PEACE TERMS
Political Parties Arc
Unanimous in Their
Protests.
TREATY REFERRED TO
As VERDICT OF DEATH

Berlin, Saturday, May 1o.-(By the
Associated Press The protests that
came thruout Germany over the peace
terms as they were represented before
the official terms became known, are as
nothing in comparison with the wave Of
angry, bitter disappointed remonstrance
that is sweeping over Germany now that
the treaty has been presented
States. municipalities, districts, bust
ness mems and women's clubs and the
political parties are vying with each 9th
er in finding wards to express scorn
and condemnation for the document.
For perhaps the first time in history
all the German parties are united in
opinion, each Of them assailing the
terms The independent socialist party
does not appear TO agree with Its or
gan, Die Freiheit, that Germany should
sign the peace on the terms presented.
The newspapers are utterly swamped
with protests.
The socialists are urged to this by the
Tageblatt, which says the unfliendly at
titude toward the treaty taken by the so
dalsts of other countries will not be of
assistance, because they are in the NIL
nority in their countries.
The government IS being overwhelmed
with kilograms.
In the criticisms, President Wilson is
only mildly assailed, since word has gone
to the press from official quarters that
he is not TO be taken to task The as
seruons upon which stress are laid are
that the proposed peace lacks all e4e-
ments of justice and conforms in no way
to the presidents II points, while indig-
nation is expressed over terms charact-
erized as unbearable and as spelling slav-
cry for the German people. Some of the
protestants declare they are outraged
By the provisions of the treaty. while
others express deep contempt for what
they call brutal peace of force" The
expression "a verdict OF death" is one
