WASHINGTON, May S.-(By Asso-
ciated Press).-The eyes of the world
today were focused on the treaty of
Versailles. Statesmen and diplomats
everywhere were turning over the
phrases of the summary to form their
opinions.
In the United States the questions
being asked are "How does it affect
America? Will the senate ratify it?
Will Germany Accept it?''
There were few authoritativ ex-
pressions from official Washington.
One point seemingly generally accept
ed at first glance was that President
Wilson had successfully carried out
his determination that the league of
nations convenant should be an in
separable part of the treaty and that
the whole document must stand intact
as 1t comes up for ratification or re-
lection.
