Similar bits of conversation are heard
probably throughout the country.
The report made Saturday by j. r.

that the majority Of the big" subscrlp-

STATUS AS
.0NE OF FIVE GREAT
POWERS IN QUESTION
THIS is POWERFUL LEVER IN IN
DUCiNG HER TO COME BACK
TO THE FOLD

Paris. Sunday May i.-The status
of Italy as one of the five great powers
has been brought into question by her
withdrawal from the peace conference
and it is this status which Is proving
powerful lever in inducing Italy to
accept the invitation OF tho council
Of three TO resume her place at the peace
table. The treaty of peace makes re
peated reference TO tho five great
powers as final authority in regulat
ing many subjects and this provision
would have to be changed for the -four
great powers" in case Italy remained
out of the conference.
Problems incident to the disposition
Of the German colonies are left by the
treaty TO the great powers. SO that II
Italy does not resume her place the
treaty would exclude her from partlci
pating in the disposition of the colonies
either directly or AZ mandatory.
The text OF the treaty has been deli
yered to the printers and with the eX
ceptlon of some reprinted drafts Is
ready. With doubts as to ltaly's status
the protocol OF the treaty will be pre-
pared in two forms. one including Italy
As signatory and the other omitting
her, Both these forms and the entire
text OF the treaty will be completed
tomorrow.
President Wilson expressed his be
lief to II member of the American dele
cation that presentation of the treaty
to the Germans could be made Tuesday
afternoon, but this ceremony probably
will go over to a later day to give the
Italians time to return and to allow
time for the adjustment of remaining
questions concerning Belgium.
The executive committee which will
launch the League of Nations will hold
its first meeting tomorrow. President
Wilson or Col. II. NJ House will repre-.
sent the United States; Lord Robert
Cecil will appear for England; stephen
Pichon for France; Premier VeneZelos
for Greece the Spanish ambassador for
Spain and DR.. Epitacio PeSsoa for Bra
zil Italy will not be represented. The
organization Of the League will be per
fected, many committees appointed and
plans probably will be drafted for the
initial meeting of the League at Wash
ington next October.
Those close to President Wilson say
that June / will without doubt be the
date for the assembling of the extra ses.
sion of congress.
The determination Of the conference
to begin the negotiations of a peace
with Austria Immediately following the
delivery of the treaty to the Germans
has been made known to Italy. 1t IS
that the Austrians viii arrive
toward the middle of May. Plans for
the accommodation at ST German are
being made by the French authorities.
Whether Hungary Will be asked to
Join the treaty will depend upon the
outcome OF the present disorders there.
1t is said that the Austrian treaty Will
be featured by the outlining of the
boundries of states newly formed from
the old empire. The Bulgarian and
Turkish treaties will follow, but the
