GERMANY REFUSES TO DISCUSS

Paris, April 15.-The council of four
has under consideration a French plan
for defense along the Rhine which
provides for line thirty miles east of
the Rhine which shall be considered a
boundary over which German troops
cannot cross without making them
selves liable to attack by British,
French and American troops. The
French hope to get allied assistance in
policing this military zone.
firmly resolved to refuse to discuss at
the peace congress the future alleg-
lance of the Saar territory, according
to Berlin news agency on what it
terms competent authority. The gov
ernment will "resolutely reject any
proposal to tear the Saar territory
from the empire by means of a general
plebescite"
Paris.-A statement by President
Wilson in behalf of the council Of four
says that the questions of peace are so
near complete solution that they will
be quickly and finally drafted. This
announcement was contained in an Of
ficial bulletin, which added that the
German plenipotentiaries had been in
vited to meet at Versailles on April
25.
The text of President Wilson'S
statement follows:
'1n view of the fact that the ques-
tions which must be settled in the
peace with Germany have been
brought so near a 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 plenipO
tentaries be invited to meet the rep
resentatives of the associated bellig
erent nations at Versailles on the 25th
of April.
"This does not mean that the many
other questions connected with the
general peace settlement will be In
terrupted or that their consideration
which has long been under way will
be retarded.
"On the contrary, it is expected that
rapid progress now will be made
with these questions so that they may
also presently be expected to be ready
for final settlement.
'It is hoped that the questions most
directly affecting Italy, especially the
Adriatic question, 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
in this way be got out of the way al
the same time that all other settle
ments are being brought to a com
plete formulation. 1t is realized that
though this process must be followed
all the questions of the present great
settlement are parts of single
whole"
