A period of seven days of grace
has been extended to Germany by
the representatives of the allied and
associated governments in which
the German peace plenipotentiaries
may conclude their study of the
peace treaty and formulate such re-
plies to the various clauses as they
desire.
The extension of time, which orig
inally was to have expired at noon
Thursday was set forward to Thurs
day, May 10th, at the request OF the
Germans who advanced the plea
that more time was required in or
der that they might formulate ar
guments of much Importance. Al
most simultaneously with TIE re-
quest by the peace plenipotentaries
for more time comes from Berlin a
statement of the German cabinet
that Germany is unwilling to sign
the peace treaty. The document is
a reiteration, although in stronger
words, of the views of the foremost
statesmen in Germany that the
signing of the compact would spell
the ruin of the former empire.
