Paris, May 6.-No actual compro-
mise OF the Adriatic problem has been
arranged with the Italian delegates to
the peace conference, now on their way
back TO Paris. 80 far as is known here.
The fact that they are returning. how
ever. is regarded as encouraging.
Furthermore, members Of the Italian
delegation now in Paris stated today
that dispatches in German newspapers
suggesting that Italy had broken with
the entente have made II imperative
for the Italians to demonstrate that
they are still loyal TO the allies. In
this connection 1t was noted that
Marquis lmpcriali. the Italian ambas-
sador AZ London, represented Italy at
the meeting of the organization COM
mittec OF the league OF nations this
afternoon.
The decision of the Bel Sian crown
council that the Belgian delegates
should sign the treaty. as Belgium has
been promised a satisfactory arrange
ment of her war debts thru the hearty
support given her by the American
delegates, was another development OF
an auspicious day for the peace con-
ference.
France Welcomes ltaIy's Return.
The newspapers generally express
satisfaction with the decision of the
Italian delegates to be present We'd
nesday when the peace treaty is de-
livered to the Germans. They look up
on the action Of the Italians as sign
Of solidarity In the allies and point
out that the return Of the Italians in
dicates that Italy will continue at the
side Of the allies and battle any Ger
man maneuver to cause dissension
among the five great powers.
The belief is held that Italy will
help in finding ways and meHnx for q
satisfactory solution OF the Adriatic
problem.
The newspapers also are pleased
over the solution Of the Belgian ques :
ton. observing that a peace which did
not repair the losses of Belgium would
be unacceptable.
Chinese Appeal TO Wilson.
The Chinese delegation to the peace
conference has appealed to President
Wilson to intercede with the confer
ence officials TO have China included
among the powers permitted to attend
the presentation OF the peace treaty
to the Germans at Versailles tomor-
row. The name OF China Is not on the
list Of thirteen states so privileged.
