TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF PEACE.
MUST REPLY IN FIVE DAYS
Revised Document, It Is Said, Will
Permit Enemy to Have 200,000 Army
Her Admission to Nations League
Fixed for "Near Future."
Psrls. President Wilson probably
trill remain in Paris only threo or four
days after his return from Belgium
next Friday. Ho will then ombark at
a French port for the United States.
Tho stage is set for tbo closing
scenes of tho poaco congress, bo far
as tho Germans nro concerned. With
in a fow hours it is expected that tho
Germans will bo told the terms,
brought down to an irrcduciblo mini
mum on which tho allied and associ
ated governments are ready to tako
up relations on a poace footing with
tho new German republic.
Tho period of fivo days after deliv
ery of tho reply of tho allies to tho
German counter proposals has been
fixed for tho signature or rejection of
tho treaty.
It is intimated from Paris that Ger
many's admission to the Icaguo of na
tions Is sot far tho near future. Pre
vious dispatches had indicated that tho
roply to Count von Brockdorff-Kuntzau
would merely Btato tho conditions con
oldored necessary for Germany's entry
into tho Icaguo, such ns fulfillment of
tbo treaty terms and of Germany's in

Rhine Occupation.
Important for Germany as well aa
for the allied countries is a plan out
lined in tho answer to tho German
counter proposals. Thla provided for
civil rather than military administra
tion of tho region on the left bank
of tbo Ithlno. Undor the proposal au
thority would bo placed in tho hands
of a commission consisting of one
member for each of the great powers,
thus rendering unnecessary mainte
nance of a largo occupational forco.
As Germany under the torniR of tho
armlstlco stands obligated to pay tho
oxponses of tho military occupation of
tho Ilhlnolund, the sums saved to her
by tho substitution of civil for mili
tary administration would bo enor
mous. Allowed Army of 200,000.
Germany Ib to bu nllowed au army
of 200,000 mon for threo years. This
Ib one of tbo changes in tho poaco
(orniB which had been zealously kept
socrot.
Tho reason for this doubling of tbo
previous number of offoctlvus is tho
impossibility of adjusting tho nrmluj
of Czechoslovakia and othor now
iitatcb proportionately to tho previous
ly arranged 100,000 mon for Germany,
Gormany's admission to tho loaguo
of nations is fixed for "tho ueur fu
ture." Hor admission will enable Germany
to bring up for discussion her eco
nomic propositions. Germany will bo
given four months to submit to tho
allied proposals dealing with hor total
indebtedness through reparations and
methods for tho paymont thereof. She
may propose morchundlBo and labor,
Tho allies tiro to roply within two
months.
A plebiscite for Upper Sllenla will bo
taken within six to eighteen mouths.
A clauso deals with tho protection
by tho longuu of nations of Gorman
minorities inhabiting tho districts
taken from Germany. . Another dials

which will administer tho left bank

troops, to which tho existing mllltury
commission will bo subordinated.

AMEND FINANCIAL CLAUSES
Latest Information From Berlin Indi
cates Germany Will Sign If
Plebiscite In Silesia Is
Granted.
Purls, June 10. The pence treaty
will virtually be rewritten so nB to em
body tho changes decided upon In the
allied reply to tho German counter
proposals, which now Is being framed
for early delivery to the German pleni
potentiaries. Tho treaty will not bo
altered In principle, but virtually u
new document will be presented to Uie
Germans.
It was commented In pejice confer
ence circles that this action renders
obsolete the text published In the
United States.
Latest American diplomatic informa
tion from Berlin Indicates an Increas
ing probability of the treaty being
signed If n plebiscite In Silesia Is
granted and admission to tho League
of Nations is promised.
The council of four devoted both of
Us sessions on Friday to tho revision
of the text of tho treaty. When the
forenoon Hussion ended tho council hud
sent to tho revision commission nine
out of eighteen reports.
Among thoso remaining to be passed
upon nro the articles dealing with the
Surro valley, Alsace-Lorraine and the
Longuu of Nations. The revision com
mission, which is in constant session,
Is headed by Andre Tardieu of the
French mission. Mr. Hudson is the
American member.
Tho financial clauses will bo amend
ed to give the reparations commission
discretion to authorizu Germany to
raise working capital for restarting
her Industries nnd enable her to pay
reparations.
Tho orlglnnl text established an ab
solute first charge upon German as
sets, and revenues to meet reparations
payments, which condition tho repara
tion commission could not wuivo even
in Instances where n waiver was ad
visable from tho viewpoint of tho al
lies' Interests.
Most of tho divergencies from the
old text In the revised treaty are of a
minor nature, but some are important.
This Is notably true of the second par
agraph of article 232.
Tho English text of tho old docu
ment limited compensation Germany
was to make to damage done the civ
ilian population of tho allied and as
sociated powers and to their property
"during the period of the belliger
ency of each as au allied or associat
ed power ngniiiHt Germany."
This wording excluded American
losses during the period of tho neutral
ity of tho United States and Italian
losses during the time when Italy was
at war with Austria, but not with Ger
many. The now text covers such
losses and requires Germany to pay.
Tho French text contained no such
limit clnuse. Tho drafting committee
had lived the words "may" and "shall"
Interchangeably In translating tho
same French expression. Aside from
tho divergencies hero noted, the repa
rations clauses will .go Into tho new
treaty virtually unchanged.

"bolshevlsts of the United States,"
who, ho said, were allied with tho I.
W. W. and for whom the working men
of America had no sympathy whatever

creed. Bolshevism, tho secrotarj said,
essentially created obligatory labor,
or virtual slavery; nnd all working
men hud been fighting against slavery
since tho day of Moses. Reconstruc
tion problems, tho secretary added,
can bo met by evolution rather than
by rovolutlon. Tbo power of the bal
lot, ho said, will enable labor to get
any reforms It desires.
