LIBERATED CITIES OF
FRANCE REJOICE

PARIS, June 23.-(Monday) BY
Associated Press )-Celebrations
over the German decision to sign
the peace treaty without reservation
were nowhere more enthusiastic than
at Lille and other cities and towns
in the territory wrested from the
Germans.
In Paris the city hall was brilliant
ly lighted, Jazz bands appeared and
informal balls began, only to be stop
ped by unsympathetic poilus who
declared that dancing was not au
thorized except on July IA.
1t wasn't long after the reply had
been opened before the supreme
council that guns began to boom
from forts around Paris and reioic-
ing crowds began to stream through
the streets. Allied flags appeared as
if by magic from windows.
Plans for Hle ceremony attending
the signing of the treaty were con.
sidered by the council today. The
plenipotentiaries will be seated on the
dias in the Hall of Mirrors of the
Chateau at Versailles. The program
doesn't contemplate any set addresses
but it is believed possible that Chair
man Clemenceau and the German
representative may make short
speeches.

GERMANS, ACCEPTING
STILL DENOUNCE TERMS

PARIS, June 24.-(By Associated
Press. THE signing of the peace
treaty is not likely to take place be-
fore Thursday. This announcement
was made last night by Premier Gle
menceau and Secretary Dutasta.
In declaring it's intel ion to accept
and sign the peace terms, the govern
ment of the German republic has
sent the following note to M. Glenn
enceau, president of the Peace Con-
ference, through DIR. Haniel Won
Haimhausen:
"The minister of foreign affairs
has instructed me to communicate to
your excellency the following:
'1t appears to the government of
the German republic, in consterna-
ton at the last communication of the
Allied and associated governments
have decided to wrest from Germany
by force acceptance of the peace
conditions, even those which, without
presenting any material significance
aim at divesting the German people
of their honor.
''No act of violence can touch the
honor of the German people. The
German people, after frightful suf-
fering in these last years, have no
means of defending themselves by
external action.
Yielding to superior force and
without renouncing in the meantime
its own view of the unhear1 of in
justice of the peace conditions the
government of the German republic
declares that it is ready to accept
and sign the peace conditions i'm
posed.
please accept, Mr.. President, as
surance of my high consideration.

KAISER TURNS TO
ARCHAEOLOGY TO
FORGET POSITION

AMERONGEN-( Correspondence
of Associated Press. "A resumption
of his former interest in archaeology
is one of the means adopted recently
by the former German Emperor to
keep his mind from dwelling con-
stantly on his position. Professor Du-
erpfeld, one of the most eminent
archaeologists of Germany, came to
Join the Hohenzollern circle month
or so ago and since his arrival has
spent several hours every afternoon
in his former monarch's company.
Every phase of archaeological re-
searches is discussed during these
conversations, in the course of which
the professor entertains the exile with
details of the discoveries made by
him and his companions in Palestine
Syria and other sections of the Near
East. The professor is an old COM
panion of Hohenzollern with whom
he spent some time on the Island OF
Corfu, where the one-time Germa
ruler owned the Castle of Achilleion.
Even at the dinner table archaeol-
ogy is now the main subject of con-
versation, for reference to War Is
tacitly taboo when the erstwhile en-
peror and his consort join the family
circle of the Bentincks. On these oc-
casions both Hohenzollern and his
immediate suite, including the body
physicians, DR.. Forester and Prof
Duerpfeld, wear military uniforms.
The Bentincks, although some of the
members of the family have the right
to wear uniform, always appear in
civilian dress.
At present the entire suite excep'
the Marshal of the Court Won Cont
ard, reside outside the castle either
in the village inns or in rented cot
tages. All of them have full liberty
of movement about Holland, but their
appearance passes entirely unnoticed
as they never travel in uniform.

2 NEGROES HELD AFTER
FIERCE FIGHT AT CAMP

Two husky negroes, who have been
working at Souther Field, are held
at The county Jail today on charge S
of assault with intent to murder
each other, having been bound over
to the higher court this morning by
Justice of the Peace Griffin after q
hearing. The negroes were Arthur
Jones, held under $500 bond and
William Turner, bond fixed at $500.
According to the stories told, Tur-
ner and Jones were riding on truck
near the camp yesterday when con-
troversy arose over whether the truck
should stop for a white man who
called to the white driver to wait and
let him ride. Turner picked up piece
of scantling and hurled it at Jones
who grabbed a rock. and threw it
Turner. The latter dropped flat onto
the truck in time to permit the rock
to go sailing over him and STRIKE
James Harvey, another negro in the
head, inflicting injuries from which
it was feared today he might not re-

Judge 2. A. Littlejohn. of the Su-
perior court, in chambers today grant
ed an order, applied for by Shipp &
Sheppard, attorneys for the creditors
and bondholders, to sell at receivers
sale, at public auction on the first
Tuesday of September next, the prop
erty of the Y. M. c. A., located at
the corner of Church and Jackson
streets and now occupied by the War
Camp Community Service as Sol
diers' club. The court authorized
sale of the property at private sale
prior to the advertised date, subject
to the approval Of the court. The
terms of the sale we're fixed at 10
per cent. of the purchase price to be
paid on the day of sale, 10 per cent.
more to be paid when the sale is con-
frmed by the court, and the balance
within IL months from the date of
the sale, with interest at s per cent.
1t appeared in the showing to the
court that there is only about $4,000
of debt on the association that need
ed to be cleared to save this valuable
property. The creditors stated, how
ever, that no interest had been paid
to them within the last three years.
State Secretary Johnson, of the Y.
M. C. A, came here from Atlanta and
appeared at the hearing. He remain
ed in the city to confer today with a
number of prominent men to see if
the property could not yet be saved
from the block. Judge Littlejohn set
the sale for September, instead of
August, as prayed for by the credi-
tors, in order to give the people of
Americus another opportunity to pay
the debt and save this property. Sec
retary johnson stated to the court
that if the property was put on the
block it would probably sell for a
small sum, although in his opinion
the building could not be replaced for
less than $4,000.
The Salvation army short time
ago, when contemplating the es-
tablishment of a corps of workers
here, made an effort to procure the
Y. M. c. A. property, but for some
reason the effort was dropped. 1t
has been suggested lately that the
property is well suited for santa
rum. The Masonic Lodge of Americas
has been discussing the purchase of
the building, but it has been decided
that, on account of the arrangement
of the architecture large room could
not be made of the upper story az
the Masons desire.
T. o. Marshall who has been re-
ceiver for the property for some time
will conduct the sale as ordered.
