Washington May z: All official
Washington was reserving its COM
ment on the peace treaty tonight while
carefully scanning the published OF
fetal summary Of its terms. In con-
gress, where the treaty must run the
gauntlet of the senate's ratification,
both the leaders who are expected to op-
pose it and those who are expected to
support it were holding back state
ments while they studied its proVls-
ions. Some statements were prom
ised for tomorrow. Expressions from
the executive departments were OBJ
viously lacking since the president and
the secretary of state are in Paris from
where it was assumed they would
make any statement on behalf OF that
branch of the government. One eX-
expression here general in government
circles, however, was that the official
summary justified the great majority
OF the press dispatches from Paris Tor
the last five months. There were lew
surprises and these related rather TO
the methods by which some OF the op-
jects of the treaty have been approach
ed rather than the objects themselves.
AS a monumental production OF dip
lomacy, the treaty takes a place in the
state department archives not only
for it's great length, but for its tre-
mendous scope and the fashion In
which the great variety of subjects Is
treated.
Won Jagow, former German sec
retary of state for foreign affairs, has
published a book, entitled Universal
War, Its Causes and Beginning" He
asserts that before the war, he was
convinced of the necessity OF the
friendship of Great Britain. He re-
grets that Germany so unfavorably re-
ceived in 1899 the overtures OF an al
lance made for Great Britain by
Joseph Chamberlain. Won Jagow says
that when the Austro-Hungarian am
baSsador to Germany communicated
to him the text of the ultimatum 10
Serbia, he regarded it as too rigorous.
He expressed regret that Germany
had been so tardily informed OF the
steps taken at Vienna. Won Jagow re-
grets that the supposed French hostl-
lities on German territory were the
pretext of a declaration of war on
France. He says these purely ina
ginary stories were reported to the
German foreign staff by subordinates
and the staff communicated the lntor-
nation to the government without first
ascertaining the truth OF the reports.
Agriculture in the battle-Swept
fields OF France and Belgium will re-
sumo it's peaceful labor In mucn more
satisfactory frame OF mind II the lnNen-
ton of Mr.. Gutton, professor Oh physics
at Nancy, France, fulfills its promise,
and can go ahead Oh the laliliei anu tha
clear his path of hidden dangers in the
soil. War has left many an explosive
i'm the fields. UneXploded hand gre
nades lie near the surface, and are
considered more dangerous imam the
shells that have gone deeper but all
these dangers have metal coverings,
and the device invented by Mr. Gutton
is made to reveal them by ringing an
electric bell whenever 1t Is moved over
the ground and comes near metai.
Practically 1t is a portable metal hnder
somewhat akin to the electrical ap-
paratus used in sweeping" the ocean
for concealed mines. Just now II is
hard to think of any invention OF more
immediate value.
THE following official communlca-
tion has been issued from Paris last

be formulated to bring about the COM
plcte economic isolation of Germany
in the event that the German delegates
should refuse to sign the preliminaries
of peace. The blockade section was
directed to draw up and submit for the
approval of the council of foreign min
listers, a plan of blockade measures to

the associated governments desire to
have recourse to economic coercion.
