FIRST HUNS THERE
Four Minor German Represen-
tatives Arrive at Versailles.
Arranging for Main Body of the
TeutOn Delegates.

Versailles. April 25.-The vanguard
of the German delegation arrived here
today. 1t consisted of four minor rep
resentativess who will assist the French
in arranging for reception of the main
body of German delegates which will
reach here May 1. Special permission
was granted the German government
to send these representatives at this
time.
The delegates were Herr Walter, a
postal inspector; Doctor Donker, a
food official, and two assistants. Herr
Wanschendorff, councillor of the Ger
man embassy, was delayed and is ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow Only the
allied authorities were present when
the Germans detrained.
Count Brockdorff- Rantzau, foreign
minister, and head of the German
delegation, will reside in the Hotel Des
Reservoirs, it was decided today. A
ground floor suite of five rooms will
be prepared for him.
The Germans come at a time when
disrupted by the detection of the
Italians.
To add to the apprehension in GER
tain quarters. developments pointed
toward a possible coalition between
the Italians and Japanese.
Ambassador Matsui, japanese diplo-
matte representative in France, called
at Italian headquarters this morning.
He was believed to have conferred
with Foreign Minister Sonnino, who is
scheduled to follow Premier Orlando
to Rome tonight.
Italy-Jap Claims Identical.
Italian and japanese territorial
claims are practically identical Both
are based on secret treaties. Aside
from the significant visit of the JAP
anese ambassador to Italian headquar-
ters, the Italo-Japanese entente has
been steadily growing in the past few
weeks The Japanese Mediterranean
squadron. now in Italian waters, is be-
ing received with great enthusiasm
both by officials and the people.
Popular demonstrations in favor OF
annexation of Fiume, together with al
the territory claimed by Italy under
the pact of London. are continuing
thruout Italy. Hundreds of thousands
of persons are participating. The
Italian people appear to be venting
their anger particularly against Pres
ident Wilson, denouncing him in the
same breath that they cheer America
Japan las been the scene of similar
demonstrations ever since opposition
first developed to the racial equality
amendment to the league of nations
covenant. These disturbances, how
ever, have not been aimed against any
one of the allies.

by the supreme food council, julius
H. Barnes, president of the food ad-
ministration grain corporation and

A survey of wheat stocks, Mr..

When the armistice was signed more

director stated. was approximately that

The necessity, five months after the
cessation of hostilities of re-establish-

Barnes pointed out. showed the dire
straits in which European countries
! had been placed by the ravaging of
harvest lands and the killing and dis
abling of millions of agriculturists.
