The stage is rapidly being set for
the final phase of the peace negotia
tions. Yesterdays plenary, session ot
tne peace conference stamped its ap
proval on the covenant of the league
or nations, while today Germany's
plenipotentiaries arc expected to arrive
at Versailles to Join members of the
mission already there. ' ,
Home points in the peace treaty to be
presented tne Hermans are as yet un
settled, but it Is considered probable
the clauses involved will shortly be
ready i for Incorporation In the docu
ment, so that completed treaty will be
ready for the enemy delegates by the
week end.
Italy was not represented at the ple
nary session yesterday, but dispatches
from Rome indicate the probability
that her delegates will reiurn to Paris
after a brief period.
The Italian parliament will meet to-
dny and It is expected Premier Orlan
do will at once appear and lay before
it the situation which arose at Parts
when President Wilson made his pub
lic statement relative to Flume and the
Dalmatian coast. ' '
Advices from. Rome state that the
semi-official view ot the situation there
is that Italy baa not definitely wltn
drawu trom the pae -conference, but
has merely suspended participation. If
the vote of the Italian parliament is
favorable to the position taken by Pre
mier Orlando, it is probable that the
dlplomalc battle will be resumed In
