(By Associated Press)


PARIS, June 13.-The peace treaty
with Germany will be entirely re-writ-
ten and reprinted, for the incorpora-
ton textually of the explanations and
Qualifications contained in the allied
reply to the German counter propos-
ais. While unchanged in principle yir-
tually the new document will be pre-
sented to the Germans
It is understood that the new treaty
will be made public on the day OF its
delivery or the day after.
First Treaty Obsolete,
The council Of four it develops, de-
cided that simply to attach the reply
to the original document was imprac-
ticable, as important clauses would be
left obscure and imperfect.
Hence the decision to rewrite the
document.
1t was commented In peace con.
ference circles today that this action
renders obsolete the text published
In the United States.
Reparatfons Reopened.
The British have made an eleventh
hour attempt to reopen the question of
reparations. They have submitted
proposals introducing into the func-
! tions OF the permanent reparations

The council Of four today devoted
both of its sessions to the revision o!
the text OF the treaty. When the fore
noon session ended, the council had
sent to the revision commission is
reports. Among those remaining to
be passed are several dealing with i'm
portant subjects.
RADICALS MAY SIGN,
While there seems to be a quite
general belief that the Germans will
accept the treaty terms, news dis
patches from Paris reflect a certain
amount of doubt whether the German
delegates of the present German gov
ernment will sign the convention
French official circles are said to ex
pect the immediate establishment oi
radical socialist administration
which it ssaid may sign the treaty
but even in that event, it has beer
suggested the allies might not accep
the signature of the radicals.
Agreement in principle as to the
most perplexing features of the reply
have been reached, it being reported
that aplebiscite in Silesia will b,
garnted and Germany will be admit
ted to the league of nations. The
conditions under which the Silesia1
vote would be held have not been di
vulged, nor have the details of Ger
many's admission to the league beer
made public.
The treaty stipulates that the Serr,
district will hold plebiscite afte
fifteen years, it being provided tha
the recall must be approved by tn,
league Of nations, and it Is possibl,
that a similar arrangement may b,
made relative to Silesia.
The five great powers have inform
! ed Admiral Kolchak, head of the all
Russian government at Omsk that tn
allies stand by their recent offer I,
furnish supplies to the Kolchak army
