German Reply
In Five Sections

BERLIN, Wednesday, May 21.-
The German reply to the allied peace
terms will be in five sections dealing
with political and territorial issues,
the league of nations, and financial
and economic questions.
The notes already transmitted to
the allied and associated powers, the
Germans believe, will afford basis
for negotiations on come of these
questions and also may serve as sug-
gesting a way over obstacles in the
way of negotiations on the peace
treaty.
The preamble to the reply will de-
clare that the terms are unaccept-
able on their face in that they are a
violation of President Wilson'S peace
program which, Germany will claim,
primarily accords her equality as one
of the negotiating paA'ties.
The German counter-proposals will
be of definite character, and some
of them will be so framed as to in
vite or suggest a revision Of the pres
ent terms, many will definitely take
the position that the solution of these
problems be based upon President
Wilson's plan for a decision of ma
tionality by a majority of the inhab-
itants as made known through the
medium of plebiscite.
