PARIS, June 17.-Official French in
formation is that the Germans, like
their government, are radically divided
over the question Of signing the treaty
1t is stated that Count Won Brock
dorff- -Rantzau evidently wants to
sign but that pride prevents him.
Chancellor Scheidemann is against
signing, being unable consistently to
do so after his vigorous campaign
against yielding. Herr Erzberger, head
of the armistice commission, is ex-
pected by the French to try clever
diplomacy to obtain at least the ap-
pearance of still further concession.
Many German journalists attached
to the German delegation have re-
turned to Germany, some to campaign
for signing and some against it.
French officials hope that the united
Allied front will ultimately intimi-
date the Germans.

The Changes
Upper Silesia

Upper Silesia
T'HE most important change in the
Il territorial section of the treaty is
the admission of Upper Silesia to the
list Of regions entitled to a plebscite
BY the terms of the original docu-
ment Upper Silesia was transferred
absolutely to Poland. Since this ter
rtory was not Polish at the time of
the Polish partitions, the peace confer
ence has decided to give its inhabi-
tants the right to determine their own
political iegiance In his letter to
Brockdorf Rantzau M. Clemenceau says
that, according to the census of 1910,
the population of Upper Silesia con-
sisted of 1,250,000> Poles and $4,000
Germans. If the proportion remains
the same to-day the result of the pleb-
iscite can hardly be in favor of Ger
many.
West Prussia
Some notifications are also conceded
of the boundaries of the districts of
West Prussia, which were transferred
to Poland. 1t is announced that the
old boundary line between Pomerania
and West Prussia will be accepted as
the western boundary of the Polish
acquisitions.
SchlessUig
The summary suggests that one of
the Schleswig plebiscite zones is to be
eliminated. This statement, however,
is not borne out by the details given.
indemnify
Germany is to receive notice of the
sum total of the indemnity demanded
of her earlier than 1921.
German Army
The German army may be main
tanned at strength of got, 900, or at
a strength of between 100000 and
100000, until certain progress is made
toward the fultilment of the terms of
the treaty.
The kaiser
The Allies do not waive their right
to try the Kaiser and others RESPONSE
Bile for breaches of international law
and the laws of war But they will
furnish Germany list of those sub
Ject to prosecution within thirty days
after the signing Of the convention.
Rhinegand Rule
An inter-Allied Rhineland commits
sion is established-a civilian body
which will be substitute for German
political control.
admission TO League
With regard to Germany's claim for
immediate admission into any league
of nations which may be formed the
Allied powers say that they have never
had the intention of definitely exclud-
ing Germany or any other power from
membership, and that every country
whose government has proved it's sta
bility and it's desire to observe inter-
national obligations will be supported
in its demands for admission. They
add that in Germany's case the events
of the last five years prove the need
Of definite test, the length of which
will depend on the acts of the German
government, especially toward the
treaty.
Economic Questions
The inclusion in the covenant Of the
German proposals regarding economic
questions is considered unnecessary.
ornaments
The Allied powers will guarantee
protection, under the league, of Ger
man minorites in ceded territories
and intend to open negotiations imme-
diatey for a general reduction of arm
aments, as provided in the covenant, in
the expectation that Germany carries
out her engagements in this regard.
Schleswig Plebiscite
The provisions regarding Schleswig
are obscure. According to- the sum-
mary, the pebiscte in Northern
New-York tribune., 1919-06-18
Limitation OF ornaments


The military terms were not drawn
solely with a view of making it i'm
possible for Germany to resume her
policy of military aggression, but also
as the first step toward the general
limitation of armaments. AS the CO.
lossal growth in armaments in the past
few decades was forced upon Europe
by Germany, it is right, the reply de-
clares, that the process Of limitation
should begin with her.
The Allies are willing, in the in
terest of general peace and the well
fare of the German people, to allow
Germany to reduce her army more
gradually than stipulated in the orig
inal draft of the treaty Within three
months she must have reduced her
army to maximum of 100000 men,
and at the end of that three months
and every three months thereafter to
allow Allied military experts to fix her
military strength for the succeeding
three months, the object being to reach
the 100000 stipulated in the original
treaty as soon as possible and at least
by March 81, 1920.
Fortresses situated in the neutral
zone east of the Rhine not occupied
by the powers will be dismantled in
six months, and those in occupied ter
ritory will be dismantled when ordered
by the Allied High Command.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-18
Schlesavig Plebiscife

The provisions regarding Schleswig
are obscure. According to- the sum-
mary, the plebiscte in Northern
Schleswig promised by Germany, but
never granted, is now assured on the
request of Denmark and the people
concerned. The territory as far as
the Elder and the Schlei is to be
evacuated by the Germans, and at the
end of fifteen years will be free to
choose its own sovereignty. An earlier
version contains the suggestion that
the third Schleswig zone has been
omitted. Denmark has been recently
reported as unwilling to reannex parts
of Schleswg in which the German
element has become influential, if not
predominant. In the original text of
the treaty the three plebiscites in
Schleswig were to be taken ten days,
three weeks and not exceeding eight
weeks, after the singing of the treaty.
East Prussia
No modification is granted as to
Danzig or East Prussia or Memel. 1t
New-York tribune., 1919-06-18

announced, "the powers have the right
to demand that Germany be no longer
intimately involved in their fnancia,
or economic life, or in that of Ger
many's former allies or Ru1sia. As
the greater part of Germany's foreign
securities must be liquidated, the pro-
lection of German holders will no
longer Justify German participation in
international organizations"
The right is reserved to demand Of
Germany also her credits in Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Economic Terms
In the discussion of the economic
clauses the reply states that the
principles enunciated by President
Wilson and embodied in the covenant
of the league of nations as to the
equality of trade conditions will be
brought into effect when the world
returns to normal, but ir the mean
time transitional regime is essential
to save certain Allied states from
position of economic inferortv be-
cause of the damage done to their
territorities during the war; Reel
procity is impossible at present, and
general and indiscriminate reapplca-
tion of multilateral and bilateral
treaties cannot be accepted.
Consular relations are not recipro-
cally established, owing to the war
activity of German consuls. Private
property of Germans abroad may be
justly used to meet reparation charges
The property of German institutions
for research and education, it is held,
Cannot be immune, in the light of their
past activities"
