will be a speeding up of the final prep
arations, preliminary to the gathering
of the representative, of the asaoeiated
power with the German delegates at
.Versailles' on Ajril- 25. "
There was 'eificeting oj the council
of four at Parts Thursday, and Presi
dent Wilson was thus enabled to take
up many matters with various ' dele
gations which may bo considered side
iasuea of the coming peace settlement.
The problems of many counhies, 'in
cluding Ireland, Rumanic, Serbia and
- Portugal, have th us again eoute under

tliat the matter of the military, naval
and aerial terms, reparatione.respon

As it is-evident that-the question of
the poaaeasion of Fiume and the Dal:
matian coast has not yet bee definitely
settled, the. Italian delegates are work
ing earnestly to secure a decision before,
the Italian Chamber of Deputies- meets
on April 24. ' 1
It is the intention of the aeronautical
commission of the peaco conference to
form a permanent international com
mission on aerial navigation, to act as
kind, of clearing house n-all ques
