Whether the railroad operators will
be called out on sympathetic strike

ATTITUDE OF GERMAN
DELEGATION NOT CLEAR

Paris, June 12.-(By The A. P.) The
attitude of the German delegation on
the signing Of the treaty is not clear,
because the delegates as yet are una
ware of the exact nature of the in
strument they are called upon to rat
ify, owing to the conflicting earlier
reports on the extent of the modifica-
tions accorded them.
The French, who alone had an op-
portunity of sounding the members of
the German delegation informally on
the prospective changes, believe that
neither the present delegation nor the
present government will sign, but they
look for the immediate installation of
a Radical Socialist administration,
which will accept the treaty.
