The preliminary penco treaty will require Germnny to make an Immediate Indemnity payment on account of $5,000,000,-000 $5,000,000,-000 In cash and raw material, according accord-ing lo tho Echo do Paris. Tho treaty It declares will not leave uncertain tho total amount which Germany is to pay, as thnt amount will be written writ-ten Into tho document. President Wilson met with tho premiers pre-miers of Grent Brltnln, Franco nnd Italy Tuesday for tho first tlmo since ho beenmo 111. Th discussion of responsibility re-sponsibility for the wnr and tho disposition dis-position of tho Snrro valley wore tho principal topics discussed.

The return of President WIIboii to the council of four nnd Uie progress mado on various questions has removed re-moved much of the tonslon which existed ex-isted In the conference circles nnd has led to renewed confidence In an early and satisfactory conclusion. The reparation problem now Is considered definitely settled and only minor details concerning the functions func-tions of the commission to allot the annual installments from Germany remain to be arranged. The 1'ollsh question, Including the status of Danzig Is also nearlng settlement on the basis of Internationalization of the city.

If wo claim for "our German friends" a modest share of tho credit which President Wilson has hitherto monopolized, his spirit of lmpnitinl Justice- will no doubt recognize tho fairness of this Blight redistribution of l'torary and dlplomntlo honors. Hut, after nil, tho main share ot tho praise, us tho Germans would willingly willing-ly allow, remains with tho President. Tho Germans laid down tho terms. But they could not Imvo enforced them. For that they had to look to President Wilson. What should havo remained r.n aspiration tho President changed Into an achievement.
