The nature of the indicated sola- j tion, however, has not yet been dis- | closed. Nether the Japanese nor the • Chinese delegates appeared during ■ j the lirst hour of the session, nor was there any appearance on the! 1 part of the Belgians, whose linan | cial claims have been under con- . ! sidcration by the Council, j It was understood this forenoon. I | however, that the Japanese would | lie called in during the afternoon j j for further consideration of ttie sug '| .tested compromise regarding Kiao ' Chan. Council Meets Knrly i The Council of Three met to-day j a half-hour earlier than usual.! i While no program was announced, j lit. was believed the Italian situation l las developed by the Parliamentary! j endorsement of the Italian delega-! tion's position was to be considered ] ; and the discussion over Kiao Chau 1 resumed. It is planned in Peace Conference! circles to go ahead with the treaty j of peace without regard to any ac-1 tion by Italy, as it is considered] probable the Italian delegation will ] not return, certainly not within the next week. The delivery of the treaty and the first exchanges with the Germans, therefore, will occur without, the participation of Italy,! and it is said in American quarters ] that this procedure will go forward ] I steadily up till the signing of the! I treaty. The lirst reading with the [ Germans will probably occur Friday ! afternoon or Saturday, when the! | pact will be presented. Discussion to lie ISrtcf A day or two will bo given for| j questions concerning interpretations! > of different phases of the conven- j tion, without, however, involving a I ■ prolonged discussion, i Reports from lierlin are some-1 I what contradictory concerning Gcr- 1 I many's purposes, as some reports in-1 ! dicate that an early signing of the] treaty is probable, while others say | that it is doubtful whether the pact I will be signed at all. These reports, I coming from different sources, indi ( cate a lack of concerted attitude as j to the treaty and show there is dis j position to leave the decision largely with the German plenipotentiaries, j who are now at Versailles. | Premier Orlando's government and t&o Italian delegation at the Peace Conference received a vote of confidence from the Italian Parlia ment last night. The vote in the Chamber of Deputies was 382 to 40 , and in the Senate was unanimous. To Proceed With Treaty What effect this action will have on the Council of Three of the Peace Conference is problematical. Paris advices carry the view, how ever, that, the return of the Italian delegation is not expected, for the present at least, and that it is planned to proceed with the process i of making peace with Germany re ! gardless of any action by Italy. the rival claims of Ja pan and China to the former Ger-I man fortress of Kiao Chau are re-I ported to have been reconciled. I, From a statement made in authori tative quarters, according to a Paris |' dispatch it appears that a plan has < been formulated which, it is hoped, , will prove acceptable to China and Japan. What the nature of the pro- ' j posed solution is remains undisclop- • I cd. The question was under con- , i sideration by tlie Council of Three • I in a long session with the Japanese < | delegates yesterday. , Germans at Versailles The full German delegation which ' I is to receive the terms of the Allies I lato this week is now at Versailles.
