Courses Seem Open to Vanquished—Ac-; ceptance, Rejection or Submission to Plebescite { 4 | (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) : i With the draft: of the peace treaty to Germany now in the hands of the plenipotentiaries of that nation, the conference is turning its attention to the mak ing of peace with other powers. Either the national assembly itself or important committees of it are to take up the terms with Berlin. Three courses seem open to the German government. It may either accept the conditions, reject them or submit them to a plebescite. ; Some time ago it was reported from Berlin that the machinery to carry out a nation-wide election had been prepared, and that the people could be called upon to express their desires within 48 hours in case the government should not care to take the responsibility | meeting the situation. The speech of Count Von Bratsford Rantzau in response to Premier Clemenceau yesterday at Versailles seemed to indicate that Germany would prepare ob, jections to some featurs of the treaty. All German objections must be submitted in writing with- | in the two weeks’ time her representatives have for examination of the treaty.

The Austrian treaty has begun to take form. Portions of it already have been drafted. ; It appears that instead of Germany being required to pay the entire in: demnity demandeéd by the allies a con- siderable sum ‘will be demanded of Austria, the extent of this sum at resent being five billion pounds, This indemnity and the delimination of the frontiers of the. new state willbe the main feature. of the ireaty now in the making. Provision is to be made for dividing Austria Hungary's pre-war debts.” The frontiers’ pétween"-Gerina nents! 7” tria and Italy, and probably the Adri- atic. settlement will also figure in the Austrian treaty. 4 age TO RECEWE!/HUNGARY NEXT.

It is expected that the United States | will be asked to become mandatory for Armen The indications are that President Wilson will submit the mut- ter to congress, Informations reaching the peace con- ference from Versailles lead to the be- lief that two. or three members of the} German peace delegation probably Wil return to Germany to consult their government, the others remaining at Versailles. Germany has not yet sub- mitted any communication regarding the treaty. All exchanges between the delegates at Versailles and the home government are being! kept secret.

Copenhagen, May 8.—The Hungar- ian communist) ;government has re- fused the armistice terms offered by Rumania and has decided to fight to the utmost, a dispatch from Budapest says: The Rumanian government demand- ed the diramrament of the forces fight- ing against her and her jallies, the surrender of war materia!,‘and return of prisoners and hosteges without re-| ciprocity. HONOR OF FRANCE SATISFIED. Paris, May 8.—The full text of the peace treaty will not be published un- til after it has been signed, the Echo de Paris says today. The document then will be presented to parliament for ratification, probably the 4th or 5th of June. The general comment of Paris news- papers is that the honor of France has ‘been satisfied and the efforts of its officers to give satisfaction to the legitimate claims of nations wronged | by German aggression are satisfied.

The entire {half hour which it took Coynt .Von Brogkdorff-Rantzau to deliver his re- ly to Premier Clemenceau was a pe- riod of tenseness for President Wil- son, Premier Clemenceau, and Premier |Geogge,. and, in fact, for virtually everyone present. The speech was translated sentence by sentence by the German interpre- ters who did not fail to bring out with full emphasis every sharp phrase-in it and the three abied statesmen put their heads together in evident anger at more than one of the German cut: ting statements. i The program was unaltered, how- ever, and when the German plenipo- tentiary had finished, Premier Clem- enceau put the customary phrase “has anyone further observation to make?” and ‘when there was no response, con- tinued, “I then declare the session closed.” The allied triumphate remained af- ter the German delegates left. The scene was in the hall during} the ceremony had none of the pomp and glitter of the earlier peace con- ference, no display of court and mili- tary uniforms, no theatrigal ceremon- ials. It seemed to gain an impress’ ness, however, by these very circ! stances, Acted Like Victors i The Germans went to the chamber with all the confidence of victors, bore themselves without a trace of nervous- | ness and acted as if they were taking! part in the deliberations on equal terms with their adversaries. At 2 o’clock one copy of the.printed peace treaty was delivered to the con- | ferees. At 2:25 Premier Clemenceau and | Stephen Pinchon, the French foreign | minister, entered for a final survey of | arrangements, and then left to await the arrival of President Wilson. The minor delegates began to come into the room and at 2:55 o’clock, Presi- dent Wilson and their American dele- gates and Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau entered together and moved to their places at the head of the table, Planes Escorted to Sea Scout Machines—Wi New York, May 8.—The firs’ behind the NC-3.
