To Compel Foe to Carry

WASHINGTON, May S-The eyes
Of the world today are focused on
the treaty of Versailles.
Statesmen and diplomats every
where are turning over the phrases
Of the official published summary OF
its terms to form their opinions.
In the United States the questions
being asked are:
How does it affect American Will

accept i,' Official Washington, with
the president and the secretary of
state in Paris, congress in adjourn
ment and many leaders on both sides
absent, was rather devoid OF authori-
tative expression on the first two
questions. For the third, the general
~ accepted opinion seemed TO be that
the Germans would accept the con-
.ention. but that it might require
economic pressure TO bring about the
fulfillment OF some OF its terms.
The few congressional leaders who
were In the capital were carefully
studying the published summary pre-
pairing to issue their comments in the
form OF statements. Some OF these
were expected during the day.
One point seemingly generally ac-
cepted at first glance was that Presi-
dent Wilson has successfully carried
out his determination that the league
OF nations covenant should be an in
separable part Of the peace treaty and
that the whole document must stand

mary, was that the rejection Of the
