Berlin.-Germany declines TO sign
the peace terms which were laid before
ii because they spell the economic de
struction, political dislonor and moral
degradation of the entire German ma
tion, not only for the present, but also
for still unborn generations" accord
ing TO reports from Berlin, and the
following statement is given out:
THAT these consequences must logi-
cally follow acceptance of the peace
conditions, the American press itself
has recognized without question: the
statement continues. Toward them
Germany took the standpoint that ac-
ceptance in such conditions could not
be demanded and that the entente was
unjustified in imposing such de-
mandS.
ut is not the German peoples bust
ness how it's rights shall De realized
by the fourteen points, ~ especially
by the note of Secretary Lansing.
That, rather, is the task of those who
constructed the fourteen points and
drought llfIl W d'ftl'idl'f. ihtlfiN
inducing Germany to lay down her
weapons. We do not believe that Pres
ident Wilson, Secretary Lansing and
the American people can take other
than this German standpoint, if they
do not wish 10 do that which Presi-
dent Wilson in his message of Dec. 1,
1917, condemned categOrically when he
said: W. would dishonor our own
cause if we treated Germany any other
tliah justly and in a non-partisan man
ner and did not insist upon justice to-
ward all, no matter how the wal end
ed. We demand nothing which we are
not ready ourselves Ia admit
And the German people demand
nothing more than that which prcSi-
dent Wilson announced in this declara-
tion. We demand nothing more than
that Americans place the fourteen
points opposite the peace terms. We
do not believe that any one in the
United States will then have the cou
age to claim that there can be found
in the peace conditions one single
trace left of President Wilson's pro
gram.

telling us We would land in the States
and then they rousted us between

We had only been there a short time
when some Of the German officers came
down and asked II any Of the men
would volunteer to 60 firing ON the
Yarrowdale and we almost mobbed
them to take us. They began putting
down the names Of the men who were
to 60 and talked them into putting
mine down too. Then felt about

Five O'Clock came and BY that time
I had forgotten to do any worrying.
We received our usual rations and
most Of US who had volunteered ng-
ured that we would receive clothes
and shoes. In the morning an oflcer
came down below and read out the
names Of those who were to 60 and I
felt even lighter when he called mine.
We were each given . life belt and
mustered on deck.
The sea was pretty nasty and some
Of the men had narrow escapes from
falling between the Moewe and the
lifeboats when the swells rocked us.
One man fell from the ladder and
broke his neck on the gunwale Of the

We were all there. Then they mus

start anything. because they had .

brought over several boatloads Of hard
tack and we threw 1t into No. 8 hold.
This was to be our food for some time.
