The aspiration Of italy as regards the
Adriatc coast still appears to DO the
?usurm ountable question before the
council Of four at the Paris peace con-
Serence.
Sundays discussion OF the italian
sclaimS was followed Monday by two
additional conferences. but as yet there
apparently has been DO breach in the
deadlock over the demands which the
italians consider Hreducibie and the
compromise offer OF the other parttci-
pants IN the negotta tions-Premier
C1enencean David Lloyd George and
President Wilson.

A delay OF three days also Is in pros
pect for the meeting at Versailles be-
tween the representatives OF the allied
and associated powers and the German
delegates for the delivery TO the Ger
mans Of the allied peace terms. The
German delegation. Marshal Foch has
been informed. cannot reach Versailles
until April 22S. Originally they were
invited to be there April IS.
The three days delay. possibly, ma
be of benefit to the allies in completing
the draft Of the lengthy peace docu-
merit. which is said to approximate
100000 words. Some doubt has been
expressed that the allies would be able
to give the Germans more than sum-
mary Of their peace conditions at the
first meeting at Versailles. owing to
the length Of the document.
Talk of the German government send
inig merely messenger at Versailles
to receive the peace treaty Is discount

Marshal Foch that the German delcga-
