Paris April 17---The Germans may be required to
sign the peace treaty by May 15 it learned good
authority today.
There was still some difference of opinion among the
delegates regarding the adVsability of setting time
limit But the majority appeared to believe the period be-
tween April 25 when the treaty will be submitted to the
German delegates, and May 15 would be sufficient for
the German government to debate all the provisions and

Those opposed to fixing time limit
eontended the allies possibly might
not be ready to receive the Germans
even by April 2j, whereupOn the enc
my would seek to enlarge any differ
enee in viewpoint still existing among
the allies and which would naturally
have to be discussed during the Ger
mans stay in Versailles. With a time
limit fixed, the allies would then be
required to hurry their work, result
ing in some confusion and possibly dis
satisfaction.
Delegates favoring May 10 as the
time for acceptance of the treaty by
the enemy pointed out, however, that
unless some curb was established on
the Germans, consideration Of the
treaty would be drawn out indefinite
ly, contingency that would work in
finite harm.
23 Belhgerents Sign
The invitation to the Germans ap-
parently was forwarded before all the
belhgerents had an opportunity to
sign it. Ii is understood to have been
taken by courier to Spa on Tuesday,
at which time only the five great pow
ers had signed the text. The eighteen
smaller belligerents were called in yes
terday and the document read to them
by Premier Clemenceau, after which
their approval was asked. No 0biec-
tiOns were offered aud the additional
signatures were affixed. The meeting
took place in Foreign Minister Piehons
office in the Quai D'Orsay. 1t was
purely formal, but necessary, as there
were % nations at war with Germany,
instead Of five. The document bearing
the signature of the smaller nations, it
was believed was hurried to Spa in
the wake of the first message.
Speculation continued today on the
possible date of President Wilson S re-
turn to Washington. In "white house
circles, however, it was said that all
tentative dates are guesses so far. The
only definite fact was the recent au-
thoritatiye announcement that the
president would remain here until the
treaty with Germany is disposed of.
German Language Ignored
The German treaty. it was stated to-
day, probably will be worded both in
English and French, but not in Ger
man. Its translation into German un-
doubtedly will be undertaken by the
Germans themselves, but this text
would have to be approved by allied
experts.

tenant Mckenzie Grieve, his naviga.
tor, were confident and eager to be
off, but they would not discuss their
hopes or plans.
A heavy wind prevented any aerial
operations yesterday. The aviators
spent most of the day indoors. Work
men were the only persons to visit the
hangers Of the planes which will at
tempt the big flight. A northeast
wind has packed an Arctic ice floe into

prevails.
The contest between Hawker and
Raynham has reached stage where
it is no longer a race to be the first
