Previous advices had shown that I the Treaty had been examined, by ! the privy council and that at a nieet ! ing on Monday last it was upproved ]by the council without reservation I and submitted to the emperor, j Japan's favorable action on the i Treaty leaves the pact unratified by only one of the five great powers signatory to the Versailles conven tion —the United States. It had pre viously been ratified by the parlia ments of Great Britain and France, which later completed all the pro cesses of ratification. Italy ratified the Treaty by royal decree, which, it has been held, must have the ap proval of parliament. It seems to have been conceded, however, that the royal confirmation of the docu ment was sufficient to bind Italy in | her relations With the other powers, j This point, however, loses something i in international'importance by rea son of Japan's ratification. The terms of the Treaty stipulate that the ratitlcatloh by three of the prin cipal poweis puts it irrto effect as to those powers and Germany. Japan's ratificxUion in addition to the definite approval of the document by Great Britain and France, furnishes the required number of agreeing powers without regard to the action of Italy. The only formality remaining is the issuance by the French govern ment of a process-verbal announcing the ratifications made and decHxrftig the Treaty in effect. The European powers that have ratified have de posited copies of the ratified docu ment in Paris. Japan will not be required to take this action, the Treaty providing that powers of which the seat of government is out side Europe will be entitled merely to inform the French government through their diplomatic represen tatives in Paris that their ratifica tion has been given, the instrument of ratification to be deposited as soon as possible later.

PEACE MEETING MAY END SOON I | Probably Will Close Without Reaching Agreement on Hungarian Treaty By Associated Picas I Purls, Oct. 31. —The end of No j veinber may see the elosie of the i Paris Pc&ce Conference, which has j negotiated the Peace Treaties with [Germany and Austria and iias carried [the negotiations with Bulgaria wed , towards completion. { Unless the Conference can speed- I ily reach an agreement with Un j mania and compel it to discontinue i its interference in Hungarian affairs ■ there seems little chance that a Peace 'Treaty can be negotiated with Hun jgary at present, in which case the Conference will probably close with out making that Treaty. The Adriatic question will not necessarily prolong the life of the Conference and there is no dispo sition among many of the Peace Relegates to drag out the Conference much • longer for the discussion of the-European political questions in volved in the Rumanian and Italian difficulties. December 1 is now looked upon as the latest probable date for the adjournment of the Conference Rumania is sending a speeiul dele gate to Paris to discuss its differ ences with the Conferences, and a definite settlement of the Rumanian tangle or the abandonment of tli? effort at disentanglement is expected very shortly. Indications are that the Bulgarian Treaty will be signed within a week or ten days. Then the discussions will begin with Rumania in the at tempt to settle the question arising from its seizure of Hungarian property and its object to guarantee ing the rights of minorities, which was the cause of its refusal to sign the Austrian Peace Treaty. Seventy Enrolled in New Evening Classes Seventy students have been enrolled jji the Technical High School shop courses. The registration already has been particularly encouraging. It will be continued all of next week. The courses offered there for reg.- istration shop engineering, steam engineering and applied elec tricity. Of these courses the greatest amount of matriculation was in the course of shop engineering. There were numerous inquiries about ap plied electricity, but not enough to warrant the course being started. It is hoped to secure enough additional students, however, to start these classes. Classes are to be held Monday and Thursday evening in Technical" High School. They are to be under the di rection of Professor C. E. Zorger, su pervisor of special activities, with W. R. Young, district representative of State College. A diploma from the Engineering Extension Division 6t the Pennsylvania State College is giv en for the satisfactory completion of any of the courses, which brings the State College to the door of the student. Assisting Mr. Zorger in his work in these courses are Professors Davis, Hiller and Winegartner. Mr. HjUer is a former Williajnson Trades School athlete and captained thb football team on two of its most successful season. 1 TITTONI POSTPONES DEPARTURE By Associated Press I Paris, Oct. 31 (HavasX. —lt is an nounced that the departure for Rome of Signor Tittoni, the-Italian foreign minister, nas been postponed until after the conclusion of important dis cussions by the Supreme Council.
