Page Admits Intention
OF Resigning His Post
Step Has No Relation to Recent
Italian Dispute or Differ
ence With Wilson

PARIS, May 9 (By The Associated
Press ?.--Thomas Nelson Page, the
American Ambassador to Italy, has
made known his intention to resign
after the conclusion of peace, it was
stated in high quarters in Paris to-
day.
Ambassador Page has contemplated
this step for the last two years, but
1t now has become definitely known
that it has no relation to the recent
tension over the withdrawal of the
Italian delegation from the peace con-
ference.
The ambassadors efforts to restore
relations have led to the circulation
of reports that he differed with Pres
ident Wilson, but it is stated in au-
thoritative circles that these reports
are unwarranted and that his intention
to resign has not been caused by any
question that has arisen in connection
with the Italian issue.

Treaty Clause ON Papers
Seized i'm 1870 PuzzIing
Paris Speculates on Nature of
Documents French Minister
of Justice Lost

PARIS, May 9.-The clause in the
peace treaty calling upon Germany to
return to France papers taken in 1870
belonging to Eugene Rouher, a prom
inent French statesman under the EN-.
pire, has caused much speculation as
to the nature of the documents
Rouher, who was Minister of Justice
when the Franco Prussian war broke
out, had secreted a great number OF
private and official documents in his
chateau These were seized and car
ried away by the Germans when thew
invaded France and were never re.
stored.
The treaty does not say to what
questions the official papers relate. but
it is recalled that Rouher was VIC
lently opposed to Theirs in 1857 on
the questions Of German unity and
Italian unity as we'll as on the ques-
ton of confscating the property of
the Orleans family.
Rouher was a refugee in London dur.
ing the Franco Prussian war and was
among the followers of former EN-
press Eugenie. Later he became a
member of the Chamber of Deputies
and was active in attempting to re-
organize the Bonapartist party.

are published in the Temps" Paul
Hymans, Of Belgium, says he is gener-
ally satisfied. and the Polish delegates
also expressed satisfaction, although the
solution of the Danzig problem does
not give them all they expected, and
they are uncertain whether they will
be allowed to fortify the coast of inter
nationalized territory.
Danish representatives express deep
satisfaction with the disposition Of
Schlcswig- Holstein, but surprise that
the boundaries of territories which will
be called upon to decide their own
destiny were fixed, according to sum-
mary of the treaty, considerably further
south than either the Danish govern
ment's Parliamentary delegates or tho
delegates of the Schleswig Danes had
proposed at the peace conference.
DR.. Benes, the Czecho-Slovak Foreign
Minister, also voiced his satisfaction
with the arrangements which have been
made, with some minor reservations.

British Labor Party
Criticises Peace Treaty
Committee Says 1t Does Not
Follo,c IA Points; Socialists
in France Also Complain

LONDON, May 8.--After meeting to
consider the terms of peace imposed
upon Germany by the Allied and asso-
ciated nations, the national executive
committee of the British Labor party
issued manifesto declaring the treaty
in some essential particulars Opposed
to the declarations of President Wilson
of the Inter-Allied Labor Conference
and the Berne conference, and very
defective from the standpoint Of world
peace.
"It bears evidence of a compromise
by capitalism and imperialism, which
still dominate European states" the
manifesto declared. "Any permanent
denial of Germany of an opportunity
to become a mandatory under the
league of nations must cause jealousy
and unrest, leading to further inter
national disputes"
Other points criticised were the fail
ure to give Germany representation on
the reparations commission and the
omission of provisions for progressive
limitation of ornaments by the other
| signatories to the treaty. The mani
festo protested against the permanent
separation Of the Saar Basin from Ger.
many ana advocated pleblsclte IN NAL
medy and other contested territories be.
tween Belgium and Germany.
PARIS, May s.-The Socialist press
criticses the peace conditions severely
One newspaper, for example, under the
caption of "A Peace of Oppression ane
Injustice" says: "The capitalist and i'm.
perialist world as it exists could only
produce a capitalist and imperialist
peace, which prepares the way for an
other war. Between President Wilson's
fourteen points and certain stipulations
communicated to Count Won Brockdorff.
Rantzau there are hiatuses and con.
trasts which are too striking"

German Delegation
Divided Ouer Treaty
Tntin1afion Civen That Enu0ys
May Refuse to Sign Pact;
No Statements Issued Yet

PARIS, May "a Reuter- statement
quoting a high British authority, saws
the German delegates to the peace
congress are considerably divided in
their views ON the peace terms sub
mitted by the Allied and ASSOCIATED d
powers.
The German delegates in their an
swer to the peace terms, some news
papers say, will propose especially to
assume the burden of making repara-
tion only for damage caused in North
ern France and Belgium. The papers
say 1T is not unlikely the Allies will
refuse the proposition. The German
delegates, it is added, also intend to
give battle over the questions of the
Saar Valley, Danzig, the former Ger
man colonies and military occupation,
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, in q
long wireless exchange with Berlin,
the newspapers declared, expressed a
desire to confer with the German
Austrian delegates on their arrival at
ST. Germain.
One of the Allied delegates told the
echo de Paris" that the attempt by
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau to make
other countries besides Germany re-
sponsible for the war and his appeal
to universal brotherhood was coolly re-
ceived by the chiefs of the Allied and
associated powers, especially Premier
Lloyd George and President Wilson.
In the lobby Of the Chamber of Dep
uties yesterday, the peace treaty gen
orally was approved by the Deputies,
but some reservations we're made con-
corning the financial clauses. Raoul
Peret, president of the budget COM
mission, said France apparently would
have to bear all her war expenses and
it probably would be necessary to ask
for ten billion francs ($2,000, 900, ,0OO)
in taxes from the French people in
the next fiscal year. M. Peret ques-
toned if the people could pay such
sum.

Polish Frontier Terms
Are Shock to Germans
DELEGATES Also Question That
Teutons Can Pay Claims
fo Extent Allies Demand

VERSAILLES, May (By The As
sociated Press) The question whether
Germany will sign the treaty or not
is the pressing one of the hour. 1t Is
impossible yet to gain an indication
of the attitude of the German plenl-
potentiaries here. but information
coming from German sources goes to
show it is quite possible the Ebert
Scheidemann government is consider
inr it's fate if it should accept such q
drastic treaty. 1t may choose to re-
fuse to sign the treaty and go down
in blaze of patriotic glory.
According to this information the
greatest shock to the Germans was
given by the formula establishing the
a great part of West Prussia and a
considerable seacoast to Poland, in
addition to large coal fields in upper
Silesia. When the German delegates
left home they expected to hear more
moderate proposals regarding the Pol
ish frontier and Danzig.
The delegates also question the pos
sibility of Germsny's paying repara-
ton to the extent laid down by the
treaty, and they doubt whether they
should sign clauses which they are
said ostensibly to regard as impos-
sihle Of fulflment. They object also
TO the surrender of their entire mer-
camille feet, arguing that this would
sorce them to pay an additional in
demnity to England in freight for
oTery ton of raw material imported,
manufactured and exported under the
ritual British monopoly of ocean ton
mage which they assume would soon
ollow the elimination of the German
:rsrcantile fleet.
Crisis for Ebert
Consideration is naturally given to
the fact that the declaration that
Germany would refuse to sign the
peace unless the conditions were
greatly modified in her favor may
possibly have been put out just now
with the object Of influencing the ne
gotiations and that it is not neces-
sarily conclusive. Experts attached to
the Inter-Allied conference who have
Just returned from Germany, where
they endeavored to obtain material
for. a definite verdict on this subject,
believe. however, that 6 refusal by
the present government to sign 10
not impossible. They expect that in
this case the existing government
would fall Immediately and be sue
ceeded by an Independent Socialist
government, which would sign any
treaty presented. without any inten-
tion, however, of binding itself by its
signature or OF observing the condi-
tions If the opportunity arose to dis
regard them.
The German delegates to the peace
congress quartered here conferred
among themselves all last evening, the
conference lasting until midnight.
Six Leave for Berlin
Six members of the mission have LEFT
for Berlin, three of these being news
paper men, who are reported to have
beer commissioned to begin a pres.
campaign at home. Among the return
ing newspaper men was Fredericl
Stampfer, chief editor of "Vorwaerts.'

Counter Proposals by
Germans Are Expected

pARIS, May 9.-It is generally be-
- lieved the Germans will answer
the delivery Of the treaty of peace
by proposals relative to certain
phases of the document.
A competent commission will ex-
anime the German answer and if
notifications are necessary the Ger
mans will be notified. 1t is expected
that in this rejoinder the enemy will
be allowed four or five days to agree
definitely to the whole treaty. 1t is,
therefore, probable that from twen-
ty-f1ve to thirty days will elapse be-
fore the pact is finally signed.

Belgians Oppose Britain
AS Mandatory i'm Africa
Delegation ''Unable TO Believe"
Council of Four Has Made
Such a Decision

PARIS, May 9.-After Paul Hymans
head Of the Belgian delegation, had dis
cussed the rights of Belgium in Ger
man East Africa to-day, David Lloyd
George, the British Prime Minister
telegraphed Vscount Milner, Secretary
for the Colonies, to come to Paris. On
his arrival here questions concerning
the East African mandate will be con-
sidered again.
The Belgian delegation had issued a
note relative to Great Britain being
appointed mandatory for German East
Africa, saying that it is unable to be-
lieve that this action has been taken
by the council Of four"
an view of Belgium's Important
military operations in Africa, her sac
rifices to insure the conquest Of Ger
man East Africa and the fact that her
situation has given her rights on that
Continent" the note says, belgium Is
unable to admit that German East
Africa could be disposed of by agree
ments in which she has not partici-
pated."
The Belgian delegation also COM
planned strongly of the omissions
from the peace treaty of a provision
indemnifying Belgium for the seven
billion marks Of German money forced
into circulation in Belgium during the
German occupation and which has de-
preciated to one-fourth of its face
value.
BRUSSELS, May 9.-Some of the
Belgian newspapers point out that
Germany, by admitting defeat, must
submit to the consequences. "Etoile
Beige" is of the opinion that the hard
terms do not even indemnify the Allies
for their losses. The newspaper ex-
presses surprise that the proposed stip-
ulation regarding British and Ameri-
can support Of France in case of attack
was not also made for the benefit Of
Belgium.
The "Independance Beige" says that
1t is impossible for Germany to offer
further resistance or to refuse equit-
able reparation.

Loan Securities Drop
The war loan securities sold away
below previous figures, and trading in
local loans was feeble. German ship
ping securities were down in price
while foreign shares. notably Canadian
Pacific and Baltimore & Ohio, and Eng
lish pound notes rose noticeably.
The financial writers comment ex-
haustively on economic problems. solu-
tion of which. they say, will be rem
dered impossible by the peace terms
which will mean the destruction of
Germany. The "Tageblatt's" financial
expert says that Germany had hoped,
if not in this generation, at least in
the next, to be able to recover and
live by her own work, but that that
belief now has been completely upset.
The "Vossische Zeitung" estimates
that the indemnity will total 100000
100000 marks, gold, ($45, 200, ,000, ,00o)
and complains that the Entente has
not taken into account the war mate
rial and the navy delivered up. The
writer declares that smaller and
weaker Germany will be unable to pay.
