Daily Summary
of Peace News
By the Associated Press

Preparations virtually have been
completed for the presentation Of
the brms of peace to the Ger
man deleg~Uas at Versailles ut
3:15 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Today is expected to witness com
pletion of the draft of the peace
treaty, a digest of which will ba
read at the plenary session of the
peace conference this afternoon,
primarily for the purpose of in
forming the delegates of the minor
powers as to the details OF the
document the Germans will be ask
ed to sign.
With Premier Orlando and Prime
Minister Sonnino Of Italy on their
way back 10 Paris from Rome,
which they left Monday night, it
seems probable that they will be
present at the historic meeting in
Versailles on Wednesday,
Nothing official has been made
public as to the agreement under
which Italy has consented to re-
sumo her interrupted participation
in the peace conference. \ report
reaching London, however, de-
clares that it is proposed to make
Fiume Il neutral port for a period
of two years, after which time it
is to be turned over to Italy
German newspapers are printing
reports from Versailles to the effect
thatt he German representatives
have served notice on the allies
that further notice delay in the pre-
sentation of the peace terms will
result in the Germans leaving for
Eu'lin. Another report emanat-
ing from Berlin states that German
Ministers Landsberg and Geisberg,
members of the enemy delegation,
have left Versailles. but that peace
negotiations will continue"
There has been no intimation
from Paris that the Germans were
demanding immediate action or
that any of the delegates had left,
and it is probable that the reports
received in Berlin We're intended for
ltlilt consumption.
Meanwhile, the League of Ma
tons has proceeded further with
it, organization. At the meet
ing of the organization committee
stephen Pichon, French foreign
minister, was elected chairman of
the provisional organization. At
the same time Sir Erlc Drummond
assumed his duties as acting secre-
tary general.
The government Of Finland will
receive recognition from the allies
pursuant to a decision reached in
Paris by the council of foreign
ministers, according to report.
There are certain conditions which
must be followed, it is said, but as
yet the details of the proposal
are not known.
The power of the soviet govern
ment in Budapest seems to be
crumbling rapidly. Reports agree
that anarchy reigns in the city,
with many executions being carried
out by the Soviet leaders Czech
troops are said to be only 20 miles
away.
With the circle of anti-bolsheviN
forces rapidly closing in from the
southeast, east, northeast and
north, the bolsheviki government
of Russia also appears to be hard
pressed. Russian and Finnish
troops operating east of Lake La
doga have cut off the retreat of
soviet forces further north and have
severed communications between
Moscow and the kola peninsula.
