tho drafting committee has begun work
on the document as q whole The naval
terms as completed contemplate wiping
out the entire Austrian navy. the surren-
der of every ship Of the Austrian naval
army being demanded.
The allied and associated governments
will decide later what disposition shall
be made of the vessels. No hint has yet
been given as to the other conditions OF
tho treaty.
Meanwhile tho German peace delega-
ton at Versailles continues its formid-
able tnsk Of digesting the peace terms
handed t. II Wednesday by Premier
Clemcnceau. According TO reports orig

Paris. tho delegates arc divided in their

Feeling apparently is running high in
Germany over what is termed the sever
ity OF the peace terms. and a review Of
the opinion in Berlin says that the pee
pie arc discussing the consequences OF
a possible refusal to sign the treaty.
Rather anarchy than slavery Is the
remark heard on all sides. the review
