'MO PEACE PACTS
DRAWN BY ALLIES
ENJOYS Confer on Last Questions
Awaiting Settlement.
BIG FOUR NEAR THE FINISH
First Document Concerns the HUNS
oniy-The Second Will Be Signed
by Austrian, Bulgarian and
Turkish Delegates.

Paris, April 16.-The peace treaty
viii be divided into two parts, accord
Ing to the latest information in the
French press.
The first part will concern Ger
many, and will include a clause by
which she will pledge herself to COM
pig with all agreements to be con-
cl6deG with her former allies. The
second part will not concern Ger
many directly, and will be signed only
by the Austrian, Bulgarian and Turk
ish delegates.
Germans Formally invited.
A formal invitation was sent by the
government to send representatives
to Versailles for the meeting Of the
peace congress April %. No reply
had been received up to last night, but
it is expected the German delegation
will reach Versailles about April "a.
The complete German peace mission
probably will number about 200 per-
sons. The German delegates while at
Versailles will reside in a wing OF the
prefecture of police according to ar
rangements announced by Paul Dutas-
Ia, general secretary of the peace con-
ference
French delegates will occupy the
rest of the hotel, once the home OF
Nine de POmpadour.
Most of the French and other dele
gates probably will go to Versailles
daily to attend the meetings with the
German delegates at the TrianOn Pal
ace hotel, where the supreme war
council has had it's headquarters The
meetings with the Germans, it seems
probable, will continue ten or fifteen
days.
The treaty will be signed in the fa-
NOUS Hall of Mirrors in the palace at
Versailles.
Debate Adriatic Question.
The council of four took up the
question of the Adriatic again. Arthur
J. Balfour, secretary for foreign af-
fairs, took the place of Premier Lloyd
George, who went to London.
A plan for selling surplus stocks of
raw materials of the allies to the
German government prior to the sign
ing of the peace treaty has been ap-
proved by the supreme economic cOun-
eli.
A special committee will perfect the
arrangements in conjunction with the
blockade and finance sections Of the
economic council.
