HUNS PASS THROUGH PARIS.
THEIR RETURN UNCERTAIN
Evident From Survey of Baggage
Some Do Not Intend to
Return

Paris, May 18.-(By the Associated
Press).-The head of the German
peace delegation, Count Won Brock
| dorff- -Rantzau, came to Paris last
night, but only for brief stay. On
his way from Versailles to Berlin the
Count and other members of his party
went through the city to the porthern
railway station. They arrived at the
station at $40 o'clock and departed
an hour later.
On arriving at the station the
Count Immediately entered drawing
room car bearing the imperial Ger
man arms, which had been coupled
to the paris-Cologne express. After
thanking Capt. Bourgeois for the
courtesy extended by the French Of
fcer the Count closed the door HIM
self, while the German attendants
drew the window shades. The train
left Paris an hour after he went
aboard.
Return Uncertain.
When the Count will return is un-
certain. 1t was stated in French cir
cles, which at first attempted to con-
ceal his intended departure, that he
was going only to Spa and would re-
turn on the next train, but his absence
undoubtedly is for considerable pc
riod. Among those who accompanied
him was Max Warburg Herr Leinsert
and Herr Schuecking will remain at
Versailles in charge of negotiations,
which may be continued until their
chiefs eventual return. 1t was evil
dent from a survey of the baggage
that several of those who left for the
German capital would not return.
Their departure from Versailles was
shrouded in mystery by the French
and it was witnessed by no one ex-
cept detectives and gendarmes.
Purpose of Trip.
The purpose of the trip of the peace
delegates to Berlin is with their gov
ernment whether to sign the peace
treaty. There is a sharp difference of
opinion or this subject. Non-Socialist
supporters of the government, with
the exception of some leaders of in
dustry, are strongly opposed to ac-
cepting the conditions imposed by the
Entente. The Independent Socialists
outside the government are just as
strongly in favor Of signing. Chan
cellor Scheidemann himself apparent
ly has not yet made up his mind and
is awaiting detailed report from
Count Won Brockdorf- Rantzau, in the
meantime leaving the way open for
either an Affirmative or negative de-
cision.

ELECTRICAL STORM HAS
AN AT TERMATH OF FIRE
6Iaxe in National Forests Of Western
Section Doing Untold Damage and
May Become More Serious

Missoula-An electrical storm pass.
fng over western Montana was respOn-
sible for reports OF five new forest
fires In the vicinity of Missoula within
| four hours. Each of these fires was
caused by lightning. according to the
reports TO the headquarters of district
No. / Of the forest service.
One started in Wood -gulch, in the
Rattlesnake valley, only few miles
from the city. Another was reported
from Marshall creek, two were report
ed from the Deer Lodge forest near
Warm Springs and one on Mount Gold
near the village of Bonner, seven miles
east of Missoula.
District Forester r. H. Rutledge
said in the course of a statement de-
claring that the menace of fire is ex-
tremely dangerous now. that more
fires undoubtedly would be reported
later as the result Of the storm. There
was no rain accompanying the storm,
according to fhe reports.
Up to the coming of the storm, the
district forester said, the large crews
totaling more than 1000 men in the
district, had battled the flames to a
standstill.
District Forester Rutledge states
that the forest fire situation in Mon
tana and Idaho is the gravest in many
years. Unusually hot weather and dry
ing winds have produced critical con
ditions foreboding disastrous conse-
quences. Only prompt placing of big
crews on reported fires have thus far
kept the flames in check. Fires are
not out they are being held If heavy
wind arises they will escape control
and the worst forest conflagrati0n in
the history of the northwest will
ensue. Rain alone can bring relief.
Lightning storms in the mountains
now would be very destructive. Fires
set by them are hard to reach and
fight and they cannot be prevented.
Man-set fires are preventable Peo-
pie must realize the dangerous condi-
lions and exercise every precaution.
Things are in right shape for a repe-
tition here of the appalling Minnesota
disaster of last year.

..To render assistance in securing
employment for ablebodied veterans.
To devote as much of the fund as
may be necessary TO the relief of sick
or wounded veterans. To assist in
veteran welfare work generally, and
to compile such statistics as will be
helpful in the activities of the COM
mission, and as will enable the COM
mission to disburse the fund in such
a way as to reach those who are in
greatest need of assistance"

its publication. Defendant Smith, on
direct examination. contended that he
did not see the editorial copy, knew
that it was to be published only from
the headline which he saw in the form
and did not know of its tone and con-
tents until after the edition had been
run off the press. He explained on
cross examination that when he testi-

for matter printed in the Bulletin, he
meant that he was responsible in
general way.
Defendant Smith is veteran of the
Spanish-American war, and in April

the army, but was rejected because OF
defective vision. He said he was pro-
ally both before and after the United
States entered the war; and was per-
sonally instrumental in donating
space in the Bulletin for Liberty loan
and War Savings advertisements.
