OFF DAY IS
EXPERIENCED
ATPEACE MEET
President Visits a Number of
D e G a ito n S. Lloyd
George is Absent From
Paris Temporarily.

Paris, May 16.-An off day was eK-
perienced at the peace conference To-
day. President Wilson devoted tae
day to visiting number of deIega-
tions Lloyd George was absent. Me-
gotiations with the Austrian delegates
are expected to begin the middle bf
next week. The Austrians probably
win present credentials Tuesday ard
it is reported unofficially Wednesday
may witness the handing of the peace
terms to them.
owing to the absence of Premier
Lloyd George from Paris, the peace
conferenee council of four did not NETT
today. The military. naval and aerlsl
terms OF the treaty between the allies
and Austria were further discusse1
yesterday and it is expected the treaty
will be presented about the middle CT
next week.
In the meantime efforts to reach Il
solution of the italian controversy arr
continuing. Claims of Italy to terri
tory on the eastern shores of the Adri-
attic were taken up again by Premier
Clemencean yesterday with Premier
Orlando ana Foreign Minister Son
nlnO, OF 1taly.
Greek troops have been landed at
smyrna, Asia Minor. the operation
taking place Wednesday. According
TO Paris dispatches. an inter-allied
demonstration there is to be carried
out by French, British and Italian
warships and Greek soldiers. Five
limited states warships are reported
to have arrived at Smyrna.
A Finnish army under the leader
ship of General Manneraeim, the pre-
mier. is reported by Copenhagen to be
advancing on Petrograd. A Helsins-
fors dispatch received Thursday stated
that the people of Petrograd had been
advised by the Soviet government to
leave the city without delay, announce
ment being made that all the govern
ment departments would be removed
from the former capital by July ].
Further south the forces of the all
Russian government at Omsk, have
captured the important city of Sam
ara, in the VoIga valley, while Cen
eral Deneline has captured Rostov-
on Don, at the head of the sea OF
Azov.-
Most of the German protests against
the peace treaty terms received by the
allies are said to impress the allied
chiefs as being designed as propagan-
da. 1t is pointed out the German
notes bear evidence of having been
written before the German delegation
had seen the treaty, the text of the
document not being quoted. No fur
ther notes Were presented by the en-
lemy representatives on Thursday.

HEAD OF SHIPS
CARPENTERS
CALLS MEETING
Effort to Arnicably Settle
Grievances of Some of
Men At Ship Plant Will
Be Made.

President Fl. Paulsen. of the Ship
Carpenters and Caulkers Local. has
called mass meeting of all ship
workers to be held at the city hall
at seven o'clock tonight for the pur-
pose of "amicably. settling the differ
.ernces between the ship workers and
the Pensacola shipbuilding Co"
Talking to the Journal last night.
President Paulsen stated that the pur-
pose of the meeting is not a union af-
fair, although union men are con-
cerned, but that it is a personal mat
ter between the men and the company.
He said that he had been asked to
act as an intermediary or peacemaker
and that it was for that reason he
had called the meeting.
Mr. Paulsen was especially anxious
to make it plain that he is to act, not
as president of the local, No. SIS, but
as friend of the men, a great many
of whom belong to the union.
The Pensacola Shipbuilding COM
pany it is stated, has been invited to
have representatives at the meeting
who are vested with authority to act
for that company in bringing about
an understanding and adjustment OF
the differences which resulted in a
number of wood workers leaving their
jobs at the plant on Thursday. not
as an action of the union of wood
workers, but due to individual griev-
ances understood to have arisen as
the result of a request by the COM
pany upon wood working superin-
tendent at the plant for his resigna-
ton to take effect on date speci-
fled.
Expressions by men interested on
both sides are to the effect that the
differences may easily be amicably
adjusted through efforts to bring
about a thorough understanding.
