Germany Considering the Treaty
Which Strips Her of Much
Land and All Power.
FRANCE WILL Be PROTECTED
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau and Assocl-
ates Are Expected to Make Coun-
ter Proposals-Alied Council
Working on Terms for
Austria, Hungary and
Bulgaria.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.


1.-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 "book"-some $4,000 words Of
peace terms to which Germany is re-
quired to give adherence. When this
is done-indeed, whether or not 1t is
d0ne-Germany stands shorn of vir-
power and of more than a million
square miles of territory and economi-
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.
IL was May T. the fourth anniversary
Of one of their most shocking crimes,
the sinking Of the Lustanla. The re-
ception Of the delegates, from Berlin
was deliberately cool and the proceed
ings in the Versailles palace were
marked by a stern Formally. There
was no smallest pretense Of cordially
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,
hut denied her sole cuIpabillty for the
war. He intimated plainly that Ger
many would put in counter claim for
damages because of the loss of life
due 10 the blockade and that In gen
eral she would take her stand on Pres
ldent 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 unoflicially
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
demnty, 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
monte commission of the allies. Pos.
sibly the military will have something
20 say and do, also.

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitrc-Phosphats
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
60 increase Strength, Wgor
and Nerve Force,

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy, developing arms neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines OF health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
% starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than Is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-p phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phos-
phate quickly produces welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing
This Increase in weight also carries with
1t a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear duh
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect healgh.
CAUTION: - Although bitro. phosphate
is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not, owing to it's remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.

Congress May Unseat eeraer.

With congress called into special
session May 10, Milwaukee probably
will hold a special election In the near
future according to those well In
formed on political matters there, to
select a successor for Victor l.. Ber-
ger.
One of the first acts Of congress. ac-
cording to n Washington dispatch
quoting Speaker Gillett, will be to I'M
seat the Socialist representative from
the Fifth district.
The comment in political circles is
that there would be little opposition
TO the unseating.
Berger, now under sentence Of 20
years in federal prison for violation Of
the espionage act, is at liberty on
bail, and Is drawing his salary as a
representative. Thus far he has ac-
cepted $3.50 of the $500 stipend
which duly elected members of the
house receive each year.

meet on May 19-an earlier date than
had been expected. He cannot be in
Washington for the opening Of the ses-
sion, owing to the work still to be done
in Paris. The Republicans, who will
control both houses, are busy prepar-
ing their program. The house must
hurry through a lot of appropriation
bills and in the senate will be staged
the great debate over the peace treaty,
and especially the covenant Of the
league of nations. 1t is predicted that
the senate will give the entire treaty
its approval, though many of the men,
bers will argue long and earnestly
against the league covenant as ii
stands. The supporters of the league
undoubtedly will have the immense as
sistance of addresses by the president,

ton he has had so much to do.

The correspondent of a Berlin pa
per predicted that the German dele
gates in each case where it was con-
sidered necessary would present a
carefully formulated counterproposi-
ton stating the maximum they were
willing to concede. Many Of these, he
said, were already drawn up and the
Germans would "show the utmost con-
sideration for the enemy's standpoint"
He asserted it would be particularly
difficult for Germany to yield to the
demand for the delivering up Of the
Germans held guilty of being the in
stigators of the war.
This clause, which calls for the trial
Of the former kaiser, was incorporated
in the treaty at the last moment. 9th

included the disposition of the Ger

Belgium having been given satlsfac-
ton as to the parts of the treaty which
didn't suit her at first, the only one Of
the allied and associated nations that
still held out against the pact was
China. The cabinet at Picking, it was
said, had instructed the Chinese dele
gates not to sign any treaty that trans
ferred to Japan the former German
rights in Shantung. Japans victory in
the allied council has greatly stirred
China and there is danger Of anti-for
eign outbreaks there.
Press comment OF the treaty, which
indicates or forms public opinion, is
varied. The German papers, of course,
denounce many of the terms as brutal
and impossible of acceptance. Those
of France praise the pact rather faint
ly. In England some journals commend
the treaty highly and others condemn
1t. The American press generally looks
on the peace terms as satisfactory.
