Ottawa says: - 'The following summary of the Peace Treaty draft has been reeeived; May 7. --The Treaty of Peace between the twenty-seven Allied and Associated Powers on the one hand and Germany on the other, has been handed to the German plenipoten- theries at Versaillee, It fe the longest treaty ever drawn. It totals about 80,000 words divided into fifteen main sections, and represeuts 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, The treaty is printed in parallel pages of Englsh and French which are. recog- nized as having equal validity. It does not deal with questions affecting Aus- tria, Bulgaria, and Turkey, except in so far as binding Germany to accept any agreement reached with those former allies. Germany by the terms of the treaty restores Alsace-Lorraine to France, accepts the internationalization of the Saar Basin temporarily and of Danzig Permanently, agrees to territorial changes towards Belgium, and Den. mark in East Prussia, cedes most of Upper Silesia to Poland, and re- nounces all territorial and political rights outside Europe, as to her own or her allies' territories, and especial- ly to Morocco, Egypt, Siam, Liberia, and Shantung. She also recognizes the total independence of German -Aus- tria, Czecho-Slovakia, and Poland. Her army is reduced to one hundred thousand men, including officers, con- scription within her territories is abolished; all forts fifty kilometres east of the Rhine razed; and all im- portations, exportations and nearly all production of war materiels stopped. Allied occupation of parts of Germany will continue till reparation is neeele, but will be redueed at the end of ceeh of three-year periods if Germany is fulfilling her obligations. Any viola- tion by Germany of the conditions as to the zone fifty lileoraetres east of the Reine will be regarded cc an act of war.

The League of Nations is accepted by the Allied and Associ- ated Power's as operative and by Ger- many in principle, but without mem- bership, Similarly an international labor body is brought into being with a permanent office and annual conven- tion. Agreat number of international bodies of different kinds and for dif- ferent purposes are created, seine un- der the League of Nations and some to execute the Peace Treaty. Among the former is the commission to. gov- ern the Saar Basin till a plebiscite is held fifteen. years hence, the high com- mission to Danzig, which is created into a free city under the League, and various commissions for plebiscites in Malmondy, Schleswig, and East Prus- sia. Among those to carry out the Peace Treaty are the repatriations, military, naval, air, financial, and economic commissions; the Interna- tional High Court and military tribun- als to fix responsibilities, and a series of bodies for the control of interna- tional rivers. Certain problems are left for solution between the Allied. and Associated Powers, notably de- tails of the disposition of the German fleet and; cables, the former German colonies, and the values paid in sepa- ratien. Certain other problems such as the laws of the air and the opium, arinS, and liquor traffic are either agreed to in. detail or set for early in- ternational action. Germany accepts full responsibility for all damages caused to Allied and Associated Governments and nation- als, agrees specifically to reimburse all civilian damages, beginning with an initial payment of 20,000,000.000 marks, subsequent payments to be se- cured 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 ces- sion of a large part of her merchant, ; coasting and river fleets, and the new construction, and to devote her ocono- • otic resources to the rebuilding of the devastated regions. Germany cedes to France Alsace- Lorraine, 5.600 square Innen and to Belgium two small districts between • Luxemburg and Milt:nun totalling 080 'quare miles. She also cedes to Po- land the s,euth-eastern tip of Silesia beyond and including. °prattle most of i'00,001. and West Praia, 27,6ed square miles.

You not only LOOK at it. You try it .on. You have the chance to try on several, If one does nonsuit, another WILL. If alterations are needed, the fitting can be done on the spot. There MAY be other ways to shop. But this is the only RIGHT way. This is the "trade -at-home" way. And it brings not only SUCCESS to you, but adds prosperity to your town as well. Every purchase you make in this way creates a permanent value in. your community, apart from the value and pleasure YOU get out of it. And you become a community builder. Then why shop any other way? Keep this picture in mind and you will not fail in your duty to yourself and your town. - - Markets of the World 4FNS. SEIZE POSflIONS Nottil-WesternFrontier Violated by Troop' Of 'New4:A4aPin.,. A despatch ;rater London says: - Afghan tribesmen have crossed the Afghan border with the esSistenco of; Afghan regular troops, andi have occupied certain positions on the In- dian side of the border, according to a dnspatch from the Indian Foreign °Mee. Military precautions have been taken by the nritish, who have addtessed a..vigorona mite to the Amir. It, has been reported for some time that the new Amir had adopted an unfriendly attitude toward the Brit- ish, and contemplated a violation. of the northwest frontier anti' Khyber Pass, the principal northern pass , into that, country from India. No large number of tribesmen are concerned, but they, have occupied seine heights of importance com- manding two roads leading across the frontier. A later despatch says:-Reuter's learns that General Barrett has com- menced operations and that there are already indications that the advance I of the British mobile columns in the neighborhood of the Indian frontier is having a reassuring effect. The latest , news from Kabul is dated April 30,1 'when some escorts of the Britiel,. agent, who is an Indian, left the capi- tal. Kabul was than the scene of great excitement, and there were consider- able movements of troops in the sur- rounding country. It was, however, clearly understood that there was to be flotilla in the nature of a general advance, in the absence of direct or- ders from the Amir. It is understood that there is a band of four hundred Afghans with a couple of guns at one fruitier position occupied and a some- what larger force at another point.
