No lntimation That Germany
Intends Taking Such a
Course
BIZ Associated T.res..


PARIS-May 1o.-President Will
son expressed the belief today that
nothing would be heard from the
German plenipotentiary for about a
week. Neither he nor the other mem
bers of the American delegation have
heard anything regarding the pub
lished reports that the German dele
gates were preparing to depart from
Versailles.
The German delegation worked
nearly the whole night in preparing
counter propositions, the clicking of
typewriters in their offices ceasing at
o'clock this morning. No com
munications have as yet been sent to
the chiefs of the allied mission.
Reports from Paris that President
Wilson had committed himself to a
proposal to settle the Fiume dispute
by giving that port to Italy after
1923, was said in dispatches to the
White House today to be absolute
fiction"
1t appeared from today's advices
that the President had not deviated
In the slightest from his original
stand in opposition to Italy's claims
to this Adriatic port.
Other dispatches from Paris said
the President would personally adj
dress congress and discuss the whole
subject matter of the Paris negotia-
tions Immediately after his return to
tie United States. 1t is understood
that the President is being urged by
his advisors to make a speaking tour
over the country before he addresses

From now until the next meeting,
the street committee and the street
commissioner authorized to 50 act
