But No Change
In Peace Plans
Allies Ready to Go Ahead and Make
Peace With Germany Regardless Of
Withdrawal of italy.
INV Associated Pressl

Premier Orlando's government and
the Italian delegation at the peace
conference received a vote Of conf
dence from the Italian parliament last
night. The vote in the chamber Of
deputies was 382 TO 40 and in the SEN
ate it was unapimous. What effect
this action will have on the council of
three is problematical. Paris advices
carry the view, however that the return
of the Italian delegation is not expect
led for the present at least, and that it
lis planned to proceed with the process
Of making peace with Germany regard
less Of any action by Italy. Meanwhile
the rival claims of Japan and China
to the former German fortress of Kiao
Chau are reported to have been re-
eoneiled, From statement made in
authoritative quarters according to q
Paris despatch it appear that a plan
has been formulated which it is hoped
will prove acceptable both to China
and Japan. What the nature of the
proposed solution is remains undisclos-
ed. The question was under discussion
by the council of three in session
with the Japanese delegates yesterday.
