President Wilson's
views about the freedom of the seas
2.-The status of the former Kaiser
and ways and means of bringing him
Ito justice. Connected with the
Kaiser question will be consideration
of the indcmnities and the reparation
to be exacted from Germany.
3.-Smoothing out the differences
between the Jugo-Slavs and Italy on
the Adriatic. Anglo-French influence
will be exerted in the conference in
the direction of urging Italy to accord
every reasonable concession to Jugo-
Slav aspirations. President Masareh
will be colled into conference if an
emergency arises.
AS neither Col. House nor other
members of the American peace dele
cation could attend the London con-
ference, The United States will not be
represented at the Downing Street
meetings, but President Wilson will
be fully acquainted with the decisions
taken when Mr.. Lloyd George meets
him in the roadstead off Brest ten
days henca.
