PEACE TREATY
WILL SOON Be
BEFORE ENEMY
Preliminary Document May
be Ready for Presentation
to Germany March 20.
CONSCRIPTION IN FOR
DEATH BLOW, BELIEF
Military System Slashed, Al
lies Can Cope With
Refusal.
BY FRED FERGUSON

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS. March 11.--With the milf
tary terms adopted and rapid progress
being made toward the completion OF
other provisions, 1t is learned today
that the preliminary peace treaty may
be ready to present to Germany Dy
March 20. From the greatest war
maker in the world Germany will be
reduced to a military status lower
than that of her smallest neighboss
She will be impotent even before
Switzerland. The conscriptiCn sys-
tenn WIN be knocked out By a IL year
enlistment requirement for her army
which It is understood, will be re-
duced to 100000 men. The danger
of Germany's having from four to five
million trained men within the next
10 years, which would have been pos
siple under CONSUMPTION. will be abol-
ished All guns, munitions and equip
inent in excess of the amount neces-
sary for her reduced army, must be
surrendered. 1t is also understood
her. notorious general staff will be
abolished.
If any attempt is made to carry
out her threat to refuse acceptance
of the peace treaty, throwing the
country into chaos IL the terms are
tor harsh, Germany will find the al-l
lies presenting a firm front. The
choice in such a case would probably
rest between occupation of Germany
or the conditions of the blockade. let-
ting the enemy starve until she Is
ready to sign Considering the COM
parative contentment in the present
fccp MED porffous of Germany the
latter course is considered the likeliest
move of the supreme war council.
In abolishing conscrfptfon IN Ger
many. the move is accepted as prob
ably meaning the death blow to thas
system throughout the world. 1t Is
believed such development will per-
NIT the rapid scaling down of armies
