pressed their representatives here OF

Of the conclusion of the peace treaty.
The French government is fully
aware of this feeling and expresses its
sympathy with the motives that under
complications and failure to realize
the necessary fruits of victory IL the-r
is undue haste in the conclusion OF
a treaty of peace. France is insisting
upon compliance with armistice de.

countries believe it should not be per

Hold Delay Unnecessary.
Answering French objections, that
long time may be consumed in ar
ranging the boundaries of new states
carved out of enemy countries, advo-
Gates of immediate peace declare that
such readjustments as are necessary

The same powers hold there should
be no delay because of indemnities.
1t is impossible to ascertain the exact
detail of the damage inflicted during
the war and they argue that lump
sums should be agreed upon and plac-
ed in the peace treaty on the basis of
the fairly comprehensive examinations
already made by agents of the entente
powers. Figures in possession of ex-
perts are believed to give a close ap-
Proclamation of the total sum Germany
is able to pay. 1t is believed the arm
istice just concluded is not broad
enough to be developed safely into a
definite treaty of peace.
No feasible plan for settling the
Russian question has developed dur
ing the two days of hearings given
the subject by the supreme war coun-
ell. The effort will be resumed today
but the weight of opinion in the coun-
Gil seems opposed to any plan involv-
ing the use of force or an extension
