While Germans Grow Resentful
Over "Cruelty of the
Peace Terms"
ARE ALSO PESSIMISTIC
Germans at Weimar Declare
, the Terms are Extraordi-
narily Rough and Overbear-
ing.

A period Of waiting has settled
over the peace conference in Paris
while the Germans at Weimar are
making up their minds whether to
accept or reject the slightly amend
ed treaty Of peace handed them at
Versailles Monday.
While the Germans are discussing
the situation President Wilson is to
make his long promised visit to Bel
gium and David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, will go over
the Verdun battlefield. Both Presi-
dent Wilson and Mr.. Lloyd George
are expected to return to Paris Fri
day, and meanwhile It is anticipated
that little work will be done, except
by the various commissions upon
which have been imposed the tasl,
OF whipping into shape the questions
unsettled between the allies and
Austria-Hungary and other enemy
countries.
Accounts of the reception at Wei
mar of the amended peace treaty and
the covering note written by Premier
Clemenceau are to the effect that
there was deep pessimism and re-
sentiment over the alleged cruelty Of
the terms.
"A telephone message received at
Weimar from Versailles shortly after
the treaty and the note were placed
in the hands of the Germans charac-
terized them as extraordinarily rough
and overbearing and declared that
the Germans had been granted
smaller concession than they had ex-
pected through the reading of unof-
fetal forecasts of the terms of the
treaty.
At last accounts Berlin was in ig-
norance of the terms OF the treaty,
and although NJ. Clemenceaus note
was being received 1t was likely that
there would be delay in informing the
public of the stand of the allies, ow-
ing to the strike in the newspaper Of
fees.
Unofficial reports vary as to wheth-
er the Germans will or will not sign
quoting a message from Berlin, says
seven members of the German cabi-
net are in favor of signing, but that
the other seven are opposed to such
action. A Paris newspaper asserts
that one OF the German peace dele
gates declared before he left Ver-
sailles for Weimar that Germany
would sign because II was realized
dire consequences would follow re-
fusal
Considerable resentment prevails
at Weimar by reason of the fact that
the German delegation on leaving
Versailles for Weimar was hooted by
a crowd of hoodlums and two men,
bers OF the delegation were struck
by stones. Premier Clemenceau has
written a letter of apology to the
chief German plenipotentiary, The
prefect OF the department and the
police commissioner have been dis
missed.
The Turkish delegation. which ar
rived in France to discuss Turkish
claims for mild treatment. was heard
by the council OF 10. The main plea
of the Turks was that the Turkish
empire be not dismembered, the
claim being put forth that the Tur-
kish people were not responsible for
on the side OF the Teutonic allies.
Premier Clemenceau promised to
consider a memorandum on the
question which is to be presented by
the Turkish grand vizier and later to
make reply to it.

AS an addition to the uncertainty
prevailing with regard to whether
Germany will sign the peace treaty,
has come a crisis in the Italian gov
eminent to perpleX the peace confer
ence. Failing TO secure a vote OF con-
fidence in the chamber OF deputies in
Rome on a demand by Premier Or
lando that the chamber in secret ses-
sion listen to the governments eX-
plantations of the foreign policy, the
dent in parliamentary affairs and re-
signed.
This action probably will still fur
ther complicate the work of the
peace conference, especially in
Strengthening out the tangle that
long has existed as regards ItaIy's
claims to Fiume and the Delmetian
coastal region.
The vote of lack of confidence In
the government was an overwheI-
ming one, being 259 to 20. Prior to
the vote the premier in a statement
to the chamber had announced that
the various economic and financial
questions concerning Italy had been
solved, or were about to be solved.
While the members of the German
peace delegation are still reported
unotficially as violently opposed to
signing the treaty and the greater
part OF the German cabinet to be of
similar mind, latest indications are
that the general feeling in Germany
is tending toward recognition of the
fact that the allied demands must
be met.
American peace conference circles
in Paris have received indications
that to meet the requirements of the
allies there must come a change in
the personnel of the recalcitrant
German leaders and that a request
for short extension Of time from
Monday, when the time limit for
Germany to answer expires. may be
asked in order that plebiscite in
Germany can be held to determine
the consensus of opinion OF the
masses. These indications. however.
seemingly point toward the belief
that the Germans, in any eventuaIity.
Will sign.
Meanwhile Marshal Foch contin-
uos his preparations to meet any
contingency that may arise. The
concentration of allied troops along
the Rhine will be complete Satur-
day, in readiness to invade Ger
many further in case the Germans re-
main obdurate up to the time of the
expiration OF the time limit. Foch
also is reported to have extended his
line to the Danube, so as to be able
to operate from that region against

SMILE DANCE WAS PEPPY

Mir. Crouch, Mrs. Crouch and the remainder of the Crouch family found out that Saturday night while the finish of the longest day of the year was not long enough for them. The Grouch's, attempted to gain admitance at the Smile Dance given by the A. 5. last Saturday night, but doorkecpe' Charlie Crawford and Johnny Sullivan told them politely where to head in at and they headed. right about face. Consequently the -Smile dance was some little old Jazz party and if every body attending did not have a good time, it would be impossible at any future event to draw them out of their pessimiStic hide.
