PARIS. May 24.-tlnal settlement or

rial claims on the Adriatic will not he

it was learned from an authoritative
source today.
Progress is being made towards
solution that Will satisfy all parties.
but it is not yet known whether the
conferees will make Fiume free city
under the league of nations or confer
upon Fiume the same regime as applies
TO the Saar Valley.
Premier Orlando is making a final ef
fort to retain. in some measure. Italys
preponderance at Fiume by having
Italian diplomatic and consular repre-
sentatives abroad look after the inter-
ests Of Fiume even though il is made
a free city.
A canvass of the peace delegates leads
to the belief that the plan for a free
city Will eventually be adoptd. but Sig
nor Orlando has expressed his disap-
prevail of the proposed league of nations
supervise the administration of Fumes
affairs. He desires the city and port 10
have full soverei gnty in themselves.
In connection with this same sugges-
ton was the demand that the whole of
the Istrian peninsula be granted to Italy.
In the earlier stages OF the negoti-
atoms President Wilson drew a frontier
line between Italy and Jugo-Slavia i'm
mediately northward from the Arsa
river. When Premier Orlando returned
from Rome he objected that such a
frontier would leave Fiume isolated in
Jugo-Slav territory. He therefore pro-
posed that the border follow line laid
down in the pact of London running
northward from Volosca, which is only
a few kilometers from Fiume
Col. L. NJ House has been represent
ing the United States in these negotia-
tons. When the proposals are crystal
lized and the situation clears, the plan
will be presented to President Wilson for
his approval.
1t is considered probable that Pre-
mier Orlando will give way and viii
make the claim for Italys diplomatic
presentation for FIume.
1t is now virtually certain that the
big Adriatic islands off F'iume viii go to
Jugo-Slavia and only a few smaller
islands to the south. such as Lussin AMI
Unie. Will be given to Italy.
On the Dalmation coast Italy will re-
ceive cara and Sebenico and will be
granted port on LISA island.

PARIS. May 24.-Reports printed from
~fnspired" American sources in the
United states that a number OF the
members Of the American peace dele
CATION have resigned were characterized
in offlcial circles today as contemplate
untruths.
It is true that about half a dozen ex-
perts who have been here assisting

dustries board. are returning 10 the
United States. but their task has been
completed and there is nothing more
for them 10 do. \ majority of the Amer
lean experts will leave just as soon as
the Austrian treaty is completed.
4 notable exception. however IS the
retirement Of DR. Built. former Phila-
delphia newspaper man. who was at
4ached to the American mission in a
minor capacity.
DIR. Built. accompanied by a compan-
ion. was sent into Russia TO invests gate
conditions He met Nicholai Lenine and
Leon Trotsky and gave them assurances
that the United States was friendly.
Upon returning to Paris, DR.. Built
presented a report to President Wilson
characterizing the Russian regime as
trustworthy and declaring that it should
be given assistance. The report denied
stories OF murders BY the Bolsheviks
and insisted that order is being restored.
AS soon as President Wilson received
the report he directed 1t not be pub
lished and demanded an explanation as
TO why DR.. Built and his companion.
both known as radicals. had been en-
trusted with the Russian mission
DR.. Built was very much ehagrined
because his report was not made public
and withdrew from the peace dele gs ton
without any delay.
Since his retirement. DIR. Built has
been insisting that the failure to accept
his Russian report was the gravesr err
ror" on the part OF the president.

PARIS. May 24.-Additional sugges-
tions for changes in the economic de-
mands on Germany were handed TO
President Wilson today BY Bernard y.
Baruch. one Of the leading economic
experts on the American peace mission.
These are additional 10 the sugges-
tions made earlier in the week and it is
expected they will go a long way IN
meeting the objections OF the Germans.
Howver. in this connection. it is mad
plain that the concessions deal with
the methods of payment rather than
reductions.
Members OF the economic commission
said the concessions in question simply
restore the plan TO the original condi-
ton which the Americans proposed at
the outset. At that time the Americans
were hopelessly in the minority. Since
the Germans began their discussions
the French economic experts have com
pletely changed their viewpoint and now
believe the American view necessary.

| ing the cost of production of farm
products. This is a matter of vital
interest to the farmers at the pres
ent time and the fact that Dean John
son recognizes its paramount import
ance and is planning to investigate 1t
promptly and thoroughly, indicates
that he understands and sympathizes
with the demand of the farmers that
they be advised how to make their
farms more profitable as well as how
to make them more productive.
Until the growers and the consum-
ers know what it costs to produce
wheat, it will be impossible for the
producers to secure anything like a
standardized price for their grain. In
the past they have accepted what was
offered by the buyers and spectators,
regardless of whether or not the price
was equal to the cost of production,
to say nothing of a reasonable profit.
They knew that they were not receiv-
ing what they should but the consum-
ers did not know it and cherished a
delusion that the farmers were max
ing big profits and asking exorbtant
prices.
A reliable determination of what it
costs the farmers to produce their
crops will have tendency to stabil-
ize prices. to eliminate bad feeling on
the part of the consumers toward the
producers and to cut down the profits
OF the spectators and middle men.
Dean Johnson is making a fine
start and in the right direction

INTERNATIONAL FARMING

/ An international meeting OF Eng
disappearing farmers is being ar
ranged to take place in London this
autumn to discuss farming and gen
eral agricultural legislation.
Mr.. Charles Simon Barrett, who is
president of the National Farmers
Union of America, and has been es-
pecially delegated to Paris to put the
views of the American farmers be-
fore the American delegates on be-
! half of the National Board of Farm
ers Organizations representing ~
different farmers unions in the
United States, has been having in
tervews in the past few days with
British, American, and French
statesmen on the subject of the eX-
portation of American food and raw
material to Europe.
Mr.. Barrett saw Mr.. Lloyd George
and Mr.. Winston Churchill yesterday
and put before them the position OF
American southern farmers as a re-
suit of the present cotton embargo.
He told the premier that cotton
farmers had huge stocks of cotton
on hand-three times the normal
amount for this time of year-and
seeing that they could not sell and
send their crops to England they
were seriously proposing letting
large areas of land fall out of cult
walton.
The premier and Mr.. Winston
Churchill were, Mr.. Barrett told me
yesterday afternoon, quite sympa-
thetic, but they put before him very
clearly that in their opinion the most
crucial question at the moment was
that of food for the starving masses
of Central Europe.
Mr.. Barrett has seen NJ. Clemen-
ceau. and also the American dele
gates, and has put before them a SER
les of resolutions passed by the Ma
tional Board of Farmers Organiza-
lions at their meeting in Washington
last month. These provide for an in
ternational agricultural program,
and deal with many points, varying
from the Improvement OF the exist
ing International Agricultural Insti-
tute at Rome, and the adoption of
uniform international crop reports,
to the inclusion in the league of ma
tons of a special body having the in
ternational interest of agriculture
directly in its charge.

Peace Terms Proposed by ErzbergeI

Peace Terms Proposed by Erzberge
Germany, in the first place, can
not tolerate the presence on her
frontiers of so-called neutral
states insufficiently strong to pre-
serve their neutrality, or which
do not want to remain neutral.
Her second aim must be to free
herself from the insupportable
leading-strings of England on all
questions of world policy. In the
third place, she must break up
the Russian colossus.
Consequently Germany must
have sovereignty, not only over
Belgium, but the French coast
from Dunkirk to Boulogne, and
possession of the Channel islands.
She must also take the mines in
French Lorraine and create an
African German empire by annex
ing the Belgian and French Kon-
Cos. British Nigeria Dahomey,
and the French west coast.
In fixing indemnities, the ac-
tual capacity of state at the mo-
ment should not be considered.
Besides a large immediate pay
ment, annual instruments spread
over long period could be ar
ranged. France would be helped
in making them by decreasing
her budget of naval and military
appropriations, reductions to be
imposed in the peace treaty be-
ing such as would enable her to
send substantial sums to Ger
many Indemnities would pro-
vide for the repayment of the full
costs of the war and the damages
OF the war, notably in East Prus-
STA; the redemption of all of Ger
many's public debt, and the Gre
alton of vast fund for incapaci-
tated soldiers.
