FORMAL PEACE 60 !

/. TREATY IS SIGNED
Clause DRAFTED Setting Time
for Transition From War, to
Prevent Confusion Among
Score of BeIIigerents.

PARIS, April "a. (By the Associated
Press) "A clause has been drafted for
insertion in the peace treaty fixing
the date for the transition TO a state
OF peace 60 days after the signing Of
the treaty. II the treaty Is signed about
May 15, peace thus will become effec-
tive throughout the world on July 10.
The purpose OF this provision is to
prevent confusion among the more than
20 belligerent nations, which might fix
different dates IN their various ratifi-
cations, According to the present plan.
each nation will ratify the treaty ac-
unite In common date which Will be-
&C me a universal day OF peace,
This follows the precedent established
ut the conclusions Of previous wars,
but It is increasingly necessary In the
present case, owing to the large num-
Der Of nations signing the treaty.
" is being considered whether the
United States, as an associated power,
but not an ally should sign separate
treaty of peace with Germany. 1t
would be the same treaty as that signed
by the allies and would be signed at
the same time as part of the same
ceremony, but the effect OF the sepa-

position Of the United States as an

and would he direct engagement be-
tween tho United States, and Germany,
instead of between the United States
and large number OF other allied
powers
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantsau, In his
last reply, stated that the German plen-
ipotentiaries had been designated with
the idea that pourparlers will occur
simultaneously with the delivery OF the
prellminaries Of peace" This expecta-
| tion to engage In discussions from the
outset is leading to a careful SCRUTINY
of President Wilson's fourteen points,
as limitations have been received the
chief discussion will be whether the
treaty accords with those points, One
expert engaged In this scrutiny says
