GERMANY's PLEA REJECTED.

The Peace conference at Versailles has re.
jected the German note, in which special plea
for mercy was made. Terms laid down are
hard, but just. That the Germans are asked
to endure but part Of the want they brought
on the world through their devastating course
10 set out very plainly in the note just delivered
to Won Brockdorf- Rantzau and his associates
The concluding paragraph of that note reads:
"All the nations of Europe are suffering
=, from losses and are bearing and will continue
to bear burdens which are almost more than
they can carry These burdens and losses
have been forced upon them by the aggres-
sion of Germany. It is right that Ger
many, which is responsible for the
origin Of these calamities. should make them
good to the utmost of its capacity. Its hard
ship will arise not from the conditions of
peace, but from the acts of those who pro-
voked and prolonged the war. Those who
were responsible for the war cannot escape
its just consequences"
Claims of Germany for mitigation Of the
terms with respect to food and fuel supplies,
raw materials, shipping facilities and the like
are categorcally met, and the bad faith Of the
delegates sent from Berlin is clearly exposed
In plain terms.
The peculiar workings of the German mind
never were more completely exhibited than in
the manifest attempt to cozzen the Allies in
making peace. Especially is this true in regard
to the matter Of shipping the German plea to
have the merchant marine left intact being
countered with the fact that 12,500,000 tons
Of shipping was destroyed by German crime,
and to restore this the Hun is asked to surren-
der now but 100000 tons. -
Even the most stolid German statesmen must
begin to realize the debt incurred when the ma
ton followed the kaiser on his course of con-
quest. This does not make 1t any easier to pay
up. But the court Is inexorable, though just
and the greatest offender of all times must come
through clean in the settlement.

Against the DAYLIGHT Law,

Farnam, Neb., May 20.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Poor Old Ben
Franklin! It seems to me it is TAX
ing unfair advantage of Benjamin
Franklin to try to cast reflections on
his memory and bring him into the
limelight as the original advocate and
l presume hold him responsible for
the daylight saving law.
Ben was without doubt a wise
statesman and great man, yet If he
advocated such q law he must have
got off on the wrong foot, for it
seemed that 1t must have taken q
century and more before his plan
was adopted. And when it was
brought forth it seems to be one
OF the most unpopular laws ever
written. 1t will no doubt soon be
relic Of the past.
Nor do I think politics have any
thing to do with the unpopularity Of
the law. You take 1t out through
the state and I venture to say 81
people out Of every 100 will express
themselves as opposed to the law,
and in a great many towns they
have condemned it and run their
schools, and everything goes by the
standard time except depot and
postofflce.
When the people want their
schools to commence at Z or 8
o'clock a.. m. there should be a
way Of accomplishing. this without
turning the clock up. I venture to
say that when the laboring men as
body demand that their day start
an hour earlier they can have It
their way While T admire our
friends pluck for standing UP for
so very unpopular a law, yet, like
the little Jersey bull that bowed
himself up in front of a moving To-
connective, think but little of his
judgment. j. OTTO MARTIN.

abandoned hope that Uncle Sam
could ever become disentangled
from the bewildering and bloody
meshes Of European politics and
policies that have for time taxed
his energy.
Senator Lodge says. in discussing
the proposed league OF nations and
peace treaty, that 1t is unacceptable,
and will not be accepted; that the
new league covenant, as included in
the peace treaty, is distinctly worse
than the old, and more dangerous
to American rights and interests.

abounds with Implications of dis
honesty and sharp practice ON the
