GERMANS in ANGER
AGREE TO SIGN TERMS
"UNHEARD OF INJUSTICE
SAYS NOTE OF HANIEL

In declaring its intention to accept
and sign the peace terms, the Govern
ment Of the German Republic has sent
THE following note to M. Clemenceau,
President Of the Peace Conference
through DR.. Hanierv Won Haimhausen:
"The Minister Of Foreign Affairs
has instructed me to communicate to
Your Excellency the following:
"'It appears to the Government of
the German Republic, in CONSERVATION
at thu last communication of the AL
lied and Associated Governments,
that these Governments have decided
to wrest from Germany by force ac-
ceptance of the Peace Conditions,
even those which, without presenting
any material significance, aim at di-
vesting the German people of their
honor.
No act of violence can touch the
honor of the German people. The
German people, after frightful suf-
fering in these last years, have no
means of defending themselves by ex-
ternal action.
Yielding to superior force, and
without renouncing in the meantime
its own view Of the unheard of injus-
tice Of the peace conditions, the Gov
eminent of the German Republic de-
clares that it is ready to accept and
sign the peace conditions imposed
! please accept, Mr. President, as
surances of my high consideration.
(Signed) won HANlEL."
Germany will sign this day and
! that day sounds like boys play. The
facts are we know little Of conditions
in Europe and the dispatches sent
out over the country are mostly guess
work
1t, is now stated that the Treaty of
Peace will be signed on Friday at 2

Bat be patient. heart SO lonely.
Dry thy tears, oh. weeping eyes,
For my darling sleeping baby
From her sleeping grave shall rise.

And again my Babe I'll see,
For when Jesus comes IN glory
He will give her back to me.
Sadly missed by mother, whose eyes through
lonely days and nights are ever turning west

Chamberlain Cough Remedy
for coughs, colds and Group.
Chamberlain Linime mt for
sprains, bruises, rheumatic pains.
Chamberlain S Tablets for stom-
ach troubles, billiousness and con-
stipation.
By having these articles at hand
it would often save the trouble of
trip to town in the busiest season
or in the night, and would enable
me to treat slight ailments as soor,
as they appear. and thereby avoid
the more serious diseases that so
often follow.
