GERMANY'S REFUSAL NO GREAT SURPRISE
Foreign News Resume Shows
 Mixed Up Conditions
(By the Associated Press.)


 The definite statement that Ger many will not sign the peace terms as they were presented to he delegates at Versailles is made by the German cabinet through the AssoCia ted Press.
 Statements along somewhat slml- lar line by President Ebert, Premier Seheidemann and other Germans in high places have preceded this one. Meanwhile European dispatches show that Germany's representative are still trying to secure notifications of these terms. Thus another note was sent yesterday by the German peace mission at Versailles to the secretar- fat of the peace congress. This is the tenth communication forwarded to the Allies by the Germans since they re- ceived the peace terms. The contents of the note are not known.
 Today or tomorrow the German representatives are expected to trans init to the Allies a statement of Ger many's attitude toward the peace treaty as whole, specifying what points they accept and what they de- sire to have modified The Is days time limit for them to make known their standpoint expires Thursday. Up to yesterday the prevalent opinion III Paris seemed to be that notWlthstand- ing all their protests the Germans ul- timately would sign the treaty.
 Premier Orlando of Italy has gone to Rome for conference with mem- bers of his ca binet on certain interior and foreign questions according to Paris dispatch. It seems probable that the peace terms will not be pre- sented to the Austrian delegation be- fore Friday when the Italian premier is due to return to Paris.
 In view of the fact that the settle 1nent of the Italian and the Jugo- Slavic claims to Plume and parts of Dalmati are still not settled and ev- cry effort has been made to bring about an agreement it may be assum- ed that Signor Orlando's flying trip to Rome indicates some new develop nent in the work of adjusting the situation. Apparently Premier Orlan- do will, at the most, remain at Rome but few hours.
 Judge Schuma cher, who represent ed Tyrol on the Austrian peace dele gatton, has returned to Vienna it is stated in Paris advices. It is pointed out that he was bitterly attacked by the Italians and the French press for his activities against the Italians at Triest where he was stationed during the war.
 It is said that Chancellor Karl Ren- ner, chief of the Austrian mission sent him back to Vienna in the inter est of harmony during the negotia- tions..
