 in the meantime it had been an- nounced that Marquis Imperiali, the Italian ambassador at London, had Italy in the meeting this afternoon of the executive committee of the League of Nations.
 Belgians Accede to Terms.
 Paris, May 5.-Belgium will sign the treaty of peace in spite of the feeling at Brussels that financial, eco- homie and territorial aspect of the pact are not satisfactory.
 A meeting of the crown council was held Brussels Sunday night, and after the terms of peace had been outlined by Paul Hymans, the head of the Belgian delegation at the peace conference, it was decided that the treaty would be signed.
 The Treaty Is Finished.
 In the meantime efforts will be made to impress upon the allies the seriousness of the situation in Bell gium and to gain support in the con duct of negotiations with Holland relative to the navigation on the Scheldt river and the waterways of Eastern Belgium.
 The printed draft of the treaty will be completed today and it is believed that it will be presented Thursday. Minor details will in the meantime be cleared up and Italy will be given chance to resume her place in the conference.
 Austria's delegation to the confer ence is reported to have met at Vien- ma and it probably will reach Paris soon after the Germans have received the treaty prepared for their country.
 The decision on the part of Ger many to summon the Austrians is ex- pected to have some influence on the return of the Italians, as we'll as the fact that Italy will be without a voice in the disposition of Germany's colo nies by the conference should she fail to renew her connection with the body. So far as known Hungary has not been asked to send her peace del egation to Versailles, the conference holding action in abeyance, pending the outcome of the disorders in that country.

 The organization of the League of Nations is to be perefected today. Standing committees will be appointed and arrangements for the meeting of the League in Washington next Octo- Der will be made. It developed that the Finnish troops which have occu- pied Petrograd are Red Guards. It is announced they. will march against the Finnish government forces or the White Guards.
 Indignant at the seizure of the Hun garian legation at Vienna by counter revolutionary forces, the soviet gov ernment of Hungary has demanded that German Austria take immediate  action to arrest those involved in the reported seizure.
 Budapest meanwhile is reported to be in a serious panic over the menace to the city thru the near approash of Czech Serbian and Rumanian troops, there being no longer even sem blance of order.
