At the close SEVEN DAYS: GRACE ' f-V GIVEN' TO GERMANY Time in which Peace Treaty May be Signed Set Forward to May 29. The Associated Press summary this morning says: A period of 7 days grace has been extended to Germany by the repre sentatives of the allied and associat ed government in which the German peace delegates may conclude their study of the peace treaty and formu late such replies to the various claus es as they desire- The extension of time, which orig inally was to have expired at noon Thursday, was set forward to Thurs day, May 29, at the request of the Germans, who advanced the plea that more time was required in order that they might formulate argument of much importance. Almost simultaneously with tne re quest for more time comes from Ber lin a statement from the German cab inet that Germany is unwilling to sign the peace treaty. The document is a treiteratitfn, although in stronger words, of the views of the foremost statesmen in Germany that the seal ing of the compact would spell the ruin of the former empire.
