TREA I I Y
 MA Y BE REFUSED

BERLIN, June 17-(P)-It is impos- sibie for Germany to sign the peace terms even in their revised state according to the impression formed by those who are now engaged in transIating the allies reply into the German language. 1t is believed that the German peace delegation has been very much disappointed in the revised treaty, expecting many more concessions would be granted by the allied nations. Nothing official has been said regarding the terms by any Of the authorized peace delegates.
 Because of the demonstration made by a large crowd of French people as the German delegation was board ing the train at Versailles, it is possible that Count Brockdorff Rant zau will not return to that city. The Germans were jeered and hooted by the popuIace gathered on the station platform. Several stones were thrown, two members of the German party receiving slight cuts from the mis- sIes.

Plans to Start Early Next Month
WILL DELIVER ADDRESS TO CON GRESS IMMEDIATELY AFTER ARRIVAL; TOUR FOR THE PUR. POSE OF EXPLAINING LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT.

WASHINGTON, June 17-R)-The twenty.fourth or twenty-fifth of June has been tentatively set as the date for the Presidents ship to sail from Brest for New York. These plans are based upon a supposition that the Germans will sign the peace terms and their refusal will possibly mean that President Wilson will be de- layed in leaving France. The Ger mans are allowed until June 23 to decide on the treaty and President Wilson hopes to leave within twenty four hours after that date.
 His present plans include a three weeks speaking tour turnout this country which will embrace the ma jority of the large cities. His itiner- ary has already been planned by Joseph Humility. The trip will be made for the purpose of explaining direct to the American people all questions relative to the league of nations and the peace treaty. Unless something unforeseen intervenes, the trip will start in the early part of July. Probably the first official act of the President after arriving at home will be to address congress. This address will be made before he departs on his speaking tour.

 SEATTLE. June 17-R)-A special despatch to the Post-Intelligencer from it's Washington correspondent says that President Wilson's itinerary includes vists to Seattle, Spokane and Portland. where he will deliver speeches explaining the league of na- tions covenant and the German peace treaty.

!.
Georgia Senator Tells Farmers tc
Stand Together.

New Orleans, Sept. 8.-Declarlng
the Southeastern States would today
be in a vastly more prosperous con-
dition if they had never raised bale
of cotton, Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, in an address late today be-
fore the meeting of cotton growers,
factors and bankers, urged the neces-
sty of holding cotton until the de-
mand created a satisfactory price.
81 earnestly hope" said the Geor-
gia senator, "that the farmers will
quit raising cotton in America un-
less they can receive a vastly better
price for it: You must stand togeth-
er, collectively organized by counties
and hold your cotton until it brings
you price that will compensate for
the labor put into it's culture. The
cotton farmer should during the COM
ing season receive at least as high a
price for his cotton as that at which
cotton has sold at any time during
the past IL months"
He advised farmers to keep new
cotton off the market entirely dur
ing September and from the first of
October on to sell slowly, only as
manufacturers needed it. ''In the
meantime" he said, "while gradually
selling your cotton, plant foodstuffs
and raise cattle and hogs. Let the
world understand that you will meet
the situation next fall, Independent
and owning your cotton"
He endorsed the cooperative prin-
ciples of the American Cotton asso-
citation and referred to the cotton
question as national, not sectional.
A minimum price recommendation
will be submitted to the meeting to-
morrow by a commiattee appointed
today by j. S. Wannamaker, presi-
dent of the American Cotton associ-
alton, under whose auspices the two
day meeting is being held here.
