The peace treaty formulated by the allied amUassociatcd powers is to he handed to the. German delegates at Versailles Wednesday afternoon. Definite-announcement- of the time when the Germans are to be made cognizant of the price that once im perialistic Germany must pay for hav ing instigated the world war last has been made. „ With peace measureably near by reason of this fact, there now also seems to be good basis for the belief that the differences between Great Britain, France and the United States and Italy over Italy’s claims regarding Fiume and the Dalmatia ncoast may yet be settled with full accord. » Signor Orlando, Italian premier, and his foreign minister. Baron Sonnino. are returning to Paris from Rome where they have been since they quit the ijeace conference piore than a week ago owing to inability to obtain what Italy considered concessions that would satisfy Italian ambitions. With the Italian question settled, al most complete unanimity or sentiment would prevail in the peace conference. The obstacle, represented by the pro tests of the Belgians has been sur mounted by the Belgian crown council deciding unanimously to sign the treaty. It was pointed out by the head of the tfrlgtaTi delegation that the doc ument gave honorable and satisfactory terms to Belgium. China's protests against the award of Kiao Chan to Japan and a number of smaller items are yet^ under dis cussion and the council of three sat Monday afternoon in an endeavor to settle the minor ones. A plenary session of the conference is to be held Tuesday afternoon at which the peace treaty is to'be pre sented to the smaller powers. Comparatively Little BJoodshed Mark ed Radical Celebrations of Interna tional Labor in United States. New York, May 1.—Comparatively little bloodshed marked radical cele brations of international lobor day in the United States. The most serious Versailles, May 5.—President Wil son and Premier Clemeneeau and Lloyd George visited the Trianon this afternoon to inspect the arrangements for the ceremony of handing over the peace treaty to the Germans. They ex pressed themselves as satisfied. President Wilson, who reached Ver sailles at 2:30 o’clock," returned to Paris about 5 o’clock. The two pre miers prolonged their visit for a time. Paris, May'5.—The visit of President Wilson to Versailles this afternoon was inspired, it is understood, by his desire to admit the newspaper correspondents to the ceremony. This desire had met with opposition, one of the grounds being lack of room. The council of three, therefore, decided to look over the situation. Premier Clemeneeau will preside ov er the ceremonies Wednesday and it is announced that the members of the press will be admitted. There will be 8S delegates from the allied countries and six Germans present. rlMittg bel’litT&i in Cleveland where one man was killed and more than 100 persons, including 11 policeman, were injured. Next in importance was a battle between The policaand paraders in Boston darings which four person were shot and many* arrests made. A riot call was sounded in Chicago when radicals attempted to hold a par ade^ which had been forbidden. Sever al persons were arrested hut there was ft® . 0 r . , no casualties. Soldiers and sailors in the city broke up several meetings at which ultra-lib eral sentiments were expressed and al so raided the office of the Call, a social- IST newspaper. They made no at tempt to wreck the publishing planT but destroyed a large quantity of soc ialist literature and roughly handled a dozen employees of the paper. A small army of service men tried pre- sistently tonight to break up a meet ing at Maderson Square Garden but were beaten off by 1,300 patrolmen mobilized around the building. Scores of men in uniform were beaten with night sticks. Rod plans for ;the most gruesome May Day tragedy in history miscarried because of the discovery of bomb plots which had nation-wide rami fications. None of the score or more infernal machines entrusted to the mails has claimed its intended victims. Explosives experts contend that the bombs were powerful enough to blow a man to pieces but only one person‘has been seriously injured by the deadly devices. That was a negro maid em ployed by former Senator Hardwick. Three more' of the dynamite filled packages were found in the mails to day. They were addressed to Senator Overman, who conducted the senate in vestigation into disloyality, to Senator William H. King of Utah and to FYank N. Nebeker, of Salt Lake City, assistant attorney, who was a special prosecutor during the I. W. W. trial in Chicago. Another addressed to Senator Smoot of Utah, is known to have been mailed but has not been traced. New York apparently was the center of the plot, but no arrests have been made thus far although scores of agents af the department of justk office, Inspectors and detectives have scoured the city for some ‘promising clues. The haunts of reds and radi cals have been carefully watched but the chief hope of success in the chase rests in th possibility of finding on the bombs finger prints which may cor respond with those of anarchists and radicals who have been arrested previ ously. * * + * * * * * j SOCIETY. * * -+ * * Quite an interesting meeting of the United Daughters of the Con federacy was held with Mrs. T.
