A Virtually New Document to be

British Have Made Eleventh HouI
Attempt to Reopen Question
Of Preparations

Paris, June 13.--The peace treaty
with Germany will be entirely re-
written and reprinted for incorporation
textuarly of explanations and clarity
cations contained in the allied reply
to German counter proposals While
unchanged in principal, virtually
new document will be presented to the
Germans.
Ii Is understood that the new treaty
will be made public on the day of its
delivery or the day after. The coun.
ell of four, it develops, decided that
simply to attach reply to the original
document was impracticable, as inn
portant clauses would be left obscure
and imperfect. Hence the decision
to rewrite the document.
Ii was commented in peace confer
ence circles today that this action
renders obsolete the text published in
the United States.

made an eleventh hour attempt to re
open the question of reparations

COMMITTEE FAvORs PLAN
Senate viii Take Up Debate On II
Next Tuesday-Adoptlon 81
Is Doubtful

Washington, June 12.-After futile
resistance by Democratic members,
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee today voted to report favor
ably the Knox resolution calling on
the Peace Conference at Paris to
amend the League of Nations coven-
ant, so as to allow any nation to
postpone joining the League.
The committee struck out the fifth
section. which provided that, in the
event of any eventuality threatening
the peace of the world, the United
States would Consult with other pow
ers affected. with the view to devils
ing means for the removal of such
menace the United States entering
the conflict as it did in the world

Later, in the Senate, Mr.. Knox OBJ.
tanned unanimous consent TO have the
resolution received from the commit
tee. This put the resolution before
the Senate which will take II up in
debate next Tuesday.
Republican leaders admitted to-
night that 1t would be extremely diff
ficult to muster enough votes tc
adopt the resolution. Senator Hitch
cock, Democrat Of Nebraska. ranking
member Of the Foreign Relations
Committee, predicted that the Senate
would reject the resolution. The
Democratic program, as understood
tonight, is to fillibuster, so as e
block a vote before Germany signs
the treaty. The Republicans admi
that, if the Democrats attempt TO fill
buster, the resolution may be held vi

we would not only lose none of the
usual attendance, but would attract
visitors from those other towns, who
would be sure to come where the
prospects OF an entertaining spec
tacle and a good time were the best.
To this end. plans were made for
many special features for the fore.
