Berlin, May 21.-Allied proposals in
the German plans submitted in re-
gard to the peace terms, to be given
before May 29, will determine if the
pact is to be signed or not according
to the prevalent opinion. If the al
lies sign the terms as modified by
the Germans it seems probable that
they will be accepted.
If, however, the terms are left as
they now stand it seems likely that
the Germans will decline to sign on
the grounds that it spells economic
and political destruction for the
Teutons.

FRED S. FERGUSON.

Paris, May 21.-The time limit for
the submission OF observations on the
peace terms by the Germans will ex-
pire tomorrow afternoon at three
o'clock. At that time the allies will
have carefully gone over all the prop
ositions submitted and will then an
nounce the exact time in which Ger
many must accept the terms.
There is no indication that there
will be any change in the peace terms
from the first drafted. 1t is thought
that the Germans, despite the many
counter proposals, will be required to
be ready to sign the terms about as
soon as the Austrians.
Austrian delegates are preparing for
the acceptance of their terms, ac-
cording to reports. From the make
up of the delegation it was not anti
cipated that there would be any quib-
bling. In the normal course Of events
it may be expected that President
Wilson will leave France for home
