VERSAILLES, June 16.-(By the As sociated Press) The reply of the allied and associated governments to Ger mauy's counter proposals and a revised lopy of the peace treaty tonight are in the hands of Count von Brockdorff- Rantzau, who is on his way to Weimar, there to present to the German national assembly the final word of the victors in the war.
 Few changes have been made in the revised treaty. Five days was the al- lOtted period originally fixed for the Germans to answer yes or no to the de- mands of the allies. But two days ad- ditional have been granted because of the insistence of the German delegation that not sufficient time has been al- lowed for proper consideration of the revised terms. This will extend the time limitation to Monday June 23. If Gormany's s reply is ''yes" the treaty will he immediately signed; if Germany de- clines to accede to the demands, the Irmistice will automatically be termi- mated and the allied armed forces will take whatever steps they deem requisite 10 the occasion.
 The revised treaty contained inter lne2tions in red ink, where changes had been made in it. It had been i'm possible to reprint the treaty in time for it's presentation today.
 The covering note to Premier Clem- cnceau severely castigates Germany for protesting againt the treaty on the ground that the teaty conflicts with the terms of the armistice. M. Clemenceau says Germany fails to understand the position she occupies today in the esti- nation of the world, for being respon- sible for a war which was the greatest crime against humanity and the free dom of the people that any nation call ing itself civilized, has ever consciously committed
 Delivery Unceremonious
 Without ostentation, Paul Dutasta, general secretary of the peace confer cnce, at 6;49 o'clock this evening placed fine revised draft of the treaty and the note in the hands of German Legation Secretary simon and Baron von Loers- ner. Herr Simon protested against the short time given Germany to make known her intentions.
 M. Dutasta arrived in Versailles at 6:20 o'clock carrying the momentous documents in two parcels wrapped in prosaic brown paper and was conducted to the reading room of the Hotel Reser- voirs.
 Here the party was grouped along one side of the room. In front of M Dutasta was a large marble topped table, upon which the documents were placed in two piles. The Germans took their place at the other side of the table.
 At 6:49 o'clock. Herr Simon infor- mally reached across the table and took the documents and handed them to t-n1 I I, stiHting the formal receipt of the treaty and the ultimatum. A receipt from the Germans for the documents was re- quired.
 The Germans then returned to their apartment in the hotel. Non Loersner carrying the documents under his arm in green portfolio.
