Paris. April 21-The Italian parlia-
ment, which was to have met Wednes-
day OF this week, will not convene ,ln-
til Tuesday. May 8, according to dis
patches from Rome.
This postponeinent was caused by
the failure of the council of four of

any solution, of the problem raised by
Italy's claims to, Fiume ard the Dal-
nation coast.

nto the war on the side of the En-
ente. We're in conference. President
Wilson was not present.
Wilson Not Present.
Tt was also announced that Presi-
lent Wilson was not present during
conversations opened this morning.
Mr.. Wilson stood ont against the
treaty Of London on which Ttaly's ter
.itorial claims are based and his alb
;ence from the meeting yesterday was
probably caused by this fact. Italy
sought to invoke the convention in sup
)ort of her territorial claims.
Germany DisObeys.
In spite of the warming sent Ger
many by the peace conference that her
delegates must not be merely messen-
gers, Germany has selected rather un-
important persons to go to Versailles.
Dispatches from Paris reflect rather
positively the attitude on the part OF
the peace conference, when it is said
that the men sent to Versailles must
nave power to sign the treaty of peace.
Vienna is in the hands of soviet ad-
herents. 1t appears that the transmits
sion of authority was brougt about
without great discord or bloodshed.
Munich is probably still in the hands
of the soviet, but government troops
