to that which Congress, the Districts
sole state and municipal legislature
has imposed upon the unrepresented

Against Stipulations Imposed Are Made up to
Hour Of Decision.


PARIS, June 23.-The German government at
Weimar has formally communicated its willingness
to sign the peace terms Internationally, it was
nounced by the French foreign Office this afternoon
The day and hour for the formal signing q the
treaty is uncertain The signing possibly may take
place Tuesday, but more likely Wednesday.
The Italian delegates at present in Paris have
been authorized to sign the treaty behalf of Italy
This announcement removed one question which it
was feared might delay the signing.
The German note of acceptance, it is said is
couched in such language that it maintains the Ger
man position that the peace conditions are "a peace
of violence"

National culpability Established.

The question as to what punitive
measures will be taken against Ger
many is being earnestly discussed.
That the plot involves national culp-
ability is now regarded as established
in view Of the practically simultane-
GUS sinking Of the balance of the fleet.
Courses varying in degrees of severity
from the execution of the actual per-
petrators Of the treachery downward
are under discussion as possibilities
Among the more moderate suggestions
are that Germany be required to bear
the expense for the raising and re-
pairing Of the damaged vessels; or
that merchant tonnage be exacted
from her as a useful substitute of the
lighting craft.
That a careful investigation of the
conditions under which the plot was
effected and accomplished will be
made, and that this latest evidence of
German inf1delity will be properly
punished, is generally assumed.

An investigation into the retail

The investigation, it is the hope of

force Of public opinion when the full
facts have been developed. or through
