RESENTED TO GERRIAN DELEGATES
. A despatchhim. 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.

to extradite the former Emperor and
Germany being responsible for deliver-
ing the latter. 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-

THE RIGHT WAY
The secret of SUCCESS in shopping lies in being able to LOOK at the garment before you pay for it.
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.

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.

A despatch from London says: -
The Captain of a German submarine

A despatch from Berlin says: -The
President of the Imperial Ministry
hits sent the following telegram to the
Governments of the free States: •
"In deep distress and weighed down
by cares, the German people have
waited through the months of the
armistice for the peace conditions,
Their publication has brought the bit-
terest disappointmout and unspeala
able grief to the entire people. A
public expression ought to be given
these feelings by all Germans. The
Imperial Government requests that
the free States have public amuse-
ments suspended for a week and al-
low in the theatres only such produc-
tions as correspond to the seriousness
of these grevious days."
