 The four questions first n that the President at least with the aid of Congress- end the by declaration of peace and that consequently there no need and at least no particular hurry to execute treaty of peace.
 We shall presently a very stupid and ignorant and impossible proposed President by Senator who either himself thinks that the people who will read his questions may be deceived
 The treaty of peace is agreement to end the The German armies being imminent danger of destruction, Ger assened to certain understandings in of which the United States and the American people directly cerned But these will become binding upon Germany until the treaty ratified by each concerned

 Now mark Senator Falls third question: which prime stupidity probably any question by responsible statesman officially to chief magistrate of great country.

 With the United States would be agreements pending ratification treaty changed in any degree whatever Germany would be under obligation to cep Amerca's only would be to start war, O take what might be offered.
 Germany valves all claims against any allied or associated government growing of the nternment of Ger nationals in China or their repatriation

 The German government undertakes to admit to its terri tory without distinction all persons liable to repatriation America has Germans wnom it desires to send back.
 Germany undertakes restore ali articles securities, and documents which belong to America.

 Germany makes certain agreements for separations.
 Including separations for damages of many sorts to prop erty and persons
 And separations damages pensions whether in the air, service mutlated wounded sick invaded and to the de- pendents of victims capi talized.
 These merely few of the many stpuatons in tho which valid to America if America rates the treaty not valid if America fails to raty.
