The general inipree-lon which one
gathers about the German hadquar-

is committed to a definite, all be ii
possibly, disastrous course of action.
French officials admin that the
date for the signature oil the peace
treaty is again receding. count Won
Brockdorff -Rantzau, they say,
brought back voluminous counter
proposals to the treaty which will
be delivered Thursday. 1t is antici-
pated that the allies may consider it
necessary to give these proposals
from eight days to three weeks con-
sideration. When the allies deliver
their answer the Germans will be
directed tol sign the treaty forth
with. If they refuse, it will mean
that the armistice is at an end. 1t
is impossible, therefore, TO set the
exact date for the signature.
The partition of the turkish en-
pire, mainly to satisfy Itaio- Greek
ambitions, is being reconsidered
again by the Big Four. The French
say they will lose by any partition,

interests throughout Asia Minor
must suffer.
