BRITISH AND YANK
MERCHANTS MEET

by Reciprocal News Servicc)
LONDON.-The conference be-
tween American aad British business
men now taking place under the aus
pices Of the American chamber Of
commerce in London includes impor-
tant meetings between delegations di-
rect from America and representative
committees OF American and British
busine" men in England.
Before the formation of the Ameri-
can chamber OF commerce in London
it was difficult for delegations from
America to be placed in touch with
exactly the right people. The cham
bet OF commerce, however, is able to
arrange valuable conferences, and has
done so in the cases of the American
trade paper editor delegation, the
American boot and shoe manufacture
ers' delegation, the delegation Of the
Cleveland chamber of commerce, and
also in the case of an important Amer
ican government delegation.
Further conferences will he arranged
for other delegations from America.
The vhitors are put in touch both with
American business men and British
business men with interests similar to
their own. ~

WILSON EXPLAINS PROPOSAL
FOR ALLIANCE WITH FRANCE

Washington.-In response to an in
quiry from Secretary Tumulty. Presi-
dent Wilson cabled that he had prom
ised France to propose to the senate
in connection with the peace treaty
"a supplement in which we shall
agree, subject to the approval of the
council OF the league of nations, to
come Immediately to the assistance OF
France in case Of unprovoked attack
by Germany"
Happily there is no mystery or
privacy about what I have promised

said. II have promised to propose to

AUSTRIAN KINGDOM
BOUNDARIES FIXED
ITALIAN POPULATION IS AGAIN
BECOMING FESTIVE OVER
REPORTS ON FiUME.
HUN RESISTANCE DYING HARD
Ebert Says Treaty Is Monstrous Dec
ument Which Has No Precedent In
Determination to AnnihiIate.

A conference between Baron Som
nino. Italian foreign minister, and
Colonel E. M. House. OF the American
peace delegation, regarding Jtaly's
claims to Fiume and the Adriatic
at which the notes presented by the
German peace delegation concerning
prisoners Of war and labor were turn
ed over to, experts for investigation.
and the completion Of the task of de-
fining the new Austrian boundaries
represented the entire activities In
peace conference circles in Paris.
The result Of the conversation be-
tween Baron Sonnino and Colonel
House has not been made public.
Meantime dispatches from Rome indi-
cate that the Italian population
again is becoming restive after hav-
ing learned that the report of last
week that Italy's claims to Fiume
had been settled was erroneous.
Added to this irritation Is dissatis-
faction because Italy was not men,
toned as one OF the parties to the
proposed Anglo-Franco-Americ alli-
ances; the question OF the division Of
treaty provision with Germany that
the three principal powers are suffi-
cient to ratify the treaty, and other
small matters in which the Italians
feel they have been slighted.
From Germany come reports of con-
tinued dissatisfaction Of the terms
which Germany has been told she
must meet in order to obtain peace.
Reiteration that it will be impossible
to carry out the provisions are to be
heard everywhere. Great demonstra-
tions OF protest have been held in
Berlin, Breslau and other cities.
No less a person than Frederick
Ebert, president of Germany has an
nounced that he is standing on Presi-
dent Wilson's IA points for peace.
Ebert alluded to the peace treaty as
a "monstrous document" which, he
said, holds no precerent in determina-
tion completely to annihilate van
quished peoples.

OMISSION OF ITALY IS
A SUBJECT OF COMMENT

Paris.-Much comment has arisen
over the fact that Italy is not included
in the proposed engagement between
the United States, Great Britain and
France for mutual action against
Germany should Germany again be-
come aggressive toward France. It is
said that Premier Orlando was ready
to bring Italy into the agreement and
that he took part in some OF the early
discussions. although the plans were
consummated about the time Of the
high tension which removed Premier
Orlando from active participation In
the council OF four.
Because Of Italy's membership in
the former triple alliance 1t is held in
some French quarters. 1t was a Sc
rious omission not to include Italy In
the new Franco-Arlerican-Br British en-
gagement.

OFFICIAL TOTAL OF AMOUNTS

Complete Returns of Sales by Banks
Will Be Made to the Treasury
Department by May "a.

WashingtOn.-Fiftee million Amer
leans bought Victory Liberty notes in

about 21.000.000 purchasers in the
Fourth loan, 100000 in the third.
100000 in the second and 100000
in the first.
A few additional reports Of sub
seriptions came in but no attempt was
made to tabulate them and the treas
ury announced that the official total
probably would not be known before
May 26. The total as compiled still
stood at $685. ,G00, 900, but late re-
ports emphasized the earlier indica-
tions that the loan had been heavily
over-subscribed.
Banks will have until May 20 to re-
port their subscriptions to federal re-
serve banks. and the federal reserve
banks will report to the treasury by
May "a.
Reports from all districts indicate
that practically the entire quota was
taken without material assistance
from the banks" said treasury an

PEACE CONDITIONS ARE NOT
HARDER THAN EXPECTED

Berlin.-Maximilian Hardin, editor
OF the Berlin Die Zukonft, writing on
the peace treaty, says:
THE peace conditions are not hard.
er than expected. They were un.
pleasant to the greater part of the
people. But could one have readily
expected them otherwise?
THE allies have been threatened
that Germany would join the. bolshe ..
Wiki. But that would be suicidal. The
only way to rescue the country Is
by openness and honesty. The revo-
luton has been a great disappopint-
ment."
