According to the terms of the

These discoveries and other infor

tral and occupied areas.
Avoid (lie- Trcuty
The fact that tho request came be
fore the Germans had executed any
material clause of the treaty although
tho time limit has expired on some
three score of its provisions, is de
clared in French official circles as
luying tho Germans open to suspicion
of attempting to avoid the Versailles
treaty provisions. Particular signi
ficance is attached bv the French to
the discovery of the euns since the
Germans, in a communication to the
allied commission to which their ex
cess of war material should have been
delivered bv March 10, said it made
no difference whether this material
he deliered) or' destroyed, and that
they preferred to destroy
