 OF ITALY BAR LEAGUES WORK No Breach In Deadlock Aft
 CT Conferences. DO NOT EXPECT
 AGREEMENT SOON Meeting tt Versailles Is Postponed Three Days For The Hun
 nclegnliGn.
lBY The Associated Pressl

When apparently the council of four was ready to take decisive act ion on the Italian claims in the Adriatic, including the coast, islands and Plume, the Italian delegates, Premier Orlando and Foreign Minis ter Sonnino, failed to appear at Mon day afternoon's session. These min isters had discussed the problem insistently with Premier Clemen- ceau and Premier Lloyd George ear Her in the day and for the purpose of <bringing the matter to a climax, President Wilson attended the after noon session.
 It was then expected that the question, which up to that time, was considered almost insumountable, would be decided, but, owing to the absence of the Italian delegates, dis cussed of the Italian claims was dis pensed with. It is announced that the council will take no further action on the subject pending information as to the future course of the ltal- ians.
 Germany has accepted all the con- ditions of the allies with respect to the Versailles congress.
 The aspirations of Italy as regards the Adriatic sea coast still appear to be the insurmountable question be- fore the council of four at the Paris conference. Sundays discussion of the Italian claims was followed Mon day by two additional conferences, | but as yet, there apparently has 1 been no breach in the deadlock over the demands, which the italian con- sider irreducible and the compromise
 offer of the other participants in the otiations-Premier Clemenceau,
 David Lloyd George and President discussion, President Wilson did not attend Monday mornin's session of the council of four He did however, gather with the statesmen for the lat CT session in the afternoon and was reported to be ready to issue pub
 lie statement on the situation sur rounding the controversy in case an agreement was not reached. Anticipate Delay. That there is no immediate pros pect that the impasse is to be breach ed without further argument possibly
 is indicated by an official announce ment that the converting of the Ital- ian parliament which was to have taken place Wednesday and before which Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino hoped to place the facts accomplished has been propos- ed for two weeks-from next We'd nesdav until May 9th.
 A delay of three days is also in prospect for the meeting at Yer sailles, between representatives of the associated powers and the Ger
 man delegates, for the delivery to the Germans of the allied peace terms The German delegation, Marshal Foch has been informed, can
 not reach Versailles until April 18th. Originally, they were invited to be here April 25th.
 The three days delay possibly may be of benefit to the allies in com
 pleting the draft of the lengthy peace l document, which is said to approxi-
 mate 100000 words. Some doubt has
 been expressed that the allies would
 be able to give the Germans more
 than summary of their peace eondi-
 tions at the first meeting at Versail- | les owing to the length of the docu- ment.
 Talk of the German government
 sending merely messengers" at Yer.
 sailles to receive the peace treaty is
 discounted bv official information re-
 ceived by Marshal Foch that the
 German delegation will consist of
 six high personages, headed by
 Court Brockdorff- -Rantzau. the for
 eign minister.
 i A new provision of the peace
 treaty. intending to make impossible
 any attempt of the Germans to util- ize outside forces to re-establish
 their military machine has been ap-
 proved bv the council of foreign min
 isters. This is prohibition of the
 sending by Germany of military in structors to foreign countries. 1 President Wilson conferred at
 length Monday with Baron Makino
 and Viscount Chinda, of the Japan
 csc peace delegation.
