 DEPORTATION OF SlACkERs

St. Louis, Mo. May 11.-The adop- ton Of resolution demanding that congress pass laws to deport. alien slackers was among the principal bus mess conducted yesterday by the eau GUS of the American Legion which ad- Journed after a~three+ day session at the Shubert-Jefferso theatre. Numer- ous other resolutions dealing princi- pally with upholding Americanism were passed. - r.i s.s.s.y,-.ss= 5,.zl.st s The legion rejected the suggestion to the delegates that they declare their preference for .a eand ida te for presi- dent of the United states. Printed slips asking each delegate to write his individual choice for president were passed out among the delegates by the Pcst-Dispatch. The slip also request cd that the delegate state who he vot-, ed for at the last presidential election.
 The caucus elected Major Robert Bacon of Massachusetts treasurer of the American Legion until the con- ventlon in November at Minneapolis. Among the resolutions brought up for consideration was one asking that congress be asked to pass laws giving each enlisted man who served six months or more six months additional pay at $30 a month and that each en- listed man who served less than six months should receive S15 a month. : The motion failed of passage after | Lieut.. Col. Theodore Roosevelt called the attention of the delegates to the fact that the resolution was a double

 elnment Col Roosevelt said that the ] American Legion intended to see that ! it's members got all their rights com , ing to them from the government. but 1 that it would not be advisable to pass 1 the resolution. a..
 1 The caucus passed the resolution in i troduced by Vice Chairman J. J. Sulli- i van of Seattle that congress deport all alien slackers who surrendered their
 citizenship papers rath.r than fight for
 the United States The resolution as
 finally passed read that every man who refused naturalization in the hope O.
 avoiding overseas service be deported. : Major Richard Foster of Kansas ! City in a speech asking that the reso-
 lution be passed related some of his
 experiences with consc;entious objec- tors at Camp Funston. He charged that the war department had practi cally nuliified the selective service act at the 1yehest of the socialists, Eol-
 shevists and l. W. W. organizations. | Chicago, which was turned down as the next convention city because of the fact that Mayor Thompson governs the
 municipality, won the honor of being :; named by a committee as the site for the permanent headquarters. Consid !, ation of the question was. however ! deferred un til the November conven 7; ton.
 The prohibition resolution which was ]! offered Friday did not materialize, the }, committee voting against bringing il before the entire caucus. It was helc
 that this savored too much of taking

PEACE TERMS. EXCITE xs<..,
 THE HoHENzoLIERN PARTY

A1ierongs Friday. May s.--(By The 4. P.)--An official abstract of the pre- lininary peace terms published In the Dutch newspapers, which was trans- lated and read to the former Ger man emperor today, has aroused con- siderable excitement among the mem bers of the Hohenzollern party. An inkling concerning what the entente intended to do in connection with bringing William Hohenzollern to trial had reached the German off c!als earlier in the week. They com municated the information to the former empress. who displayed signs of marked emotion, but decided to await the appearance of fuller of ticial report before making the, news known to her husband.
 4 special messenger motored to Arm hem Thursday 10 procure a copy of the local newspapers.
 How the former emperor took the oews the correspondent was unable to ascertain, as everyone in the castle is sworn to secrecy regarding happen ings. Rumors were circulated in the village that he attempted to commit suicide by hanging, but these are con- sidered canards, since his attendants are quite calm.

 TO EXPECT BETTER TERMS

London, Saturday, May 10.-The Earl of Reading. British ambassador ro the United States, on his return from New York on the Aquitania to- day. said that the Germans had no right to expect anything less in the peace terms.
 They must have known perfectly well.' Lord Reading said. that when they laid down their arms as a van quished people they must submit to the. terms that a just victor would claim"
 .'The German" he added. could hardly expect to be received into the bosoms of our families
 Discussing the German attitude to- ward the treaty and the contention that it goes beyond President Wilson's S fourteen points, h said:
 The best answer is that President Wilson has accepted the proposals em- bodied in the treaty. The author of the fourteen points is the best inter- preter of them, and he has accepted the treaty"

TERMS NOT HARDER THAN 2 GERMAN EDITOR EXPECTED

{ Berlin, via London. May 11.-Maxi- 1ian~ Harden, editor of the Berlin Die Zukunft, writing on the peace treaty, says: 1ti
 The peace conditions are not hard CT than I expected. They were un- pleasant to the greater part of the people. But could one really have .ex- pected them otherwise?
 The Germans have not given very convincing mental guarantees during the six smonths since the revolution that they have changed their system; on the: contrary the present govern ment and the press have used the sa me methods of indictment, the same tricks of bluff as under the old rule of the petty. nobility.
 "The governments proclamations and speeches are only bad copies of the kaisers time. The whole press resounds in protests and has started a campaign of indictment against the allies, couched in violent language. It is agita ting for refusal to sign the treaty, and to what use? All must know that the allies, by keeping up the blockade and occupying the coal districts can force Germany to sign whatever they want.
 The allies have been threatened that Germany would join the BolGhe- wiki. But that would be suicidal. The only way to rescue the country is by openness and honesty. The revolution has been great disappointment. Germany should have sent men who would have laid their cards on the table and got the allies to under stand that some of the conditions were unaccepta ble. If Germany showed it's good will to do what is in it's power to comply with the allies requests. the allies would see that conditions were ! changed in favor of Germany, because | they know there must be Germany , and that it i3 impossible to destroy ! the German people"

MI Parties Are United in Expression of Scorn for the Terms
 Imposed Upon Their Country-Two Additional Notes Have Been Sent to Premier Clemencecu by Count Won
 Brockdorff. .Ranzau Head of the German Peace Dele
 sation, Dealing With the Subjects of Prisoners of War E and Labor Legislation

' Paris, May 1.-Two additional notes have been sent by Count Voa Brockdorfr- Rantzau. head of the Ger man peace delegation, 10 Premier Gle rnenceau as president of the peace con- ference. The notes. which were for varded Saturday evening. dealt with tho subjects of prisoners or war ard labor legislation. ts..
 a The replies which the council os four sent to the preceding German notes, made public Saturday. were drawn up, according the Temps, with the personal and particularly active co1abora ton of President Wilson.
 The protests that came from yari- ous Quarters in Germany over the peace terms, as they were reported be- fore the official terms became known, are as nothing in comparison with the wave of remonstrance-angr bitter. disappointed in tone-ths. Is sweeping over Germany now that c.fe treaty has been presented. States, municipali- : ties, districts. organizations of various sorts, business mems and women's clubs and the political parties through their spokesmen are wing with each ether in finding words in which to ex- press scorn and condemna ton for the document. .f
 For perhaps the first time in history all the German parties are united in opirion. each of them assailng the terms Germany is asked to sign. for the body of the independent socialist party does not appear to agree with it's organ. Die Freiheit that Germany should sign the peace. on the terms presented. The newspapers are ut teriy swamped with the protests, be- ing able to print but a fraction of them.

 The government likewise Is being overwhelmed with telesrams which 1t Is utterly unable to answer save by public announcement of its gratitude.
 In the criticisms, President Wilson is only mildly aesaile6 here and there, since word has gone to the press from official quarters that he is not to be taken to task.
