cold, raw weather. with occasional rain
squalls on the first day of their soJourn

slept late, not putting in an appear

functionaries, however, heavily clothed
against the storm, stroiled thru inc
sodden grounds OF the park or along
the streets.
The May day strike applies to the
Versailles hotels, but it is understood
it will not be allowed to deprive the
German representatives of their meals
and service as usual Lomorr- w.

peace congress, headed by Count Won

last night, it was received III the nsiiiS

gions. hope the peace which we are
about to sign will give satisfaction to

TBy Associated Press.l

Paris, April 30.--lt is planned in
peace. circles to go ahead with the
treaty of peace without regard to any
action by Italy as it is considered
probable the Italian delegation Will
not return, certainly not within the
present week.
The delivery of the treaty and the
first exchange with the Germans
therefore will occur without the parti~
cipation of Italy and it is said IN
American quarters that this procedure
will go forward steadily up till the
signing of the treaty. The first read
ing with the Germans probably VIII
occur Friday afternoon or Saturday
when the pact will be presented.
A day or two will be given for ques-
tions concerning interpretations of dii-
ferent phases of the convention with
out, however. involving prolonged
discussion. The French view is tBaS
the Germans may ask for two weeks
DELAY to permit them to return TO
discussing points presented after their
return from the temporary German
ca ptal. This is matter of conjecture
however. ats there is no precise IN
formation as to Germany's intentions.
Reports from Berlin reaching the
American delegation are somewhat
contradictory concerning Germanys
purposes as some reports indicate that
an early signing of the treaty is proc
able, while others say that it is doubt
full whether the pact will be signed az
all. These reports, coming from dis
ferent sources. indicate a lack of con
certed attitude as to the treaty and
show there is disposition to leave the
decision largely with the German
plenipotentiaries who are now at YER
sailles.

Washington. April 3O.-Official ad-

neutral source said that holsheviR
leaders Lenine and Trotzky were seek
ing refuge outside Russia, fearing u
possible overthrow of the soviet gov

The Significance Of these advices, as
officials view the information. Is that
the two bolshevik leaders realize that
the days of bolshevism are numbered
and are preparing the way for Night
when the time comes.
Sweden. Denmark and Norway, ac-
cording to advices, have refused 10

and Trotzky be given refuge there. and
the latest reports said the German
government had advised them that
their presence in that country wouiG

Premier Orlando's government
and the Italian delegation at the
peace conference received vote
Of confidence from the Italian par
lament last night. The vote in
the chamber Of deputies was 3S2 to
10, and in the senate unanimous.
What effect this. action will have
on the council Of three of the peace
conference is problematical. Paris
advices carry. the view. however.
that the return Of the Italian
delegation is not expected for the
present at least, and that it is
planned to proceed with the process
nf making peace with Germany re-
Sardless Of taking 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 reconciled.
From statement made in author
itative quarters. according to a
Paris dispatch, it appears that a
plan has been formulated which. 1t
g hoped, will prove acceptable both
20 China and Japan. What the
nature of the proposed solution Is

which is to receive the terms of
the allies late this week, now Is at

initial meeting will be held Friday.
but II may be found impossible to
prepare the treaty for presentation
before Saturday. n
When the German plenipotei-
tiaries arrived at Waucresson, near
Versailles last night, it was seen
that the trip across France had
been marked by at least one
demonstration, q window in one of
: the railway cars being broken by a
missile.
Belgium's claims for reparation
were presented to the council Of
three yesterday. and it is under
stood that a grave situation was
outlined as. prevailing In that
country. Ono correspondents re-
port Of the proceedings even went
50 far as to say that unless Bel
gium received financial aid 1t
might be impossible for the Bel
gian delegates to sign the peace
treaty.
Munich Is completely surrounded
by German troops and it seems
probable that conyerging attack
on the soviet forces holding the
city may begin at any time. Heavy

to be engaged in the movement.

SENATE MAY -RATiFY.
Much Opposition to League Covenant
Overcome by Amendments,

Overcome by Amendments.
Washington, April 30-Surface iudi-
cations point strongly to the ratifica-
tion Of the league of nations covenant
by the senate. The senate, however.
may amend the covenant or frame a
separate declaration qualifying its
approval of the pact, in which event
ratification will be certainty.
But even if all attempts TO amend
or qualify adhesion to the covenant
should be defeated it appears probable
that the treaty-will be ratified by more
than the requisite two thirds majority.
Advocates OF the revised covenant
are predicting that not more than fif-
teen votes will be cast against 1t. With
all senators present and voting this
Ewould mean eighty -one votes in favor
of the league plan. or seventeen votes
more than two thirds Of tie member
ship.
Find Four Alleged Faults.
Opponents of the covenant are max
ing no predictions, but are centereg
their fire upon four parts of the re-
vised draft which they will seek to re-
move by amendments or separate reso-
lutions qualifying American adhesion
to the treaty. These objections are.
l. That article q recognizing the
Monroe doctrine is inadequate.
= That domestic questions such as
exclusion Of immigrants on radical
grounds are not wholly exempted from
the Jurisdiction of the league.
g. That article 10. guaranteeing the
territorial integrity Of members Of the
league from external aggression, would
put the world in straight Jacket.
4. That article II confers on the
league dangerous power to deal with
any threat of war, whether imme-
diately affecting any of the members
of the league or not"
In as much as only a majority is
necessary to adopt an amendment or
qualifying resolution opponents Of the
revised league plan are confident
that some If not all Of these changes
can be effected.
