BRITISH PAPERS FIND
FAULT WITH THE TREATY

London, May S.--The peace terms,
while receiving considerable approval
from almost the entire London press,
do not escane from sharp criticism on
certain points The objections center
mainly on the question of financial
compensation from Germany
The Morning Post finds It difficult
to say whether the treaty is good or
bad because of the completely and
intricacy of the terms" but is en-
phatic in declaring that the value of
the treaty depends upon the power to
enforce it," as Germany certainly will
not accept it except under duress.'
The Daily Mail fears that Great
Britain will find the terms very far
short of the pledges made by Premier
Lloyd George, 1t adds:
"Ifthe summary actually represents
the text. the provisions are good on
the military and naval side, but dan
derously full of loop holes on the fl
nancial side"

D|SAPPROvAL Of
NATIONS LEAGUE
.CoI, H, R, Brown Tells State
EnCampm6nt That Plan Is
Not Popular Among Expedi-
tionary Forces.

That the league of nations is not
popular among the overseas soldiers
was the statement made today by
Lieut. Col. II. K. Brown, who returned
recently from service in France, in an
address delivered at the tamp fire of
the Grand Army of the Republic in
Odd Fellows hall last night. The res
marks cf Colonel Brown were vigor-
ously applauded by the veterans of
1851.
The boys were well enough salts
fled to go to France and do their bit
in crushing the Huns, Colonel Brown
said, hut now that they have accom-
plished the mission for which they
were sent abroad they are anxious to
regard the job as finished and come
home. He added that they have no
desire to return TO Europe or any
foreign country to aid in settling fam
iy disputes.
Colonel Brown said his personal
opinion was that 1t would be unwise
for America to become a party to a
league of nations. America does not
understand European diplomacy and
if she joins the league of nations,
will have a lot of burdens saddled
upon her which she can i'll afford tC
bear.
Keep a good sized navy and adopt
universal training" said Mr. Brown in
conclusion. and then tell other ma
tlons to keep their hands off. They
will do it. We do not need to join a
league OF nations IL we take these pre-
cautions
George s. Klocll also took rap at
the league of nations
There would have been no revolu-
tionary war" he said "if there had
been league of nations. The other
powers would not have allowed it
Consequently there would have been
no United States of America"
The thirty-sixth annual encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Re-
public department of New Mexico
opened in odd Fellows hall yesterday
Not over half dozen delegates from
out of town were in attendance. This
is not strange, however, as there are
only about ninety of the veterans of
1861 now living in the state. Several
who had planned to attend the en-
campment were prevented from doing
so by business engagements.
The forenoon and afternoon we're
taken UP with business sessions. At 6
p. m. the Women's Relief Corps served
supper to the visitors, local members
Of the G.. A. r. and w c. r. and
their families. This was followed by
the camp fire at o'clock, at which,
Mr.. Klock, Colonel Brown and others
smoke and a program of music and
recitations was given.

washington, May S.-Ihe Victory
Liberty Loan subscriptions have now
reached $2,S1S,561. 900, with an in
crease of $359,S77,00O in the last
tWenty-four hours. These figures, as
announced tonight by the treasury
show that 6263 per cent of the "a, 500,-
100000 quota has been subscribed.
The feeling of relief apparent about
the treasury today is not to be inter-
preted, however, as indicating any
reason why all the subscriptions possi-
Die should not be rolled in during the
remaining two days. Small orders still
are as much desired as ever, it was
explained, because the financial sound
ness of the loan depends on a wide
distribution of the securities.
The race for the highest standing in
percentage of quota at the close OF
the records Saturday has developed
between the st. Louis district, which
still heads the percentage list. with
1874, the Minneapolis district with
1891, and the New York district with
fIS5. New York in the figures tabu-
lated tonight at the treasury, was
within $50, 100000 of billion dollars
A telegram from st. Louis tonight
indicated that district expects to go
over the top tomorrow. The Cleveland
district has $50 honor communities
and is headed only by the Chicago dis
trict, which has 1890.
Glass Praises Women,
Secretary Glass today sent the fol-
lowing message broadcast through the
Woman's Liberty Loan committee to
the women of America
The women of the United States
have made instant and magnificent re-
sponse to every call which the gov
ernment has made to them. Through
the five Liberty Loans they have
served with devotion, with zeal and
with self-sacrificing patriotism. They
have bought bonds to the limit of
their purchasing power and sold bonds
to the limit of human powers of en-
durance, of persuasion and of stead
fastness in purpose. Even with the
armistice signed, they have never
ceased their answering devotion to
duty. In this Victory Loan they have
been pillars of power and towers of
strength in the selling organization.
Undaurted by obstacles and dlscours
agements, they have held their posts.
