it is said, has virtually made up his

claims at the peace table and in
formed Premier Orlando of hU de
cision but that it Is probable7: bis
ideas will not be made known pub
licly until the peace delegates have
been ad osed of them. I
It is asserted by persons clos to
the president that he favors "only
partial endorsement of Italy's lam
bitions. The expectation had been
expressed that the president is agree
able to meetins the principal f fea
tures of Italy's claim to territory,
undeniable Italian and essential to
safeguard her sovereignty and at the
same time to recognize the territor

It is anticipated . that the presi

Italy control of the Adriatic, but that
by a project of internationalization
he is willing to satisfy the Italians
that there will be ho mlllUry threat
to the east of them according toi per

the subject.
The president is said to realize
that the Italians are depending, a!

continued denunciations of the Ebert
Scheidemann cabinet, while at the
same time attempting to act as ne
gotiating agent f or the radicals who
are plotting to overtnrow tne gov

the newspaper' not only nf publishing
vicious and distorted account pf
the street fighting and of charging
the government's trotfps with need
less brutality, but also of engaging
in double-dealing and treachery in
sending its henchmen. Including
Hase; Dittmann, Bartb and Breit

Sparatacans. . I
The role of Haase and his friends
in the present conflict is still a mat
ter of conjecture. The fact the for
mer cabinet members and leaders
and Independents has been unable
to prevent his party's newspaper
from publishing the Spartacans' ap
peals and otherwise giving the in
surgents active journalistic aid I is
now generally interreted as proving
that the Haase cohorts .are demand
