PARIS, May 7 vit was learned in trustworthy quarters today that the United S, Great Britain and France have united in sending a note to Italy <~ “sting an explanation of the landing of Italian forces in Turkey. Premier Orlando is said to have made a reply to the council of! four after a sharp personal incident during which he objected to the presence of Premier Venizelos of | Greece. The latter retired from the; meeting. The Italians landed forces at Adalia, Budrum and Makri, during the period when Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino had vithdrawn from the peace conference, making the landings without notice to the Allies. ‘The reported Italian incident ap- parently complicates the Turkish problem, already a vexed one, with | which the peace conference has been struggling for some time. In evident anticipation of a Greek mandate to administer the Smyrna; district, Allied forces were landed at Smyrna Thursday, meeting with con- siderable resistance from the Turks, | but making themselves masters of the, cit Italian troops are reported to have participated to some extent in the landing. According to a Paris dispatch of; May 20, however, the Italians pre-} viously had landed forces at Adalia, | on the southern coast of Asia Minor, and likewise last week disembarked | troops at Budrum, 96 miles south- east of Smyrna, and at Makri, on the gulf of Makri. ! (By United Press) PARIS, May 22.—That President Wilson him- self is not satisfied with the treaty was the answer friends made today to’ the accumulated objections from within the American mission, which came to a head through the tentative resignation of nine, but the president believes the treaty the best possible to obtain. The president’s associates declare that the whole story of the conferences will tell of agreements made one day, flouted the next, and of understandngs over- turned without forewarning.

They ask recognition on behalf of Ireland. PEACE TREATY BUT THINKS IT BEST OBTAINABLE, SAY FRIENDS Even the final form of the treaty is not that in which it came from the printer. many changes in the text since it was printed. Some are due “to the fact that as the printed treaty did not represent the exact agreements reach- ed by the big five, consequently the Americans are going over the treaty with a fine comb. The president’s friends say that he worked un- ceasingly to make a settlement of every issue square with his avowed principles, or when this wes imposs- ible at least to obtain a settlement which the League of Nations would be enabled to correct eventually.

A surprise is in store for many of the visitors, for while some are familiar with the progress Casper has made in spite of war handicaps and contributing factors, the ma- jority are strangers to the fact that Casper has jumpd into the lead of Wyoming cities since their last visit in point of industries, population and the energies that make for a thriving metropolis. All of which will be brot to their attention in realistic manner late this efternoon by a tour of the city to include the refineries, the vantage points on the south from which a comprehensive view can be gained and a circle drive thru the residence section. Automo- mobiles have been promised and after | | i tion the visitors will be loaded into rs and given a glimpse of the city. The personnel of the excursion- ists shows a large number of prom- inent men, leaders in the Omaha bus- iness world and who already have a wide acquaintance in this section. The roster of the party follows: A special dispatch to the Tribune today reported the excursionists leaving Thermopolis ahead of sched- ule after having left Billings at 3 z, m. Wednesday. The first stop was made at Red Lodge where the party was taken down the largest coal mine in Montana. They then doubled back and stopped at Joliet, Silesia, Edgar, Fromberg and Bridger. The first stop in Wyoming was at Cowley in the Big Horn valley and thence to Lovell, Kane, Greybull, Basin, Menderson, Worland and Thermopolis. Fifteen stops in all were made Wednesday, at seven of which band ;concerts and parades featured the occasion. | At Greybull the boosters were jtaken thru the oil refineries while at Worland a trip was made over the irrigated farm lands. Business- men of Thermopolis took the party to the Hot Springs bethhouse, which was highly appreciated by the dusty ‘travelers.

Once the enemy sees that the allies mean business, either the present delegates or a substituted delegation will sign “under protest,” is the way the! French figure it.

Owing to the weight of sentiment against the pavement of East Second street the city council last night, abided the protests of the property owners in the district and on motion “indefinitely postponed” the work in that district. Nearly a score of property owners appeared before the council last night, which sat in special session to hear the remonstrances on creating the district. Diverse reasons for de- laying the work were placed before | the council, ending in the council giv- ing up the improvement. Not to let the remainder of the city be guided by the acts of the East Second street property owners! the council immediately passed a reso- lution of intention to pave districts 11 and 12 this summer. These two districts will connect up all streets in| the main part of town which have! not already been affected by the im- provement campaign inaugurated this summer, \U. S.

ADHERE TO A. P. STATEMENT. (By Associated Press.) BERLIN, May 22.—The German cabinet’s declaration, issued officially and exclusively, through the Associ. ed Press Tuesday, that Germany would decline to sign the peace terms as presented at Versailles, reflects the underlying note of the official reply to be made the Allied powers. In fact the statement as a whole practically represents the preamble of the docu- ment which Count von Brockdorff- Rantzau, head of the German de! tio expected to deliver at Ver- sailles before the end of the present week. The document will be com- plemented by specific proposals which will bring the volume up fo about 60 typewritten pi Delay of several days in framing the reply has been due to absence of confirmation from Count von Brock- dorff-Rantzau and his associates at Versailles of the decisions reached at Berlin. The Germans have been car- rying on deliberations at Versailles, Spa and Berlin, this separation mak- ing more difficult the work of co- ordination and unifying the steps de- cided upon. In Berlin there appears to have been the greatest difficulty, as the work of getting the peace com- missioners and national assembly in agreement is said to have been much delayed through constant interven- tion of party leaders. The material contents of the Ger- man reply are now agreed upon. The German counter proposals will be of a definite character, some framed to invite revision of the present terms- It is also believed that the Germans will suggest that neutral arbitrators be called in where the issues are com- plex and the appointment of mixed commissions will be asked to pass on the restoration of devastated districts, and on international trade. BERLIN, May 22.—The Greater Berlin soldiers and workers’ council adopted a resolution today demanding that the peace treaty be signed and appealing to the proletariat of all Allied countries.
