PREMIERS IN CONFERENCE President's IIIu6s Heportcd to JIave Been Only Reason for Advice "ot Being Sent. ili! ' I VTIS .-romnwwwmmww , " I II ! It: i V WASHINGTON. Da 13. Frquent conferences between entente diplo mats here have indicated that" their government might be prepared to ac cept some reservations to the peace treaty jn order to accomplish its rati fication in the senate and it is under stood that only the Illness of Presi dent Wilson has prevented him from being: so advised by some of them. It has not been made known here to what extent the entente powers might be prepared to go. but it does appear that there would be final ob jection to the preamble as proposed by the senate foreign relations com mittee by which other powers would be required officially to record their acceptance of reservations as part of the treaty In substance. PARIS, Dec. 13. (Havas.) As a re sult of the conferences bein,-, held at London by Premiers Lloyd George and C'iemenceau, the American govern ment will be notified that In order to facilitate a compromise between ad verse parties in the American senate, the allies are willing to accept, to as great an extent as possible; some of the reservations to the Versailles treaty, made by the foreign relations committee, according to the Matin. It is said the allies will do every thing possible in order that America may participate in future conferences. Premier Form Council. Important problems, the newspaper Bays, will henceforth be settled by a council of the premiers of France, England and Italy. This council will meet sometimes in Paris and some times in London and will examine principally Kussian and Turkish pfob-lems. In tho presence of John W. Davis, T'nitcd States ambassador to Great Britain, it is said, Premiers Clemen reau and Lloyd George assured Vit tori Suialoia, Italian foreign minis ter, that there was a necessity for an early settlement of the Flume problem, and indicated England would, intercede with" the United States for Italy. Signor Sclaloia will leave for Itome today to lay the matter before tho government. Conference Spirit Good. Tho spirit which prevails at the London conference, the Matin says, is good and the necessity for close co-" operation by tho allies is recognized. LONDON, Dec. 13. (By the Asso ciated Press.) The British prime minister, David Lloyd George, and the 1- rench premier, M. Clemehceau. to night completed a three-day confer ence on the main outstanding inter-1 national questions relating to the peace settlement, principally that con corning Turkey. The American, Japa nese and Italian ambassadors and l'rench and British financial experts I were called In at various times while the Italian foreign minister, Signor M-iHioia, took a prominent part. The confeience covered a wide range of subjects and a brief official statement issued tonight records that satisfactory agreements were ar rived at on all outstanding points." i?o far as Is known, the American ambassador, John YV . Davis, partici pated only in the Adriatic discussion. He emphatically denied the report to night that the conference had sub mitted proposals to President Wil son for the revamping of the treaty and that he had been called in to dis cuss them. What was wanted of him. or what advice he may have given, is I careiuiiy concealed. The London political writers are at wide variance regarding the proceed ings of the conference, none of them apparently being really informed as to what lias transpired. Premier Clemenceau will leave for Paris bunday. lingine Jumps Track, 1 Killed. SEATTLE, Wash., Dee. 18. (Spe cial.) A Great Northern engine jumped tne track when it struck rock near Cascade tunnel.
