HY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


 A sharp forward stride toward an early peace has been taken. The coun- ciI of four in Paris has formally in vited Germany to send delegates to Versailles April 25, there to hear the verdict of the entente allies and asso- ciated powers and the sentence they have imposed upon her for having set the world aflame.
 The general opinion in Paris seems to be that Germany may endeavor to haggle over the hard terms and try to secure diminution in their sever ity, but that within a relatively short time the delegates will bow to the inevitable and sign the compact. Ad- vices from London are to the effect that the terms of the peace treaty will not be made public until they have been delivered to the Germans.
 The expectation in the French cap ital is that President Wilson will re- main in France until the peace treaty is signed and bring back the com pleted document to the United States. The Adriatic situation as it affects Italy and Jugo-Slovia is now the chief point under consideration by the council of four Arthur J. Balfour, the British foreign minister, is act ing as alternate on the council for David Lloyd George, who is on vaca- tion to England.
