PARIS, Jan 11,—Problems of great importance ar upying Pres- ident Wilson's time while he is wait- ing for opening conversations with premiers of the allied nations. He is studying the food situation, the acute question of demob ation and the extent to which he will support the claims Italy will make before the con- gress. It is understood that President Wil- son has informed Premier Orlando of Italy as to his attitude relative to Italian aspirations east of the Ad- riatic. He is not expected to approve Italian dom ion of the Adriatic but probably will support Italy’s de- mand that her eastern coast be made safe from military threats. PARIS, Jan. 11.—Conferences at which the terms of peace will be fixed will be held in the cloakroom of the French foreign office at Quai d’Orsay. French delegates are hopeful that the peace treaty itself will be signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles where Germany dictated peace terms. to France at the conclusion of the Franco-Prussian war of 1871.
