Count won Bernstorff, for example. is quoted as admitting that Germany can sign if admitted to the league of nations, given representation on the reparations committee and granted a plebiscite in the disputed regions of the eastern frontier.
 It is thought in conference circles here concessions on the first two points are sufficient to permit the present government to swallow these sections of the treaty. though with a wry face, and that the grant of pelbiscite in Silesia. but not in West Prussia or Danzig, may ultimately be accepted on the principle of half . loaf is better than no bread. Matthias Erzberger, head of the German armis- tice commission, has added to Von Bernstorff'ss three points two others. bearing on the surrender of the former German emperor and Germany's ac- knowledgement of her guilt for tre war.
