House of the American pence mission,
continued today their - conferences
lookini; towurd a settlement of the Ad
riatic question. It wus said that the
outlook was hopeful but it was smd
in official circles thnt over optimism
at present should be discouriiited. -
The Question of the future of the
Dodecanese islands. involved tho
auestion of self determination. Italv
has held the islands since the Tripoli
tan war. but now retires under tlie
'terms of the treatv:of Lucerne which
provided that the islands should be

The council of four, it is said, has
nirreed that Greitt Britain shall be tue
