Germany Considering the Treaty
Which Strips Her Of Much
Land and All Power.
FRANCE WILL Be PROTECTED
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau and Associ-
ates Are Expected to Make coun-
Ter Proposals-AlIied Council
Working on Terms for
Austria, Hungary and
Bulgaria.
BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD.


'The time has come when we must
settle our account" said Clemenceau,
and %thereupon he handed to the repre-
sentatives of Germany what he aptly
called q s'book"-some $4,000 words of
peace terms to which Germany is re-
CURED to give adherence. When this
is done-indeed, whether or not it is
done-Germany stands shorn of vir-
tually all Of her military and naval
power and of more than a million
square miles of territory, and economic
cally and financially bound until she
has paid for the tremendous damage
she wrought in the war.
Whether by intention or by accident,
the day was well chosen for the deliv-
cry to the Germans Of the document
so fateful to them and their country.
1t was May Z, the fourth anniversary
of one of their most shocking crimes,
the sinking of the Lusitania. The re-
ception Of the delegates from Berlin
was deliberately cool and the proceed
ings in the Versailles palace were
marked by a stern formality. There
was no smallest pretense of cordiality
on the part Of the representatives Of
the allied and associated powers, for
they felt none. .You have asked for
peace. We are ready to give you
peace" were Clemenceau's words, but
the peace offered will be as gall and
NORWOOD in the mouths Of the Ger
mans.
Count Won Brockdorff -Rantzau, re-
plying for the enemy delegation, adj
mitted the utter defeat Of Germany,
but denied her sole ~culpability for the
war. He intimated plainly that Ger
many would put in a counter claim for
damages because OF the loss of life
due to the blockade, and that in gen.
eral she would take her stand on Pres
Ident Wilson'S fourteen points in op-
posing what she might consider oppres-
sive in the treaty. Indeed, it is clear
that the Germans intend to pay much
more attention to those points than do
the allies. What this will avail them
is not difficult to forecast. Before get
ting the treaty they said unoficially
that they would sign it, but that Ger
many never would pay an indemnity.
by which they presumably meant penal
damages such as Bismarck exacted
from France in 1871. The treaty does
not call for the payment of an in
demnity, as such, but the Germans may
so consider some of the items of repa-
ration. In any event, their refusal to
sign, or their failure to carry out the
terms Of the pact, has been or will be
provided for in the plans Of the eco
nomic commission of the allies. Pos
sibly the military will have something
to say and do, also.

mans that they would be allowed ff-

Highway Change Brings Protest.

The state highway commissions
proposal to relocate state highway No.
"a, which takes in the Calumet or Fox
Point road, is being strongly objected
to by residents in the Fox Point and
Whitefish Bay disticts. It is the COM
missions proposal to relocate the road
at a point a quarter of a mile from
the Green Tree road, and then along
a route parallel to the Electric COM
pany's tracks to the Daisy Field road
and from there northeast to the main
highway. The cost, including con-
demnation, would be less than $4,000.
It was pointed out that a new bridge
over the Fox Point ravine would cost
more than the new highway.

scheme can be devised to raise this
money.

Aaree on Eiaht-Hour Measure.

Chairman ]. II. Jensen of the assem-

his committee has agreed on an eight
hour measure which will apparently
be agreeable to all. Nine amendments
had been offered to the NJ. E. johnson
eight-hour day bill, and it was referred
to the committee on labor, where a
long hearing was held. The committee
agreed to draft a substitute amend
ment to provide for a basic eight-hour
day but permitted employers to work
their men longer by paying time and
one-half for all overtime.

ment of Bavaria apparently was COM

those of the reds while they were in

KNITTING WORK
IS SUSPENDED

Aftcr making careful inventory of
all stocks of knitted goods on hand
In the warehouses Of the American
Red Cross the department Of military
relief has estimated mat a sufficient
quantity Of knitted articles is now on
hand, or In process Of being made, to
take care Of all needs OF the soldiers
and sailors who will remain on duty
during the present winter. For the
time being, therefore knitting will be
suspended as one Of the regular pro-
ductlOn activities Of the Red Cross
Nchapters. Any stock not needed for
our army and navy will be turned over
to the department Of foreign relief.
Red Cross workers all over the
country are being urged to knit up
such yarn az they have on hand as
rapidly AZ possible, 10 as TO get the
finished articles Into the division
warehouses In time to be used this
winter. Owing TO delays In transpor-
tation, II Is thought to be impractical
to make shipments Of winter articles
later than the first part Of January,
es goods shipped after that time will
hardly arrive In time to be of service
during the present winter
After the yarn In the hands a
workers has been used 1t is hoped the
Red Cross members who have shown
so much industry in this line Of work
will turn their attention to the max
ing Of refugee garments, so that the
