gates to the peace conference are
no longer insisting upon the full
fllmcnt of the secret treaty Of
London, and this part of the con-
troversy relative to- territOTy on
the eastern shore OF the Adriatic
is tending toward an adjustment,
according to those who have taxi

status OF Fiume is still being dis
cussed. as the plan to make it a

(By Associated Press.)
Italy, it appears, is not insisting
upon France and Great Britain
carrying out all the terms OF the
treaty of London under which she
was to receive extensive territor-
les on the eastern shore of the
Adriatic in the settlement Of war
claims.
This apparent willingness to
make concessions in the negotia-
tions looking to an agreement OF
the Fiume and Dalmatia1 cOntro-
versies is considered in advices
from Paris as indicating progress
toward a definite understanding Of
the members of the council Of
