Versallles, June 16 (By the A. P.)— | isfied with that growing prosperity and The reply of the allied and associated governments to Germany's counter- proposals to the peace treaty and a revised copy of the peace treaty to- night are in the hands of Count Von Brockdorfl-Rantzau, on his way to Weimar to present to the German na- tional assembly the final word of the victors-in tite war. Few changes have been made in the revised peace treaty. Five days was the allotted period fixed for the Ger- mans to answer yea or nay {o the de- mands of the allies, but two days ad- ditional have be granted on insistent 5.

Herr Simen protested against the short time allotted Germany to make known her intentions. M. Dutasta arrived in Versailles by automobile from Paris at 6.20 o'clock, carrying the momentous documents in two.parcels wrapped in prosaic brown He was received by Colonel , master of ceremonies at Ver- sailles and officers of the allied mis- sions and conducted to the reading room of the Hotel Reservoirs. liere the party was grouped along one side of the room. In front of M. Dutasta was a large marble topped table, upon which the documents were placed in two piles. There was a con- siderable wait before Legation Secre- tary Simon and Baron Von Loersner arrived, escorted by two French offi- cers. The Germans took their places at the other side of the table. At 649 o'clock Herr Simon infor- mally reached across the table and took the documents and handed them to Baron Von Loersner, this actually constituting the formal receipt of the treaty and the ultimatum. A receipt from the Germans for the document was required by M. Dutasta. After the briet conversation between M. Dutadta and Herr Simon, the Ger- mans returned to their apartment in the hotel, Von Loersner carrying the documents under his arm in a_ green portfolio.

There can be no doubt _as to the intentions of the al- lied and @ssociated powers to base the | seitlement of Europe on the ‘principle of freeing. oppressed peoples and re- drawing national boundaries as far as| ossible, in accordance with the will of | the peoples concerned, while giving to| each the facilities to live an inde- vendent national and economic life. “These intentions were made clear not only in President Wilson’s ad- dress to congress on January .8, 1918, but in ‘the principles of settiement ! enunciated in his subsequent ad- dresses,’ which was the agreed basis of the peace. A memorandum on this| point is attached to this letter.” i “Accordingly, the allied and asso- | ciated powers have provided for the reconstitution of Poland as an inde- dent state. “Dynzig bas been constituted as a free city, so that the inhabitants will be aitonomous, and do not come un- der tae Polish rule or form any part | of the Polish state.” t Section Missing. Clause 'V1 ol the treaty says the| allied and associated powers have | ziven careful consideration to the re- quest of the German delegation that Germany be admitted to the league of nations as-one'of - the conditions of peace, but that the allies are unable to accede to this reque: It is added that the allied and asso- clated powers believe if the German | people prove that they iutend to fulfill | the conditions of the peace, and that they have abandoned forever those aggressive and cstranging policies . which caused the war “and have now | become a people with whom it is pos- | sible to live in neighborly zood fellow- ship,” it will be possible at an early | date to complete the league of nations | by the admission of Germany thereto. | “Clause VII refers-to the denunciation by Germany of the blockade of the | allies.. It declares that the blockade ! always has been a legal and recognized method of war. Clause, VIII, says: “In conclusion, the allied and asso- | ciated powers must make it clear that this letter andthe memorandum at- tached constitute their last word.” The clause adds that the treaty cre- | ates the machinery for the peaceful | adjustment ‘of all international prob- lems by discussion .and consent and represents a sincere and deliberate at- | tempt to establish “that reign of law, | based upon the consent of the govern-. ed, and sustained by organized opinion of mankind.” which was the agreed basis of the peace.
