HUNT FOR ROBBER OF
$4,000 IN JEWELS
Police Report Thief Got Gems
Worth 100000.

A general alarm was sent out last
night for a clerk. II years, who. ac-
cording to the police. disappeared mys-
teriously simultaneously with the dis
covery that diamonds worth somewhere
between $4,000 and 800, 900 were miss
ing from the office OF Meyerowitz Bros,
diamond importers of 170 Broadway
Both the police and officers of the firm
refused to disclose either the identity OF
the missing clerk or the circumstances
in which the diamond loss was discov-
cred. The police reported the missing
diamonds as worth 100000. but Henry
Morton, treasurer of the firm, said In his
home, 80 West Fortieth street, that the
gems could more accurately be ap-
praised at $4,000.
Mr.. Morton gave the reporters the
name of a youth who was employed by
the Arm and who. he said, had disap-
peared at about the time the loss OF
the diamonds was diDcoevred, but he
said he could recall the clerks address.

BERLIN. May 10.-"Week Of Mourn
ing" has been decreed by the Govern
ment to give expression to the "sor-
row and depression" called forth by
the announcement Of the peace
terms. The week will begin to-mor-
row.
The decree provides that public
frivolity must be stopped for a period
Of eight days. Its provisions affect
the first class theatres in the same
manner as the popular cabarets.
Dancing, horse racing and gambling
Will be suppressed for the week and
the occasion probably will be used to
put a definite end to the gambling
frenzy which is holding Greater Ber-
lin In its tentacles. A season of soul
searching would seem to be the most
probable reaction to the frivolity and
gambling which has been in progress.
On the day the peace terms were
published here the Karlshorst race
track took in more than S37,500 in
gate receipts. while the betting sheds
distributed 100000.
During the week of mourning the
Cabinet expects that the federated
states will give loyal cooperation to
Its endeavor to have every city, town
and hamlet observe the occasion.

Germany's reply to the terms OF peace
presented at Versailles on Wednesday
VIII be proposal for a peace of right
on the basis Of lasting peace of the
nations according to a proclamation
TO the German people issued here yes
terday by President Ebert. The text of
the proclamation follows:
The first reply of the Allies to the
sincere desire for peace on the part Of
our starving people was the laying down
OF the uncommonly hard armistice. The
German people, having laid down It's
arms, honestly observed all the obliga-
'ioHs ot inc Armlstlce, harQ as they
were, Notwithstanding this, our oppo-
nents for six months have continued the
war by maintaining the blockade. Tho
German people bore all these burdens
trusting in the promise given by the
Allies In their note of November 8, that
the peace would be u peace of right on
the basis of President Wilson's four
teen points
Instead OF that, the Allies have nov
given us peace terms which are in con-
tradiction to the promise given. 1t is
uAbearable for the German people and
is impracticable, even II we put forth
all our powers. Violence without meas
ure would be done to the German peo-
pie. From such an imposed peace fresh
hatred would be bound to arise between
the nations. and In the course of history
there would be new wars The world
would be obliged to bury every hope OF
a League of Nations liberating and
healing the nations ard insuring peace.

A Telegram to the Editor of The Sun
From Senator Brandegee of Connecticut

- Washington, May 10.
To the Editor of THE SUN:
THANK God that there is at least news
paper which remains American. Your
editorial article in THE SUN to-day is magnf-
cent. 1t is refreshing and encouraging in this
welter of maudlin sentimentality and nauseating
hypocrisy to know that there is one brain that can
think straight and one voice which is not afraid to
tell the free men of America that they are being
basely betrayed and sold out to Europe.
I want you to know that there some de-
termined and resolute men in the Senate who
have decided to save this country from the shame
and disgrace which President Wilson is prepar-
ing for US.

Don't Rail at Wilson,
Advises Won Reventlow
BY the Associated Press.


RERLIN, May 9 (delayed).-
Count Won Reventlow, in an
editorial in the Tsges Zeitung
to-day, changes his customary at
titude of anti-Americanism and
advises the German people not to
rail at President Wilson and
Americans. He continues:
Minister Giesberts ex-
plains that the attitude of
President Wilson was the
greatest deception of his
life. There is no doubt that
millions of Germans these
days feel as the Minister.
We have not suffered this
same illusion and believe
we can see that America will
be the only Power in the
world from which the Ger
man people can expect help
and relief. To let ones self
go in angry speeches about
the President seems neither
apropos nor useful, but
rather the contrary. About
President Wilson'S role,
which spells serious defeats
and loss of prestige for him,
we will speak at another
time.
The Count condemns the idea
of national Bolshevism as ex-
pressed by Minister Giesberts in
an interview at Versailles.

PEACE PLEDGE ILLUSORY
By tho Associdted Press.

PARIS, May 10.-Count Won Brock.
oorr-Rantzau, the head of the Ger.
man peace delegation. has addressed
two notes to the allied and associated
Powers, charging that the peace
treaty contains demands which coult
DO endured by no nation, and tha,
Germany was not asked to Join the
League Of Nations before being or.
dered to sign that plan. The Allies
answered each note. The first Ger.
man note follows:
The German Peace Delegation has
finished the first perusal Of the peace
conditions which have been handed
over to them. They have had to
realize that on essential points the
basis of the peace of right agreed
uTon between the belligerents has
been abandoned.
They were not prepared to find
that the promise. explicitly given to
tho German people and the whole of
mankind. is in this way TO be rem
dered illusory.
The draft OF the treaty contains
demands which no nation could en-
dure. Moreover. our experts hold that
many of them could not possibly be
carried out
The German Peace Delegation will
substantiate these statements In de-
tall and transmit to the allied and
associated governments their obser-
Vations and their material contin-
uously.
Reply to First Note.
To this note the following reply was
despatched
Tho representatives of the allied
and associated Powers have received
the statement OF objections OF tho
German plenipotentiaries to the draft
conditions of peace.
In reply they wish TO remind the
German delegation that they have
formulated the terms OF the treaty
with constant thought OF the princi-
pies on which the armistice and the
negotiations for peace were proposed.
They can admit no discussion OF their
right to insist on the terms OF the
peace substantially as drafted. They
odn COHSluer only such practical SuR-
gestions as the German plenipoten-
tiaries may have to submit.
Second German Protest.
The second German note reads:
The German Peace Delegation has
the honor to pronounce its attitude
on the question Of the League Of
Nations by herewith transmitting a
German programme which, in the
opinion of the delegation, contains
important suggestions on the League
OF Nations problem.
The German Peace Delegation re-
serves for itself the liberty of stat
ing its opinions on the draft OF the
allied and associated Governments
in detail. In the meantime It begs TO
call attention to the discrepancy ly-
Ing in the fact that Germany is
called on to sign the statute of the
League OF Nations as an inherent
part OF the treaty draft handed to
us and, on the other hand, is not
mentioned among the states which
are invited to Join the League OF Ma
tions.
