Mr.. Craig forced his point by request
ing Of the secretary, Joseph Haag, what
the record showed regarding the Comp

ton to eliminate $725,000 from the Po-

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Lord Bryce. former
British Ambassador in Washington.
commenting on the work of the Peace
Conference, says that the principle OF
nationality proclaimed in President Will
sons fourteen points was accepted In all
belligerent countries and was the basis
of the armistice, but that 1t had not been
followed out in the Peace Conference.
He declared also that although the
conference had been sitting since last
January. not much had been heard about
It's proceedings. The veteran British
diplomat remarked the members OF the
conference had not yet arrived at that
open diplomacy" of which SO much
had been said. and declared that II they
had not been too much occupied at home
the English people would not have al
lowed so much to be kept from them.
Lord Bryce said he thought the con-
ference had committed some grave err
rors and was in serious danger of COM
hitting others Under the treaty signed
with the little bit of Austria which re-
manned. he said. $4,000 Tyrolese were
taken and handed over TO Italy. He said
he had searched In vain for the reason
for this action, but could ind none, al
though 1t was totally opposed to the
doctrine OF nationality. The Italian
Government said It wanted the Tyrolese
territory for strategic purposes. but Lord
Bryce declared they could not want It
for that purpose against practically
bankrupt State of only 100000 persons.

TITTONI POSTPONES
PARIS DEPARTURE
Awaits Conclusion of Impor-
FAINT Discussions.

PARIS, Oct. Silt Is announced that
the departure for Rome OF Signor Tit
toni. the italian Foreign Minister has
been postponed until after the conclusion
of important discussions by the SUI
preme Council.
1t is understood that the Adriatic
question will not necessarily prolong the
life of the Peace Conference. There Is
no disposition among many OF the peace
delegates to drag out the conference
much longer for the discussion of the
European political questions involved in
the Rumanian and Italian difficu't!.i
Unless the conference can s4.cdily
reach an agreement with Rumania and
compel It to discontinue its interference
in Hungarian Affairs there seems little
chance that peace treaty can be ne
gotiated with Hungary at present. In
which case the conference will probably
close without making that treaty.
Indications are that the Bulgarian
treaty will be signed within a week or
ten days. December l is now looked
hpon as the latest probable date for the
adjournment of the conference.

tan Premier. has come out boldly in a
