week. Four material matters in the treaty have been virtually settled. They are: 1. Germany is guaranteed coal from upper Silesia and relish territory. 2. Germany will be furnished with complete records of the league of nations and if she lives up to the treniy terms she may actually be admitted to the league of na- . tions at the forthromir g meeting in Washington in October. 3. Military arrangfrntnts are, modified whereby the army may be abolished if the leader desire itt 4. (Jermany is given representation on the economic commission, but this commission will receive ironclad orders to fix . definitely the size and payment terms of indemnity not later than October. , OTBSB CHANGES POSSIBLE. It is understood that even further matt-rial i hnncps have been ordered and that several commissions are at work to make vague clauses of the treaty workable. While it is admitted t Via t the changes were designed to meet the German point of of view and insure signing, it is emphatictally declared that there has been no modification of a s-mfrle principle. "Whin the amended treaty is submitted to the 'iermans it is possible that Premier Lloyd George will continue to insist upon further modifications alon? certain lines. I'remier Clemenceau is expected to put forth Arm opposition. President Wilson it la understood. Is trying: to secure unanimity. Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau. who has just returned to Versailles, is insisting that he will not sign. Secret advices from Berlin, however. stated thil the present German government is likely to lose its leading member, who will be replaced by Independent Socialists. Then the envoys will be directed at once to affi their signatures, as the German Independent Socialists havyj been in favor of acceptance of the treaty all along. President Wilson will remain until the pact is signed if the Germans agree to do so; it they refuse he will leave immediately for the United States.

NICARAGUA MUST NOT BE INVADED (INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE) WASHINGTON, June 9. America will see to it that Nicaragua is not invaded. This was made plain by State Department officials today, following the

receipt from the Nicaraguan legation

of an appeal to the United States for material protection against an antici

pated invasion front Costa Rica. Offi

cials were not yet convinced, however,

that there is an actual danger of such

an invasion and were waiting for re

ports of an investigation of the situation. If such an investigation snowed that Nicaragua was in real danger sorrre

action by this government would be taken. It was pointed out. There are American battleships in ail Nicaragua ports at present. it was

learned, but these put in before there

was any evidence of decidedly strained relations between that country and Costa Rica.
