Credentials Satisfactory.

Paris, May 2.-The credentials OF
members OF the German peace dele
CATION have been found to be satis-
factory, declared Marcel Hutin in the
Echo de Paris today.
The peace treaty, Hutin said, win
be composed of from fifteen to
twenty chapters, with a preamble
stating why the allies entered Iiio
war, and why a league OF nations is
a necessity. This will be followed by
two chapters dealing with Germany's
frontiers, then a chapter carrying
military. naval and aerial clauses.
and a chapter dealing with the dis
position of Germany's colonies. The
final chapter will refer to the guar
antees which Germany must give that
she will carry out her part of the
peace pact.
The peace treaty will be handed to
the Germans on Tuesday, the Petit
Journal believes.
According to the Matin, the Belgian
ministry has requested the Belgian
delegates to warn the big three that
the Belgian public is greatly excsred
over the failure to obtain satisfac-
tion in the conference"

Complaints of Overcharging
Under Guise of Luxury Tax Filed

which can be supplied by revenue
collectors.
In the case of the luxury taxes, it
was emphasized today, the tax of 10
per cent. is imposed only on the ex-
cess of cost above certain sum
specified in the law for each kind of
an article, and not on the entire sale
price.
Soda clerks also were urged to as
certain that beef tea, coffee, sand
wiches, cake, ice cream in buckets
and medicinal preparations often sold
at fountains are not taxable.
A few complaints to the bureau re-
lated that customers were charged by
druggists more than the 1-cent tax
imposed on each 25 cents or fraction
of the cost of toilet and medicinal
preparations.

BAN OF SECRECY PLACED
ON GERMAN PEACE TERMS
PRESIDENT WANTED TO
PUBLISH DOCUMENT.
Premiers, However, Outvoted
Him-Germans to Get
Treaty by Monday.

Paris, May "a. N. S.)-Once
again President Wilson has been out
voted in an attempt to secure pub
licity in the peace conference pro-
ceedings. The American delegates
asked that the newspaper correspond
ents be allowed to see the handing
of the peace treaty to the German
delegates. But when the matter was
taken up by the big three, Premier
C1emenceau would not consent and
was backed up by Premier Lloyd
George, President Wilson remaining
in the minority.
As a result, it will be impossible to
secure the slightest publicity over
this proceeding.
1t is now understood that when the
treaty is turned over to the German
envoys thev will be given a fort
night to consider it, and to submit
in writing any changes they may de-
sire.
1t was believed today that the
treaty terms would not be in the
hands OF the Germans before Mon
day, although it was suggested yes
terday that this proceeding might
come either on Saturday or Sunday.

minister, were formally handed to the

Time to Consider.
Should the Germans be given two
weeks for consideration of the pact,
and should it be presented to them
on Monday, this means that the final
stage of the peace proceedings, so
far as Germany is concerned, would
be reached on or about May 19. A
few days would be given for con-
sideration of any alterations the
Germans might suggest. The sigma
lures probably will be placed upon
the treaty about May % or rs.
1t is unlikely that the treaty the
Austrian delegates must sign will be
ready before June. There are trou-
blesome territorial problems involved
in that document which will require
careful handling.
Whether President Wilson will be
able to remain in France until the
Austrian treaty has been completed
has not get been decided. This mat

Hun Fleet to Be Divided;
England Shifted Her Position

it is probable that Germany's twenty
eight capital ships will be allocated
according to the losses in ships by
the allied belligerents. This would
give Great Britain twice as many
ships as any of the other nations.
America will not participate in the
division. preferring to come out OF the
war with no gains of any sort.
Those who have studied the sit
uation regret the decision that has
been reached, as they are convinced
that the break-up of the German fleet
would have been regarded as an
earnest of the professions for dis
armament and so would have been
a herald for better days. Distribution
