DELAY GRANTED TO.
GERMANS TO REPLY.
TO TERMS APPROVED.
ACTION TAKEN FOR PURPOSE OF
QUIETING AGITATORS IN
TEUTON CAPITAL.

Paris, May 22.-The seven days grant
ed the Germans before the time limit
for the submission Of the replies TO the
allied peace terms expires will not be
devoted exclusively to the drafting of
notes at Versailles, but will be employed
at Berlin for the purpose of quoting
agitators there, according 10 newspapers
here.
1t is pointed out that there is an in
fluential party in Germany, made up
of Independent and majority socialists
which favors the signing of the treaty
Bankers, manufacturers and business
men generally, rs well as the authori'
ties, are said to share this view, belieV'
ing that anything is preferable to Dol
shevism which might ensue if Germany
refused to agree to the terms of peace.
Philip Scheidemann, the German
chancellor, and Gustave Noske, minister
of defense, it is said, have compromised
their position by exaggerated state
ments and have placed themselves in
Il difficult situation.
Newspapers declared the extension
granted yesterday, will be the last con
cession as to time made TO the enemy.
If this is true, it is said the treaty may
be signed between June IL and June 10.
