Win Germany In a document which
failed to deal with Italys interests in
Austria.
Pressure From Italy
The movement for a single treaty with
all the four powers probably grows out
of Premier Orlandos strong opposition
to such omission in the first treaty OF
clauses dealing with Italy's interests.
The plan has not yet been finally deter
mined upon and it may meet with OBJ
jections, but the tendency is toward its
acceptance.
1t is stated that the fact that the
United States is not at war with Turkey
or Bulgaria has raised no objection to
the plan
President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd
George, Clemenceau and Orlando will
resume at the Paris white House to-
day their series OF conferences which is
expected TO continue until the most i'm
portant questions which have been de-
laying the work of the Peace Confer
ence are cleared up The differences
of opinion which have developed since
the return of Mr. Wilson to Paris
are being considered fully and frankly
and determined effort is being made
IN the interest of an early peace to
reach an agreement on broad lines.
IL was learned today that the govern
ment had opened an inquiry into the
manner in which the French press had
been enabled to keep so closely in touch
with the doings of the supreme council
The President and the Premiers- held
al f-Gt
at | o'clock in the morning and con-
tnuing into the evening. This super
council, it is expected, will smooth over
many of the difficulties facing the su-
preme council.
The session was held at the French
War Office. Late in the afternoon.
Marshal Foch and Major General
Thwaites, representing the British staff
in the place of General Wilson. were
called in. The Premiers and the Presi-
dent considered advces just received
about the military situation in Russia.
Total Indemnity Uncertain
In the absence of official communicates,
the public has learned little about the
meeting of the Premier and the Presi-
dent, but there is reason to believe
that reparatlon for war damages was
the first serious problem they sought
10 solve. All the data on the British,
French and American positions on THIS
question was before them at the meet
ing Tuesday. 1t is understood that the
data showed an agreement on virtually
all features except the total amount
which the experts were unable to agree
upon. Even the textual draft of the
reparation articles of the peace treaty
are ready, with a blank space waiting
for the insertion of the amount.
After settling the reparations ques-
ton, the Premiers and the President will
consider the remaining main obstacle
the FranCo-German frontier along the
Rhine. With these questions determined
the American delegation believes that
a prompt conclusion of the peace treaty
can be accomplished
Revision Step by Step
Such an expectation as concluding the
treaty by the end of the present week
is doubted, owing TO the extensive
amount Of drafting work after the main
questions are settled in principle. The
drafters are steadily at work, while
the super-council is in session and each
step Of progress is followed Immediately
by the completion of the articles of the
treaty.
The same process Is being carried
on with the draft of the covenant of
the league of nations, which, in addition
TO being amended, will be rewritten so as
to combine clearness with the dignity of
notable state documents.
Hungarian Situation Up
During the day the Hungarian revolt
and it's effect IN bringing BolsheSism
into central Europe was also, without
doubt, examined, as experts had pre-
pared a huge map showing the vast
extent of Bolshevk authority. which now
embraces virtually half of Europe. On
this map heavy red lines mark the outer
limits of Bolshevik authority with red
arrows showing the main avenues OF ad-
vance westward. This line around Rus
sia takes in Hungary and shows Bolshe
vik infection in parts of Ukraine, Lithu-
ania and other independent sections OF
Russia.
The premiers also had access TO re-
ports showing the extent of disorders
in all sections of eastern Europe, in
Guiding private reports of a grave char
acter concerning regions in ths south
eastern part of the continent and around
Odessa which have not as yet been
made public.
NJ Bratiano, the Rumsnian Premier,
speaking of events in eastern Europe,
expressed the view that Bolshevism
might soon extend to Serbia, because Of
race relationship with Russia, and to
Slavonia and Croatia because of con-
nections with Hungary
An American amendment to protect
nations against the influx of foreign
labor was adopted yesterday by the
league of nations commission. 1t affl-ms
