New Treaty Will Be Given
To Germans Monday
Or Tuesday
SHORT Time TO ANSWER

more than five days to reach de-
cision.
While reports from Germany on
the prospect of Germany's signing the
treaty are lacking in clarity, 1t Is
known that the council is acting upon
the belief that there is no general
feeling on the part of the masses
against German acceptance of the
terms. An air of optimism prevades
the council in this respect.
The Allied reply to the German
proposals. II developed today. will lay
particular stress upon the character
oG the permanent reparations COM
mission 1t will be explained to the
Germans that this commission is not
tyrannical body but that IL will adj
minister its duty in spirit of fair
ness and helpfulness. so as to facili-
tate Germany's reconstruction.
Some notifications were made by
the Council yesterday in the labor
covenant in the peace treaty.
The existing labor situation In var
ious countries coupled with clever
German tactics, have resulted in this
part of the treaty becoming one Of
the principal points of attack in the
counter proposals.
1t is the present plan of the coun-
Gil to renew consideration of the Aus
trian terms on Monday. Representa-
tlVeS OF turkey Will pe IeCeiNeu oh
Tuesday.
II no other development arises
President Wilson will probably make
his trip to Brussels between Wednes-
day and the expiration of the German
time limit
The drafting committee has COM
pleted the work of framing the letter
covering the reply to the German
counter proposals. 1t recalls that the
principles upon which the treaty Is
based are such as to preclude the al
lies from making fundamental conces-
sions.
The indisposition of the Council Of
Four to submit the revised German
treaty to a plenary session of the con-
ference before sending 1t to the Ger
mans is causing another protest from
the small powers who are dissatisfied
with assurances that the changes
made in the treaty are slight. Many
delegates are insisting upon an oppor-
tunity to fully consider the treaty be-
fore it Is presented to the enemy COM
mission.
| There Is a division of opinion in
| peace conference circles as to the de.
! gree of recognition accorded the al
! Russian government at Cmsk by tht
| note sent to Admiral Kolchak by the
| Council of Five. Some delegates fn-
sist that if the action of the council
were really a recognition of the Kol-
chak government 1t should be given
representation in the conference. They
| hold that even partial recognition
would entitle the Omsk government
to send delegates to Paris. Others
maintain the conference cannot give
recognition to any government. as in
