German Politicians Still Saying the

modify the. terms along the lines sug-
gested in the German communities
tons, the German delegates will
accept them, it was said. If, how
ever, the allies fatty refuse to con-

have all others answered to date
Germany must withhold her accept
ance of the treaty to avert economic
and political destruction, according
to government attaches. They point
ed out that Germany's position would
be no worse through refusing than
accepting the present terms.
In the face of this attitude of Ger
man officialdom. which is supported
by official utterances of President
Ebert and Chancellor Scheidemann.
there Is a disposition Of the working
classes in general and the radicals
in particular to- make peace at once,
regardless of the conditions. Consid-
cradle emphasis is laid on the fact
that Scheidemann's declaration that
the terms are "unacceptance," made
before the national assembly here a
week ago today, was riotously cheer
ed by his audience. who gave every
sign of appreciation.

able to sign the treaty." asked
Scheidemann, and supplied the an
swer himself, None
I'VE are willing to sign a peace"
he continued, ''but only one that we
can fulfill"
The workers, however, are sick of
war and obviously are determined to
bring the present one formally to
close and begin the task Of recon
struction, even If they have to de
pose the present government to
do 1t.
Every demonstration in protest
against the terms has been met by
simultaneous counter demonstra-
lions, and one huge meeting, called
to denounce the treaty, wound up
with an almost unanimous demand
for immediate peace, no matter what
the terms.
This is the situation in Germany
today. The answer to the riddle I'M
doubted1y will be known before the
end of the week.

IN AMERICA
War Department 10 Looking For
Market For Millions of Cans
Of Vegetables and
Meats,

| limited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, May 21.--Markets
are to be found In the United States,
! if possible, for the millions of
pounds of meat and millions of cans
| of vegetables held by the war depart
ment. 1t was learned today.
| The department has, roughly 200,-
100000 pounds of meat and 100000
! 600 cans of vegetables. The last de-
partment statement was that there
were on hand 115,943,5O0 pounds OF
| roast beef, 72,7S7,6 pounds OF
corned beef, 20.s20000 pounds Of
corned beef hash,- and 47,219,62F
pounds of bacon. Some Of this since
has been sold.
In recent statement 1t was said
the war department would try to find
markets abroad for the meat. Later
1t was said this was merely a tenta-
tive program.
Now 1t was learned authoritatively
the war department plans to sell as
much of the surplus food products as
possible in the United States.
Packing houses, 1t was stated,
through which the sales were to be
made are not to be considered pri-
marily in the war department plan as
outlined today. Secretary Of War
Baker is understood to favor distri-
button of the food as directly as posi-
BILE to the consumer.
The war department hopes to sell
large quantities OF food to state and
municipal governments for institu-
tional use and the department will
also seek markets closer to the con-
sumer. The possibility that much Of
the food would be released for actual
public consumption was considered
likely. Department officials say the
policy is not direct change from
former plans. 1t Is understood that
there was misinterpretation in plans
both In and out Of the war department.
Big packing interests have suffered q
reverse in their hopes by the new
outlining of the present policy.
The surplus war department meat
consisted, according to a statement a
week ago, of 100000 six pound
cans; 17,330,0O0 two pound cans s.
100000 six pound cans, 100000 "a
ounce cans ! 10000 one pound cans
and 4,250,00O twelve ounce cans OF
corned beef; 2O,S00,000 pounds of
corned beef hash in one and two
pounds tins; 47,219,620 pounds of
bacon; S,6S6,oO0 pounds of which is
Grated and stored in Columbus, Balti-
more and Chicago.

Germany Depending Upon Russia,
China and Japan to Gain
Control Of World Next
Time.

I[By J. w. T. Mason, Written for the
United Press.]
NEW YORK, May 21.-Germany is
preparing to turn to the east for re-
venge German statesmen. crafty,
INSCRIPTIONS, and full of resentment
against the western democracies, are
laying plans to break the peace
treaty after the signatures have
been forced from the defeated pleni-
potentiaries at Versailles.
China, and Japan for eventual help
lin creating a new league to over
throw the western nations control
Iof the world. Germany, Russia, China.
and Japan are all disappointed at the
outcome of the peace negotiations.
China believes she has been deserted
by the western powers; and the
japanese are resentful because they
have not been recognized as the
racial equals of the white people Of
America and Great Britain.
Germany, therefore, is hopeful Of
making subtle suggestions to China
and Japan concerning the advantages
of secret league to seek revenge
against the west Russia Is neces-
sary confederate for such con-
spiracy. Russia has been denounced
by the victorious allies in Europe as
an outcast nation. France, in par
ticular, has forgotten her own revo-
luton when two-thirds OF the French
national debt was repudiated and
four hundred dollars in French paper
money sold for one dollar in real
cash.
Frances refusal to cooperate with
America and, Great Britain IN trying
to help the present Russian govern
ment get on its feet has made zeal
assistance to Russia impossible.
Russia, therefore, is now unable to
count on help from the west. If the
Germans can assist Russia to recover
her balance, it will be to Germany
that the Russians will naturally turn
for future guidance.
Germany's first step, therefore, In
her search for means to break fbe
peace treaty, is to form an intimate
relationship with Russia. Already
efforts are being made in Berlin to
this end German agents are in
Russia advocating the mutual advan-
tage of secret cooperation between
the two nations.
Once this movement shows signs
Of progressing, it's spread into China
and japan will be deftly sought by
leaders. Germany threat
ened this very outcome to Ambassa-
dor Gerard when America was pre-
pairing to enter the war. The ruth
less brutality Of the Germans during
the war savors more of an oriental
race than a western nation. The
Germans may thus claim racial rela-
.ionship with the Orient for the pur-
pose of urging cooperation.
The situation Is certain to develop
INTO serious menace unless the
western diplomats quickly begin to
,ounteract the new German propa-
yanda Russia is the key. With
Russia hostile to Germany's designs,
he Germans viii be impotent. They
will be geographically isolated from
he far east and unable to form en-
effective oriental alliance. The west
srn democracies, therefore, must Re
wise their treatment of Russia, or
,es Germany continue as a danger
,us plotter against civilizations pro-
.ress.
