PEACE CONFERENCE IN
IT'S FINAL STAGES

(By Associated Press)
The stage is rapidly being set for
the final phase of peace negotiations.
Yesterday the peace conference ap-
proved the covenant of the League OF
Nations while today Germany's plen-
ipotentiaries are expected to arrive at
Versailles to join the members OF
their mission already there.
, Some points in the peace treaty are
vet unsettled but it is believed they
will be disposed of by the weeks end.
The italian situation apparently
waits on the opening of the Italian
parliament today when Premier Or
lando is expected to lay Italy's claims
to Fiume and the >Dalmatian Coast
before it, together with President
Wilson's pronouncement.
Meanwhile a semi-oficial view is
that Italy will not withdraw from the
peace conference but merely suspend
participation in other fields.
Dispatches indicate German gov,
ernment troops are encircling Munich
The Rumanian attacks against the
soviet army in Hungary are making
progress and the withdrawal o1
Americans from most Of the front
line positions in Northern Russia i:
ported.
Covenant of League Adpoted.
The revised covenant of the League
of Nations was adopted by the plen
ary session of the peace conference
without division and without amend
ment. The covenant had been moved
by President Wilson.
The President, in his speech ex
planning the revised covenant of ths
League of Nations, said that Sir Eri'
Drummond of Great Britain had beer
named as the first Secretary Genera
of the League.
Regarding the composition Of tn
executive council, the President salt
that Belgium, Brazil, Greece, ant
Spain would be represented on tn
Council in addition to the five grea
powers, until a permanent choice ha'
been made.
