WILSON THEME.
TICkLISH ONE
SAYS RANTZAU
Head of German Peace
Mission Grows Bitter
Against America?

Berlin, Wednesday. Nay 2S.-
delayed. 1.-THE theme CT Presi-
dent Wilson is a very ticklisf
one" was a statement made by
Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau,
chief of the German peace delega-
ton at Versailles, according to the
correspondent of the Deutsche
Zeitung, for Mr.. Wilson is the
father of our surrender. The Ger
man people counted on him and
has voluntarily made itself de-
fenseless on his IA points. Our
counter proposals were based on
them"
The correspondent represents
the count as critical. if not un-
friendly toward America. He quotes
hirl as saying that if the present
terms are enforced the conclusion
must be drawn that ali declara-
tions during the war, especially
those of President Wilson. were
nothing less than military ruse,
which deceived the German peo-
pie and government"
Deny "Will Sign Anyhow"
The belief that Germany will
sign anyhow" is based wholly ON
a false Interpretation of the facts,
the Tageblatt says.
In the same measure as, the
German people no longer desire TO
surround themselves with illus
IONS the newspaper says, ''ir is
urgently desirable that the allied
countries also be robbed OF their
illusions. They must be told re-
reatedly tat the German govern
ment and tic German peace dele
CATION are one in the deCarmina-
ton not to sign the allied terms
in their present form"
Any failure to take the German
counter proposals seriously, it
also says, is founded on the ina
bility of the allies to realize the
actual conditions.

TOLEDO STREET
CARS ARE idle
Men Not Permitted to Work When
They Appear Wearing Labor
Union Buttons.

Toledo, Ohio, May 30-Street
car service was at a standstill here
this morning and it was announced
that it was deemed impossible 10
reach an early agreement.
When the day crews wearing the
union button reported for work to-
day they were informed that the
cars were not to be operated.
The tie-up started at midnight
when crews wearing the labor in
sigma were ordered to take their
cars into the barn.
The war labor board two days
ago awarded the conductors and
motormen a wage increase which
included the right TO wear the
button, one of the principal points
in the street car controversy which
resulted in a lockout three years
ago last April.
The attitude of the company is a
surprise to organized labor Frank
r. Coates, president of the Toledo
Railways & Light company, said
today that he had not received the
official text Of the labor boards
award and until it arrived his COM
pany stood where it did three years
ago.
The men are to receive from AZ

award. They asked so to so cents.

SAYS DANIELS
Nay Head Declares L. 5. Must
Never Again Depend on Foreign
Vessels in Its Trade.

Philadelphia, May 30.-Never
again will the United States be
guilty of the folly of trusting its
foreign commerce to the ships OF
other nations or of quitting the ship
building industry, said Secretary
Daniels of the navy department, in
all address today at Hog Island on
the occasion of the launching of five
steel freighters - the greatest
single days launching ever at

vessels added $4,000 tons to the
American merchandising.
I'VE could not, if we would as a
nation" said Secretary Daniels,
Longer live between the two
oceans dependent upon foreign bot
toms for our overseas commerce.
We will put the shipbuilding indus
try on a sound basis.
lone of the chief compensations
of the burden of the great struggle
is the restoration of the American
merchant marine or rather its re-
birth. for we are building upon a
scale that was not dreamed of even
in the early days when the Amer
icaa flag was seen in all parts Of
the world. In spite of mistakes due
20 haste and the high war costs, a
great and lasting good has come
from the revival of shipbuilding.
THE genius. statesmanship and
skill of America must be united in
the development of merchant ma
rine and naval strength which will
not alone contribute to supplying
the leeds of other nations but in
sure wider markets for the ever
increasing surplus of American

KAISER WORRIES
ABOUT HIS FATE
Shows No Interest in Peace Terms
Except Clause Dealing With
Himself-StiII Hides.

Amerongen. Wednesday, MAY 2S
Since the former German emper-
or has been acquainted with the
peace terms he has become even
more invisible to the outer world.
The only possibility of catching a
glimpse of him is when he crosses
the drawbridge twice daily. going
to and returning from his log saw
ing in the gardens of the castle,
and then he is only within sight
for about four seconds.
Replying to repeated request
for a declaration. the former en-
peror sent the following words:
Tell the Associated Press that
my attitude is unchanged"
Apparently there is no excite
ment among the members of his
suite over the peace terms The
only portion of which interests the
imperial exile is the clause relat-
ing to himself
Crown Prince Meets Mother.
The former empress appears to
be more affected than her husband
and is evidently under the impress
sion that the powers will succeed
in bringing him before a tribunal.
The former German crown
prince and his mother had lunch
con today at Amersfoort, north of
Amerongen. Afterwards the for
rler empress returned to Ameron-
gen and Frederick William went
back to the island of Wieringen.
No details of the meeting or of
the reasons for the journey of the
former emperor passed the day as
ususal at the Won Bentinck castle.

les to go and salute their brothers
in arms, fallen for the safety of
their land and the liberty OF the
world. Later, when you have left
Europe, rest assured that the same
rites will be rendered them, and
with the same fervor."

throng had gathered. 1t included

Beaune. France, Thursday, May
20.-Captain Andred Tardieu, mem
Der of the French peace delegation,
and lormer head of the general
commission for France American
war matters, defended the treaty OF
peace today at the closing exe--
cises of Beaune university where
10000 American student soldiers
have been studying since the
armistice was signed. He said in
part:
First, it is honest; it agrees with
our program of war, with our pun
lie engagements, and with Cur COLI
ception of international life. To
find matters for reproacn in this
charter is to misunderstood alto
gether what ideals have contributed
to our victory and to stTp US IL
peace time of one of our greatest
forces in the var.
Foe Faces Wall of Granite.
While he is studying and dis
cussing this same treaty, the enemy
we'll knows that he has a block of
granite in front of him. II anyone
tries tC belittie this solidarity he
thereby confesses that he has learn
ell rothing from the war or our
union.
Finally it is efficient, for in that
world which it invites to peace it
makes Germany truly harmless. 1t
forces her to repair everything
which the universal conscience of
the world demands that she should
repair"
Captain Tardieu warned the
Americans against intrigues, at
home and abroad, which, he said,
tended to break down the friend
ship between America and France,
and might "befog the conscience of
the people" He told of stories put
into circulation by Germans, saying
he mentioned them merely to draw
their venom" and gave warning
against expressions which might
be harmless if uttered in a New
York club but which are dangerous
and blameworthy If voiced in
Paris"
Asks L. s. he Told Truth.
Captain Tardieu asked that the
American soldiers tell the people of
the United States of the true condi-
tions in France.
You will tell of France just as
you have seen her" he said. "You
have seen her fighting in the front
line; you have seen her at work
behind the lines. Tell them also, for
il is true, that at the peace table
she has remained the slave of her
word.
I'VE at this end will tell how two
years ago you had nothing of the
many things which go to make
modern war, and how twelve
months later you were 100000
strong in our land. We will also
say that during the labor of the
conference, our just claims found
no more far-seeing advocate than
President Woodrow Wilson.
You will say that you were quite
aware of all the intrigues on foot
intended to darken the purity of
our mutual friendship. We will say
that we see clearly the game of
those for whom the loosening of
our common bonds is but an in !
strument of reaction or one of reyo- /
iutiOn.
In that way the F'ranco-Amer- |
lean friendship offspring of Wash /
