quans who witnessed the antics of a
monster hawk that attempted to out
do the stunts of an aviator here.
The human flyer had circled over
the town nearly fifteen minutes,
when suddenly a pair of hawks ap-
peared at great height close to the
aviator and apparently, according to
their position, intently watching the
latter's evolutions. Then one of the
birds made dive toward the earth
and in the sight of a great crowd of
people who were viewing the flyers
maneuvers executed a series that
soon turned the attention of the
spectators from the aviator to the
hawk, which did the spiral glide, the
loop-the-loop, the dip Of death and
many other feats.
The hawk kept up its performance
as long as the aviator was in sight,
and when the latter flew away the
bird rejoined its mate and disap-
peared amid the applause of the
crowd.-New York Evening Sun.

BEYOND GERMANY'S POWERS,
SAYS BRocKDoRFF-RANTZAU.
Sends Note to Allies Outlining Coun-
ter-Proposals of Ger
many.

Washington, June 2.-Execution of

more than the German people can
bear" by Count Won Brockdorff Rant
Eau, head of the German peace delega-
ton, in note to the associated gov
ernments outlining the German coun-
ter-prOpOsals.
Count BrockdOrff- RantZau in his
note, the text of which was made pub
lie by the state department, further
asserts:
THE more deeply we penetrate into
the spirit of this treaty, the more con-
vinced we become of the impossibility
of carrying 1t out.
with view to the re-establish-
ment of the Polish state we must re-
nounce Indlsputably German territory,
nearly the whole of the province of
West Prussia, which is preponderantly
German; Of Pomerania, Danzig. which
is German to the core. We must let
the ancient Hanse town be trans
formed into free state under Polish
suzerainty.
1--WE must agree that East Prussia
shall be amputated from the body of
the state, condemned to lingering
death and robbed OF its northern pOr-
ton, including Memel, which is purely
German. We must renounce Upper

very foundation of industrial life
throughout east Germany.
''Preponderantly German circles
(Kreise) must be coded to Belgium.
Although the exaction of the cost
of the war has been expressly re-
nounced, as yet Germany, thus cut in
pieces and weakened, must declare
herself ready In principle TO bear all
the war expenses Of her enemies
which would amount many times over
the total amount of German state and
private assets.
"In spite of the eXorbitant demands
the reconstruction of our economic life
Is at the same time rendered impos-
sible. We must surrender our mer-
chant fleet. We are to renounce all
foreign securities. We are to hand
over to our enemies our property In all
German enterprises abroad, even IN
the countries of our allies.
"Even after the conclusion of peace
the enemy states are to have the right
of confiscating all German property
No German trader in their countries

ures We must completely renounce
our colonies. and not even German
missionaries shall have the right to
follow their calling therein. We must

aims in the spheres of politics, eco
