PARIS, May 30.-The Peace
treaty will be changed and changed
materially. These are the ipdico-
tions tonight, with the German
counter proposals coming in install
ments. The official summary from
Berlin is being studied closely in all
allied quarters.
1t Is now apparent that German
diplomacy is playing on the reaction
that has become apparent in labor
and Socialist circles, and while they
have made no headway in this direc-
tion they are keeping up their efforts.
President Wilson undoubtedly ia
vors revision Of some Of the clauses,
and Premier Lloyd George also has
weakened under the assaults Of the
Laborites and Liberals, while the
Italians always have regarded the
treaty as too stiff. Premier Glenn
enceau is trying to stand pat, but he
has the French Socialists clamoring
for revision.
1t Is now regarded as certain that
consideration of the German pro-
posals will require much time and
that difference of opinion will de-
velop. This will make it impossible
for the President to leave for home
before the fifteenth or twentieth of
June at the earliest. The delay. as
many see It, will he due to the fact
that the Big Four, in writing the
treaty, defied both economic and po-
litical principles.
The German demand for immediate
admission TO the League of Nations
finds favorable response in British
and American circles, but the French
are adamant against it. 1t is ad-
mltted in diplomatic circles that
many of the economic and political
clauses were changed even before the
German proposals were presented.
The conference is entering a pc
riod of great excitement and it is
impossible TO predict what will hap
pen next week.

Much sympathy was alienated from

The plan varies at important points
from that which was recently outlined
In THE SUN in an interview with
senator Cummins Gowa). chairman Of
the committee. 1t is conceded even
by its advocates that the Cummins
plan has serious practical weaknesses.
the first and most obvious Of which iu
that 1t requires guarantee to the
railroads from the public treasury. The
new proposal. which has important and
influential support, is presented as in
suring the full measure of govern
mental control without recurring an
absolute extension Of Government
credit to the transportation system.
BY Senator Cummins's proposal the
railroads would be capitalized on the
basis of their value as determined by
agreement or by a process of valuation.
He would then distribute them into n
number of systems and would guarantee
some specific rate OF return on that pact
Of the capitalization represented by the
present bond issues; say for illustration
per cent.
ON the proportion OF the valuation
represented by the stocks the same mini
mum return would be guaranteed by the
Government, but a maximum would be
fixed also at perhaps s per cent, which
the roads might earn if their manage
ment were so efficient as TO make the
larger earnings possible. This margin
between say a guaranteed per cent
and a possible s per, cent. on the stock,
would be prize hung up for the rail-
road managements TO earn; the incen-
tive to good enterprising sound manage
ment and satisfactory service.

were embarrassed by criticism and at

with old age. As the child Of poor.
shiftless parents, he had little instrue'
tion and few associates. but his dra-
matte instinct was developed BY Fon-
taine and the Arabian Nights, and the
visit Of a theatrical company TO his
native city led him to seek his dra'
matte fortune In Copenhagen. where
for four years he worked diligently
but produced nothing Of note. In 1885
he essayed the FAIRY Tales" by which
he was to receive world wide recogni-
ton. The classic 'Tinderbox" and big
