is returning to the front tomorrow,
according to Reuter- despatch from
Paris.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, May II. - The outstandinl
points in the situation here to-da,
were the receipt OF more notes from
the German delegation at Versatile.
and the departure from that place Of
six members Of the German mission
for Berlin.
The new notes OF the Germans were
submitted in two patches. Premier
Clemenceau. as chairman of the Peaof
Congress. received two communica
tions last night dealing with the sub
jects OF prisoners and labor. Add
tional communications were submitted
o-day in sealed envelopes through the
French liaison officer to the French
Foreign Office, which alone, outside
the Germans, is cognizant Of the con-
tents of the latest notes.
The Germans suggest that the labor
agreement be considered at the proposed
conference along the lines Of the con-
clusions Of the labor conference of July
1917.
The note relating to prisoners criti-
ciEes the clause dealing with the return
Of prisoners of war and asks that they
be returned Immediately after the sign
ing Of preliminaries and that adequate
supplies Of food and clothing be guar
anteed them. It Is considered in peace
conference circles that the treaty as II
stands provides amply for this point
The notes have not yet been consid'
cred by the Council of Four, but will be
taken up Tomorrow. The notes suggest
the holding Of a joint labor convention
at Versailles for consideration OF the
points raised. Satisfaction is expressed
with the labor clausea in general, but II
is pointed out that they cover principles
already in force in Germany and that
they do not go far enough.
The replies which the Council OF -Four
sent TO the German delegation yesterday
In answer to the two early. notes OF
Count Won Brockdorfr- -Rantzau. the head
OF the German mission, were drawn W
with the personal and particularly &C
tive participation Of President Wilson
according to the Temps.
The six German Ministers left Yer
sailles last night and included Carl Le'
glen, labor leader and head OF the Ger
man Trades Union conference; Privy
Councillor Eberbach. representative OF
the Ministry OF Railroads and Herr
Schmidt of the Foreign Office. All three
men rank as commissioners next In inn
portance to the plenipotentiaries. The
commissioners undoubtedly have beer
charged with carrying on direct discus,
sions OF the situation with the German
Government
An official note issued to-day says
that German correspondent sent to the
Ncues Wiener TdgbIdtt a despatch that
the hotel at Versailles where the Ger
man delegates are housed is full of spies
acting as hotel attendants and that mi
crophones have been installed in all the
rooms
The note brands the report as an odl-
GUS and calumnious invention and says
II 1t is repeated the French Government
may find 1t necessary to expel the Ger
man correspondents.
Herr Giesberts, Count Obendorff and
several other Germans attended mass to-
day. while the usual small party went
to the Protestant church. The rest of
the delegation worked part OF the day
on the German counter-proposals to the
Entente demands.
