It iHBUcd an official note HayinKt "The press has published certain information on the peace negotiations, especially the financial negotiations, which docs not aurco with the facts, but is entire ly erroneous." The note was acknowledged by the Faris Temps with this pointed ro mark: "The above contradiction con stitutes the sole official information BUppticd to the French presa with re gard to the important deliberations of tho heads erf. the allied tfovcrnmepts."
