Uncertain Attitude of Germany
Toward the Peace Treaty Up
to Friday, June 20.
SCHEIDEMANN CABINET out
Foch Ready for Invasion From Three
Sides-Turks Ask That Their Coun-
try Be Left lntact-Americans
Cross Mexican Border and
Punish the ViIIistas-
By EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

1--WE had better sign the treaty and
have done with 1t. But whether we
sign it or not, the worst is yet to
come; and we refuse to cheer up"
That was apparently the attitude
of the greater part of the German peo-
pie on Friday, June 20, when this re-
view was written. However, at that
time it was impossible to forecast the
action that would be taken by the Ger
man government, and the news col
umns will tell whether the treaty was
signed or rejected, by Monday June
%, at 40 p. M, Paris time, when the
time limit given the Germans expired.
Friday morning came the news that
the Scheidemann cabinet had fallen
and that Gustav Noske, minister of de-
Tense, was to become head jofsthe new
government. This was taken to mean
that the treaty would be signed, as
Scheidemann had been the chief op-
ponent of such a course. 1t was be-
lieved that the rule Of NOske would
amount to dictatorship. Another
story was that Bernstorff would sue
coed Brockdorff-Rantzau as head of
the commission
Disappointed, dismayed and thor
oughly angered by the final refusal of
the allies to ameliorate to any marked
extent the terms imposed on them, the
Germans ragged impotently against
their fate. Count Won Brockdorff
Rantzau and his colleagues on the
peace commission united In advising
the cabinet to refuse to sign the treaty,
the cabinet to refuse to sign the treaty.
In the national assembly at Wei
mar, where the treaty was to be con-
sidered, the majority socialists, 1t was
believed, would vote for signing, and
it was believed the Catholic center
and Independent socialist parties also
would finally agree to accept the terms
Throughout the former empire
sentiment was diverse. The south
ern states, which would suffer most
from invasion, were in favor of yield
ing, while the northern provinces, es-
peciaIly East Prussia, were strongly
opposed TO such a course. Naturally,
the old pan-German element was bit
terly against the treaty, but that ele-
ment no longer rules in Germany.

Senator Knox's resolution designed
to separate the peace treaty from the
League Of Nations covenant was the
subject Of hot debate in the senate, Mr..
Knox himself leading the way In a
speech that was forceful and impress
sive. whatever one may think of the
correctness of his views He attacked
the covenant as destructive of human
progress and liberty citing especially
"the pernicious provisions embodied in
article 10 which are designed to fix
through all time-and merit is made of
this purpose Of the provlsion-the
boundaries set up by the treaty Of
peace"

There was some improvement In the
bolsheviki situation and consequently
less apprehension on the part of the
peace conference. A national con
gress of Hungarian soviets, over which
Bella Kun presided, appealed to the
French proletariat to aid Hungary and
Russia in their revolution for lib
erty." The progress of the Hungarian
communist troops against the Czechs
and Roumanians was checked, and the
reports from Russia contained no
alarming news. The White Guards
that are moving on Petrograd succeed
ed in destroying an important fort
across the bay from Kronstadt, and
again it was reported that the boshe-
wiki were preparing to evacuate Petro-
grad.

They asserted Turkey was forced into

for the preservation of Turkey intact

The German peace ENJOYS had an
unpleasant time last week. On their
departure from Versailles with the
final draft of the treaty they were as
sailed by a mob and several of them
were injured by thrown stones-an I'M
fortunate occurrence for which the
French authorities made ample
apology. No sooner had the ENJOYS
reached Weinar thar sefne 81 sStt spar
tacan prisoners, released from The jail
there, attacked the castle where the
members of the government live. It
was their intention, apparently to
seize Ebert, Scheiderlann and Noske,
but they made so much noise that the
surprise assault failed and the troops
drove off the Spartacans. The Ger
mans considered this occurrence more
important than 1t appeared to be on
the surface.

BLACK Hawks BONES
REST AT SALT LAKE

Salt Lake City, Oct. 6.-The
bones of Chief Black Hawk who
played havoc with settlers in Utah
in the early COS are now resting
peacefully in the Desert Museum, in
the Mormon Temple grounds in this
city. The skeleton was brought from
an Indian burial ground near Spring
Lake Villa, Utah county. this state.
and with all the accouterments Of
Indian burial, now reposes in a glass
case in the Mormon church museum.
The curator of the museum has made
every effort to prove to a certainty
that the bones are those OF the fa-
nous Indian chief, and the evidence
he has gathered seems to prove their
authenticity. These include affiday-
its of early settlers who witnessed
the funeral procession of the chief.
Black Hawk is said to have died
in 1870 as the result of wound re-
ceived in fight with white settlers
several years previous. Prior to his
death, it is said, he visited towns in
the section he had harassed and
made peace with all of his enemies
From veterans of the raids made
by Black Hawks bands, it is declar.
ed the Black Hawk wars of Utah be.
gan in 1854 when small band OF
Indians encamped near Gunnison
San Pete county, Utah, suffered an
epidemic OF smallpox and blamed
the white settlers for it. The In
dians attacked small settlements in
numerous communities. Women and
children we're tortured. children car
ried away and much property devas
tated, according to the stories OIL
the old settlers. This continued I'M
til about 1872, it is said, when the
Indians, hard pressed by soldiers
acknowledged the superiority of the
white man,

GERMANS PUT ENGLISH
BUSINESS ON SHELF

Longton, Eng, Oct. 6.--The Brit
ish pottery trade has taken alarm
at the appearance of German china
in the stores OF the pottery district
at prices which. manufacturing
potters declare they cannot ap-
proach. Even in this city, with its
important pottery industry, German
ware is being offered below the cost
of local manufacture.
These German goods, it is stated,
are being represented as of Dutch
manufacture, but a member of the
English China Manufacturers asso-
citation said that no such china was
manufactured in Holland.
The price of the German goods is
fully so per cent under the cost of
local production and this in Long
ton. the real home of English china
IF it is true. as has often been
said" said a pottery manufacturer,
that Germany has been accumulat-
ing vast stocks of manufactured
goods during the war, 1t is possible
she has been passing them over the
Dutch border in exchange for butter
and cheese. In that case the pros
pect of wholesale dumping" from
that quarter, added to the certainty
of severe direct German competition
in home and overseas markets will
create a serious situation for the
English china manufacturer"

FIRE PREVENTION
DAY IS OCTOBER 8

Portland, Oct. 4.-October 8, 1919.
has been designated for this year
as Patriotic Fire Prevention Day"
a day set apart for serious consider
alton OF our tremendous fire waste,
and the adoption OF adequate and
permanent means OF prevention says
A. c. Barber, state fire marshal.
The French people have said of
we Americans: THAT we are mighty
builders and mighty burners" and
so we are. not Intentionally or Grim
inally, hut negligently and careless
ly.
This Is indeed an age OF great
achievement and economic reforms,
and foremost Is the immense saving
OF property and life that can be ac-
complished by the prevention of
fire.
Reforms come from change of
mind and a change OF mind can only
come by constant mental effort.
Therefore, think fire prevention,
talk fire prevention. and practice
fire prevention. not only on October
,, but on through the year until next
fire prevention day, and then start
over again. Never relax your eau
ton against the ever present danger
Of fire on your own premises. In that
way you will not only make It habit
with yourself but will influence 9TH
ers, and we will all reap the bene-
fit.
Make 1t a point on fire prevention
