The President, EBERT"
: On the 18th of May, Ministerial
: President Scheidemann addressing
| the National Assembly made quite
/ an appeal to the German people
against the acceptance of the peace
} terms. His attack took the form
: mainly of pronunciation against the
taking from Germany of her terri
tory, Alsace-Lorraine, the Saar Dis
trict, the colonies, a ndPoland. He
denounced President Wilson and held
him false for promising peace bas-
ed on the famous IA points, then fail
ing to keep the promise. (This al
ways on grounds that Germany's bor-
ders are restricted.) There were
dramatic moments when all rose in
indication of approval. One of these
when Scheidemann declared: eve
must stand together; we are of one
flesh, one blood, and he who seeks !
to break us asunder, cuts with his
murderous knife into the living flesh
of the German people" Again he
stated to his impressed audience:
"We have submitted counter-propos-
itions. We will make more of them.
We believe that with them we
may come TO an understanding. This
treaty is in the opinion of the govern,
ment unacceptable, so unacceptable
that scarcely believe that the world
could bear it, but instead, out of the
upon millions of Threats of
all nations without consideration of 4
party, all would cry aloud, down
with this proposal of murder.
In Berlin, there have been many
demonstrations against the accep-
;ance of the peace terms. One of the
most belligerent inclined, according
% the press, was meeting under
he auspices of the German officers
lon-commissioned officers and enlist
ID mems Union at Circus Busch.
This meeting was addressed by Ma
or and Baron v. Reibnitz, who
tated, "Ten million volunteers be-
ore we allow our children to starve !
o death" His son, a first lieutenant,
hen spoke to the eject that the be-
inning of new war would cost
lillion more lives, but that it would
e better to die like men if in doing
10 the children were avenged, and
While doing this couple of million '
# the enemy would be killed. err G
erger, the fool" he said, "has Civ
n away all our arms to a Jew Gov y
rnment" he added bitterly. Count d
on Bernstorff was chairman of the
leeting. +
In Berlin there have been several
against Allied officers

lost serious is described below; the :,
