IVashingtou. May 4.

Carter Class, secretary of the treasury, has issued the following appeal for subscriptions io the Victory Loan: The Victory Liberty Loan campaign is two-thirds over, but subscriptions have been reported for little more than one-third of th loan. Is it conceivable that the American people, who with heart and soul waged the fight for freedom, will permit this loan of Victory and Thanksgiving to fail? Our sons gave of their health, of their strength and of their lives, that freedom might not perish. There are one and a half million American boys in France, and Germany. Now that the war is ended, it would be as reasonable for them to dishonor the nation by deserting the flag as for the nation to dishonor itself by deserting them. Is it a large thing that we are now asked to lend our money to pay the cost of victory? Is American money less willing than American manhood? Let every one of the millions who have bought Liberty bonds buy Victory notes, and success is sure.

Friendliest Invitation. Issued. The Council of Three considered the Italian situation in its deliberations during the past two days and finally determined upon an initiative of the friendliest nature. The term of the communication to the Italian government have not been disclosed but it is belieTed they seek to remove the personal element of the controversy and to pave the way for a territorial adjustment when the relations are resumed.

May I By the Associat- cd Press.) The question of Italian representation at the peace negotiations, so tar as can be ascertained, has not been raised by the German delegates. Certainly it was not touched upon at the meeting of the Interallied and German Credentials Commissions here Thursday. The Germans had this point in reserve nnd according to indications would probably have raised it had the Interallied representatives at the njiseting questioned their right to speak for Germany with Bavaria in rebellion or enjoying semi-independence, but were so satisfied that M. Cambon instead proposed an exchange of credentials for verification that they did not go out of their way to seek trouble.

M11 4. Public opinion in Belgium has been upset by the news from Paris concerning what is described as the unsatisfactory decisions reached by the Feaee Conference respecting Belgium. Xewspupers of all shades of opinion express their disappointment and it is said the Belgian government might appeal directly to public opinion in the l.nited States and in Great Britain, recalling the formal promises made to Belgium by the resi.iousil.ilc heads of both those countries. The Burgomaster of Antwerp in a proclamation has Informed the inhabitants that he has sent to the Belgian delegation in 'Paris a telegram asking them to insist upon complete indemnification reconstruction, the immediate introduction of raw materials aud a revision of the treaty of 1S30.
