The signature wes expected at noon
yesterday. but Ellis Loring Dresel.
American commissioner at Berlin,

point and this was assumed to have
delayed signature.
After a 24-hour discussion of the

TO the White House TO hear the text,
these points stood out:
The main portion Of the treaty
follows the text OF the Knox resoiu-

this way Germany agrees to reserve
10 the United States all the right that
would have been ours II we had en-
tered the treaty OF Versailles and

Of German property here.
The treaty does not contain any
provision by which Germany ac-
knowledges guilt for the war.

one unsettled point about thu
treaty is as to whether IL contains
any provision for the giving up b.
