Russian Peace Delegation In
sists on a Voice in Any
ReuisiOn of the Treaty. Terms

WASHINGTON, May 17-Advices re-
ceived by the Russian Embassy here
to-day from Paris show that the
Chinese delegates to the peace confer
ence not only are seeking to free
China from the obligations imposed by
her treaties with Germany, but also
are seeking to relax the hold which
Japan now has on parts of Manchura
by virtue of the concessions acquired
at the end of the Russo-Japanese War.
M. Sazonoff, chief of the Russian
delegation at Paris, cabled the en-
Dassy to-day that the question raised
by China concerning the revsal of
Russian Chinese treaties had caused
the Russian political conference in
Paris to send the following declaration
to the peace conferences:
Welcoming the regeneration of
China and admitting in principle the
utility of the revisal in the future of
the agreement which had become out
of date, the Russian conference insists
that no revisal of treaties is admissi

A Vote on Treaty
Purpose to Hold PIE
biscite if Allies Re-
fuse to Soften Terms

BERLIN. May II (By The Associat-
ed Press).-The German government
has arranged for plebiscite if the
Allies refuse to make concessions in
the treaty Of peace, according to the
"Zeitung Am Mttag."
Mass demonstrations are the order
of the day, both in Berlin and the
provinces. A crowd estimated at 200,-
600 persons and including people from
the frontier regions, assembled on
Thursday at the Reichstag Building
and adopted strongly worded resolu-
tions against the peace terms. The
neighborhood of the Hotel Adlon, the
headquarters of the Allied missions,
has been placed under guard of cor
don of police.
Pacifist Cabinet Talked Of
Persistent but contradictory reports
of government crisis are heard in
Berlin. The weekly newspaper pub
ished by the Independent Socialist
Breitfelne says that Count Won Bern
storff has been making an effort to
form new Cabinet which would in
clude DR.. Dernburg Matthias Erzberger
and Noske, the Minister of Defence.
On the other hand, there are reports
from ~official circles that a plan is on
foot to create Cabinet of pacifists in
the hope of winning for Germany the
confidence of the Allies. This Cabinet
would include Karl Kautsky, DR..
Muehlon, DR.. Forster, Herr Hoferdine
and Privy Councillor Willing the
brother-in-law of Maximilian Harden.
Among those mentioned as possible
successors to Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau as Foreign Minister are Count
Won kessler, former German Minister
at Warsaw, and Herr Won Berlach.
Demonstration Against Americans
LONDON, May 17.-There was a
mass demonstration outside of the
headquarters of the American mission
at Hamburg, Thursday, during which
the terms Of peace were denounced,
according to Berne dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company.
PARIS, May 17.-Further indications
that the German peoples indignation
over tne peace terms, as reported in
Berlin dispatches, is not as spontane-
Gus as 1t has been made 20 appear are
found. by the "Temps" in one circum-
stance connected with the dropping

protests against the requirements of
the peace treaty. These protests de.
clared that the object of Germany's
enemies was not the destruction OF
German militarism, but to "impose

"One might think that this language
was provoked by the presentation OF
the peace treaty on May to Count Won

copy, was printed on May a, three days

Opposition in Denmark
To Schles,oig Plebiscite
Former Premier Neergaard
Objects to attempt TO As
simulate the German People

Strong objection to the proposed
plebiscte in the third or southern
zone of the Schleswig, as outlined by
the peace treaty, was raised by former
Premier Niels Neergaard at secret
meeting Of the Danish Rigsdag, says
an official dispatch to the Danish Le-
cation in Washington given out in New
York yesterday. Mr.. Neergaard, who is
a member of the Danish delegation to
the peace conference, said the stand
point of the Rigsdag in the Schieswig
question always had been founded on
the desire to preserve Denmark as a
national state and a united people.
Denmark, the former Premier con-
tinued, if it attempted to assimilate the
hostile German population of southern
Schleswig, which was in the majority
in the district, would be faced with
controversies as to language, institu-
tions and status of officials. Denmark
had relied upon the support Of Europe
in 1852 when all the powers guar
anteed the integrity of Danish terri
tory to the Ebe River, but Germany
took over the Schleswig in 1854
The peace to be signed at Versailles,
he continued, probably would not bring
a more enduring peace than the treaty
of Vienna, and Denmark could not ex-
pect much support in holding the Ger
man-speaking inhabitants in southern
Schleswig to their Danish allegiance.
Conflicts Of interests between the great
powers will continue, Mr.. Neergaard
said, and events may occur which
would seriously alter the existing sys-
tenn. The decision Denmark took at
the present time, he continued, was
serious to the present generation and
would have important consequences for
succeeding generations

General Hunter Liggett and an Ameri-
can cavalry guard of honor on the
Rhine at II o'clock in the morning.
A salute of nineteen guns boomed
as the marshal set foot in the Ameri

was believed American cannon on Ehr-
enbreitstein fort were firing the salute,
but it was discovered that the French
gunbocts accompanying Marshal
Foch's steamer were doing him this
honor for the American army.
Under the American military law no
gun salutes may be given during the
period of the war. Advised of this
the French brought their own salute

Precautionary Measure

| strategic points at Smyrna wero taken

Precautionary Measure
The movement was directed by the
peace conference as precautionary
measure for the maintenance of order,
according to the terms Of the Turkish
armistice The British and French
forces will be withdraw as soon as the
authority Of Greece as a mandatory is
established firmly.
The Allied occupation of Smyrna is
taken by the Paris press as an indi-
cation of the early end Of the Ottoman
Empire.
European Turkey, the echo de Paris"
predicts, will be divided into two parts,
one to go to Greece and the other to
be created into the intern ational State
Of Constantinople, with the United
States as mandatory.
Armenia, according to the news
papers forecast, will become a nation
under an American protectorate, Eng
land will have the mandate for South
ern Mesopotamia and Palestine. France
will be given control Of Syria, with
possibly Diarbekir, Adana and several
mandataries in the neighborhood of
Anatolia, while Italy will receive the
Adalia district and be made protector
of the Turks, whose new capital will
be Konia or Brusa, fifty miles south
east of Constantinople.
