way. Respectfully submitted,

see. immediately after that confer
ence the campaign was begun Ill the
states of Tennessee, Georgia, Loulsl-

President Will Answer
woodrow Wilson to Reply to
Germans on Fourteen

Paris. HAY 10 .(By the Associated
Press)-Presiden Wilson will per-
sonally direct such answers as may
be decided upon concerning German
Inquiries in the peace treaty differ
ing from the presidents "A points.
This was announced in high quar-
ters today in connection with the In
structions which Chancellor Schiede-
mann has given the German plenlpo-
tentiaries at Versailles to address q
note to the allies comparing the terms
of the, treaty with the 4 points ana
making a counterproposal for verbal
negotiations. Thus far. however. no
such note or counterproposal has been
received and it is the present opinion
nothing is likely to take such form
for a week. as the Germans probably
viii wish to study the treaty before
taking action.
The view is held by the American
delegation that Herr Schiedemann' S
objections are not well taken tha'
the treaty is contrary to the prcsi-
dents fourth point on disarma-
ment and fifth point on colonial qocs-
tons II is explained while the treaty
contains provision for GcrmanT,s
disarmament. this is preliminary 20
tie general limitation of ornaments
by other nations and that the cove
nant of the league makes general
restriction of armamentS.
Herr Schiedemann's contention tnat
the German colonies are delivered to
the allies contrary to President VIII
sons fifth point is met by the state
ment that the colonies are not dellv-
cred to the allies. but to the league
of nations which administers them
| through mandatories for the benefit OF
their native peoples.
+! Concerning the proposal FOR verbal
negotiation, it is said much eNplana-
tory detail will probably be done
verbally. but that any proposition tor
Q general opening Of verbal nesotla'
tions will lie rejected.
