London, May 3.-The Russian soviet
government has sent an ultimatum to
Roumania, demanding the evacuation
of Bessurabia.
A wireless dispatch from Moscow
says that the Roumanians are giveH
4S hours to reply.
Bessarabia is a former Russian
province populated mostly by R0uma-
mans and to which Roumania has laid
claim. On the retirement of the Ger
mans after the signing of the armistice
Roumanian troops occupied Bessara-
bia.
Four or five weeks ago Russian boil
shevik troops, after fighting their way
through the Ukraine, reached the
Dniester river, the eastern border of
Bessarabia. A bolshevik official state
ment April IA reported the Roumani-
ans had been defeated in fighting along
the Dniester and were retiring from
BeSsarabia.
The Roumanian government, how
ever, denied that its troops were eva
| cuating the province.

cause 1t left undecided the proportion
of the total reparation money to be al
lotted to them, and the Brussels gov
ernment decided its delegates could
not sign a treaty that did not provide
for a complete fulfillment of the prom
ises made Belgium by her allies.
These and several other matters hav-
ing delayed the completion Of the peace
treaty, 1t could not be presented to. the
Germans last week, but this ceremony,
1t was believed, would take place Mon
day. The German plenipOtentiaries
arrived at Versailles on Wednesday,
and were received by a representative
of the French foreign ministry with
cold but carefully studied-out formal
ity, after which they were housed in
the Hotel des Reservoirs. On Thurs
day they handed over their credentials
to an allied commission headed by
Jules Cambon, and the same day wit
messed their first formal meeting with
the allied peace commissioners as rep
resented by a special committee that
included Americans.
Though these Germans are called
plenipotentiaries, there was some
doubt last week as to the adequacy
of their powers and especially as to
their qualifications to speak and act
for Bavaria. Examination into this
matter, IL was said, might further de-
lay the presentation of the peace terms.
IL is understood the Germans will be
given enough time to study the treaty
and to transmit 1t to the national as
sembly at Weimar, but that its terms
would not be subject to any material
notifications at their demand. Should
the Germans refuse to sign the treaty
their further resistance to the allies
could be but little more than passive,
and doubtless Marshal Foch has in
hand full plans to meet that situation.
These presumably wtJld include the
occupation Of more German territory,
the seizure of more material resources
and the continuation of the blockade.
Prominent Huns are quoted daily in
protest against the "harshness" OF the
terms, which they aver will only throw
Germany into the hands of the bolshe-
WIKI An argument that already has
lost most of its force. The publication
Of the terms which Herr Erzberger had
drawn up to be imposed on the allies
after their defeat doesn't tend to in
crease the spirit of leniency toward
the Huns, for they were planning to
impose on France and Belgium the
most crushing Of terms.

Would Have Broken Up the Peace
Conference-Have "Airtight"
Guarantees From Them.

Paris, May 5.-The council of three
sent an invitation to Italy to resume
her place at the peace conference.
The nature of the invitation is such
that it is believed that Italy will ac,
cept and that relations will be re-
stored before the peace treaty is de-
livered to Germany.
President Poincare presided at a
meeting OF the French cabinet The
ministers reviewed from a broad as.
pect the preliminary peace terms
which are to be handed to the Ger
mans, and then exchanged opinions
regarding the various subjects consid
cred by the peace conference.
Why Wilson Yielded.
Fiume is not mentioned in the Ger
man peace treaty, and there is moth.
ing to prevent Italy from signing that
document, leaving final decision of the
Dalmatian problem for the settlement
with Austria.
If Italy comes back this will be due
chiefly to the untiring mediatory eff
forts of Premier Lloyd George.
The peace treaty with Germany is
now in the hands of the printer. The
last touches were put on it by the
"big three" Saturday evening. Presi.
dent Wilson is known to believe the
document will be ready to hand the
German delegates not later than Tues
day, though one strong version is this
will not happen till the end &c the
week.
In the 10 days which the Germani
have to consider the terms, the ''big
five," including, it is hoped, Italy, will
take up the matter of peace with Aus.
trfa, hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
If Italy does not return, the other
allies and America seem determined
