Paris, June l6.-The final reply of
the Allied and associated powers to
the conditions Of peace handed to the
Germans at Versailles, May 7, was de-
Eered to the German delegatvion to-
day and made public shortly after

Five days was the allotted period
originally fixed for the Germans to
answer yes or no to the demands of
the Allied. But two days additional

sistence of the German delegation
that not sufficient time had been al
lowed for proper consideration of the
revised terms. This will extend the
time limitation to Monday, June 21

tions have been vigorously upheld, as
establishing peace of justice, but
certain notifications in detail and
many explanations Of the effect Of ex-
ecution are made.
The reply is in two parts-a gen
eral covering letter and seriatim dis
cussions of the general counter pro-
posals. The changes include.
