 Want Definite Facts
 lit is the duty of the German dele- gation to render an exact account to it's government and to the national assembly: therefore, it must know absolutely how far the enemy intends to give contract force to these con- sessions. It begs your excellency to confirm by writing the fact that the contents of the accompanying letter and the memorandum treating the above mentioned points constitute an
  sitions of the allies and associated governments. A doubt also has arisen concerning a second point, when the documents submitted were examined.
 "The printed copy Of the peace sub- ject submitted to us is different, not alone in the matter of manuscript corrections and additions from the printed copy that the chairman of the German delegation received on May 7th.
 Naturally, the German delegation cannot consider as definite the changes in the text which are not made by hand, or which, on the other hand, has not the evident character of ad- ditions, unless the allied and asso- ciated governments confirm the fact that these divergencies are due to a falsely printed copy, not that they are the results of deliberate intentions.

 Clemenceau Replies
 In his reply M. Clemenceau says: T have the honor of acknowledging receipt of your letter of June 20. In reply to this communication the allied 1 and associated powers hasten to in form you that the 200 copies of the ! peace conditions sent to the German l delegation on June 19, are to be con- | sidered as the authentic text, contain | ing all the corrections and modified tions made in the printed text sent ! May '. 1919, notably such changes and notifications as are the result of the various German observations M Clemenceau, in a second note to l the German delegation, says: ! Tn your letter of June 20, you called the attention of the allied and associated governments to certain l points upon which, according to the German delegation, there is a diver gence between the text of the treaty and the memorandum sent to you on June IS, 1919 in reply to the German [ observations
 T have the honor to inform you that the views of the allied and associated 1 governments on these different points are as follows:
 "CD The statements made on page : of the memorandum on the one hand and on pages 42 and 43 of the memor- ! andum on the other, far from being 1 contradictory, are complementary.
 "The covenant of the league of na . tions states that the members of the 1 league will make the necessary pro- visions to insure and guarantee the ! maintainance of the freedom of com munication and transit, as we'll as just treatment of the commerce of all the members of the league. When Germany is admitted into the league she will share the advantages of these stipulations with the other countries
 No Divergence, he Says
 "(2) The memorandum states on page II that concerning the local debt of Alsace-Lorraine and the public es- tablishment of Alsace-Lorraine, the allied and associated powers have al ways agreed in understanding that France assumed them. Now, article 5, combined with article 255 of the treaty, is relative to the public debts of the German empire and states and there is no clause exempting France from the payment Of the local debt ot Alsace-Lorraine. There is, therefore no divergence between the memoran- dunn and the treaty.
