CABINET STATEMENT
 FORECAST OF REPLY
. German Delegates Will Probably
 Decline to Sign

Berlin, May 21, CRy Associated Press)-The German cabinets declar- ation, issued officially and exclusive -ly through the Associated Press on Tuesday that Germany would decline to sign the peace terms as presented to her at Versailles reflects the under lying note of the official reply to be made to the Allied and associated powers. In fact the statement a:' whole virtually represents the preamble of the document when Count von Brockdorff- Rantza head of the German delegation is expected to deliver at Versailles before the end of the present week.
 This document will be completed by specific proposals and counter pro- posals which will bring the volume of the reply up to about 50 type written pages This is exclusive Of the various notes already transmitted announcement of which was made by the German delegation in Tuesday $ communication to Premier Clemen- ceau.
 The delay of several days in the framing of the reply has been due to the absence of confirmation from Count von Brockdroff- Itantzau aid his associates at Versailles of decisions reached at Berlin. The Germans have been carrying on deliberations st three placeS-VersailleS, Spa amt Berlin-this separation making more , difficult the work of CO-ordlnatng and unifying the steps decided upon. Tn Berlin there appears to be. dlft- culty, as the work of getting the peace commissioners and national assembly in agreement is said to have been much delayed through constant intervention of the party leaders.
 While the material contents of the . German reply in all it's essential points has been agreed upon by all construction of the note will require a few days beyond the time limit set by the Entente Chis extension has since been asked for and granted).
 The German counter-proposals will , be of a definite character, and some of them will be so framed as to invite or suggest q revision of tho S present terms. It is also believed that the Germans will suggest tha- neutral arbitrators be called in where hte issues are exceptionally complex and that they will recommend the appointment of mixed commissions comprising Allies, German and neu- tral representatives to pass upon the question of the restoration of the de- Yastated districts and some of the 7nlore urgent problems relating to in ternational trade.

RAINFALL CAUSES DAMAGE.
Southwestern Part of City Converted
 Into Miniature Lake By Flood.

The heavy rainfall converted the southwestern part of the city into miniature lake last evening. In the vicinity of Monroe and Linwood streets, the greatest damage was done. The old bridge on Monroe street proved inadequate to the torrents The new bridge erected about year ago, however, showed it's worth and in that particular section, the flood was not very bad.
 On Shuttle Meadow avenue. the street was submerged at times with water from the ice house pond At Towers bridge at the foot of South Main street, the land is covered with water today. The board of public works received numerous calls last evening for relief from the water which clogged some of the catch basis, and many flooded cellars re- suited. Local members of the Shrine who attended the meeting in Hartford and returned to this city in automo- miles, report difficulty in driving on account of the heavy downpour after midnight.
