PARIS, May 6.-The plenary peace conference completed it's work today, so far as Germany is concerned, and at d secret plenary session communicated the terms of the peace treaty to all the powers represented at the confer ence. This was the last act before de- livery Of the treaty to the Germans at Versailles tomorrow. The session was held in the foreign office with the same sitting and distinguished per sonnel as at previous public sessions, except in the case of Italy, which to- day was represented by Dr. Silvio Crospi. the former food administrator bending the arrival of Premier Or lando and foreign minister Sonnino tomorrow.
 NJ. Clemenceau presided, with Presi- dent Wilson at his right and Premier Lloyd George at his left, and the entire membership of the conference grouped around the table. Enormous throngs surrounded the foreign office, watch ing the arrival of the delegates. Those who assembled within the building in cluded Marshal FOch and the British Vice-admiraL Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, with their staffs.
 Session Strictly Secret
 While the session was a secret one, it is understood that Captain Andre Tardieu, representing France, eX- plained the provisions of the docu- ment and was questioned from time to time, the explanations given being full and free.
 Captain Andre Tardieu read a sum mary of the treaty, as the complete printed text was not ready when the session was called. One of the notable features Incorporated in the treaty was that dealing with the responsibility of former Emperor William for causing the war, and providing for his trial by a court of five judges from the great powers. When the reading of the sum mary was concluded, reservations were made in behalf of Portugal, China, Italy and France. although these res ervations are understood as applicable to viewpoints on various phases of the treaty, rather than as objections to the adoption of the pact as a whole.
 Nations Record Reservations
 Portugal objerted to what were said to be clauses giving insufficient finan cisl recognition for the part she had taken in the war. China's objection was made by her foreign minister, who said that in the opinion of the Chinese delegation, the kaio Chau settlement was made without regard to justice foi China or the. protection of China's ter ritorial integrity. He asked for a re- consideration of the question, and il that were impossible, desired to make reservations on the part of China Signor Crespi speaking for Italy, saiC he desired to make reservations re garding any section of the treaty thaf might not be acceptable to Italy. Nc action was taken on these reservations
 The session was held under condi- tions Of unusual secrecy, all doors anC windows being closed despite the fac that the day was exceptionally warm The reading Of the summary began il French, an English interpretation be. ing given lated. When it was observed that many of the delegates were no following the English interpretation A. J. BaifouT, British secretary of stat, for foreign affairs, said that this woul, be abandoned and that the diges would, from that point on. be ore santed in French only.
 Reservations presented raises tn question whether they will be main tained in signing the treaty by tn nations making them, and whether tn conference will permit signatures witt reservations. While this contingenc, is being discussed. the reservations ar not expected to interfere with the pro eedure of presenting the treaty to tn Germans
