ALLIED DELEGATES
ENDORSE TREATY.
NO OBJECTIONS MADE
Agreement Is to Ih; Written In French
and EnKlinh, but German Lan
Kuuko Will Be Ignored by
Kramers of Treaty.
By Carl D. Grout
PARIS, April 17. The Germans
may be required to sign the peace
treaty by May 15, it was learned to
day on good authority. There is
still some difference of opinion
among the delegates regarding the
advisability ot setting a time limit,
but the majority believe that the
period between April 25, when the
treaty will be submitted to the Ger
mans, and May 15 will be sufficient
for the government to debate all
propositions contained in the peace
pact and to ratify them. -'
The Invitation to the German dele
gates to attend the conference waa
forwarded when only five of the
great powers had signed the text ot
the agreement. Eighteen representa
tives ot smaller belligerents were
summoned yesterday. Premier Clem-'
enceau read the document and asked
for their approval. No objection was
made, and additional signatures were
affixed.
The treaty will probably be worded
in both French and English, but not
in German. An agreement to sup
ply Russia with food . was reached
by the allies late yesterday, and Is
expected to be put into effect Imme
diately in spite of the opposition of
anti-Bolshevik delegates In Paris,
who " contend that this virtually
amounts to a recognition ot the
soviet government. ' According to
unofficial Information, the agree
ment stipulates that the Bolshevik!
must cease hostilities on all fronts.
PIGEON RETURNS
FROM LONG TRD?
Memories of Mate in Forest Service
Dovecote Induced Carrier to Re
trace Flight, Believes Sproat.
After a round trip to Portland,
the carrier pigeon turned loose on a
trial flight by William Sproat, of the
Deschutes National Forest service,
has returned to Bend. At all events
only a trip of that length, according
to Mr. Sproat, can explain the bird's
protracted absence.
The pigeon was taken out from
Bend several miles Tuesday after
noon, with the object ot ascertain
ing the time of Its return flight to
this city. It failed to appear, how
ever, and was believed to have wing
ed Us way to Its former home in Port
land. Approximately 20 hours after
the carrier was released, Mr. Sproat
found that It had returned to the
torest service dovecote in this city.
He believes that memories of the
mate left behind in Bend caused the
homer to retrace Us flight from the
rose city.
