Few changes have been made in the
revised peace treaty. The original con

powers have virtually been maintain

Five days was the allotted period
originally fixed .for the Germans to an

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

If Germany’s reply is yes the treaty

Second Election
yn Power Contract
Same Terms as Contract Toted Down
in March with Exception of Length
of Contract. ,
Laurens, S. 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-

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
