STERNIBUT JUST PEACE PROMISED CENTRAL STATES UJNDON, Mar. 29 (nrltlsh Wlro loss Borvlce). Efforts which Drltlsb delegates at the peace conferonca are making to procure for iho world the cleanest possible peace will bear fruit In the peace treaty shortly to be. mode public, tbotl'arls correspondent of tho Westminster Gazette . declares. He states on the authority of "a highly placed personage' tho conference docs not mean to violate territorial rights, and that the fears on this point felt by Interested peoples in Europo are quite unfounded. The correspondent says that points of the treaty drawn up by Premier Lloyd Oeorgo and -which will serve as tho basis for discussion havo been doltboratoly framed In a spirit of moderation because It Is felt that the treaty must bo somothtng acceptable and desirable. "Certainly the peace will bo a stem ono for Germany," tho correspondent continues, "but tho greatest care Is being taken that It shall bo Just to Uio oyos of moderate and well-informed Germans. Tho principle of tho solf-dotormlnntlon will be rigor ously kopt In mind with regard to .the allocation of territories."

' PARIS, Friday, Mar. 28 (Havas) In laying her claims before the coun cil of four today France asked first of all that her boundaries, as- fixed by the treaty of Paris May 30, 1814, be restored to her, together, with the Saar 'basin. In the Rhine province on the left bank of the Rhine, it was stipulated, the Germans should have political autonomy but should riot be permitted to establish fortifications, occupy . the territory -with armed forces nor control the railways. Thus the Rhine would serve Franco as a national frontier. On the Alsace Lorraine line, it was demanded that the Rhine should be the natural fron tier of France. t -:' I . The treaty of Paris in 1814 provid ed that France renounce her claims on Belgium and the left bank of the Rhfne and return to the boundaries as they existed in 1782 before the revolution. This compelled France to confine herself to the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, west of the Rhine, those territories having been under French control since 1689. It was erroneously reported from Paris last night that France had demanded her 1914 frontiers, which would have excluded Alsace and Lorraine from her claims before the peace confer ence.
