council of four had no official secre- cisions were minutely recorded. In the second. bureaucratic paper mongers nearly cost us the war Later on, In 1920, they nearly conn passed the Sabotage" of the peace. Thanks are due to those who dis cussed things freely without thought of protecting themselves by and with a set of minutes! Fault has been found with the time spent in discussion. The conference of Paris began on January 12, 1919. The treaty was in the hands of the Ger pmans on May 2. It was signed on June 2s. There is no instance in his- tory of a work of this magnitude ac- complished so rapidly.
 The congress of Vienna laster Is months: the congress of WestphaliA five years, and in each case the task was less. If my personal experience Of the negotiations has left any re- Eret in my mind, it is that at times things were done too quickly. Fault has been found that contrary to diplomatic tradition, the treaty of peact was built without the classic propylaeum of a preliminary treaty. Perhaps it would have been better if a summary treaty had followed close upon the armistice This Is what the French delegates had at first pro- posed. Circumstances made it inn possible. These preliminaries could have been signed neither before Feb .ruary 15. when MT Wilson left for Washington and Mir Lloyd George for London, nor during the absence Cto.. <I T by an assassin on February 21.
 When everybody met again on March IS, the progress made by the commissions justified the hope that the work would soon be finished, as 1t was in fact six weeks later, when the treaty was ready and the ieda of preliminaries was abandoned. It was also abandoned for two other req sons The first was that a prelmi- nary, that Is to say, a provisional and incomplete peace, would have encouraged the already active cam paIgn for immediate demobilization, which everybody realized was both necessary and dangerous.
 The second was that President Wilson, anxious to have only one draft, and not two. to submit to the United States Senate and deslr- ing also not to dissociate the ratifica- ton of the peace from the ratflca- tion of the League of Nations, insis- tently urged the abandonment of preliminaries and the immediate preparation of the final treaty of peace. The ratification of the treaty by the United States Senate was a matter of so many and such keen ap- prehensions to the European powers that they did not even think of dis regarding on a question of procedure the formal desire of the President of the United States. That is why the preliminaries were abandoned and the final treaty prepared.

Of final yield range around 0,ooo,-

Wheat Loses Ground, Due to
Weather Conditions and
Crop Report.

CHICAGO, June 4.-Excellent
weather conditions over the west
for filling out the new wheat crop,
combined with report from a local
expert who is touring Nebraska
and finding prospects for a liberal
yield, and the opening of trading
in the September. led to general
selling and a rather sharp decline.
The big advance of late had weak
ened the technical position and at
the inside figure today July was
nearly 10 cents from the high OF
yesterday. with some stop-loss or
ders uncovered on the way down.
Some of the best buyers OF pre-
vious. days were active sellers. and
sentiment was decidedly mixed as
many are looking for higher prices
ultimately and under 1888 for the
July good support was in evidence
September opened at l.221S to leg
and quickly dropped to 1.17h. rang
ing about 14al5 cents under the
July. There was some selling OF
S"0tewber and buying Of July by
commission houses. The general
run OF news was rather bearish, and
export demand early was reported
as slow. although it was UNDER

movement of corn is liberal, but
good part of the arrivals were
