HUNS CALL Off
BIG PROPAGANDA
Nationwide Storm of Protests
Against Signing Peace
Dies Down.
ERzBERGER !" TOP DOG "
Scheidemann Looking for
Way to Gracefully Sign
the Unacceptable"

Berlin, May 27.-(By Telegraph
From n. Y. World, Copyrighted)-
First impressions after the pubhca-
ton of the peace terms that Germany
would sign before the last hour, seem
confirmed by the latest developments
The nationwide storm of protest
has died down, except in the east, and
the government has called off the vio-
lent protest propaganda which
proved too much even for the Ger
man peace delegation. At The same
time the official lid seems to have
been clamped down on President
Wilson's fourteen points.
Only the nationalistic press con-
tinues to root enthusiastically in fa
vor of rejecting the proposed treaty
or anything resembling it, and it con
tinues to harp on the argument Of
President Wilson's fourteen points.
Count Ernest IN Reventlow, in the
Agrarian Tageszcituns says: Moth
ing has been heard now for some
time concerning President Wilson's
fourteen points from members of the
government who are usually ver-
bose, or from their press. If the Ger
mans were now to abandon the VIII
son program and sign the treaty they
would justly earn the scorn Of the
world. Now, here would they find
present help, and they would bury
their future. Such would be the
Scheidrmann peace.
Significantly the government is
skillfully preparing the public for an
infinitely hard peace. There is no
longer official talk that any kind of
peace you'd he absolutely accept
able
1t really seems as if radical
change of head and heart had come
over the government. The Erzber-
ger faction. which is in favor of sign
ing after the exhaustion Of all chance
to obtain conce ssion by negotiation,
appears to be the top dog in the gov
ernment. Chancellor Scheidcmann is
apparently looking for ways and
means to sign and save his prestige
despite his declarations that the
treaty is Unacceptable. In politi-
cal circles the belief has gained cur
rency that some concessions, chiefly
of an economic and financial nature,
will be granted by the allies. sufficient
to enable the government to go be-
fore the people with a show Of sue
cess at Versailles, which in turn.
would enable it to sign gracefully and
stay in office.
Obtain the obtainabe Policy.
ITO try and obtain the oJtainable"
is the policy Of the government, as
summed up by the Catholic organ,
Germania, German belief that the
allies will make generous, il not radi-
cal concessions is based on the as
sumption that the allies have a big
interest in making peace with the
present coalition government rather
than with government of indepcnd-
ent socialists. who would sign any
thing, with no intention of keeping
the terms, but Of working only for
world revolution.

REJOICING over
HAWKER'S LUCK
Australian Peace Delegation
Halls Him as Worthy Son
of Native Land.
BlRDMEN GIVEN OVATION
Carried on Shoulders of Edin-
burgh Crowd-Tell of
Experiences.

Paris, Monday, May 26--The Joy
of the Australian delegation ut the
peace conference over the news of
the rescue of Harry c. Hawker, was
expressed in a statement issued by
it tonight.
THE world will not forget his
phcky attempt" the statement said.
Australia is proud of Harry Haw-
ker, and the Australian delegation
halls him as a worthy son of the
great land which gave him birth.
The flight was for the purpose of
testing the ability OF an airplane to
cross the great space in a new way.
Technically the airplane has yet to
be proved, but Hawker's attempt has
more than proved the ability of the
men who operate those machines. 1t
is a great thing to know we can
still produce brave men: 1t is per-
haps greater that the whole world,
after five years of war, still admires
bravery"
