NEWS FROM PARIS.

]: developed Tuesday afternoon
that Count Won Brockdorff-Rantz
head Of the German peace delega zion
intended TO ask permission TO send
German delegates to receive the Aus
TRAN representatives, according to
the Havas Agency. 1t has previous
ly been announced that the Allies in
tended TO keep the delegation wholly
apart
The Italian problem seemed near
CT solution when Tuesdays confer
ence began among the Allied repre-
sentatiVes and it was thought prob
able that basis Of understanding
would be reached during the day.
The Italian representatives, are re-
ported to be evidencing more of a
discussions of the day began when
Premier Orlando called in the fore
noon upon Col. E. M. House, of the
American delegation.
The Council of Four held no meet
ing Tuesday. No further commune
cations had been received from the
German representatives at Versailles,
notes from Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau had been referred had not
yet reported. President Wilson and
the allied premiers devoted the fore
room to individual work.
Since agreeing on the peace terms
for Germany the Council of Four has
been working OH the terms for Aus
tria and have them about ready.
This afternoon President Wilson
received Thomas Nelson Page, the
American Ambassador to Italy, in
connection with the Italian question
The Italian representatives have
resumed complete participation in the
pending peace negotiations by ap-
pointing a member of the liason
commission controlling all communi-
cations with the German delegation.
This commission has hitherto been
composed only of British, French and
American representatives.
In the peace treaty with Austria
now well toward completion, re-
sponsibility clause has been inserted
identical with that in the German
treaty, with the exception that the
first cause. providing for the trial of
former Emperor william. is omitted.
The remaining clause makes provision
for the trial of military offenders by
an international court martial.

iTALYS CLAIM TO FIUME,

Fiume is essentially Croatian, a
Jugo-Slav city in Jugo-Slav envir-
onment; is it likely that the Slavs,
who have just wrenched themselves
clear of Austria Hungarian rule, are
going to hand themselves over to
Italy? Why should they? Why
must Italy dominate the Adriatic in
order to preserve herself? The Lon.
don pact did not promise Fiume to
the Italians, but specified that it
should be included in the territory of
Croatia.
And how can Italy, after accepting
the IA points as prescribing the fun
damental principles on which peace
should be concluded, turn and, in
contrayention Of those principles, lay
claim to the main port of the Croa-
tians, people friendly to the Allies
during the war?

SAYS TERMS ARE As he EXPECTED.

Macmillan Harden, editor Of the
Berlin Die Zunkunft. writing of the
peace treaty says.
The peace conditions are not
harder than l expected. They were
unpleasant to the greater part Of the
people! but could one really have eX-
pected them otherwise?
The Germans have not given very
convincing mental guarantees during
the six months since the revolution
that they have changed their system;
on the contrary the present Govern
ment and the press have used the
same methods of Indictment, the
same tricks of bluff. as under the old
rule Of the petty nobility.
The Governments proclamations
and speeches are only bad copies OF
the KaiSer'S time. The whole press
resounds in protests and has started
a campaign Of Indictment against the
Allies couched in violent language
1t is agitating for refusal to sign the

! treaty-and to what use? All must
know that the Allies, by keeping up
the blockade and occupying the coal
districts. can force Germany to sign
whatever they want. :.
The Allies have been threatened
that Germany would join the Boil
sheviki. But that would be suicidal.
The only way to rescue the country
is by openness and honesty. The
revolution has been great dissap-
pointment.
Germany should have sent men
who would have laid their cards on
the table and got the Allies to under
stand that some of the conditions
were unacceptable. If Germany
showed its good will to do what is in
its power to comply with the Allies
requests, the Allies would see that
conditions were changed in favor of
Germany, because they know there
must be Germany and that it is i'm
possible to destroy the German peo-
ple.''

they swept everything before them.

The blind, fatuous, partisan spirit
which seeks to line up Republican
senators in opposition to the ratifica-
ton of the league covenant deserves
no sympathy or encouragement.
There is no. politics in the question
and no reason at all for a party con-
ference such as Mr. Lodge seeks to
hold in an effort to force united par
~ action. How the league covenant
concerns the Democratic or the Re.
publican party as such we are wholly
unable 10 see.

HOPES TO SAVE ITS FACE ON LEAGUE,

The partisan opposition to the
league of nations section Of the treaty
Of peace with Germany, represented
by the round-robin group of Sena-
tors, IS dying hard.
Although the opposition has aban-
doned practically all hope of defeat
ing the league program, it is en-
gageo just now in stopping an incip-
lent stampede of the late signers to-
ward the league band-wagon, with
the idea Of adopting resolution of
protest against some of the articles.
If amendments should prove to be
impossible.
This Is the meaning of the frantic
appeals which were sent out to Sen
atOrs over the signatures of Lodge
and Curtis. pleading with them to
remain non-committal until a general
conference can be had and course
Of action decided upon. The first pur-
pose Of these appeals is, as just indi-
Gated, to head off uneasy statesmen
who are finding their attitude of OPP
position to the league plan decidedly
uncomfortable. The next object is
to pave the way for a commensurate
which will remove the appearance
CT precipitate surrender.
In the meantime ex-president Taft
DR.. Lowell, Of Harvard, and other
eminent Republicans, are making a
strong fight for the league The
American press, by an overwhelming
majority of newspapers and maya
zines, favor the ratification of the
league covenant.

TO WEAR WHEN TRAVELLING
Frock Of Dark Blue Taffeta Has Many
Advantages That Are Worth
Remembering.

Do you expect TO take a trip soon?
Then you will need for wear in the car
or on the train q frock of dark blue
silk, preferably taffeta. Charmeuse is
very lovely, but under hard wear ii is
apt to grow dull looking. Crepe meteor
is cool and graceful, but it rumples
easily.
Crepe de chine has much to recon-
mend it, but TO be q really good quail
ity it must be rather heavy, and this
makes it warm. Taffeta crumples a
trifle, it Is true, but the soft weaves
are not bad in this respect. You could
do no better than choose dark blue
taffeta.
Different vest may accompany this
gown, such as batiste, marquisette or
Organdie. A very pretty vest is made
of Madeira embroidery. This is a new
idea. A little batiste guimpe may also
be worn with this gown.

PAINT ON TAFFETA
Easy to Produce Novel Effects
on ParaSOIS.
Simple Accessorie. Easily Transformed
Into Things of Seauty-Smocks to
Be Feature Of the Fall Dress.

The sketch presented today show
a graceful, long-handled parasol on
japanese lines, made of dull blue taf-
reta and hand-painted in purple and
black. The handle is black wood. Nov
city parasolS are decided additions to
the summer wardrobe and by the use
of manipulating it is possible for Il
woman to possess one, or Il number
for that matter, entirely different from
anything the shops may be able to
offer. a plain parasol purchased ut a
nominal price may be easily trans
formed into Il really rich and apparent
~ expensive article by decorating 1t
with painted or embroidered designs.
Floral effects are most frequently
seen, but wildly plumagcd birds are
effective. The surface Of one lovely
parasol noticed recently was pretty
well covered with round dots in vari-
Gus sizes and colors, the general effect
suggesting floating balloons.
The SmOck shown may be made of
georgctte in any preferred color and
embroidered with heavy wool in con
trasting shade.
Shocks now being brought out for
fall emphasize the strong hold this
garment has acquired. The Cossack
smock is an interesting model. This is
cut on straight lines and is somewhat
longer than the conventional smock.
The jersey weaves either in silk or
wool (tiber silk is more frequently en-
ployed than pure silk) are popular
fabrics, and brilliantly contrasting silk
floss, heavy wool or chenille is used 10
embroider the garment.
One Of these smocks will be found
excellent for sport wear during the

counts, bishops and abbots, together with little
city-states. The beginning of the confederation or
cantons was in the thirteenth century.
In 1916 Rudolph of Hapsburg, Holy Roman en-
peror, secured control Of the duchy of Austria
and threatened the liberties Of the Swiss. TO re-
sist it's aggreSsionS the three forest cantOns OF Uri,
Schwvz and Cnterwalden in 1901 entered into a
league. In the fourteenth century five other can
tons joined. The house of H%apsburg found the
mountaineers invincible. At the close Of the mid
die ages the connection Of Switzerland with the
German empire came virtually to an end. The
confederation was enlarged by fresh accessions.
In the sixteenth century, as stated, Geneva SHOOK
off the authority Of the dukes of Savoy and Of
the bishops. After the reformation in the peace of
Westphalia OGlS) Switzerland was~fornally de-
clared independent Of the German empire. In
1898 the French occupied the country and estab-
lished the Helvetic republic. In 1903 Napoleon re-
stored the cantonal confederation and new cal
tons were added. The congress OF Vienna in 1915
decreed the perpetual neutrality of Switzerland.
Geneva, of course, at once suggests noted men and
famous events-John Calvin, Rousseau and others :
the Geneva convention, the Alabama claims. etc.

Lake Geneva is one of the beauty spots of the
world. 1t is about 40 miles long and is eight miles
wide at it's place OF greatest width. It's northern
and western shores afford striking views Of Mount
