Berlin, Saturday, June IA can
yass Of official quarters this evening
adduced the positive, statement that
unless h revised proposals of the en-
tente nations contain most radical mod
i1cations Germany would not sign the
peace treaty.
The government. however, so far as
it still is represented in Berlin, Is not
indulging in h luxury OF undue illus
trations as to what the next 48 hours
will bring forth.
Alleged notifications in the draft of
the treaty, as reported to Berlin, are
rejected as wholly insufficient to war
i ant the prediction hat the govern
ment will be inclined to subject them
to closer scrutiny.
Emphasis was also placed o. the
statement that the cabinet was abso-
lutely united in it's attitude. :.
