Paris, April 2l by the Associated
Press The council of four of the peace
conference in the interval before the
peace treaty is handed to the German
delegates, viii take up the question of
making the document public. Ray Stan
nard Baker, representing the American
delegation, in agreement with the press
advisers to the delegations of other
countries has recommended to the coun-
ell the publication of the treaty imme-
diately after its delivery to the Ger
mans. Otherwise, it is pointed out, the
first version of the important provisions
OF the treaty would be issued by the Ger
mans and might be loaded up with Ger
man propaganda.
The plan proposed on behalf of the
United States is for the American dele
gates to cable for simultaneous distribu-
ton on the American continents, first, a
2J0-word official summary of the treaty;
second. a 5000 word official summary,
and, third, the text Of the treaty The
two summaries would be given to the
American press at about the same time
and the treaty day or two later, the
text possibly to be distributed by INSTALL
ments as il was received
Tho text Of the covenant Of the league
OF nations has already been telegraphed
TO the state department at Washington
for release when authorized by President
Wilson. Other parts Of the treaty are
likely to be eabled during the present
week The final dispatch which may
count up to nearly 100000 words, can be
cabed in four or five hours if all the
cable lines are cleared for the purpose
The capacity of the cables is 100000
words day, and the associated govern
ments could order the text of the peace
treaty given first official priority SO
that the enormous task Of transmission
could be accomplished with less delay
than a press message ordinarily requires
In the day the peace treaty is signed
the American correspondents will have
their telephones in the Louis XIV bath
room in the Versailles palace. The en-
trance will be by secret door not 70

Boston, April 2l.-The Victory loan

The first New England town officially
reporting "over the top" was Orleans,

be sent elsewhere. Derby, Conn, was in
before noon. Middletown was the first
Connecticut city to oversubscribe its

Whether Captain Frederick p Raynham,

BURLES0N PLEASED
OVER SETTLEMENT

Washington, D. c., April 2l.-
Postmaster General Burleson to-
day issued the following state
ment on the settlement of the
New England telephone strike;
81 am pleased that the strike of
the New England telephone opera
tiyes has been brought to an end
and it is hoped that the detailed
consideration of the wage sched-
ules which has been entered upon
win result in conclusions Just and
fair to all parties.
Il sincerely regret that the bust
ness men and householders of New
England have been subjected to
the annoyance and inconvenience
occasioned by the strike, but | feel
that the principle involved, that
the orderly process established by
governmental authority for the
adjustment of such differences
should not be ignored or the gov
ernment itself coerced in its ac-
tions, justiiies my position. 1t has
never been contended that the
wage rate should not be increased.
AT all times when these controyer-
sizes are brought to my attention
| have endeavored to have prompt
action taken thereon and, of
course, urge that justice and fair
ness be done to all those whose
interests are involved"

Operators Went Back to Work at 1880,
Men Earlier Than That.

Full service in the Barre telephone ex-
change was resumed at 1890 this fore
noon after the operators had been out
since a week ago tomorrow morning.
News of the settlement reached in Bos-
ton Sunday night was received in the
local Office this morning, and in short
time the men, who went out Thursday
morning, resumed their work. The order
for the girls to return to their places at
the switchboard was not received until
later and it was midforenoon before the
usual number of the day force were on
hand.

Manager Gowdey of the local exchange
said that he had expected to receive word
last night from union headquarters in
Boston that the operators and men had

the notification did not come until this

Manager Gowdey said that he had not
received word concerning the details of
the settlement other than contained in
press dispatches. He was not prepared
to say what the schedule of wages of the
operators in the Barre exchange would be
but he presumed the wages would be
graded outside of the Boston metropoli-

Boston, april 81. - The agreement
reached by the committee of striking tel
ephone operators with officials of the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
company and the Providence Telephone
company was ratified at mass meeting
of the strikers to-day, and all union
members were ordered to report for work
at their switchboards at o'clock this
afternoon.
Many of the operators outside the
Boston district were already at work,
having reported as usual this morning,
without awaiting the outcome of the
formal ratification meeting, but in the
city exchanges only few were on duty
during the forenoon, and the service was
generally limited to calls within the
same exchange district.
Electricians and other male employees,
who had been out with the operators,
ratified the agreement insofar as it af-
fected them, at meeting last night, and
most OF them were back at work as
usual this morning.
The agreement, which included provi-
sion for wage increases and the right Of
collective bargaining, had previously been
approved by John G. Rooms, first assist
ant postmaster general and chairman of
the wire control board. He was sent here
from Washington last week to effect a
settlement of the controversy, which had
almost completely paralyzed telephone
communication in the New England
states, except Connecticut, when the OPP
orators left their stations Tuesday morn
ing. Committees representing both oper-
ators and electricians spent Saturday
evening and greater part of the day
yesterday in conferences with William K.
Driver, jr., general manager of the tele-
phone companies, and came to an agree
ment last night.
BY the understanding reached last
night operators in Boston would receive
$40 a week instead of sic after seven
years of service and the minimum wage
would be $40 instead of IS. They de-
manded $22 as a maximum at the end
Of four years. The new scale will be re-
troactiye to Jan, |.
In Manchester, N. H., and Montpelier,
| VT, the service interrupted by the strike
was announced as restored by the return
of both girls and men, Long distance as
| well as local service was reported virtu-
ally normal in Maine. All the operators
and wire workers were on duty at Paw

That the Germans Are Sending Only

Paris, April 2l.--This mornings news

dence of bad faith and transparent
manoeuvre to gain time.

mined not to accept subordinate person
ages and Germany will Immediately be
notified that she must send delegates
equipped with full powers TO conclude
peace. Upon their arrival at Versailles,
the first step will be to demand from

scribes as "the impertinent Of Germany's
