Details of the procedure to be OBJ
served at the historic meeting Of AL
lied and German representatives at
Versailles a week from Friday, +
being worked out by the Allied dele
cations to the peace conference. It
is improbable that the world will
know the exact demands of the 9
ciated governments until after the
Teutons have been formally apprised
of theAprice of peace. -
It seems, however, that not only all
the Allied governments. but the gov
ernments Of those countries which Sc
vered relations with Germany, but
did not enter the war, will be inform
ed as to the details Of the proposed
treaty. For this purpose it is likely
that a secret plenary session OF the
peace conference will be held before
April 25.

interest the address which Premier
David Lloyd George will make IN the

will do. more than outline in most gen.
eral terms the work that has been
being, it is said, a tacit understand
ing between Mr.. Lloyd George. Presi-
dent Wilson and Premiers Clemen-
ceau and Orlando that no details are
to be made public at present.
The fact that the British premier
has decided to open the debate in the
house Of commons, however, would
appear to indicate his readiness to de-
fend his work at Paris and his. de-
Tense may bring out some Significant
statements.
The council of four, In which Ar
thur J. Balfour, British secretary of
state for foreign affairs, has temper
arily taken the place of Premier
Lloyd George, is devoting itself to ef-
forts to settle the controversy, between
Italy and Jugo-Slavia relative to the
eastern shore Of the Adriatic. In ad-
dition, it is declared in a semi-ohcial
French news agency dispatch that the

of a referendum to theapeople of the
province. <sl
