versations on the Adriatic problem
have been going on in Paris for
some time. but it is indicated that
a settlement has not yet been reach
ed.
Huns to Know Next Week
According 10 present plans. the
allied terms OF peace may not be
laid before the Germans before Sat
urday OF next week. and il may not
be until the following Monday that
the enemy delegates learn the de-
tails of the treaty they will be asked
to sign.
This will delay proceedings to
some extent. it is believed. and it is
not expected that the German dele
cation can go to Weimar to receive
instruction and return to Paris be-
fore May s.
May Ask Questions
According TO plans formulated at
the conference, the German dele
gates will be permitted to ask ques-
tions to elucidate obscure points,
but nothing approaching discus
sion OF the terms will be permitted.
Only President Wilson and the al
lied premiers will be present when
mans. 1t is expected the League OF
Nations will have the place of honor
in the terms to be presented.
Fiaochau Comes Up Tomorrow
Japan will bring before the Coun-
ell of Four on Saturday the sub
ject of Kiaochau, the German fort
ress in the Far East, and it is en-
pected that a decision will be an
nounced soon.
Premier Clemenceau, who refused
on Wednesday to join in the con-
ditional agreement to feed Russia
through neutral nations, has at last
attached his name to the undertak-
ing.
! Letters exchanged between the
Council of Four and the committee
in charge of sending supplies to the
Russians indicate that conditions in
Russia are critical.
Libau has been seized by German
and Baltic-German troops, accord
ing to advices received at Copen-
hagen. The Lettish provisional gov
ernment has been ousted, according
to the report, and some of the min
isters imprisoned. A British mission
is at Libau and British warships are
in the harbor, and some action may
be taken against the Germans,
should the report prove true.
Wires "Out" to Munich
Telegraphic communication be-
tween Berlin and Munich has been
severed, and Bamberg, Bavaria, also
| is cut off from the German capital.
Dispatches do not give the reason
! for the interruption, but German
| government and Bavaria Soviet
| troops have been fighting at Munich
! for the last few days, and 1t is be-
| lieved that one party or the other
| cut the telegraph lines.
| What Germany Must Pay
In the peace settlement at Paris,
| Germany is to be made to pay every
! cent the traffic will bear" The dam
! o ges she inflicted are to be set forth
! in the Peace Treaty under six cate
! gories. Within two years after the
| treaty is concluded she must gay
abopt S., 900. 900 in cash. By May
! l, 1921, an Allied commission is to
| report how much she owes the Allies
under the six categories. Allied COM
missions will meet annually and as
sess Germany on her national annual
earnings. The amount Of actual to-
tai reparational damages is not
stated, but estimates as to how
much Germany will ultimately have
to pay vary from s25,000,OOO TO
SEQ 900, 100000.
1t is believed the demand upon
Germany must be based on ability of
the Huns to obey and that mere
yindictive policy, would defeat the
main purpose.
