and promising to produce many more,
the German delegates to the peace con-
ference succeeded last week in gaining
an extension of time to May 20 for
making their full reply to the treaty

Among the notes., he said, that are

1t may be that final ratification of
the treaty will be delayed by the ac-
ton of the United States senate, which
has begun debate on the league of
nations covenant. Some Republican
leaders wish to notify the peace con-
ference formally that the covenant
must be amended and should be sepa-
rated from the peace treaty of which
it is now an integral part. 1t is certain
too, that the peace terms will be scru-
tinized at length by the senate. Sen
ator Hitchcock and other supporters
of the government are convinced that
both the treaty and the league cove
nant will be ratified by the senate.

What the Germans really will DO
about the treaty is still the subject or
much speculation. Opinion in Paris
that they ultimately will sign is I'M
changed, and is supported by advices
from Berlin to the effect that power
full party is growing there in favor OF
submitting to the allies and gaining
peace that will permit the resumption
of business. In this the Independent
Socialists are joined by bankers, mer-
chants and many others, who say that
anything would be preferable to boil
shevism. In Washington it is believed
that the Ebert government may retire
temporarily in order to let dummy
government approve the treaty. The
dummies thereupon would be ousted by
public opinion and the Ebert crowd
could return. but the treaty would have
been signed.

limit" However, the Germans choose
to remember rather his former stand,
and on that and the Fourteen Points,
they base most of their objections to
the treaty terms. Those points are
especially emphasized in the statement
issued last week by the Scheidemann
cabinet which says Germany cannot
possibly accept the treaty as formu-
lated.

President Wilson's message cabled
from Paris and read to congress as
sembled in extraordinary session,
made various recommendations for do
nestle legislation, most of which had
been anticipated by the caucus pro-

both houses. These include the ques-
ton of labor, the revision of taxes, the
stimulating of foreign trade, the return
of telegraph and telephone lines to
their owners, the settlement of the
railroad question and the adoption Of
woman suffrage. Mr. Wilson added
the advice that the wartime prohibit
ton law, which goes into effect July
l. be amended or repealed in so far
as Ii applies to beers and wines. For
day or so the "wets" were jubilant over
this part of the message, but the "drys"

An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has just developed.
A number Of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned.
declaring the treaty is unacceptable to
them in many respects. They were
taken over to gather historical, racial
and other data, and they assert that
the mass of information they handed
in has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than init
mate that the framing Of the peace
treaty degenerated quickly into proc
ess of bargaining and that Mr.. Wilson
was compelled to surrender his ideals,
one after another. in order to put
across his main idea of league of
nations. According to these malcon-
tents. the settlement of the Saar basin,
Danzig. Shantung and other problems
was all wrong. and they evidently have
no confidence that the italian muddle
will be cleared up properly and justly.
