PARADE OF
BASIS OF UNDERSTANDING WITH
ITALY MAY HE REACHED
THIS AFTERNOON.
FORCES WILL ADVANCE
IF GERMANY REJECTS
Draft of the German Plan For a
League of Xations.Has Been Hand
ed to the League of Nations Com
mission of the Peace Conference
Ultra-Radicalislh Intimated.
(By Associated Press to The Observer;
Paris advices indicate brighter
prospects for a solution of the Italian
problem, which is a pressing one now
that the .peace conference on the
eve of receiving the Austrian dele
gates. It is believed that the basis of
an understanding will be reached to
day. The Italians are reported to be
evincing more of a willingness to
make concessions.
The Austrian delegation is on. the
way to Paris, some members being
already in France. It developed to
day that Count von Brockdorff-Rant-zau
intended to ask permission to send
the German delegates to receive the
Austrian representatives. It had been
previously' announced that the allies
intended to keep the two delegations
wholly apart.
Although it is not believed that the
Germans will refuse to sign the peace
tt-nott. .ntn..tn r..-..,.,, ...... .l ,
advance into Germany if the Germans
reject. Both Kbert and Scheidemann
made statements denouncing the penco
terms. However, they never went so
far as to say that the government
would not sign.
Scheidemann discussed the possibil
ity of a new government taking office
in Germany but declared that it was
doubtful if the formation of a govern
ment which would sign the term?
would be satisfactory to the allies.
The implication was that such a gov
ernment would be ultra-radical.
The draft of the German plan for a
league of nations has been handed to
the league of nations commission of
the peace conference.

PARIS, May 13. The heads of two
German democratic parties and par
ties of the Centrists are reported to
have notified the. chancellor that their
'.parties will withdraw from. the gov
ernment if t"he cabinet decides to sign

MOTHER'S POEM ON DEATH OF HER
SOLDIER SON.
(Today- ns wc welcome home tluvlluspittil Unit, there
is one home circle that is broken; there is one vacant
'.him1 in the Andrews home; there is a voice in the family
circle that will never more be heard. The mother of this
brave boy has written the following lines.)
I went up to his room the other day,
And spent a quiet hour among his things; .
His folks have kept it since he went away,
Just as ho left it how his memory rings.
I touched his tennis racquet on the Avail,
And leaved the pages oLl his book a-liit; .
I lingered o'er his glove, his bat and hall
And felt a sorry joy in doing it.
His cap and shoes and ties were strung about,
As though he'd only gone an hour ago;
It seemed that I could almost hear him shout
A greeting from the landing down below.
. .His mother and his sweetheart, side by side, ' ,..
In picture, smiled as though tlicy saw him there;
His college pennants and his sweater vied
To make me feel his presence everywhere.
Hut just a little while ago the light
Of laughter left his eyes and in its place
A new look came it was the Messed light
Of A'ision, such as God gives in His grace.
. At war time, to see duty toward mankind , ; ,
And country, to inspire amid the fray" !
And knowing this, his room became a shrine'
Wherein we knelt and for him oft did pray. ; '
To his fellow (soldiers who are returning today, I wish
to say that sorrow has overpowered me and I can he with
you only in spirit today.
Mother of Heft Andrew's.
