{ have for examination of the treaty.
 After the first sentence of the Counts speech had been delivered in German an interpreter began the French translation. The words did not reach the head of the table dis tiuctly, and Premier CIemenceau called for a. louder utteranCe. He was equally dissatisfied with the second attempt of the interpreter and two of the German officials finally left their places with the German delegation and moved across to the head of the table to deliver the German plenipo- tentiaries' bold and frequently offen- sive message sentence by sentence right into the faces of Premiers Glenn enceau, Lloyd George and President Wilson.
 Coun von Brockdorf- -Rantzau's in terpretator in German repeatedly rang out in strong voice on particular phrases or words of his speech a S. for instance, when he declared that the admission by Germany of solt guilt for the war would be a ''lie'' and when 7e forbade the Allies to speak of cruelty and murder in view of the sueerings and deaths of German civilians under the blockade and af- ter the armistice.
 The interpreter who gave the Eng fish version made the most of his opportunity, both in voice and seIec- tion of words, and the bold and un- repentant declaration of the German peace delegate a s thus brought out gave rise to murmur of indignation in the chamber.
 Serious disorders are reported to have broken out in Picking as a pro- test over the action of the Council of Three in awarding to Japan the rights and concessions in .Shantung formerly held by the Germans, while the Chinese government, according to Peking advices, has decided to in- strict it's delegation in Paris not to sign the treaty giving Germans rights in Shantung to the Japanese.

Paris, May 8-(By The Associated Press)-There is no indication that President Wilson contenplates hast ening his return because of the con- vocation of Congress on May 19, and he will undoubtedly remain here through the period of 15 days allowed the Germans for. consideration of the peace terms, probably until the treaty is signed
 In case the negotiations are pro- longed by suggestions advanced by the Germans, it is possible he may forego the satisfaction of signing the treaty and return home. It is expect ed that he will send a message to be read in his absence.

You and I and lot of others can afford to pay 80 cents a hundred for ice and if the Republicans don't want to do as the people bid them and build that ice plant, there is little remedy.

 When the planes were fully a mile away, the even toned roar of their motors assured officers that they were working perfectly. The escortng scout planes turned back about three miles from Rockaway and the three transatlantic f1iers sped away on their great adventure.
 About 1900 persons, including the 1000 officers and men of the naval air station, watched the three great planes rise from the water and soar out over Jamaica Bay.
 The three transatlantic fiers were reported passing beween Fishers Island, off New London, Conn.,, and

 Playing Republican leaders for their efforts to hamper President Wilson, and answering the charges made by Republican National Chair man Will H. Hays, Homer s. Cum mings delivered a masterful address.
 Alderman John A. Cornell presi- dent of the Sequoyah society, deliver ed an address of welcome, introduce ing Hugh J. Lavery, town chairman of the Democratic party as the toast master. MT Lavery in a short ad- dress then introduced MT. Cummings who was followed in tsrn by United States District Attorney John F. Crosby. and Don Seitz of Cos Cob business manager of the New York World.
 MT. Seitz delivered an address on Jeffersonian Democracy, rapping Democrats of Greenwich for selling themselves out and declaring the double machine was the shame of the Democratic party in Fairfield county. His talk bordered on a lecture, and came straight from the shoulder and will long be remembered by every Democrat present.
 He said the Greenwich machine was cap4ble of nominating and en- dorsing Jim Walsh as a member of the legislature and he appealed to Chairman Cummings to deliver the county from such practices. He said that unless one were on the alert the polls would be closed at Greenwich. 'They seem to think down there that the elections have properly been taken care of when the town commit tee votes" said MT. Seitz. The speak CTS constructive criticism of the Democratic party in Fairfield county was taken in good stead by all, and he was heartily applauded when he concluded his address by reminding his hearers that he was Jefferson Democrat.
 United States District Attorney Crosby thrilled his hearers with his optimism for the success of the Dem ocratic party in Fairfield county, telling them of the wonderful success scored here in the last campaign when the Republican majority was greatly reduced. He also said Bolshevism must be combatted to the utmost, and paid his respects to the ladies pres ent.
 Congratulations for the success of the dinner were showered upon the committee of arrangements for the masterful handling of the details. of the affair. These men who so ably put across the first dinner of the Seouoya society were Lawrence J. Gallagher, chairman; William E. Ho- gan, treasurer; William P. Orr, Frank !. Hearn and Frederick Hilsinger.
