 Germany's counter proposals to the peace treaty of the allied and associated powers, comprising volume of goodly proportions, are in readiness for presentation to the peace congress at Versailles. No official announcement has as yet been made of the time when Count Won Brockdorff-Rantzau will appear before the representatives of the victors in the war to make Germany's final plea for the ameli- oration of some of the conditions of the treaty, which are declared to be too severe for fuffiIiment, but the time cannot be extended beyond noon of Thursday when the limit for reply expires.
 Late dispatches from Berlin indi- cate that the German document is to contain manifold representatio and arguments for a Iessening of the severity of the terms,C not alone from the financial and economic standpoints, but also with regard to disarmament, both on land and sea, with a plan for mutualizing under the league of nations war craft and merchant shipping of the worlds nations. Territorial rclin- quishments also are to be argued against.
 Friday is to witness the receipt by the Austrians of the terms of the peace treaty that has been formulated for the former empire of the Hapsburgs. The plea of the chief of the Austrian delega-

Enlisted Men Endorse AQe-Herdld Editorial
 On Soldiers in Politics
Returned Soldiers Outspoken in Reference to the Political Situation-Solder Qualified for Office Will Receive Support of Comrades is Stated-Want Clean Politics and Honest Officials, But Do
 Not Seek Control

Further endorsement of the recent editorial of The Age Herald suggesting that the vet erans of the world war inter est themselves in politics, was made yesterday when a num- Der of the frank and file" gave outspoken interviews on the subject.
 The improvement of politics generally and the selection of good men for office. was the keynote of the interviews, ra- ther than electing a man for office be- cause of service, but they let it be plain ly known that the soldier, qualified to fill a political position, would receive their hearty support should he enter the lists.
 The following statements by returned service men, all of whom had served in the ranks, were made to Age-Herald re- porters yesterday:
 PRIVATE LOUIS NELSON
 Private Louis Nelson of Birmingham who was in the medical detachment Of the 167th infantry is a strong advocate of the soldier in politics. The men who went to the front and fought for their country certainly should take interest enough in matters at home to see that only the best material is selected for offices" he said. T would not advocate electing man to office simply because he had served in the army, the navy or the marine, but want the best man to hold office, and I conceive it to be the duty of the veterans to help put hini there"
 MT. Nelson stated that of the 50 men in his detachment when they went into the service only 10 came out whole some were killed, some wounded and others gassed.
 PRIVATE R. H. JOPLIN
 Private B. H. Loflin of Birmingham Company F, 155th infantry, had a copy of The Age-Herald editorial urging world war veterans to become interested in politics, in bis hands when approached by an Age-Henld reporter T heartlly indorse the editorial'' he said. We went into the war to make the world free TOT democracy, and it is our duty to see that our own country is kept free for her peo- ple We want clean politics, ana the best men possible in office. The soldiers got a new vision during their service and | am sure they are better men foi it. and their influence in politics shouic not only be felt, but it should be exerteo towards securing just laws and an hon est administration of them"

PRIVATE FRANK LEyERTON

Private Frank Leverton of Company L. goth infantry, said: "The veterans of the world war will take an active part in politics when they all return from overseas and I am of the opin ion these men who have fought for this country should be elected to the of fees to which they aspire if they are men capable of handling the affairs of our country. I do not believe any sol dier or sailor would support man unable to fill the office. I am glad to know a soldier has announced for Con - gress and I sincerely hope he is elected"

PRIVATE THOMAS WEIR
PETTY OFFICER M'KINLEY

William Mckinley, first-class petty officer of Brighton, recently discharged from service, said: q believe the sol- diers and sailors who have taken part in the world war should be elected to office when they are capable and e. ficient men. These men will certainly stick together and will support an ex service man rather than a civilian, that is if they think he is the right man for the place"

 q believe The Age-Herald is right he said "The men who served in either branch of the service during the war will demand honest elections. honest or- ficials and laws that will help and pro- tect all the people. We do not want to control politics, and l feel quite sure. none of us would be so unreasonable as to demand that only soldiers be elected to office, but we. will require of the can didates we support that they be capn- ble, honest and willing to render the best service possible
 PRIVATE LUCIUS SPENCER
 Private Lucius Spencer of the 1e7th machine gun company, Rainbow division, said: While I know very little about the political game at present I am glad to know an overseas soldier has an nounced for congress to succeed the late Congressman Burnett. Although we would not wish to place the affairs of this great nation in incompetent hands. am of the opinion that if the man is capable he will certainly be supported by the soldiers, that is, if the policy he en- dorses insures the protection of their in terests. I feel sure that the veterans of the world war will take an active part in future politics.
 CHIEF YEOMAN RAY Chief Yeoman Ray of the local United States naval recruiting station said: 'In my opinion a soldier if capable should be given the preference over | any other candidate for office. These | men have fought for their country ana deserve some consideration. I don'r think soldiers or sailors would elect an l incompetent man to fill the office for military reasons, as it is most i'm portant that we elect capable and eff I ficient men to handle the affairs of l our government, state or city" PRIVATE A. S. JOHNSTON | Private A. S. Johnston of the Uni versity of Alabama, speaking of the part in which soldiers should take in 1 politics, said: ''Of course soldiers should be instrumental in bringing politics in the United States up to their proper standard. The soldiers have i learned as never before since they
 have been in the army, that the only way to get thing is yo after it Tn
 the right way. I say take hold of pol itics and oust the grafter. The oppor- tunity to condemn him is knocking a our door in louder tone than it has
 ever knocked before and the soldiers should take advantage of it."
 PRIVATE THOMAS WEIR
 Private Thomas Weir of Birming ham said: q was impressed with tho editorial appearing in The Age-Herald a few days ago concerning the soldier: and politics It is not a question O benefit to the soldier especially, but i is to benefit every citizen of our coun try, that the soldiers take an active part in Lettering politics"
