land Thorn is situated on the Vis-
tula river, just inside the Russo-Ger-
man boundary. Briesen is 200 miles
northeast of Thorn and Kuhn twenty

Paris, March 13.-.All reports from
Germany indicate that the Ebert gov
ernment, growing weaker daily, ]:

final session of the Peace Conference
A train already has been ordered to
| be in readiness. The German delega-
tion is said to consist of 200 men. 1t
is still uncertain how and where they
are to be lodged here. Tt is possible
they will remain quartered on the
special train. The German plenipo-
tentiaries are expected to object to
every item in the final treaty OF peace,
but the allies and America are ready
to call their "ctief of police" Mar
shal Foch, to give due emphasis to the
necessity on the Germans part to
"sign on the dotted line"
The peace treaty with Germany is
likely to be completed this week, if
the present schedule of the Supreme
War Council is maintained.
Included in the terms discussed
yesterday were disposition of the
German cables and the future status
Of Helgoland The question of what
is to become of the German navy
was not discussed.
The waterways commission submit
.ed a report for inclusion in the pre-
liminary peace treaty providing the
Kiel Canal shall be opened for free
passage of warships and merchant
men in peace time. The canal would
remain under control of Germany, but
its Notifications would be disanantled.
The commission also recommended
that the Rhine be opened to naviga-
tion for France and other countries
bordering on it.

ION was expressed yesterday by high
government officials that peace may
be an accomplished fact without
ratification of the peace treaty by the

will be for the President to issue
