It is evident the impression is prevailing in Paris that the Allied reply
to the German counter proposals will refuse Germany’s request for im-
portant alterations in the peace terms, givng them five days to decide
action. Final action is expected about June 18. While the Council of
Four probably will explain the provisions and grant minor concessions,
it appears there will be no changes that will materially lighten the bur-
den placed on Germany. Coblenz dispatches report that the Germans
are withdrawing all material from the territories east of the Allied
bridgeheads, and says armed German forces have retired at a consider-
able distance east of the Rhine.
The disposition on the part of the civilian population to be prepared
for an allied advance in Europe again has assumed big proportions and
causes much concern in Peace Conference circles. j •• • .
The success of the Hungarian soviet army against the Czecho-
slovaks, military reverses of the Kolchak forces in Southeastern Russia
«
and the danger of Austrians passing under Bolshevik control, constitute
a serious situation.
