man delegates at Versailles did nos
ask why Italy was not represented and
did not seem to be concerned about
the failure of her delegates to APP
pear, may have given the Italians a
sober second thought, 1t was >,ated.
German resentment of Italy's dNser-
ton of the Central Powers at the be-
ginning Of the war is known to be In
tense and the belief here Is that It
would have been most pleasing to
Germany ii a peace could have been
arranged without Italy as a signatory.
The feeling about peace here today
is more optimistic than it has been at
any time.
The impression that tho italian
people are coming to realize that If
they are to count upon the great
power of the United States to help

In the future their great assurance
of that aid lies in their not irritating
