BERLIN GIVEN 7 DAYS TO SIGN

Paris, May 21.—The German peace delegation has been granted an extension of seven days, or until May 29, in which to reply in full to the peace terms, according to an official announcement. The original time limit given the Germans expires at 1 p. m. tomorrow. Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the German delegation, yesterday sent Premier Clemencau a note saying that the Germans were preparing a statement on the draft of the treaty. As experts had to be consulted, the count’s note continued, it will be impossible to get through within the time remaining under the original stipulations. He, therefore, suggested a period of grace be granted.
