Following is summary of treaty of peace prepared for use of the pres Longest Treaty Ever Drawn. “Paris, May ?.—The treaty of peace between the allied and ociated powers on the one hand and Germany on the other was led to the German plenipotentiaries at Versailles today. “It is the longest treaty ever drawn. It totals about 80,000 words divided into 15 main sections and represents the combined prorlu\t of over a thousand experts working continually through a series of commissions for three and a half months, since January 18th, the treaty printed in parallel pages of [English and French, which are recognized as having equal validity. It does not deal with questions affecting Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey except in so far as binding Germany to accept any agreement rcached with those former allies Subjects in Each Section. “Following the preamble and disposition of powers comes the covenant of the league of nations as the first section of the treaty. The frontier of Germany in Europe as defined in the second section: FEuropean political classes given in the third: and extra-European political classes in the fourth. Next are the military, naval, and air terms as the fifth section, followed by a section on prisoners of war and military graves and a seventh on responsibilities. Reéparations, financial terms, and economic terms are covered in sections eight to ten. Then comes the aero nautic section, ports, waterways and railways section, the labor covenant, the section on guarantees and the final clauses. Alsace-Lorraine Is Restored.
