GERMAN SOCIALISTS
CRY FOR PEACE AS !,
OTHERS PROTEST
Great Demonstration OF Independent
Socialists In Berlln-Ger-
many's Proposal.

Berlin, May 21.-One hundred thou
sand Independent Socialists today
staged a demonstration in the Lust
garten In favor of immediate peace.
They bore red flags and banners,
with the inscription, 1--WE Want Only
Peace, Bread and Work"
After they had been addressed by
several speakers the crowd marched
to Wilhelmplatz, where $4,000 Majority
Socialists were holding a demonstra-
ton against the treaty.
Before the appearance of the Inde-
pendents, Chancellor Philip Scheide-
mann, addressing the crowds, declared
that protest is Germany's only re-
naming weapon"
Germany's final counter proposals
to the Peace Treaty will, it was learn
ed from an authoritative source today,
be constituted as follows:
First: Insistence on fulilment of
President Wilson's principles.
Second: Request for a plebiscite
in the eastern and western provinces.
Third: Acceptance of the principle
of full disarmament, but with the re-
servation that 100000 troops are ne
.cessary to maintain internal order.
Fourth: Complete agreement with
elimination of the German navy, but
with insistence that some merchant
ships be retained to insure the coun-
try's economic development.
This information was obtained from
an official in close touch with the dele
gates at Versailles He made the state
ments without qualification.
The German Government, he said
believes the eastern plebiscite would
be advantageous to Germany, and re-
CARDS victory in the Saar basin as
certain, in the event of a vote.
From another source it was learned
that Germany also will urge that the
indemnities be Jumped in one sum in
stead of an indefinite amount to be COL
lected during a long period, so the
German workmen, financiers and gov
eminent may know the extent of their
obligations.

EQUAL RIGHTS IS u
ADOPTED BY HOUSE
Susan u. Anthony Amendment Passed
by House Of Representatives by
Large Measure.

Washington, May 22.-National suf-
frage for women was endorsed by the
House OF Representatives for the sec
ond time Wednesday when the Susan
B. Anthony amendment resolution was
adopted by q vote OF 3O4 to 80. Sup
porters OF the measure Immediately
arranged to carry their fight to the
Senate where, although twice defeated
at the last session, they are confident
of obtaining the necessary two-thirds
vote.
The victory OF the suffrage forces
Wednesday was but AZ votes more
than the required two-thirds. On the
previous ballot on the resolution, cast
January 10, 1918, exactly the necessary
number Of affirmative votes were re-
corded.
House leaders Of both parties in the
brief debate preceding todays vote
urged favorable action, but many
Southern Democrats opposed the mea-
sure, as did several New England Re-
publicans.
The favorable vote was more by
fourteen than would have been neces-
sary, had all members of the House
been present. The political division of
the vote showed that 200 Republicans,
1O2 Democrats, one Independent and
one Prohibitionsts voted for adoption,
while the negative poll showed seven
ty Democrats and nineteen Republi-
cans. Speaker Gillett, who voted
against the resolution on previous bal
lots, did not vote Wednesday.
