NEGOTIATE TERMS.

BERLIN.-The German cabinet in
a special session this morning, after
considering the second telegram from
Georges Clemenceau, the French pre-
mier, president of the peace confer
ence in Paris, correcting the false
impression created by his first note,
decided that the peace delegation
originally appointed should go to Yer
sallles at the end Of the present
week. 1t was determined that the
date of April rs, first fixed for the
arrival of the German representatives
at Versailles, could not be adhered
to because of the confusion over the
arrangements.

gram reached the foreign Office last
evening but was not considered off
cially until this morning. In it the
French premier said his original mott
ficatlon regarding the German repre-
sentatlves had been misconstrued and

immediately determined to revoke it's
decision to send DR.. Haniel Won Hahn
hansen, with pair of subordinates,
in his role Of high class messenger to
Paris, and reverted to its intention
of sending six delegates to the Yer
sailles congress, headed by Count Won

SAID TO BE READY TO RESTORE
LINES 70 OWNERS. REVE-
NUES AT LOWEST EBB.

The railroad situation in the Unit
ed States has become such that Pres
ident Wilson is said to be contem-
plating an early return of the lines
to their former owners. When the
transfer will be made is not known,
but in Washington it is reported
that Walker D. Hines, director gen

president that Dec. 81, 1919, is the
earliest date on which the change
can be made without embarrassment
either to +he roads themselves or to
the general business situation.

Joe Calvin finished the game for the
Mechanics, and he likewise allowed
only one hit.
The Mechanics hit Coburn fire.
Gaently and hard. Eddings got a
three-bagger, on which ne scored
when the infield fumbled the throw
in. Pernoll made two base hit.
Coburn struck out two; Frye, three;

Both teams had to use substitutes.

for the Mechanics hit the ball three
times, one safely. sacrifice and an
infield out. Bearss made a fine stop
OF Blevins' grounder, then lost the
ball just at his feet long enough to
allow Blevins safe at first.
