Paris, June 3o.-Condltioning the
raising OF the blockade upon Ger
many's ratification of the treaty is
regarded in conference circles rs a
sure plan for securing a speedy ratifi-
cation because OF Germany's food and
raw material needs. AS Russia was
practically blockaded as a result of
the blockade against the central pow
ers. the opinion is held that when the
blockade of them ceases there will lie
NO blockade against Russia.
Paris.--The official notification to
Germany that the blockade will not
be raised until the treaty is ratified
by Germany was In the form of a
resolution adopted by the council of
four and presented to the German del
egatlon before Its departure for Ber-
lin. Tho resolution follows:
"The superior blockade council is
instructed to base Its arrangements
for resembling restriction upon trade
with Germany on the assumption that
the allied and associated powers will
not wait TO raise the blockade until
the completion of ratification, as pro-
vidsd for at the end of the treaty with
Germany, but that 1t is TO be raised
Immediately upon receipt Of informa-
ton that the treaty of peace has been
ratified by Germany"
The Franco-American convention
has been signod on behalf of the two
governments. according to the news
papers. 1t is said that the covenant
includes several articles and specifies
that violations of the peace treaty by
Germany Will give France the right
to request American and British as
sistance.
One paper says the coincidence in
the signing of the convention and the
peace treaty the same day is part of
the spirit of union among the associ-
ated powers to see that the treaty is
carried out.
The peace treaty was taken from
Versailles to Paris and deposited at
the protocol office. Marshal Jotfre
was unable to attend the ceremony,
and Marshal Foch and Marshal Petain
also were unable to be present.
A note Will be sent the Turkish
delegation by the council of four ad-
vising the members to return to Con-
stantinople.
The message will say there il no
reason to believe an agreement can
be reached in the near future, be-
cause of the great difference between
the demands of the Turks and the
concessions the allies are willing to
grant.
The council of four have reached an
agreement on the economic terms to
be imposed on Austria.

WOULD ESCAPE TRIAL
MAY LEAD NEW REVOLT AFTER
SIGNING OF TREATY, REPORT.
FLEEs FROM HOLLAND AND is
NOW IN HIDING IN EAST
PRUSSIA.

Western Newspaper Union New. Service
London, June 27.-With the crown
prince returned to Germany, supposed
ly to attempt the leadership of a mill
tarist coup d'etat; and with increasing
clashes between the populace and
troops in Berlin and Hamburg, it II
feared that the upheaval prophesied
when Germany should sign the peace
treaty has already begun.
No definite word of the crown
princes whereabouts, or of his plans,
has been received beyond the bare
fact that he has crossed the frontier
of Holland and Is again on German
soil. 1t is suggested that his flight
may have been merely to escape seiz-
ure and trial by the allies.
In Berlin many streets are barricad-
ed and there have been bitter engage
ments between the government troops
and mobs for the past several days
Militarist circles in the German capital
discuss openly the plans for a counter
revolution, aimed to suppress the COM
munist uprising, which apparently has
already been launched, and to place
the royalist- -junker faction again In
power.
Armed resistance to the allies is
likewise being considered. Field Mar
shall Won Hindenburg, In reply to q re-
quest from the minister of defense
concerning the allied rejection of Ger
man reservations in the peace treaty,
said that In the event of a resump-
ton of hostilities the Germans would
] he
tain the frontiers to the east, but
hardly would be able to reckon on
success in the west. The field mar
shal is said to have added:
"a favorable issue to our operations
is, therefore, very doubtful, but as a
soldier, 1 must prefer an honorable
fall to an ignominous peace"
A report from Berlin said that Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg had resigned
from the chief command. Later dis
patches said that General Groener had
succeeded him, but that Groener like
wis had resigned, but had agreed to
remain in command until the situation
had become tranquilized. Rebels are

news agency dispatch from Berlin re-
ported. General Won Lettow. the dis
patch added. has been ordered to crush
the revolt by force.
Washington. : Confidential reports
that the former German crown prince,
and also probably the former emperor,
would attempt to re-enter Germany
after the signing Of the peace treaty,
were received recently by government
officials here. This became known
after dispatch telling of the escape
of the crown prince had been received
recently by government officials here
The former German crown prince was
interned by the Dutch government on
the Island of wierlngen, and IL he pre-
serves his status as soldier the opin-
ion of international law authorities
here is that the Netherlands govern
ment may be held accountable by the
associated powers for his escape Of
ficlals said one effect of the escape
undoubtedly would be to cause the au-
thorities of Holland to renew precau-
tions to prevent the escape of the for
mer emperor.

Paris, June 2s-Movsments of the
Germans against the western Polish
boundary at three points are givtng
great uneasiness in conference circles,
and Ignace Jan Paderewskf, PoEsh
premier, is making earnest efforts to
obtain ammunition from the allies be-
fore the Germans cut the principal
railways.
Heavy artillery attacks upon
Czenstochowa from the south and
west threaten to cut the railway con-
Meeting Warsaw with Cracow and the
Teschen coal fields.
The Germans are also advancing at
Krotoechin, fifty-four miles south
east Of Posen and directly west OF
Lodz, and there is fighting on the
River Netze west of Bromberg. Polish
staff officers stationed in Paris re-
gard the Czenstochowa action as
most critical, as the Germans are
some points.
The decision of the council of four
to permit the Polish army to establish
order In Galicia, east of Lemberg,
carried with 1t temporary recogni-
ton of the River Brucz rs the east
ern boundary of Poland. pending the
decision of the League of Nations.
This decision was especially crafty
ing to NJ. Paderewski and his asso-
ciates, as the interallied commissions
which visited the region supported
Polish reports that the district was
being terrorized by bandits connected
with no recognized army or organized
government.

Austrian Communists held confer
ence in southern Tyrol a few days
ago for the purpose of preparing for

Berlin.-The troops on entering
Hamburg ordered the immediate ces-
sotion of hostilities, the release of all
prisoners held by the Communists in
the city hall and the delivery of
weapons.
All criminals released during recent
turbulent events were ordered re-
turned to Jail.
The casualties in the rioting are
estimated to have been twenty killed
and $50 to 200 wounded On the sur
face, the situation is quieter The
banks are open, the official offices
are doing business and the city trans
portation systems are operating
The authorities, however, have not
re-established their control The riots
are said to be the beginning of gen.
orally chaotic conditions planned by
the Spartacans, and expected by them
to extend throughout the country. The
authorities here said they expected
that the Spartacan element would at
tempt an uprising here shortly.
