officially affixed her signatures
to the historic document. Ger.
man delegates were the first to
sign. They were followed by the
American delegation, headed BY
President Wilson; then by the
plenipotentiaries of Great Brit

The representatives of the minor
powers signed in alphabetical
order.
China's delegates did not at
tend this session, declaring to
sign the treaty because they were
not permitted to make reserva-

those who signed the treaty.

Washington, June Signing
at Versailles of the peace treaty
with Germany formally brings
to a close the worlds greatest
war.
Although technical termina-
ton of the war will come to each
nation only when the treaty is
approved by the ratifying power
of that nation, to all intents and
principles, the conflict which be-
gan in August 1914 ended when
the accredited peace commission
ers of the allied and associated
powers and OF Germany fixed
their signatures to the treaty.
Likewise it also brought to an
end. the armistice granted Ger
many last November II, and al
so the period of uncertainty and
doubt as to the final outcome Of
the peace negotiations.
With the signing of the treaty
the work of the peace conference
proper, insofar as concerns nego-
tlations with Germany is now
brought to a conclusion after
more than five months of confer
ence. Portions of the treaty
with Austria vet remain to be
completed and negotiations with
Turkey and Bulgaria still must
be conducted but as to Germany,
chief of the enemy powers, only
the carrying out through the
long series OF years of the provis-
ION of the treaty will remain.

BY United Press:
RIO JANEIRO, May 16.-Ameri-
can business men here today were
discussing the recent mysterious an
ti-American propaganda which ap-
peared in several Brazilian newspa-
pers.
It was pointed out that while
sporadic anti-American articles ap-
pearing in various papers might not
indicate more than individual griev-
ances. the fact that all the attacks
were reprinted in the by request"
columns of the Jornaldo CommerciO
indicated an established propangan-
da campaign seeking to antagonize
Brazilian public opinion against
American interests These columns
are always devoted to propaganda
articles costing certain stipulated
rates per line. 1t was further point
ed out that recent publication of
anti-American articles totalled an
expense far beyond the reach OF in
dividuals. The opinion was reached
that the campaign is Systematically
fostered by interests larger than in
dividual prejudices.

point out that the United States en-
tered the war declaring she wanted

BY United Press:
PARIS. May 16.-Grave dangers
are lurking beneath the surface Of
the peace settlement in the opinion
of persons in close touch with the
general sItuation. This rests in the
fact that everybody is too ready 10
tight. Against the theory that the
European nations are too exhausted
10 fight further, il is pointed out
that history shows all countries in
past have been more warlike at the
end of long struggle than after an
era OF peace. After the Civil war.
for instance, the United States de-
fed both France and Great Britain.
Criticism Everywhere.
From Belgium-in fact from
everywhere have come criticisms Of
the peace treaty. And one OF the
knottiest problems OF all disposition
of Fiume-is yet to be settled. The
Italians are playing an entirely new
game. Instead OF pushing their
claims they apparently are cOoperat-
ing TO the utmost in other work.
They have not shown any incllna-
tion TO abandon their claims. but
they are not pushing the subject.
