GENERAL RESUME OF
PEACE S|TUAT T|ON
By the Associated Press

Premier Orlando's declaration
and the italian delegation at the
peace conference received a vote
of confidence from the Italian par
lament last night The vote in the
chamber of deputies 3S2 to 40 and
in the senate it was unanimous.
What effect this action will have
on the council of three of the
peace conference is probematical.
Paris advices carry the view, how
ever that the return of the Italian
delegation is not expected, for the
present at least and that It IS
planned to proceed with the process
of making peace with Germany re-
gardless of any action by Italy.
Meanwhile, the rival claims of
Japan and China to the former Ger
man fortress or kiao Chau, are re-
ported to have been reconciled.
From a statement made in authori-
tative quarters, according to Il
Paris dispatch, it appears that
plan has been formulated which it
is hoped will prove acceptable both
to China and Japan. What the ma
ture of the proposed solution is re-
mains undisclosed. The question
was under consideration by the
council of three in a long session
with the japanese delegates yester-
day.
The full German delegation which
is to receive the terms of the allies
late this week now is at Versailles.
II is expected that the initial meet
ing will be held Friday, but it may
be found impossible to prepare the
treaty for presentation before Sat
urday.
Belgium's claims for reparation
were presented to the council of
three yesterday, and 1t Is under
stood that grave situation was
outlined as prevailing in that coun-
try. One correspondents report of
the proceedings even went so far as
to say that unless Belgium received
financial aid ii might DE impossible
for the Belgian delegates 10 sign
the peace treaty.
Munich is completely surrounded
by German government troops. and
it seems probable that Il .converg-
ing attack on the soviet forces hold
ing the city may begin at any time.
Heavy columns of Prussians are.
reported TO be engaged in the move
ment.

the T. =. :. California, now under con
struction at the Mare Island navy yard.
4 peculiar feature of both the Tennes'

learned in actual warfare might be in
corporated in the twin ships. Thus the
ship is said to embody the latest ideas
in battleship protection and efficiency.

fcred another if his identity were not
known.
The deputy sheriff reported at the
sheriffs office that He of the flask
had admitted where he got the whis-
key asserting that he had bought 1t
from Andy Robinson at the Sunnyslde
Inn in Old Town. The deputy sheriff
reported that he met the man as he
was leaving the Sunnysice, but Rob
inson was not in the place. He was
found at his home later and arrested,
charged with violation of the prohibi-
ton law.
Rohinson's hearing was set for 10
O'Clock this morning by Justice of the
Peace Mcclellan, before whom he was
arraigned late Tuesday afternoon.
Robinson pleaded not guilty at the
time and was released under bail to
appear at the hearing.

that the man with the flask would be
witness against Robinson.
