governments with reference to the
last paragraphs of the letter which
contains their reply. do not consider
that the sole act of sinking the Ger
man ships at Scapa Flow constitutes
Il crime Of war for which individual
punishment will be cNactcd in con-
forntity with article 22S of the peace
treaty.
"On the other hand. the allied and
associated powers wish to point out
that. without losing sight Of the vital
economic interests OF Germany. they
have presented Il demand for 100000
tons ON the inventory established by
them. German experts have furnished
details which we will verify and
which give q smaller figure. Consc-
iucntly there will eventually be de-
ductcd from the 100000 tons of oating
docnS. cranes. tugs and drcdgcrs
claimed by the allies Il tonnage Of
floaling docks, which after veriiication
We will recognize as having included
on the intcrallicd inventory by mis-
take and which consequently does not
exist, Nevertheless such deduction
Shall not exceed 1850 tons.
THE allied and associated powers
add that the $4,000 ions proposed by
the German government, Of which q
list was handed over during the dclib-
Iorations Of the technical commissions,
must be delivered immediately. For the
balance OF tho tonnage, as shall be de-
tCrmincd by thc commission ON rcpal-
atoms, Il delay will be allowed the
German government which can not cX-
coed 50 months for delivery of The To-
tai amount"
! tSi2ncd, "Glcmcnccau."
( The outstanding comment tonight
ON the ceremony is that ii leaves the
United states the only power which
was actively at war with Germany not
now on u peace basis. That was the
note sounded by Won l.crSncr, head of
the German peace delegation, in Il
statement TO the Associated Press inn
mcdiatcly after the ceremony.
Il am naturally happy that peace
has finally become effective" Baron
Won I4crsncr said ''My great rcgrc,
is that the United States is the only

that this situation will soon be
changed.
Execution Of the treaty of Yer
sailles imposes upon Germany the
heaviest sacrifices ever borne by ma
ton in modern times. We lost Nin the
west and in the east territories that
belonged to Prussia for many centu-
RIGS. We have assumed enormous eco
nomic obligations. Nevertheless, |
am glad that peace is at last re-es-
tablishcd, because it will give back to
Germany her best bcovcd sons still

Asked as to the execution Of the
terms Of the treaty Baron Won Lersner
declared that Germany was ready and
determined odo her utmost. He con-
tinucd:
I'VE have already. even without be-
ing obliged by the terms of the treaty,
delivered a considerable quantity Of
products, including 100000 tons Of
coal to France, and Cali say that
Germany will go to the utmost limit
OF possibility in fulfilling all the Obli-
cations she has incurred. 1t will
mean hard times for Germany, but
With The recovery Of our ardor for
labor and production We hope to meet
every emergency.
The recovery of our economic pro-
pCrty is as much to interest of the
entente as it Is to us, on account OF
the great economic difficulties that
threaten all Europe. 1t is obvious,
speaking chiefly Of France, that her
economic prosperity depends upon the
economic recovery Of Germany
