Council Takes Recess.

Paris, May 31-The council of four
did not meet.
Peace making activities were sus-
pended pending the translation of the
German proposals and the study of the
Austrian peace terms by the delegates
representing the smaller states.
The German counter proposals were
presented Thursday.
June Is is the earliest possible date
on which the German treaty can be
signed if no distractions are encount-
cred.
June 20 is the more probable date
for its signature, and the departure
of President Wilson for the United
States, according to a member of the
American peace delegation, who dis
cussed the situation with the CORES
pondent
The German counter proposals have
been received with the greatest inter-
est by the members of the peace con-
ference, especially the claims for I'M
mediate membership in the league of
nations, for plebscite to decide the
disposition of Silesia and for the fix
ing of a definite sum for reparations.
With the exception of France, all
the major powers would undoubtedly
agree to the immediate admission of
Germany to the league of nations, but
France is unalterably opposed, and in
consequence there is no possibility of
this being done.
The sum of $25,O0O,O 100000, fixed by
the Germans for reparations, cores
ponds exactly with the amount which
several American and British confer
ence financial advisers had agreed the
Germans could reasonably be expected
to pay, and it is not impossible that
some changes will be granted in the
financial terms Of the treaty.
The translation of the German
counter proposals is going on so slow
Iy that it seems improbable the coun-
ell of four will be able to have the
complete English and French texts
Cor consideration until today.

LAUNCH FIVE SHIPS
IN 48 MINUTES
Hog Island Breaks Shi hipbuiId-
ing Records.

Philadelphia, May 31.-Forty eight
| minutes sutficed to accomplish the
greatest launching in the history of
shipbuilding, when five 7SO0-ton steel
cargo steamers went off the ways at
I Hog Island.
The schedule of an hour and twenty
minutes arranged by the shipyard Of
ficials was virtually cut in half.
Beginning at 1.3S p. NJ, a vessel
took the water every twelve minutes,
ION an average. Fifty thousand per-
sons witnessed the event from shore
and from various river craft.
Is The launchings started one minute
after Iosephus Daniels, secretary of
the navy, completed the Grafton of the
day, in which he predicted the Della
ware would soon pass the Clyde and
the Tyne as shipbuilding center.
0 "Never again." he asserted, twill
5the United States be guilty of the folly
sof trusting its foreign commerce to
the ships of other nations"
1 Rebirth of the United States as a
sea-faring nation, he said, was one Of
the compensations for the travail of
the war.
The following ships were launched:
Maiden Creek launched from way
43, division 6. Sponsor, Miss r. Err
ma Reiser, of Reading, Pa.
Nedmac launched from way 33, di-
svision T. Sponsor, Mrs. Mary Baird

VILLA PR0CLAIMS
ANGELES PRESIDENT
Move Regarded as Ref|eCting
Serious Situation.

Washington, May 31.-Villa forces
have proclaimed General Felice Ange-
les provisional president of Mexico
and Villa himself secretary of war;
This move, coming at the climax OF
military operations considered by the
Carranza government SO serious that
it has asked the United States for
permission to move troops through
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, is
regarded as rejecting situation more
serious in Mexico than any since the
triumph of Carranza forces over Villa
three years ago.
Reports from the border that Mexi-
can federal troops were mobilizing at
Epalme, Sonora, for shipment in bond
through Arizona to Juarez gave Off
cials little concern. 1t was believed
the mobilization began before the Mex
lean government could get word to the
commanding officer that the state de-
partment had withheld for the present
permission for the troops to pass
through American territory.
Officials said the American govern
ment officials on the border would not
permit the Mexicans to cross the line
without Instructions from Washington,
regardless of the fact that the acting
governor of Arizona had not with
drawn his permission for the Mexi-
cans to pass through that state.
One official said if the Mexicans did
actually cross the International line,
under the circumstances, it probably
gould be regarded as a mistake

getting hold Of . large tract OF

let the raise in the price Of land
pay for the road. So why not
the farmers that would be bene-
