ITALY HOLDS PEACE BACK f r-tt"j'1 from Tirmt Pr to the Frenoh than the league of na tions afford. But none of these pro-I'o-tals had been accepted up to 48 fcours a?o. Prealdeata View Stated. President Wilson's contention has If en that the league was a sufficient guarantee, in line v ;th his speech be fore a plenary session of the confer ence, when he e d "that Is a definite guarantee of peace; it in definite guar antee by the world against aggression; u a definite guarantee against the thing which ha Juki brought civiliza tion to the verge of ruin." The final pUns for receiving the Ger man flelfgafs at Versailles and for de livering the treaty provide for complete ecrecy, although an off icla. communi cation wtll be issued after the treaty ha actually been delivered announc ing this fact. Kxcept for this every thing will be behind rigidly guarded iloors. with military forces occupying nil the surrounding precincts. Accord ing to the terms Marshal Foch is said to have received from the secretariat ;rener.tl of the conference, the German plen:potentianes are to be treated as enemies until the treaty Is signed, and anyone communicating with them will he subjected to prosecution before a court-martial on the charge of dealing with the enemy. Haas Have large Knrt. The purpose of this la said to be to prevent Versailles from being used as a base for widespread enemy propa ganda, but the rigors of this surveil lance will - probably wear off after the first few day. The GeTman delegation at Spa has a large military escort, with soldiers in helmets and carrying arms, but it is understood that the delegates and those accompanying them will not wear uniforms while at Versailles, so as to avoid unnecessary friction. k;- . .
