PARIS Rome Parliament Postpones Session Until May 6 to Learn Defi- nitely Regarding Decision in Adriatic Case; Germany Told to Send Representatives Qualified to Sign the Treaty but Un- important Leaders Are Named to Appear The Italian parliament will not convene until Tuesday, May 6, according to dispatches from Rome. | The postponement evidently was caused by failure of the council of four of the peace conference to reach ;a solution of the problem raised by Italy’s claims to Fiume and the Dalmatian coast.

Berlin advices say these men will have power merely to receive the peace terms and take them to Berlin.
