NEW GERMAN NOTE
I COMING ON ALSACE
Rantzau Preparing to Address
Allied Powers About Re-
Z claimed Provinces.
SECRET TREATY CLAUSE
When Three Powers Sign 1t
These Nations Only Can
Resume Trading.

PARIS, May LIT became known to-
day that the German peace delegation
was preparing to send another note to
the allied and associated Powers con-
cerning the peace treaty. The note. which
has not yet been completed. Is said to be
In relation to Alsace and Lorraine.
The German peace treaty. It developed
to-day. contains clause which has not
yet been made public providing that rati-
ncation by Germany and three OF the
principal associated Powers will bring
the treaty into force between the ratify-
ing parties. enabling the immediate re-
sumption OF trade.
As the result Of conferences among the
representatives of the Powers. which,
were being continued to-day. the text OF
the German treaty probably will be made
public by instalments.
1t was pointed out to-day in connec.
tlon with the stipulation as to the rati-
hcation of the German treaty that any
nation which withheld ratification after
three Of the principal Powers had ratified
would be at q disadvantage In a COM
mercial way This would follow from
the fact that the ratifying Powers would
be able to resume trade relations with
Germany at once, while the States that
delayed would have no such privilege.
A peremptory answer to the German
note registering objections to the treatS
arrangements for the left bank of the
Rhine and the Saar Valley has beer
drafted by the special commission or
territorial affairs presided over by Andre
Tardieu.
Among those who arrived to-day al
Versailles from Berlin to Join the Ger
man peace delegation was Prof. Weber
a financial expert. During the war Prof
Weber gained notoriety by calling tho
attention OF Chancellor Won Bethmann
Hollweg to the fact that the figures sub
United by Admiral Won Tirpitz on thu
sinking Of merchantmen by German sub
marines were false.

Condemnation Of demonstrations be-
fore the Reichstag and In Inter den
Linden Tuesday against the Allies the
United States and President Wilson Is
voiced by several newspapers, especially
the Togeblatt.
Theodor Wolff in the IdOcbldtt
ascribes the outbreak to the "alley

youths and denounces their conduct as
childish and unseemly." He says that
no sensible and decent person can desire
that the great seriousness Of the present
