 Versailles, June 16.-The reply of the allied and associated governments to Gcrmany's counter proposals to the peace treaty and revisited copy of the peace treaty tonight are in the hands of count Von Brockorff -Ran- tzau, who is on his way to WWeimer, there to present to the German national assembly the final word of the victors in the, war.
 Few changes have been made in the revised peace treaty. The original contentious of the allied and associa- ted powers virtually have been main- tained intact. Five days was the al- loted period originally fixed for the Germans to answer yes or no to the demands of the allies But two day additional have been granted because of the insistence of the German dele- gation that not sufficient time had been allowed for proper consideration of the revised terms. This will ex- tend the time limitation to Monday June 23 If Germany's reply is "Yes" the treaty will be immeditely signed; if Germany declines to accede to the demands, the armistice will be auto- matically terminated and the allied armed forces will take whatever steps , they deem necessary.
 With the revised treaty, containing interlineations in red ink where changes had been made in it. was a { covering note written by Premier Clemenceau. It had been impossible ] to print the treaty in time for it's pre- sentaton today.
 The covering note severely casti- gates Germany for protesting against ], the treaty on the grounds that the treaty conflicts with the terms of the armistice. M. Clemenceau says Ger many fails to understand the posi- tion she occupies today in the estima- tion of the world for being responsi- ble for war which was "the great est crime against humanity and the | freedom of the people that any nation, calling itself civilized, has ever con- sciously committed"
 Protest Short Time Allowed | Without ostentation, Paul Dutasta, general secretary of the peace con- ference. at 6:49 o'clock this evening placed the revised draft of the treaty and the note in the hands of Ger man Legation Secretary Simon and : Baron Won Loersner, with whom M. ! Dutasta had a conversation lasting 1 for several minutes, explaining the nature of the instrument and the length of time allotted for the Ger mans to reply. Herr Simon protes- ted against the short time given Ger many to make known her intention. | M. Dutasta arrived in Versailles by automobile from Paris at 6:20 o'clock, carrying the momentous docu- ments in two parcels wrapped in prosaic brown paper. He was re- ceived by Colonel Henry, master of ceremonies at Versailles, and off cers of the allied missions, and con- ducted to the reading.
 l The party was grouped along one side of the room. In front of M. Dutasta was a large marble-topped table upon which the documents were placed in two piles. there was con- siderable wait before Legation Sec retary Simon and Baron Won Loer- sned arrived. escorted by two French officers. The Gehmans took their places at the other side of the table.
 At 6:49 o'clock Herr Simon i'm formally reached across the table and took the documents and handed them to Baron Von Loersner, this actually consulting the formal receipt of the treaty and the ultimatum. A re- ceipt from the Germans for the docu- ments were required by M. Dustasta. After the brief conversation be- tween the general secretary and Herr Simon, the Germans returned to their apartments in the hotel, Won Loersner carrying the documents under his arm in green portfolio. Later, Count Von Brockdorff- Rantzau boarded 3 train for Weimer, taking the papers with him.
