tion and has indorsed the article quail
flying any male citizen, native or natur-

German frontiers. depriving many for
mer German subjects of their nation

The constitution provides that the
president shall be chosen by popular
vote.
This league of nations, with the
men who really wrote it, was meant TO
obtain peace only in SO far as peace
would maintain forever inviolate their
territories and their subject peoples.
and it was meant that this kind of
peace should be obtained by the exer-
else of the power and the force of the

Nep York Tribune

Special Cable Service
downright 1919 New York Tribune lnc)
: PARIS, July IA climax in the Ital-
ian situation is expected in the next
fsw days, for Signor Tittoni, the Ital-
ian Foreign Minister, is determined to
demand that all questions affecting the
ssrritory formerly included in the
Austro- Hungarian empire either be set
lied in the Austrian treaty itself or
he made the subject of formal agree
ments concluded before the treaty in
anal form is communicated to the
Austrians.
The Italians recently permitted the
report 70 circulate that the Allies had
agreed they would not conclude peace
with Austria until the problems inter-
esting Italy had been settled, but in
ouiry by The Tribune in high confer
ence circles discloses no knowledge of
such an undertaking.
Notwithstanding optimistic state
ments that the Austrian treaty would
be ready before the end of the week. it
Was privately admitted to-day that this
was doubtful because of Italian insis-
tence on priority for the questions of
the Adriatic and Fiume.
Seek French Support
The Italian delegates state that they
have irrevocably decided not to give
way on their demand that their claims
shall no longer be "sidetracked." De-
cluring that the state of Italian public
opinion renders this more imperative
than ever, the Italians are seeking
French support.
The French delegates at the peace
table believe the situation has de-
veloped sufficiently to indicate the
future attitude of the Italians at the
conference They point out that Tit
,oni began work with clean. slate,
having deferred coming until Baron
Sonnino had signed the German treaty,
thus making his predecessor respon-
sible for the developments up to that
time.
Fiume Claim Only Incident
Conference officials expect Signor
Tittoni to base his policy on the reali-
cation that the lesson to be learned
from Sonninos failure to secure Presi-
dent Wilson's agreement is that he
must not run afoul of America. He,
therefore, is expected to be less in
tractable in regard to Daiuatia and
the Adriatic question, though still
using the pact Of London as a weapon,
and to seek compensations elsewhere.
The Italian claim to Fiume will be
only an incident in the great game in
which the Italians will seek on the
! Mediterranean what they cannot get on
the Adriatic. and in Asia Mino- and Al
geria what they give up TO Jugo- -Slavia.

come as surprise to them. The
bureau, which says its inform ton
comes from authoritative conference
circles, adds, however, that because of
more urgent business coming up, dis
cussion of the question by the council
was postponed.
Nevertheless, the agency says, it is
known President Wilson had expressed
him self strongly as to the place for the
holding Of the trial, and, it asserts,
there is every reason to believe he was
fully cognizant of the decision to try
the ex-Emperor in London.
