PARIS, June 22.-Whle the news
from Weimar to-day is uncertain, there
IS no uncertainty about the fact that
Marshal Foch has departed for his
headquarters, where he assumed com
mand of 100000 men. 1t is also true
tnat the Allied fleets have taken posi-
tlons with view to reestablshinr the
German blockade, if that step should
be necessary.
American, British and French dele
gatlons reiterate that no further delay
IN acceptance of the treaty is possible
the question being entirely up to the
Germans to act before S:49 D. m. to-
morrow Though many peace dele
gates are said to favor giving the Ger
mans a few days longer to organize
their government, there is little likeli-
nood that this will be granted, and re-
lusal VIII set the Allied armies in mo-
tlon Monday evening.
Inc American staff at the Hotel
Crlllon are. doubly interested in the
signature, because it will mean the
return home OF many, although all plans
and preparation have been delaved
until Weimar has decided.
arrangements for President Wilson'S
departure have been perfected so az to
enable him to quit Paris for America

New-York tribune., 1919-06-23

Of affairs in Germany. The Indepen-
dents feel themselves wholly Independ-
sible for the outcome of the peace
negotiations, being at present unwill-
ing to undertake to organize a new
government owing to lack of support
in the National Assembly, They are
more than content to observe the other
parties struggling with impending diff
culties while the process of radicaliza-
tlon makes steady headway among the
laboring masses.
The Independents are carrying on
an energetic agitation throughout the
country and are making rapid inroads
on the strongholds of the Majority
Socialists. "Die Freiheit" prints news
If Majority Socialist clubs going over
en- masse to the Independents. The
huge gains of the Independents and the
losses of the Majority faction in the
Bavarian municipal elections several
days ago are regarded as an ominous
sign of coming political events.
A highly pessimistic tone prevails
here regarding the future in general,
whether peace is signed or rejected.
The most intelligent authorities as
sert that Germany is not able to meet
the financial and political terms. They
say the government itself Will be un-
able to prevent an outbreak of civil
war in Eastern Germany if an attempt
is made to transfer territory to the
Poles. They also declare that the
peace conditions will aggravate the So
cial ferment throughout Germany, and
they predict an early resumption of
turbulent outbreaks against the gov
ernment.

Signing of Treaty
Tuesday Possible

PARIS, June % (By The Associated
Press) e p. m.).-After receiving a
vote of confidence the new German
Cabinet will ask that the Allies waive
their demands for the surrender of the
former Emperor and for Germany to
acknowledge responsibility for the war
peace treaty will be signed, according
to advices from Weimar to the Ameri-
can peace delegation.
Advlces were received by the Ameri-
can delegation to the peace conference
at o'clock this afternoon that the
German National Assembly met in Wei
mar at noon and that the new Cabinet
would demand vote Of confidence.
The advices said that afterward note
would be forwarded to Versailles ask
ing the Allied and associated powers to
change the peace treaty, first by waiv-
ing their demands for the surrender of
the former Emperor and, second. for
Germany's acknowledgement in writing
of her responsibility for the war.
1t was added that no matter what
the Allied reply was the treaty would
be signed
A dispatch reaching the American
peace delegation late yesterday after
noon from Weimar said decision had
been reached by the Germans to ask
for further delay from the Allies, but
that later the Social Democrats and
Centrlsts found they had a sufficient
majority in the Assembly and so de-
cided not to sign request for delay
In high quarters in the peace CON
ference the belief was expressed
that the signing of the treaty would
ttke place Wednesday. There seemed
to be no inclination to grant the Ger
mans any delay, although it was
recognized that if there was no German
government to deal with some delay
would be inevitable
Action of Troops Uncertain
With regard to whether the Allied
troops Will move forward if an af-
hrmatiye answer is not received from
the Germans at o'clock Monday after
neon, some of those in authority favor
sending the troops forward imme ediate-
~ while others prefer delay of two
or three days for the actual ma
nOuvre.
The view Of the members of the
council of five after the meeting to-
day was that everything looked favor
abie to the signing of the treaty, and
ehat ~ was even possible this function
might take place Tuesday.
The council yesterday reached a con-
eiusion with regard to the protection
o. minorities in Poland. The repara-
tion terms Of the Austrian treaty were
not completed and will be taken up
again Monday.

Stage Is All Set
For Foe to Sign

VERSAILLES, June % (By The AS
sociated Press ).-Arrangements al
ready have begun to take shape at YER
sallles for signing the peace treaty.
Orders have been given to have every
thlng IN readiness Tuesday, although
the ceremony, according to the Havas
Agency, is not likely to occur before
Thursday at the earliest.
Other dispatches say the ceremony
may take place Wednesday, or even as
early as Tuesday.
The famous Gallery of Mirrors has
received it's final furnishings. The
carpets have been laid and the orna-
mental table with It's eighteenth CEN
tury gilt and bronze decorations has
been placed in position on the dais
where the plenipotentiaries will be
seated.
Room for 400 Guests
There will be room for 400 invited
persons at the historic session. They
will be given places in the left wing
OF the Hall Of Mirrors, while the right
wing will be occupied by about the
same number of press representatives.
Sixty seats have been allotted to the
French press.
The programme of arrangem onts, as
tar as it has been settled, was SUBJ
mitted to Premier Clemenceau today.
The court of honor has been cleared
infantry and five Of cavalry will be on
duty. Republican guards in gala uni
form will render the honors. They
will be stationed on the grand stair
case by which the plenipotentiaries s
enter the hall.
According to the Havas Agency,
diplomatic relations with Germany will
not be resumed Immediately on signing
the treaty, but only after it's ratifica-
OF German subjects into France
Fronting M. Clemenceau's presiden-
tial chair will be placed small table
on which the diplomatic instruments
will be laid. 1t will be to this table
that each representative is called in
alphabetical order to sign his name to
the treaty and affix to it his govern
ment seal. AS there are 100 delegates,
the ceremony is expected to take at
least ninety minutes.
1t is as yet uncertain whether M.
Clemenceau will make a speech. 1t is
considered as not unlikely that the
Germans will raise a last protest at
the moment of signing.
The final preparations for the sign
ing of the treaty will be discussed at
a meeting at the prefecture here to-
morrow. French officials are assum-
ing that acceptance of the Allied
terms by Germany is certain.
Prefect of Police Raux, of Paris,
has been assigned to take charge of
the maintenance of order in Versailles.
He will have large force of gen
darmes at his disposal, in addition to
the troops, in order to control the
crowds which undoubtedly will come
to Versailles on the day the treaty is
signed.
Only French representatives will be
intrusted with the arrangements for
the function, the Allied and associated
delegates being regarded as the guests
of France.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-23

lures. This feeling was much &C.
centuated by the fall of the Scheide-
mann Cabinet. -
Many officials predicted privately at
the outset of the negotiations with the
German delegates that the ministry
headed by Philip Scheidemann would
give way to another Cabinet before
the actual signing took place The
large majority recorded in the Weimar
Assembly in favor of signing the
treaty was considered by officials here
as an accurate reflection of the domi-
nant desire of the German people for
peace at the earliest moment.
Senator Norris, commenting on the
efforts of the Germans to amend the
treaty so they would not be compelled
to surrender the eX-Kaiser and ac-
knowledge blame for the war, said to-
night:
~ would not accept the treaty if it
does not call for the trial of the Kai-
ser. He should be tried, and, as the
evidence shows, imprisoned, like Napo-
leon, or hanged. l don't care particu-
larly about officially blaming Germany
for the war. Saying that in the treaty
will not make it so. The fact of her
guilt is beyond the treaty and that is
sufficient. The Scapa Flow sinking was
cute trick, but it does not look
good"
The White House tonight had re-
ceived no communication from Presi-
dent Wilson subsequent to the receiv-
ing in Paris of news of the German As
sembly's action. Consequently there
was no definite information obtainable
as to when the President would leave
France. 1t was thought possible that
should the actual signing of the treaty
take place Thursday the President
might leave Paris Immediately, SO as to
arrive in the United States by July 4.
The President, it is known, has made
all arrangements, so such negotiations
with the Germans after the signing of
the treaty as are necessary and the
formulation of uncompleted portions
of the Austrian treaty may be placed
in the hands of other members of the
American delegation.
