Paris, May THE plenary peace
conference has completed its work so
far as Germany is concerned and at a
secret plenary session communicated
the terms of the peace treaty to all the
powers represented at the conference
When the reading of the summary was
concluded, reservations were made in
behalf of Portugal, China, Italy and
France. Reservations presented raise
the question whether they will be
maintained in signing the treaty by the
nations making them and whether the
conference will permit signatures with
reservations. While this contingency
is being discussed the reservations are
not expected to interfere with the pro-
cedure of presenting the treaty TO the
Germans. A dispatch says the most
interesting feature of the plenary ses-
