PEACE TREATY IS
RAPIDLY FORMING
TREATY PROMISES TO BE VERY
LONG DOCUMENT OWING TO
GERMAN MILITARY SYSTEM.

Paris.-The first rough outlines Of
the peace treaty are beginning 10
take form as result of the rapid dis
posal Of the main questions before
the council of the great powers
The treaty promises to be a very
long document, chiefly owing to de
layed provisions concerning the Ger
man military system and methods for
its control by the allies. 1t will
enbody, however. only five or six
main divisions. namely:
First: Military, naval and aerial
terms; second, reparations for the
war damages; third, German boun-
daries; fourth, economic and finan-
cial provisions and probably fifth. re-
sponsibilities for the war
All three main subjects are In dn
advanced stage and have been either
adopted or agreed on in principle,
with the exception of some reserved
points on which President Wilson
and the premiers are TO take final
action.
Military Germany will go out of ex,
fstence as the result of the adoption
by the Supreme Council of the mill
tary terms of German disarmament
as they will go into the peace treaty.
These terms provide for a sweeping
reduction of the German military es-
tablishment down to 100000 men
with 1000 officers. the army to De re.
cruited by the voluntary system for
Il years. This will limit Germany's
military strength to less than the
number of men Switzerland has in
her army.
Other provisions limit the arms
and munitions Germany may possess
to a quantity sufficient for 100000
men. and all the remainder must be
delivered over or destroyed.
