demanding verbal discussions, dis
patch from Berlin say. President Fehr'

Versailles.-The German delegates
to the peace conference complained
bitterly to one of the French liaison
officers of the unexpected harshness
of the conditions of peace. The dele

in many respects would be far-reach-

HUNS ASSAIL
PEACE TERMS
FAIL TO REALIZE ENoRMiTY
OF THEIR CRIMES, AND JUS
TIcE OF TERMS.
President Of Imperial Ministry De-
cIares Armistice Terms Have Brought
Bitterest Disappointment and un-
speakable Grief to Entire People.

Berlin.-The people, though fairly
stricken dumb by the peace terms, now
are recovering sufficiently to declare
that Germany can not and VIII not
sign the compact, no matter what
comes.
Strikes are Increasing and Bolshev-
ism and the Spartacan uprising OF
the past two months have, IL any
thing. made Germans immune TO the
possible horrors which are to be an
ticipated if they are again plunged
into war, according to the best opin-
ion here.
There exists a small group OF Ger
mans, chiefly conservatives, VINO pre-
fer to see the Entente occupy the
whole country than to have 1t BOZ
shevik, but they are in the dWindllng
minority.
"There is only one Immediate solu-
tion-peace with Russia and the use
of Bolshevik troops for Germany
Herr Geisberts, one of the German
delegates at Versailles, is quoted by
the Neue Zeitung, as having declared
with reference to the peace terms.
The President of the Imperial Min
istry has sent the following telegram
TO the Governments of the free states ::
"In deep distress and weighed down
by cares the German people nave
waited through the months OF the
armistice for the peace conditions
Their publication has brought the
bitterest disappointment and unspeak-
able grief to the entire people.
"A public expression ought to be
given these feelings by all Germans.
The Imperial Government requests
that the free states have public amuse-
ment suspended for week ana allow
In the matters only such productions
as correspond to the seriousness OF
these grievous days"
Reports from the Versailles CORE
spondents emphasize the feeling OF
gamazement and excitement which pre-
vailed on the reading of the terms OF
the peace treaty. All the correspond
ents agree that no hasty decision VIII
be reached. A fortnight is allowed
the Germans for an answer, ana thlS
sime will be used for careful consld-
GRAFTON of the demands and the pre-
marathon of counter suggestions, the
correspondents say.
There is much speculation In Berlin
as to whether the terms represent
maximum demands which may be re-
duced or whether they are minimum
and irreducible.
According to the Berlin ZeltunG
Mittag the delegation at Versailles Will
carefully avoid any bargaining, but
will present definite, clear-cut counter
propositions, which in part have al
ready been prepared.
