PROBLEMS NEARING
COMPLETE SOLUTION
PRESIDENT WILSON ISSUES A
STATEMENT IN BEHALF OF
COUNCIL OF FOUR.
SPEEDY AGREEMENT LIKELY
Official Bulletin Announces That the
German PIenipotentiaries Have
Been Invited to Meet at
Versailles April Is.

Paris, April 15.-The Midi ex-
already have indicated to the Ger
mans the final peace terms of the
Entente and have received from
Phillip Schneidemann, German
chancellor, an assurance that the
conditions will be accepted.
Paris, April 15.-It was stated in
authoritative quarters that sat
isfactory agreement had been
reached on the question of the
Rhine frontier, thus removing the
last of the main obstacles in the
way TO the peace treaty with Ger
many.
Paris, April ia statement by
President Wilson in behalf of the
Council of Four says that the qucs-
tons of peace are so near a complete
solution that they will be quickly and
finally drafted. This announcement
was contained in an official bulletin,
which added that the German plenipo-
tentiaries had been invited to meet at
Versailles on April 20.
The President hopes that the ques-
ton of Italy, especially relating to the
Adriatic, will be brought to a speedy
agreement. The Adriatic question will
be given precedence over other ques-
tons.
The settlements belonging especial
Iy to the treaty with Germany, she
statement says, will thus be out of the
way and at the same time other settle
ments will be completely formulated.
Wilson's Statement.
The text of President Wilson's
statement follows:
In view of the fact that the ques-
lions which must be settled in the
peace with Germany have been
brought so near complete solution
that they can now quickly be put
through the final process of drafting,
those who have been most constantly
in conference about them have decid-
ed to advise that the German pleni-
potentiaries be invited to meet the rep
resentatives of the associated bellig-
erent nations at Versailles April %.
This does not mean that many 9TH
er questions in connection with the
general speace settlement will be in
terrupted or that their consideration
which has been long under way will
be retarded. On the contrary, it is
expected that rapid progress will now
be made with these questions so that
they MAY ALSO presently be expected to
be ready for final settlement.
italian Situation.
'1t is hoped that the questions most
directly affecting Italy, especially the
Adriatic questions, can now be brought
to a speedy agreement. The Adriatic
question will be given for the time
precedence over other questions and
pressed by continual study to it's final
stage
"The settlements that belong espe-
cially to the treaty with Germany will
III this way be got out of the way at
the same time that all other settle
ments are being brought to complete
formulation. 1t is realized that
through this process must be followed
all the questions of the present great
settlements as a part of single
whole"
