States. who. spent the night at the
Selwyn hotel. said there is no doubt
that the Germans will sign the peace

ty for victory in 1920. He expressed

grafton laws Of this country should

allegiance to the United States who
have been German secret service men

still in the pay OF German reaction
aries who are seeking to create troubla
