Few changes have been made in the revised peace treaty. The original con tentions of the allied and associated powers have virtually been maintain ed intact. ‘ Five days was the allotted period originally fixed .for the Germans to an swer yes or no to the demands of the allies. But two days additional have been granted because of the insistence of the German delegation that not suf ficient time had been allowed for proper consideration of the revised terms. This will extend the time limi tation to Monday, June 23. If Germany’s reply is yes the treaty will be immediately signed; if Ger many decines to accede to the demands, the armistice will be automatic terminated and the allied armed Veem Terms Delivered.

The principles of the original condi-. tions have been vigorously upheld as establishing a peace of justice, but cer- .Uln modifloatlona la detail and many. explanations of the effect or execution are made.

C., June 18 (Special) — At the meeting of City Council held yesterday evening a second election was ordered on the ratification of a contract with the Reedy R^ver Power Company tor the furnishing of electric current to the city. The election is to be held July 22nd. The only differ ence between the contract to be voted on and the contract which the citizens turned down in ^larch is as to dura tion. ' Under the first contract the duration was to b^ ten years, but un der the second the contract is for five years.' 'the decision to place the matter before the people again was reached following a meeting of citizens in the court house shortly after the first election in which a reso lution was adopted calling upon the council to order a new election with the revised terms. A committee from the Chamber of Commerce appeared before the coun cil to request a definite rate on elec tricity for cooking purposes. Mayor Babb stated in the meeting that the council was not in a position to make a permanently low rate at this time on account of the uncertainty as to the cost of power in the future, no con-, tract or other arrangement having been made so far for electric current. He said that the rate proposed for electric cooking last year was based on the cost of power at that time and with the understanding, that its per- WINS rf[GH HONOR.

With the revised treaty, ytmaining interlineations in redf'^nk, where changes hadb|Mff {made in it, was a covqjiM-^lwWWrritten by Premier ^^Aerilenceau, president of the peace conference. It had been impossible to reprint the treaty in time for its presentation today. The covering note severely casti gates Germany for protesting against the treaty on the ground that the treaty conflicts with the terms of the armis tice. M. Clemenceau says Germany fails to understand the position she occupies today in the estimation of the world for being responsible for a war which was “the greatest crime against humanity and the freedom of the people that any nation, calling it self civilized, has ever consciously committed.” Without ostentation, Paul Dutasta, general secretary of the peace confer ence, at 6:49 o’clock this evening plac ed the revised draft of the treaty and the note in the hands of German Lega tion^ Secretary Simon and Baron vdn Loersner with whom M. Dutasta held a donversation lasting for several minutes, explaining the nature of the instrument and the length of time alloted for the Germans to reply. Hbrr Simon protested against the short time given 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 paper. He was received by Colonel Henry Master of ceremonies at Ver sailles, and officers of the allied mis sions, and conducted to the reading- room of the Hotel Reservoirs. Here the party was grouped along one side of the room. In front of M. (Dutasta was a large marble-topped ta ble, upon which the documents were placed in two piles. There was a con siderable wait before the legation sec retary and Baron von Loersner ar rived, escorted by two French officers. The Germans took their place at the other side of the table. At 6:49 o’clock Herr Simon infor mally reached across the table and took the documents and handed them to Baron von Doersner, this actually constituting the formal receipt of the treaty and the ultimatum. A receipt from the Germans for the documents was required by Mr. Dutasta. After the brief conversation between M. Dutasta and Herr Simon, the Ger- ] mans returned to their apartment tn the hotel, Von Loersner carrying the documents under his arms in a green portfolio. Later Count von Brock dorff-Rantzau boarded a train for Weimer, taking the papers with him. The Intercourse between the two groups was rather confused. No pro visions for an interpreter had been made. Secretary Dutasta spoke in French, and Herr Simon replied In German. Neither of the principals ap parently was aware of Just what the other said. So it seemed fortunate that the details as to the period allowed and the nature of the reply expected were indicated clearly in the covering letter. The Germans plainly intimated their Intention to demand an extension of time, On receiving the treaty, Herr Simon said: "I must observe, on befcalf of my government that the time allowed In of the proposed canal commission.

TJhis having so far proved Im possible, the council was unable to al low that rate. After this statement and other minor discussions the mat ter was indefinitely postponed by a resolution to rescind the rate made last year. life Was a Misery Mrs. F. M.
