the only general estimate on whici. the French are willing to act would bring the total to 25D,ooo, 100000 fracs which the experts quite generally agreed was beyond Germanys power to pay.
 h addition to learning at once the definite instructions on which the per manent commission will act, the Ger mans will also be assured that cer- tain amount of working capital will bs left them, including, probably, tom mage for overseas trade, without which they profess inability to make 1he required reparations.
 It is understood that the question of plebiscite in upper Silesia practically has been decided affirmatively
 No change with regard to responsi- bilit;es, punishment of the former enl- peror or the disposition of the German colonies is regarded as probable. The changes in separations probably will delay presentation of the reparatloI clauses in the Austrian treaty. which will be made to conform to the Ger man provisions under the principle of joint and several responsibility and administration by the same permanent cunlmi ission.

GERMANS GROW HOPEFUL
By Associated Pres.

Berlin, Thursday, June 5.-While the German correspondents at Versailles continue to take a gloomy view Of the forthcoming answer to the German counter proposals, official circles in Rerlin. judged wholly by surface indi- cations, appear more hopeful regard ing tt.e future trend of events.
 The slight tone of optimism which has projected itself into the Berlin estimates of the situation are born O. the conviction that basis for verbal negotiations is gradually being ere ated. position for which Count Ven Brockdorff- -Rantzau and his colleagues in the peace commission have been maneuvering diligently since the first notes were exchanged.
 Suspicion prevails in some quarters in tac WilhelmstIasse that the entente probably will avail itself of neutral intervention by way of breaking the ice.
 Political observers here believe that Count Won Brockdorff-R -Rantzau ct present holds a slight strategic ad- vantage for reasons outside those tha. might be contained in his counter pro- Pcsals.
 The trace of optimism which has been asserting itself in the past IS
 hours is explained by events which
 it is believed here will ultimately | work out to Count Won Brockdorff- | Rantzau'l advantage. These factors
 are tc be found in the Paris strike C. | fresh Polish aggrandizement, French
 machinat!ons in Rhenis hPrussia d 1c | the reported American and British op- ', position tr the entente terms. all ol | which. it is believed in Berlin, are conspiring to bring the entente's al i legged adar,antine front into immedi- | ate jeopardy.
 German optimism is by no mean; 1 overreach;ng itself. It is based rathe, l on the expectation that in view of tks liberal.ty and boldness of the German counter draft the entente leaders wi.
 not date to assume the moral respon | sihiiity of slamming the door in thu face of Count Won Brockdorff-Rant 1 zau and his fellow envoys.

WANT REAL PROBE

You can beat my resolution if you want to. You can put in that vague sub- stitute. But the people of the country won't be satisfied with that kind of in- vestigation.'
 Senator Lodge denied that he desired to evade investigation and assured Sena- tor Hitchcock that he would get all the investigation he desires" Senator Borah said he thought either resolution would be broad enough to give the committee access to the whole neld' of investi- gation
 There was much speculation tonight as to the turn the inquiry may take. Senator Lodge told the Senate yesterday that he could not reveal the source of his information about the treaty copies and Senator Borah is understood to take the same view.
 In some quarters it was suggested that subpoenas might be issued to represen- tatives of any financial interests sus- pected of having private channels for securing such information Another opinion was that the inquiry would be- gin at the other end and would seek to
 locate first any possible leak among government officials or attaches. In this connection much comment was caused by an Associated Press dispatch
 mentioned in the Senate during the day 1 by Senator Mccormick. republican of | Illinois, saying it was understood in
 Paris that the Berlin government was
 sending copies of the treaty to member: 1 of Congress. So far as could be learned Il no such copies have arrived here. Sen ! a tor Borah has announced his intention
 of making the treaty public as soon as 1 he receives a copy, but he said tonigh ] ho had been unable so far to obtain one

TOO HASTILY DRAWN

 Senator Lodge said the Hitchcock reso- lution apparently had been hastily drawn and that his object was to i'm prove the language of the measure. With this Senator Hitchcock immediately took issue, saying the substitute was quite different in context because it did not name Senators Lodge of Massachusetts and Borah, republican, of Idaho, as hav- ing made charges that the treaty is in private hands in New York.
 His own proposal, continued MT. Hitch cock, would show, by naming the two sena tors, where the information came from that started the inquiry.

Yes terday and the day before he was for this resolution. And now the senator, who was so anxious to make statements here about the treaty being in New York. wants some one else investigated. '
 Referring to differences that the treaty was in the hands of financial interests Senator Hitchcock drew a pointed reply from Senator Lodge.
 "I didn't say that shouted the for eign relations chairman. Does the sen ator question the truth of what I say?' No" retorted Senator Hitchcock, ''but l think we ought to have another inves tigation to find out what's happened dur ing the last 24 hours, and what new ligh the senators on the other side of tn, chamber have seen.

sons return to Paris from Italy means
opening of final discussions between
French statesmen on the one side and
American and British on the other con-
cerning the attitude of peace eonferees
toward the organization of the league
of nations
The basic principles of the proceed
ings of the peace conscience will be
decided by the debates of the next fw
days in Paris. This means that the
present week may become critical in
its influences upon the worlds future.
Challenges Central Powers.
Premier Cleme nceau is holding out
for new qusdruple alliance to consist
of France, Great Britain, Italy and the
United States, which shall in effect
challenge the central powers and Russia
to contest for world dominion. Allied
statesmen are in some respects inclined
to follow frances lead in this mater.
The Paris debates, therefore, will find
America and Great Britain representing
one viewpoint and the Latin countries
another.
The Latins cannot win, however, be-
cause neither American or British pub
lie opinion would sanction a return to
the balance of power diplomacy. IfI
France and Italy block the creation of
a league of nations, the alternative will
be America IS retirement from co-opera-
tion in the affairs of continental Eu-
