No. 103 GERMANY TODAY TOLD PEACE TERMS ' IN SOME EIGHTY THOUSAND.WORDS Treaty Handed German Plenipotentiaries 4 At . Memorable Assemblage Attended By Dele- gates of Twenty-seven Nations Versailles, May 7. Germany was today told the terms upon which the Allied and Associated Powers will make peace. The terms are contained in the treaty some eighty thousand words in length which was handed the German plenipoten tiaries at a memorable assemblage here attended by delegates from twenty-seven nations which are parties to the peace pact. LEAGUE COVENANT IN PEACE TREATY Immediately following the preamble of the treaty is the first chapter 61 the Covenant of the League of Nations of four teen principal sections. Section one contains stipulations regarding frontiers, which materially change the map of Europe. Military, naval and air terms are discussed in another section. Still another section is devoted to the question of repara tion and political stipulations on the one hand and outside of it on the other. The treaty, it is noted, -concerns Germany alone, except in so far as it is required that she accept the agreements made by the allies with the other Central Powers. The terms spell the end of Germany as a military power. She is deprived virtually of all her fleet, while her army is cut down to nominal dimensions, and she is sharply restricted along lines along which she might seek to rehabilitate herself 8 a military power.
