Berlin, April 13. The Germans are
becoming more and more imbued with
the idea that although they have lost
tli." war they ate winning in the peace
conference.
This ri largely a development of ttse

here is the natiiial result of tho deluy!
in Paris and tho continuous stream of:
reports of allied differences which aro!

the t ioniums up tu the Idea they ougiit

Paris, April 15. The peace program was author
itatively outlined to the United Press today as follows:
The treaty will be handed to the Germans April 25
If the Germans have, plenary powers, it will be sign
ed almost immediately; otherwise it will first be submitted
to the German government at Weimar. .
Separate treaties will be presented Austria, Turkey
and Bulgaria within a few days after the Germans ar
rive at Versailles." "
As soon as all treaties are signed, a period of twenty
to thirty days will be permitted for ratification by the al
lied governments.
When two thirds of the governments have ratified
the treaties they become effective.
. President Wilson is expected to call a special session
of congress for this purpose not later than June 1.
The "littlo five" (foreign mini:
tors' council) met today to discuss the
mechanical details of the final peace
sessions. . Under present plnivs, a ple
nary session probably will be held next
week in which the new covenant of
the league of nations will bo present
ed, as well as the final reports of oth
er commissions.
No definite decision has been reach
ed regarding tho work after tho Ger
man delegates arrive, but it is under
stood a special committee, composed
of the "big four" will deal with them
The treaty will be gone over Hiid the
various points explained. The Ger
mans are then expected to return to
Weimar and submit -the treaty to their
government. This plan naturally will
lie, aliened if the German delegates
have plenary powers, as they will then
he able to sign the treaty without leav
ing Versailles;
Treaty 75,000 Words Long
The cleaning up of the important
questions involved in the treaty eanne
like a whirlwind and although some
details are still outstanding they can
be speedily whipped into shape. The
Adriatic question, under consiilei.tf ion
by the "big four" today, will not slow
up the treaty with Germany. This and
other problems can coi.tinue under do
bale while the negotiations arc under
wnv with the Germans.
the treaty to be handed to the Ger
mans April 25 will be at least 75,000
words long, according to the best esti
mates. It prolmblv will consist of n
ireneral introduction, in which all the
principles will be set forth and will
he followed bv specific protocols cov
ering separate divisions. Among theso
pritoocls will be the league of nations
covenant, to which the Germans wili
subscribe although they will not bo
admitted to membership in the league
until they are voted in under the cov
enant provi-sion for acceptance of new
members.
Military Terms Stand
In addition to the military and nav
al terms, which have already been out
lined, the treaty will cover ail other
ground completely.
(Exclusive United Pres d.sparfhes
of Atarch 22 stated ,rr nany would be
allowed an army of 100,000 men, a na
vy of six battleships, six light cruis
ers and 24 destroyers and torpedo boats
rnd no military air force. Also that

The military and naval terms wili
contain approximately 12,001 words,
reparations the same, waterways an'i
responibilities si 'out five thousand

at least 5000 words, will giv Alsace

Tho waterways provisions includo
internationalization of the Rhino, KIIm

bo left in Germany's possession, but
will be open to passage of all ships in
peace time and its torts will be dis
mantled. As outlined to the United Press yes
terday, the reparations section of the
treaty probably will be based on a pro
visional minimum indemnity of 25,
000,1)00,000. The permanent reparations
committee will be expected to get as
much more a Germany's financial and
economic condition permits, after the
initial installment of $5,uoO,0HO,0U0,
which will be paid within to years.
The general belief is that France will
get about 55 per cent of the totul
amount of indemnities.
While the responsibilities committee
has agreed on indictment and trial of

in which their crimes were committed,
the question of whether the former
