understood that with this reply the Ger
mans will also receive notification that
the discussion of the terms has been IL

not less than three days nor more than
five In which to accept or reject the treaty
Reports from Paris indicate that imme-
dlately after receiving the allied reply
Count Won Brockdorif- -Rantzau, chief Of
the German delegation, will leave Yer
saIlles for Berlin, where he will hold f.
nal consultation with Chancellor Scheide-
mann. Should Germany decide to sign the
treaty the count will return to Versailles,
but should Germany determine upon a
rejection of the terms notification of that
! fact will be sent to the peace conference
! from Berlin
| Dispatches state that the council OF

] quest that a fixed sum for reparation be
( indicated in the treaty. There seemed
! recently to be a well defined sentiment
(. in the council to accede to this request

Valley Fair Solicitors at
Noon Had Raised Sub
stantial Sum
HARD WORK NEEDED
FOR REST OF DAY
Encouraging Feature Is Interest Taken
in Outside Towns for Maintaining the
Fair-Board of Trade Rooms to Be
Open Tonight.

Returns were slow in coming in this
morning from the drive which is being
conducted for the sale of stock in the
Valley Fair association, Inc, but the few
solicitors who had reported up to noon
brought in subscriptions amounting to
around $1,000, making the total reported
sale of stock at that hour approximately
$4,000. Several thousand dollars in addi-
tion to this amount is known to have been
pledged during the morning, but it is evi-
dent that hard work throughout the af
ternoon and evening viii be necessary if
the total of $4,000 is reached If it is
not, then all plans for a fair this fall
will be abandoned in accordance with
vote of the directors taken Tuesday even
ing
An encouraging feature of the situation
is the interest taken in maintaining the
fair by residents of towns outside of Brat
tleboro. Out of five persons seen in Ches-
terfield, n H., yesterday afternoon four
agreed to buy four shares apiece and the
fifth one share, all saying that they would
dislike very much to see the fair aban-
doned This attitude on the part of resi-
dents of the outlying towns, who come
to Brattleboro to trade, rather puts it
up to local business people to do their
share in keeping the fair going or be pre-
pared to assume the responsibility for
letting it be given up.
The board of trade rooms will be open
| throughout this evening TO receive sub
| seriptions from those who have not been
] seen hy solicitors during day..
