Commercial High Court
Urged for Old Austria
American Representative in
Vienna Fapors United Con-
trO! for Small Nations

VIENNA, May II (By The Associated
Press).-The peace conference, during
the stay Of the Austrian delegation at
st. Germain, should provide for q COM
mercial high court to have charge of
commercial affairs in the republics
formed from the old empire and the
court should have authority for a long
period of years, Captain Thomas Greg
eory, of California. the representative
here of the Interalled Food Commits
sion, said in q statement to-day.
"Otherwise," he added, "the political
differences of tho various nationalities
will cause a continuance of the present
commercial chaos, with the result THAT
the superior German trade organiza-
ton will come in and eventually will
dominate the country politically as it
di dformerly. Also there is likely to
be new wars under present conditions.
Such a high court should have final
authority in regulating trade and it is
also important that there be a con-
troller in charge of the railroads and
waterways.
.In some measure this is what is
being attempted now by the Americans
here. For the good Of all concerned
we are struggling daily with problems
involving exchange. money rates and
trade exchanges. We can do what the
countries with their conflicting from
tiers and interests never will be able
to do alone"

Efforts to Allocate Tonnage

Allied Losses Renewed; ;
Poland Asks Ship Share

PARIS, May IA (By The Associated
Press efforts are being
made by the British delegation to Sc
cure an agreement calling for the pool
ing of former German merchant YES
sells and their distribution on a basis
of tonnage loss during the war in
stead of the plan of the United States
retaining those ships interned in Amer
ica prior to that country entering the
war.
Poland is laying claim to some of
the warships surrendered by Germany.
She presented her claims to the Coun-
Gil of Foreign Ministers to-day.
WASHINGTON, May 14,-OAficials
here do not believe that renewed
efforts by the British government to
secure an agreement calling for the
pooling of former German merchant
vessels will be successful. Opposition
by Che United States, when the pro-
posal first was advanced, defeated the
British plan in the supreme economic
council, the decisions of which must
be unanimous to be binding, and it
was said here to-day that there was nc
reason to believe President Wilson
had changed his mind on the subject
The United States has 654,OO0 tons
of German shipping, including some
of the finest and largest of the former
German liners. Approximately 350,00(
tons of American shipping were lost in
the submarine warfare and the diff
ference probably will be retained BY
the United States and paid for in the
final settlement Of this country's
claims against Germany.

Senator Kings League
Draft Arrived too Late
But Colonel House Says Com
mission Agreed With Him
in Many CHANCES Made

WASHINGTON, May 14.-A substi-
tute draft for the original covenant of
the league of nations, prepared by
Senator King, of Utah, Democrat,
reached Paris too late for considera-
ton, the Senator was advised o-day by
Colonel e. M. House, of the American
peace delegation.
Colonel House said he was sure that
the amended draft as adopted by the
peace conference would be regarded by
Senator King as "better document
than the original.
ut must have been a source of sat-
isfaction to you" wrote Colonel House,
"to find the commission agreeing with
your views as to the advisability of
providing for unanimity, the right of
Withdrawal, the Monroe Doctrine and
the non-interference by the league in
purely internal affairs. Then, too, the
covenant has been changed as regards
logical arrangement and phraseology,
and | am sure that it will strike you
as better document"

II. S. Rhine Forces
Start Back When
Treaty Is Signed
IF Germans Refuse to Yield
Plans Will Be Materially
Changed; All Our Men
Ready to Return Soon

COBLENZ, May IL (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-If the Germans sign
the peace terms all the American
troops, except the Sd Corps and three
divisions and few headquarters units
will be out Of the occupied district OF
Germany by June /, or soon after that
date, according to reports in circula-
tion in Coblenz.
1t is understood that the 1st, I'd and
Sd Regular divisions will be those to
remain for the duties in connection
with turning over the area to French
control. If the Germans accept the
peace conditions, it is understood
preparations will begin Immediately
for the remaining three divisions tc
withdraw to France preparatory to
embarking for home.
General Pe-shing, when asked by the
correspondent on Monday what would
be the part Of the American army in
the event the Germans do not sign the
treaty, said it may be depended upon

all been an illusion and that the con-
fidence and hopes Of whole people
have been duped in manner unknown
to history. Even now optimists are
saying: Wilson will not permit it;
he dare not possibly permit it,"
The President added that ne and his
party could not blame the pan-Ger-
mans fore the "immodest haste with
which they are now digging up their
former speeches and editorials, in
which the Social Democrats and other
liberals were ridiculed for their belief
in President Wilson's programme"
Il and my colleagues" he said in
conclusion, upon whom rests the ter
rife burden of the Forthcoming deci-
sions, hope and pray the German
people who staked all on President
Wilson and the United States shall not
find themselves deceived. If, however,
the American democracy actually &C.
cepts the present peace terms as its
own, it becomes an accomplice and an
abettor of political blackmailers; it
surrenders the traditional American
principle of fair play and sportsman
ship and trails the ideals Of true de-
mocracy in the dust Notwithstanding
ing faith in the future of the German
people and in the unconquerability of
its soul.
Would Spread its Kultur
"This people, which has given the
world so much in science, learning and
industry, must not go down to oblivion
1t still has a cultural mission to per
form and ethical treasures to bestow.' -
President Ebert closed his statement
by declaring the present government
would "hold out to the last" and
secuted the idea that it would "make
room for others to accept or reject the
treaty"
1t was in the foregoing statement
that President Ebert made his declar-
alton that Germany had "unfurled a
new banner on which are inscribe
President Wilson's fourteen points
which the President apparently has de-
serted" This declaration, together
with few other brief expressions by
the German President in condemnation
of the peace treaty, was contained in a
short summary of the statement re-
ceived in this country Monday.

by the council of four to special COM
mittees.
The report of the committee on the
German note regarding changes in the
labor convention has been approved
and sent to the Germans. Close scru-
tiny Of the treaty revealed several
omissions. The council corrected one
of these by deciding to insert clause
providing for the withdrawal of repre-,
sentation on the reparations commits
sion on a twelve months notice.
The answers of the council Of four
to the German notes on prisoners of
war and labor subjects were delivered
this afternoon.
The German note on the question of
prisoners says:
"The German peace delegation
notes with satisfaction that the
project recognizes the principle Of
the return of prisoners of war and
civilians with the least possible de-
lay. The delegation deems that all
the details of the execution of this
measure ought to be submitted to a
special commission.
"Direct oral discussions between
the commission and nearly all the
belligerents' concerning prisoners of
war have been considered, even dur
ing hostilities, as the surest means
of solving the difficulties. 1t ought
to-day to be all the easier to recon
cile the different viewpoints and
clear up certain obscurities still ex-
listing OH certain details Of the
problem
"For instance, as a result Of the
diversity of the viewpoint of the law
in the different countries interested
the German delegation considers it in
dspensable that prisoners of war ane
the civilians undergoing penalties fol-
other infractions than those of disci
pline should be in a group that ough'
to be repatriated Internationally
Germany has recognized this principle
lians of the Allied and associated pow
ers in it's custody
"The German delegation deems i
necessary for reasons of equity to &C
cord certain improvements in thu
treatment of prisoners, military ant
civilian, pending the time when the.
may return to their own country"
The note presented by Count vo1
Brockdorf Rantzau, head of the Gee
man delegation, last night is the on
which it had been forecast he woult
send relative to Austria, according t.
the echo de Paris" 1t asks permis
sion for the German delegation to sent
three of its members to greet the Aus
trian plenipotentiaries upon their ar
rival atsSt. Germain.
The Council Of Four of the peac
conference appointed this afternoon
subcommittee comprising one membe
from each of the five great power
Great Britain, France, Italy, tn
United States and Japan to deal wit
objections and proposals from tn
German peace plenipotentiaries.
The Council of Four held a meetin
this morning, considering problem
relative to ports and waterways an
some details of the Austrian treaty.
The German peace delegation i
busy preparing voluminous counte
proposals for submission to the Allie
and associated powers as substitute
for terms of the peace treaty. Severa

"And yet the dangers of rejecting

BERLIN, May 14.-"Unacceptable,"
was the dominant note of the National
Assembly, when Chancellor Scheidemann
delivered his address there Monday. In
German the "unannehmbar" RI
has more forceble sound than in
English. 1t was first used by Scheide-
mann: "This treaty is unannehmbar."
This brought the first marked re-
sponse from the members. They
shouted "Bravo!" and then wave of
including the galleries, which gained in
volume until the whole house rose to
its feet and continued the demonstra-
ton.
Scheidemann, although reading from
manuscript, spoke in sharp, cutting
tones. frequently stirring the enthu-
siasm of the members, and finally took
his seat amid approving shouts.
Herr Mueller, of Breslau, a Majority
Socialist, reechoed scheidemann's
of the sitting things grew dull under
the droning Of uninteresting speakers
who were scarcely understapdable
from the galleries, owinA to the poor
acoustics Of the building, which had
been converted from a library into The
public hall of the university.
1t was here that in PALMER days
American exchange professors were
wont to give their initial lectures in
the presence of the Kaiser and his
snowy encourage. To-day's scene pre-.
sented a gloomy contrast to these gath
erings. The members assembled SLOWLY
and sulkily and were less disposed tC
gather in groups and hold CHEEKY gos
sip than is usual on such occasions.
Ministers occupying the "amen cor

memorable sitting impressed the audi
ence with the conviction that the gov.
ernment now was fully committed te

Oioing to almost unprecedented con-

foIlo,cing report of statement made

Sunday TO the Berlin correspondent of
The associated Press has just reached
the United States.
BERLIN, May II (By The Associated
Press)-Declaring that the terms of
peace presented by the Allied and as
sociated governments to Germany
contemplate the physical, moral and
intellectual paralysis of the German
people" that Germans were "hypno-
tized" by statements made by Presi-
dent Wilson, and that he, himself, is
looking forward to the future "with
gravest apprehensions," President
Ebert said to-day that he still hoped
that American democracy would not
accept the treaty framed at the peace
conference.
He rejected with disdain the sug-
gestion that the present German gov
ernment would resign rather than
accept or reject the terms. saying that
the government would "hold out to the

"The German people," President
Ebert continued, "is only beginning to

LONDON, May 14.-It is generally
conceded that the demand in the peace
treaty that Germany restore within six
months the skull of the Sultan Okwawa
to the British is piece Of diplomacy
which is intended to cause the natives
of the former German East African
province to feel kindly toward the Lon
don government.
Sultan Okwawa, paramount chief of
the Wehehe tribe in German East
Africa, was an uncompromising enemy
of the Germans, whom he fought seven
years. He committed suicide in 1898
and the Germans sent his head to
Berlin for exhibition.
Britain's intention undoubtedly is
to restore the late Sultan's skull to his
people, who are expected to. be duly
grateful.
