GERMANSSTUNNED BY PEACE TERMS;
 WILL NEVER SIGN
 DECLARE LEADERS
Bolshevism and Strikes Have Made People Immune to Possible Horrors Antici-
 pated if They Are
 Plunged Into War
By Associated Pre-.

Berlin, Thursday, May 8. The people, though fairly stricken dumb by the peace terms, are now recovering sui ficiently to declare that Ger many cannot and will not sign the compact, no matter what comes.
 Strikes are increasing and bolshev- ism and the Spartacan uprising of the past two months have, if anything, made Germans immune to the possible horrors which are to be anticipated if they are again plunged into war, ac- cording to the best opinions here.
 There exists small group of Ger mans chiefly conservatives, who pre- fer to see the entente occupy the whole country than to have it bolshevik, but they are in the dwindling minority.
 Reports from the Versailles corre- spondents emphasize the feeling of amazement and excitement which pre- vailed on the reading of the terms of the peace treaty. All the correspond- ents agree that no nasty decision will be reached A fortnight is allowed the Germans for an answer, and this time will be used for careful consideration of the demands and the preparation of counter suggestions, the correspond ents say.
 MUCH SPECULATION
 There is much speculation in Ber- lin as to whether the terms repre- sent maximum demands which may be reduced or whether they are minimum and irreducible.
 According to the Berlin Zeitung Am Mittag the delegation at Versailles will carefully avoid any bargaining . but will present definite, clear-cut coun- ter propositions, which in part have already been prepared.
 These counter proposals" the news paper declares, editorially. will be based on the IA points so disgracefutly abandoned by President Wilson. If the German people had to vote on these terms, as a whole, there would not be in the whole empire single ives Force without measure or limit, ,that used to be Wilson phrase; and { the Wilson peace offered us yesterday falls in this category. instead of on his If points,

The people of the state never doubted for a moment the quality of their courage and they well knew the splendid account they would give of themselves, should the opportunity be offered for active service. The months have come and gone, they have passed through a score of engage ments, large and small, many of their comrades have been left on Flanders field. many of them hay received the highest decoration in the gift of their own country and from the allies, many of them are maimed. and now the survivors are again on the soil of their native country, to receive the approval Of an appreciative people.

Wounded.

Chicago, July 29.--Cnicago's black
belt was battlefield Monday night.
Negroes and whites fought over an
area approximately six miles square
within two miles of the heart of the
city. Pistols and rifles flashed and
bullets crashed through street cars
and buildings and on the streets, find
ing hundreds of victims. Police pa
trolls and hospital ambulances charged
through the mobs amid hail of bull
lets. rescuing the wounded and recov-
ering bodies Of the dead.
The police placed the number OF
dead at 10 with more than 25O wound
ed, many seriously. Four regiments
of National Guard infantry were
modified when Mayor William Hale
Thompson informed Governor Lowden
and Adjutant General Dickson he was
unable to control the situation.
The battle came as the climax Of a
bitter day. Sporadic outbursts flared
up all over the black belt during the
day. Then Mayor Thompson decided
the situation was out of control of the
police and asked Governor Lowden to
turn out militiamen. The governor in
turn notified Adjutant General Dick
son to mobilize all available state
troops and form them at the armories.

u. S.-FRENCH TREATY
GIVEN TO THE SENATE
President Urges Ratification and Ex-
plains the Pact-Sent by Special
Messenger.

Washington, July 30.-President
Wilson transmitted to the senate the
special treaty with France by which
the United States pledges itself to
come Immediately to the aid of that
republic in the event of an unprovoked
attack by Germany, and asked for its
early ratification "along with the
treaty with Germany"
Submission of the treaty came after
sharp criticism by senate Republicans,
who for several days had openly
charged on the senate floor that in
failing to present the draft of the pact
along with the treaty of Versailles, the
president had violated one of the ar
.ticles of the document. The president
did not follow the usual custom of
presenting the treaty in person. He
sent it to the capitol by special mes
senger along with a message explain
ing its object.
The FrancO-American treaty is al
most identical with one signed between
Great Britain and France.
