lied and associated powers
will make peace with her.
These terms were contained

Document Notable
I bis notable document, on
which the leading statesmen of
the various nations, together
with a swarm of experts from
the principal countries involved,
have been working since the
convening of the I'eace Confer
ence on January 18, is introduc
ed bv an extensive preamble,
embodying the assertion of au
thority upon which the treaty is
based.
Immediately following is the first
chapter, the Covenant oi the l.eague
of Nations, I lie !".\t of which already
has been printed, of the fourteen
principal sections, one contains stip
ulations with regard to frontiers
which materially change the map
of Europe. Military, naval and air
terms sire dealt with in another sec
tion. while still another is devoted
to the subject of reparations. Po
litical stipulations for Europe, on
the one hand, and outside of it, on
the other, are dealt with in separate
divisions of the document.
Not in German
The treaty, it is noted, has to do ,
With Germany alone, except insofar i
i• it is required that she accept |
agreements made by the Allies with
the other central powers.
The document, long as it is, is [
shorter than was indicated by sonto j
of the forecasts, which estimated itß |
length tit 100,000 words.
The treaty Is not printed in Ger- j
man. The text is in French and |
English. on opposite pages.
To Kml linn Militarism
The terms of the treaty spell the j
end of Germany as a military power. ]
She is deprived of virtually all her
fleet, her army is cut down to nomin
al dimensions, and she is sharply
restricted along lines through which
she might seek to work militarily to
rehabilitate herself. Economically,
also, ttie future course of Germany
is hedged about with stipulations
. intended to insure iter ability to pay
J0 the indemnity demanded by the Al
lies, but to prevent her from exploit
ing her old-time resources as a

Summary of Treaty
Following is summary of Treaty of Peace prepared for use of
the press:
Paris, May 7.—The Treaty of Peace between the twenty-seven
allied and associated powers on the one hand and Germany on
the other was handed to the German plenipotentiaries at Versailles
ito-day.
80,000 Words in Pact
It is the longest treaty ever drawn. It totals about 80.000 words,
j divided into fifteen main sections, and represents the combined
product of over a thousand experts working continually through
a series of commissions for the three and a half months since
January 18. 'I he treaty is printed in parallel pages of English
i and trench, which are recognized as having equal validity. It
does not deal with questions affecting Austria. Bulgaria and Tur
key except insofar as binding Germany to accept any agreement
reached with those former allies.
League Creed at Front
hollowing the preamble and deposition of powers comes the
| (Covenant of the League of Nations as the first section of the
treaty. The frontiers of Germany in Europe as defined in the sec
ond section; European 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,
1 followed by a section on prisoners of war and military graves
land a seventh on responsibilities. Reparations, financial terms,
and economic terms are covered in sections eight to ten. Then
; comes the aeronautic section, ports, waterways and railways sec
tion. the labor covenant, the section on guarantees, and the final
j clauses.
! Germany by the terms of the treaty restores Alsace-Lorraine
to France, accepts the internationalization of the Saar basin teni
i porarily and of Danzig permanently, agrees to territorial changes
j towards Belgium and Denmark and in East Prussia, cedes most of
I Upper .Silesia to Poland and renounces all territorial and political
rights outside Europe, as to her own or her allies' territories, and
] especially to Morocco, Egypt. Siatn, Liberia and Shantung. She
also recognizes the total independence of German-Austria,
J Czecho-Slovakia and Poland.
Army Reduced to 100,000
lier army is reduced to a hundred thousand men including of
j ficers; conscription within her territories is abolished; all forts
I fifty kilometers east of the Rhine razed, and all importation, ex
; portation and nearly all production of war material stopped. Al
lied occupation of parts of Germany will continue till reparation
is made, but will be reduced at the "end of each of three five-vcar
periods if Germany is fulfilling her obligations.
Violation Will Be Act of War
, Any violation by Germany of the conditions as to the zone
fifty-kilometers east of the Rhine will be regarded as an act of
i war - i
l Has But Small Navy
The German navy is reduced to six battleships, six light cruis
| ers. and twelve torpedoboats, without submarines, and a person
| nel of not over fifteen thousand. All other vessels must be sur
; rendered or destroyed. Germany is forbidden to build forts con
| trolling the Baltic, must demolish Heligoland, open the Kiel canal
to all nations, and surrender her fourteen submarine cables. She
ma} have no military or naval air forces except one hundred un
| armed seaplanes until October first to detect mines, and may
manufacture aviation material for six months.
Gets Full Responsibility
Germany accepts full responsibility for all damages caused to
allied and associated governments and nationals, agrees specifical
ly to reimbuse all civilian damages beginning with an initial pay
ment of twenty billion marks subsequent payments to be secured
by bonds to be issued at the discretion of the reparation commis
sion. Germany is to pay shipping damage on a ton-for-ton basis
by cession of a large part of her merchant, coasting and river fleets
and by new construction; and to devote her economic resources
to the rebuilding of the devastated regions.
She agrees to return to the Nineteen Fourteen most-favored-na
tion tariffs, without discrimination of sort; to allow allied and as
sociated nationals freedom of transit through her territories, and
to accept highly detailed provisions as to pre-war debts, unfair
competition, internationalization of roads and rivers, and other
economic and financial clauses.
She also agrees to the trial of the ex-kaiser by an international
high court for a supreme offense against international morality,
and of other nationals for violation of the laws and customs of
war, Holland to be asked to extradite the former and Germany
being responsible for delivering the latter.
1 he League of Nations is accepted by the allied and associated
powers as operative and by Germany in principle but without
membership. Sijnilarly an international labor body is brought
into being with a permanent office and an annual convention. A
