BERLIN, June 9. via London, June
l0.-Germany is prepared TO change
some OF the counter proposals made
in the answer to the original peace
terms OF the entente, according to a
high official in Count Won Bernstorifs
office today.
But this change is said TO be CON
tingent upon the allied reply. The
Germans interpret the original terms
as placing Germany in the category
OF a second class nation.
On the other hand some German Of
iicialS believe that the essential modi-
iicatlons are unacceptable in case the
underlying principles Of the treaty are
unchanged.
