Y
decisions were reached at yesterdays
sessions of the Council of Four, aud all
reserved subjects were put over until
Friday, when it is hoped that final
disposition will be made Of them. The
missing clauses of the Austrian treaty
NAV be delivered to Or. Karl Renner,
| head Of the Austrian mission, on Sat
urday.
The council of foreign ministers was
the only organization of the Peace
Conference TO hold meeting today.
Tho ministers discussed the Polish
| ITkrainian problem, MS well as plans
! for the control of Danag during the
| time between German evacuation and
/ Polish occupation.
The memorandum handed to the Ger
! man Observation-Disclosures Monday was
printed tcxtually here yesterday, but
/ added little to the general knowledge of
changes in the treaty. The memorandum
deals hardly more precisely with altcra =
tiOns and amendments than did the Of
fetal summary, Cablcd Monday to the
| United States.
| 1t is apparent from the memorandum
/ that the cred letter treaty. commnnt-
Gated to the Germans Monday, is the
document Of supreme interest to Ger
many and the world. 1t will be ncCCs-
sary to await publication Oh the
amended treaty to obtain any exact or
even adequate notion of the many
alterations, which are indicated in the
memorandum only in some such form
as Eve, therefore, altered this para
graph of the treaty.
Those familiar with the amended
treaty maintain that the German au-
thoritics can, on the basis Of the
amended instrument, make out 'tcIl-
ing argument for signature, based on
concessions obtained through ncgotia q
tions.
In his letter to the head Of the Ger
man npaCc delegation, apoogizing Tor
the demonstration against tn" Ger
mans at Versailles, NJ. tlcmCnccau OK
I pressed deep regret for this r"prchrn>I-
bic act. which was contrary - the Avs
of the Seine and Disc. ami tn" p0hcC
commissioners have been dismissed
from office.
DIR. Theodore Mclchoir, one of the
five principal delegates, and Frau l'orI-
blush, one of the secretaries to the
German peace delegation, were struck
on the head with stones during tn"
demonstration when the German dri"-
gates departed from Versailles Monday
night.
The demonstration against the mem
bprs of the German delegation. accord r.
ing to the Petit Parisicu, apparently
had its inception in the crowds in =
tprDrctatiOn of some gesture by Ger
man typist or secretary as provo"a
tive net.
The throwing of stones and bricks
occurred as the automobiles Of the
Germans passed through ChcSnpy. Ro-
qucncourt and Bailly, suburban points
on their way to the railway station at
/ Noisy lie Roi. At Versailles the dem
onstration was confined TO hoOtinE ant
ieering. Two French military Chauf-
feurs. struck by bricks, were more
seriously injured than were the Ger
man delegates.
Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau tool
another route to the railway station
and escaped the dcmonstrants.
The investigation by the Petit Pa
risien seemed to show that the de-
monstration was not spontaneous ant
that number of persons from Paris
were involved in it.
Besides the dismissal of the prefcc
of the department of Seine ct -Oisc ant
the police commissioner. both official
are to offer apologies to DR.. Won Hahn

The police officials were held by Pre-
mer Clpmcnceau to have withdraw
certain of their guards to the outskirt
of Versailles, Notwithstanding instruc
tions given them as to the methods o
maintaining order.
