that the signing of this peace treaty
may mean little more than the signing
by the Bolsheviki at Brest-Litovsk did
The defiant tone of the German note,
which grudingly agreed to sign the
treaty without reservations. created an
unfavorable impression on members of
the various delegations, according to
statements made to-day. and this SEEM

OF the Germans in arranging for the
carrying out of their promises.
The peace treaty contains no provision
as to when they must ratify, conse-

the delegates that enforcement of the

until there is ratification by the
