[By Carl D. Groat, United Press

PARIS. May italian representa-
tives remaining in Paris were circu-
lating reports today that their peace
delegates will not return to Paris
unless they are specifically invited
by the other allies.
|, According to information from au-
thoritatiye sources. 1t is considered
doubtful that such an invitation will
be extended, although some quiet
efforts may be made to induce the
Italians to come to Paris to partici-
pate In signing the peace treaty with
Germany.
The claim is made by Italians here
that the pact of London prevents any
peace being signed without them.
When this theory was advanced
during the conference which pre-
ceded the Italian withdrawal. it was
pointed out that the provision of the
pact preventing separate peace
could be interpreted as recognizable
only so long as Germany continued
military menace. Signing of the
armistice was held to have removed
this menace and abrogated that par
ticular section Of the secret treaty.

 The geoiogist who made a report on the Yuma field did not explain the presence of gas near Yuma. His only statement was that the gas may have come hundreds of miles through a vent in tn eearth only to escape near Yuma.
 For thirty years gas has been escap- ing from the Colorado river near the second pier of the Southern Pacific railroad bridge Thirty years ago the gas vent was controlled and lighted. During the last thirty years the loca- tion of the vent has not changed ten feet.
 Yesterday Harry McPhaul and Gus Livingston went to tn ecent, placed an oil can over it and lighted the gas. The gas has been burning for hours and there does not seem to be any let up. Any party desiring to may go to the vent and examine it for himself. The gas burns with flame very similar to the flame of Illuminating gas, and is practically invisible during daylight but can be seen readily at night.
