PARIS, May 30.—A speedy reply
will be returned to the counter peace
nroposals presented by the Germans
yesterday, it was stated in official eir
cies today. All of the economic ex
perts of the Allied and associated
powers are holding continuous meet
ings for the preparation of memo
rarda bearing on the German conten-'
tions. |
When this data is completed and
approved, it will be handed to Count
V}l_' Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the
Geérman peace delegation, with the
demand that the Aliled terms be ac
cepted within 48 hours. i
In the meantime every weapon at
the command of the Allied and usan‘
cieted Governments is in readiness |
for immediate action in the event the
Germans refuse to sign. ‘
The armies on the Rhine are ready
to move at a moment's notice, and
they will be supported with artillery
arc plentifully equipped with ammu
nition i
Aviators probably will resume the
bombardment of German cities, and an |
active blockade will he put into force |
to prevent a single ounce of food
stuffs from reaching Germany from |
the outside, |
(ferman officials are working
mainly for two things: w
Immediate « admission into the
league of nations and concessions
wlich will give them an interest in

time, however, the Germans ;u-u-}o.-k-l

In carrying out this partial re

ment available and without undue
delay. ‘

expect to raise enough money to pay
off the $9.000 shortage in the fund
which existed Friday.
The biggest part of the job was left
