 Total subscriptions officially reported in the Victory campaign total N,657 : g79,350. To reach the minimum quota slightly more than $40o.O0o. GOO must be raised daily, beginning tomorrow and ending Saturday night
 Treasury officials. however, were not pessimistic tonight
 The work of the final week. because of the relatively poor showing thus far will be centered on what one campaign director termed "big money" However. it was said that in the desire to obtain the country's quota through solicitation from bankers manufacturing and indi- vidual firms and other interests, the portion of the nations population about to buy Victory notes in small amounts would not be overlooked.
 RACE FOR HONORS
 The final week of the campaign is ex- pected to see an interesting race between districts for the honor of being the first lover the top" St. Louis, which won this honor in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign, was leading tonight with ap- proximately 65 per cent of it's quota sub scribed. It's nearest competitor, on the face of official returns, was the Minne- apolis district with approximately 5 per cent. The Chicago district, with 50 per cent of it's quota subscribed, may give the leaders a close racc. Chicago leaders believe that they have about $480, ,00O,oo0 subscribed despite the fact that their or ficial returns show only $332 ,000. 900, and if these unofficial figures are correct they have nearer 75 than 50 per cent of their quota subscribed.
 Communities in the Cleveland district were reported obtaining their quotas in this drive faster than in the fourth loan, despite the fact that the districts general subscription is lower than it was at this time in the last campaign. Four hundred and forty-nine honor flags have been awarded, while in the Fourth Liberty Loan at the close of the second week ot the campaign only 36l had been as signed.
 HOW THE DISTRICTS STAND
 Three hundred and eighty communities have won honor flags in the Boston dis trict Vermont has subscribed more than a million dollars above its quota and has 159 communities over their allotments
 The San Francisco district is believed to have more than s10o. 900 in subscrip- tions. although it's official returns show only $7S000.000.
 San Diego has the largest percentage of it's allotment and Portland. Salt Lake City and Seattle follow in the order named.
 The Kansas City district reported unof- ficially tonight that chafrmen through out insisted that they had $112. 100000 sub scribed. The official figures on the dis trict show only ST. 900, 900. The New York campaign is expected Ito be particularly intensive during the coming week. With the district standing tenth in the pefeentA&e column. cam

By Assoc1ated Press
 Versailles, May 1.-The question of Italian representation at the peace ne- gotiations, so far can be ascertained. has not been raised by the German dei- egates. Certainly it was not touched upon at the meeting of the fnter-allied here Thursday.
 The Germans had this point in re- serve and. according to indications, would probably have raised it had the inter-allied representatives at the meeting questioned their right to speak for Germany. with Bavaria in rebel lion. or enjoying semi-independence. However, When M. Cambon, instead. proposed an exchange of credentials for verificatiOn the Germans were so satisfied that they did not go out of their way to seek trouble.
 There has been no meeting of the Ger man and inter-allied commissions since then, but the inter-allie commission mel today at the Quai ? 1rsay in Paris to prepare a report whi i-hs will be submitted to the Germans in writing. Henry White represented the United States It is un-r lerstood that the inter-allied representa- tives found nothing to question in the German documents.
 FEW GERMANS AT CHURCH
 Church goers among the German dele gates were few in number. Baron Won l4ersner and Herr Giesberts, accompanied by several subordinate members of the delegation attended the morning service in the Catholic church, while three Ger man men and five women occupied re- served pews in the French Protestant church. The women, returning with bou- auets which they had purchased during the promenade, were attended in each case by French secret service agents.
 The Germans planned sight seeing excursion for this afternoon to TrianoE and Little Trianon and had requested permission to visit the historic apart nents of Madame Maintenon and Marie Antoinette. The necessary permits were not received, however, and the project had to be abandoned.
 A considerable holiday crowd came from Paris to catch a glimpse of the Germans, but found the barrier arrange ments in working order and were con- strained to confine their promenades to the far side of the street, while the Ger mans took the middle road between the barriers.
 Herr Giesberts and Herr Landsberg. observing a French artist sketching mem- bers of the German party at the entrance to their hotel this afternoon, went over to him and asked him to make sketch of them also. They posed patiently for the artist and then signed the sketches
 Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau, head ot the delegation, took short stroll, ana later remained outside his hotel chat ting with the other members of the Ger man delegation.
