PAULS. June 19. MW the Asso ciated Press.) The alterations and amendments incorporated bv Hie council of four in the revised treaty make it a somewhat longer document than the draft originallv submitted to the Germans and published in the I'nited States. It now comprises 21 pages, five more thnn the original. and even this was effected bv closer paging. At various points the draft ing committee fought to ndhere as far as possible to the original num bering of. the articles and contrived to make tin for insertyjns or omis sions bv combining or splitting arti cles. ' As al first arranged, the new m- tniment still . contains the original 14 parts and 440 articles. The article assuring Silesmn coal and minerals to German industry now reads: "Poland undertakes to per mit for a period of 15 vears the ex portation to Germany of the products of mines in unv part ot diner Sil es!a transferred to Poland, in ac cordance with the present treaty without export duties or restrictions, and permit the Germans to purchase these product) on the same terms as the roles, . J Alves Support Danzig :In the revised draft "the princi pal allied and associated powers" undertake to establish Danzig as a free city. This language, in which j the responsibility of the five great! powers for the creation of the new I citv and state is definitely assumed, is substituted for the originnl phrase ology declaring merely that "Dan zig is established as a free citv." The new article, which replaces the original provision, disarmament of Germanv providing for reduction to specified point within two montns now reads in the English version : '"Up to the time at which Germany is admitted ns a member of the League of Nations, the German nrniv shall not nossess armament greater than that fixed table submitted in this treaty." and contiues: (k'rman Army Kegulated "Germanv agrees that after she has become a member ofthe league, the armaments fixed bv the table shall remain in force until modi tied bv the council of tho league. Furthermore. herebv ngrees strictlv lo observe the dce'sions of the council in this re spect. Important changes are revealed by n comparison of the old and new drafts relative to the new Polish fron tiers nnd the Silesinn nlebcseite. The frontier changes correspond gener ally with those outlined in recent dis patches, but bring the Polish frontier nenrer to Brcslau on the east than was at first contemplated, and give Poland a new section of the Prus siim province of Pomerania in ex- ehnngc for the const strip of the same province returned to Germnnv. al though the council of four planned for n while to make all Pomerania German on historic grounds. Some of the changes in the treaty can be indicated onlv bv reference maps of the lurgest scnlo.
