nOItIIeO the AltIeS InaL Snc accepts
all the Allied conditions respect
ing the Versailles congress. This
official announcement was made.
Paris, April 22-Germany's reply
to the ultimatum of the council of four
that it will not receive any German
delegation not fully empowered to act
on the peace treaty is anxiously
awaited.
The ultimatum was sent to check
German plans to refer the treaty to
Berlin or Weimar for decision.
Grave doubts are expressed wheth-
or the perfected peace treaty would
be presented to the German represen-
tatives Friday. While the treaty will
be communicated to them in SUBJ
stance, it was said in we'll informed
quarters that it would be physically
impossible to prepare the document
in it's complete final form in the four
days remaining.
If the German government in reply
to the ultimatum, raises controversy
regarding the status of the German
lowed, the arrival of the delegates at
Versailles, may be postponed.
Foe Plan Bluff.
Berlin, April 22-The German peace
delegation is going to Paris confident
ly expecting to wreck the Allied peace
machine. This is plainly evident from
statements in the Berlin press, as
well as the attitude of the foreign
Office.
The Germans plan to employ the
into the war two years ago. The for
eign Office theory is that the Allies
will not call Germany's bluff if the
delegates announce their determine
ton to refuse to sign the terms.
The delegation is expected to leave
for Paris at once. Some reports have
been circulated that the government
may have plebiscite to decide
whether the Allied terms will be ac-
copied.
Same Crowd in Charge.
The new republic has intrusted it's
who have not changed in any way from
those who directed Germany's policies
before the revolution.
1--WE believe the terms received
from Paris are just Entente propagan-
da to prepare the German people for
the hardest possible peace so they will
appreciate the terms actually offered,
which undoubtedly will be much
easier" member of the foreign office
said. cit is clever peace propaganda,
but fortunately, we see through it."

raine, Posen, the German colonies and
other disputable questions.
Bolshevism Threat Prepared.
1t has been reported the Germans
plan to tear up the peace terms and
refuse to sign them, then make coun-
ter-peace proposals according to Ger
man ideas, threatening to turn Ger
many over to the bolsheviki If the AL
lies still sand pat. The foreign Office
is expected to brighten the Allies into
believing Germany will pay no indem
mites if the bolsheviki get control of
the country.
This is purely bluff, because the for
eign Office has absolutely nothing to
do with bolshevism in Germany. Ger
internal troubles will no more
disappear as the result of peace than
they faded when it was announced that
Allied food had arrived.
