last night launched a wooden ship in
a special tank at the Wilson Normal
School in honor of the raising of near
ly half a million dollars in Victory

IN the solution Of the Russian prob
lem.
At the same time ii is pointed out
that the Hungarian situation may be
cleared up as a result Of the reported
downfall Of the dictatorship of Bella
Kun at Budapest. Assistance in this
direction will come from the fact
that the Austrian delegates, who
were formally invited to Paris, are
expected to arrive on May IL.
American delegates resent the tnti-
nation that the Italian ENJOYS were
invited to return to Paris through
the Big Three" In American sources
it is said that this intimation, which
comes from both British and French
official circles. is untrue.
1t Is insisted among the Americans
that President Wilson has not chang
ed his position, and that notification
TO this effect has been served upon
Premier Lloyd George and Premier
C1emenceau.

Premiers Lloyd George and CIemen-
ceau are understood to have sent a
Communication to Rome, making
known the attitude of President
Wilson. The message was couched in
the form of an invitation and the
Italians Immediately replied in the
affirmative. They were anxious to
P return, but could not do so except in
q way that would save their faces. =
Then a second communication went
to Rome. This was followed by a
statement that the Italians hoped to
find their way to a compromise that
would satisfy President Wilson.
The credentials Of the Italian dele
gates were rushed to Paris by spe-
cial courier, reaching here today.
They were Immediately forwarded to
Versailles and formally presented to
the German ENJOYS.

THINK MAY 26 DATE
FOR EXTRA SESSION

The White House has been besieged
by so many inquirers and so many
have been the rumors as to the date
on which Congress will be called for
an extra session that an official an
nouncement is expected in the next
day or ito as q general answer.
It was generally believed today that
the date will be Monday, May g. This
belief is based on cables from Paris,
which indicate that President Wilson
intends to leave the peace confer
ence in time to reach here by that
date and by advices that the Italian
situation is clearing.
That the President will issue the
call for the extra session by cable
from Paris is the bel eff here.
