civilian groups and individuals as fol- lows:
 Under existing conditions it is inn possible for Germany ever to pay it's war debts. Before the war Germany had only 10000, ,OOO, ,OOO marks in gold, and the demand for pounds sterling in gold or merchandise in the first tow years is absurd How are we to pay, where there are no goods-if we have neither money nor credit with which to purchase materials or ships, as ours have been taken by allies?
 Several civilians according to the summary, expressed the opinion that the peace conditions were very hard, but still were not as severe as some had expected and that they would rather that Germany accept them than invite consequences of refusal.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Repub- lican senators continued today to discuss plans for organization of the new senate preparatory to the meet ing of the party caucus Wednesday.

 The progressives were said to have admitted their willingness to support Senator Smoot of Utah for the ap- pointment of president pro tenn. The Utah senator was mentioned among both groups as willing not to- seek election as president pro tenn. Sen ators Johnson of California, and Len root of Wisconsin, were mentioned by the progressives as acceptable to them for president pro tenn, but neith- CT has signified willingness to seek the office
 Formal notice of the attitude of the progressive was given to Senator Ledoge of Massachusetts, republican leader, by Senators Borah and John son, and it was understood that they were told by the party leader that their fight was solely one for con- sideration at Wednesdays conference.

 ITALY AGAIN SEETHES AT
 PEACE PACT.
Report Plume Claims Still Unsettled Is Cause of Fresh
 Outbursts in Italy Cities
Feel Slighted Also Because Not Included in American,
 British and French Alliance

(By the Associated Press)-A con ference between Baron Sonnino, Ital ian foreign minister, and Colonel E M. House of the American peace dele gation, regarding Italy's claims tc Plume and the Adriatic coast, meet ing of the council of four at which the notes presented by the German peace delegation concerning prisoners of war and labor were turned over to experts for investigation and the completion of the task of defining the new Austrian boundaries, represented the entire activities in peace confer. ence circles in Paris Monday.
 The result of the conversation be tween Baron Sonnino and Colonel House has not been made public. Meantime, dispatches from Rome in. dicate that the italian population again is becoming restive after having learned that the report of last week that Italy's claims to Plume had been settled was erroneous.
 Added to this irritation is dissatis faction because Italy was not men toned as one of the parties to the proposed Anglo-Franco-American al liance; the question of the division of Austria's merchant marine; the treaty provision with Germany that the three principal powers are suf- ficient to ratify the treaty and other smaller matters in which the Italians feel they have been sighted.
