Daily Summary
of Peace News
BY The Associated Press

Although there has been no Off
clal announcement, it is expected
the German peace delegation will
present its contemporaries to
the terms of peace at Versailles
sometime during today 1t Is
known that the German reply TO
the ronce conference has been
completed and as the extension of
the time limit fixed for the reply
expires. tomorrow noon. the OH
cial attitude of Germany toward
the treaty must be made known
without delay.
Dispatches from Berlin and Par
is indicate that the Germans will
base their proposals on the claim
that they accepted the offer of the
allies to conclude peace ON the
basis of President Wilson's four
teen points and other assertions
by allied representatives. that the
peace would not be one of violence.
1t is said that the Germans VIII
claim to have ousted the old i'm
perialistic regime and substituted
for it democratic government,
and will for this reason ask for
ameloration of the price they are
asked to pay for peace.
There are reports which seem
to reflect a disposition ON the part
of the allies not to parley long if
Al
sign the terms. An Amsterdam
dispatch states that the Belgian
frontier has been closed and that
all Belgian soldiers have been re
called from leave. 1t is further
reported that general mobilization
of the Belgian army will be or
dered as soon as it is definitely
known the Germans will not sign
the treaty, if that decision is reach
ed by the enemy delegation.
Allied commanders along the
Rhine where the British, American
and French armies held strategic
bridgehcads, are reported to have
held conferences relative to action
if the Germans decline to conclude
peace on the allied terms. 1t may
be that the treaty with Austria
will not be presented on Friday
as planned. The Italian delegation
is declared to be delaying consid-
Grafton of clauses of the treaty
dealing with the southern frontiers
of Austria, insisting that the ques
ton of the frontiers shall be
coupled with that of the Dalma
tian coast. 1t seems probable that
the whole treaty will not be pre-
scented at the first meeting between
the Austrian and allied delegations.
The military, naval and repara-
tions clauses may be omitted, to-
gether with definite demands re-
garding Fiume.
Limited recognition may be ac-
corded the all-Russian government
at Omsk. in the form of lending
aid in supplies and money to Ad
miral Kolchak, head of the Omsk
government. This will be condi-
toned upon the holding Of general
elections, or if the kolchak army
reaches Moscow, the re-convoking
of the Russian constituent assem-
bly, elected during the incumbency
of a. +. kerensky as premier and
nominal head of the Russian revo-
lutionary government

concerning the league of nations, and
the return to the old system of alli-
ances; the absence of an international
financial system and economic organiZa
ton: continuation of the economic
war and the failure to Incorporate in
