The confident statement of Premier Lloyd George that the peace treaty will be concluded by Faster is supported by predictions repeatedly made by 'ess prominent members of the Peace Con fcremo and dispelled much of tne hope lessness and uncertainty In which manv important problems of the con feieiice seemed to have been en shrouded.

The council of four has reached an agreement on the principles of the In demnities nnd reparations to be- paid bv Germany nnd examination of the detnils will begin Immediately. The newspapers sny it is not believed there will be any disagreement as to details, and it is indi'ated the text of the financial terms will be finished duiing the week. The He ho de Paris snys that com promises wero effected on all debatable points regarding the sum to be pnid nt once by Germany and the payments In the future. Against the opposition of tho French Government, It was agreed, the paper sajs, to distribute the future payments over a term of thirty jears. The pnjments for the next few .veins were fixed. The Journal says there are indica tions that the rights of Franco nnd Belgium to prior consideration in the parents bv German have been recognied. The first German payment, it sajs. will be 25.000,000,000 francs, (Sfi.OOO.OOO.OOO) of which fi.OOO.OOO. 000 frnncs will go to pav for raw ma terials to insure the resumption of Ger man economic life.

Final agree ment on the Rhine and Saar valley questions will be reached before the end of the week, it is added. The newspapers express satisfaction editorially over tho. progress made on I the question ot reparation ami inucm-i nity. It is pointed out that each day of delay In teaching a final agreement adds to the losses of France. The favorable solution of the Danzig ques tion Is commented upon In compliment ary terms. The moral and political advantages of the ngrccmept are em phasized by the papers. All Paris seems inbucd with the idea that Easter will find the con ference ended, either successfully or un successfully, and many newspapers and leaders who have been .doubtful about the successful outcome nrc apparently less gloomy about the prospect.
