Ferguson . (United Press Correspondent) Paris, April 12.—Talk of an Easter peace has given way today. to the promise of a May day peace. While the most chro‘mc optimists admitted that the last hope for a peace by April 20 apparently had vanished, there is a general feeling that the treaty will be ready for presentation to the Germans by the first of May at the latest. Persons close to the “Big Four” representatives indicated that an agreement virtually has been reached on all the import- ant questions, including reparations, responsibility for the war, the Saar Valley, disposition of Fiume and Danzig and the German boundaries. nayy svssourms ron o :HEART OF HUMANITY' SCHOOL ANNUAL “MEDDLER” i A]rengy }%‘Eflh co;;ieslof “Thle I]\llicd- BRIN(S PRMSE FROM er,” the high school annual, have ’ been subscribed for, and the students FIRST DAY AUDIENCB are taking much interest in the pub- S lication of the booklet.
