GERMANS CELEBRATE


 Versailles, May 27-The German coun- ter proposals will probably be not sub mitted to the supreme council before Thursday, although they may possibly be ready tomorrow afternoon.
 These counter proposals consist of very bulky documents, comprising in the orig iral typewriter form, so far as could be judged by hasty glance, of about 5( large double sheets, closely typed. The private secretary of Count Won Brock dorff- -Rantzau is leaving here tonight witt copy in manuscript form for the Ger man government. About 20 other subor- dinates are leaving with him, in advance of big party of about 50 which will go to Cologne by special train tomorrow afternoon
 A number of subordinates of the Ger man delegation, realizing that their work was over, indulged in series of cele- brations throughout the night. Long aft CT midnight pious Versailles was disturbed by the strains of the MarseillaiSe shout ed Justify by band of rejoicing Ger mans, who also filled the night air with cries of "Hurrah for France! Hurrah for Germany! Hurrah for peace!"
 Their celebration of the event occa- sicned sharp disciplinary measures by the head of the delegation and acceler- ated the departure of a number of the participants for Berlin.
 The financial commission held this aft ernoon what was probably it's last meet ing. It is understood that the leading financial delegates are about to depart leaving with the official peace commission only limited number of special ad visers and a small clerical staff to con- duct what further negotiations may be necessary.

eY Associated Pres,


 Paris, May N.-(French Wireless Serv- ice.)-A Berlin dispatch received in Paris gives in some detail the counter proposals to the peace treaty of the allied and as- sociated powers which were agreed on at the last conference of the Germans at Spa. The counter proposals will make a volume of respectable dimensions
 Concerning the Sarre region, Germany will ask France to give up her terri init economic control over all the coal output there.
 It is proposed that the German fleet be transferred to an international trust, managed by the Americans and con- trolled by the league of nations. The trust would be given the mercantile fleets of all the other maritime nations and every nation would be represented in the central administration in a manner cor responding to the nations tonnage. Ger 9nany announces her readiness to hand lover 90 per cent of her mercantile fleet.
 Besides in conformity with the propo- sition made by the former director of the Hamburg American line, Germany will pledge herself to build at her own ex- pense in her own dock yards and by her own workmen, the number of ships necessary to compensate for the dimin is ution in the worlds tonnage due to Ger many's submarine warfare
 In return Germany will ask to be al- lowed large credits for the payment of raw materials required to carry out the undertaking and to be allowed to give in payment some of her own raw or manu- factured goods.
 As regards the cable lines Germany will suggest system of internationaliza- ton which would not prevent Germany from participating in the general traffic of nations.
 Concerning territorial questions in the east of Europe the counter proposals simply call the attention of the entente to the state of mind of the German pop ulations in the contested territories of upper Silesia and east and west Prus- sa and Danzig. These populations, it says, would be sure to take up arms in their own defense if they were to be an- nexed to Poland and that this might lead to other wars.
