Daily Summary
of Peace News
By The Associated Press

Peace conference circles view the
situation in Germany as pertaining
to the acceptance of the treaty
With optimism, and plans for the sign
ing of the treaty are being carried
into execution.
The conference has not received
any official communication or re-
quests from the Germans.
Reports from Berlin, however,
say Matthias Erzberger, head of the
German armistice commission, is
sending the conference u request
that Germany be admitted to the
League of Nations, that the pur-
pose TO try the former emperor be
not pressed and that the German
indemnity be placed at one hundred
billion marks gold. There is no Of
fetal confirmation of this, and
report from Weimar, received III
Copenhagen. says it is not in accor'
dance with the actual facts.
A state of seige has been declared
in the region of Munster, east OF
the Rhine in Westphalia. Sparta
can disturbances are reported to
have led to the proclamation.
The Italian cabinet situation has
not vet been cleared up. Francesca
Nitti, former minister of finance,
apparently is continuing his efforts
to form a ministry. 1t is reported
that Tomasso Tittoni will resume
his old post as foreign minister.
The advices seem to indicate that
President Ebert will retain office,
at least for the time being.
1t seems probable that the minis
terial crisis caused by the neces'
sity of quickly deciding upon the
signing of the allied peace terms
will result in n request from Ger
many for an extension of time be-
vond Monday for reaching final
decision. Dispatches from PARIS
would appear to indicate that under
the circumstances, such request
would be favorably received.

Washington, June 2l.-Army OIL
cials here said today the American army
now preparing to advance in Germany
could operate as an entity separate
from its home base for u year or more
if circumstances should require. They
declared the force of 5000 men prob
ably was the best.cquipped that ever
had been assembled.
The personnel was described as
practically hand picked" with equip
ment of the modern type. Great depots
situated in the area behind the Coblcnz
brdgehead were filled with the best
reserve supply of each division detch'
ed and returned to the United States
supply before the remaining surplus
was concentrated further in the rear
for disposal.
In the event of an advance, it is
the opinion here that the First ano
Second divisions will be the active ele
ments, with the Third and Fourth as
the immediate reserve and the Fifth
holding the third line.
