PARIS, June 16.-"we will not sign.
We cannot sign our death warrant.
We are quite ready for occupation"
One Of the most important Of the
German plenipotentiaries, Just before
his departure from, Versailles. made
this statement to THE Sun. He said
he was Interpreting exactly the feeling
OF the other members Of the delega-
ton and OF the Government in its
present state of mind.
This attitude represents the state OF
mind OF every German on the eve OF his
return to weimar. Baron Won Loersner
received the allied corrections in the
treaty a few minutes before dinner and
although he had no time to examine the
document the nature OF Its contents
was well understood and tho dinner
table buzzed with commentaries.
The general impression was that the
clauses which condemn Germany to a
half century OF servitude had not been
done away with in the treaty itself and
that the treaty had undergone little II
any 10 oPikis 1he
came. with only a few OF the sharp
edges broken of.
Everybody leaving Versailles believes
the assembly at Weimar will reject the
treaty.
There will be some Germans left at
Versailles Tomorrow. Baron Won Loers-
ner with his stan of secretaries and a
few journalists remain. All the dele
gates and the most important members
OF the party left this evening and are
expected to arrive in weimar Tuesday
evening. On Wednesday there will be
a meeting of the great council. at which
Count Won BroakdorfY Rantzau will ex-
plain the views OF the delegates. None
OF the latter expects to return to ver-
sailles.

yesterday came in for another ava
,encife Of stock selling, and as a result
many sadly weakened margin accounts
were brought nearer and nearer to
complete obliteration.
Many OF the outside tradert, known
to Wall Street as "the public" were
caught in the crush which followed the

clerks and thousands Of others had
counted for the purchase Of fiivver.

thrown overheard for the want of
more margin to cover the losses.
Continued pressure by the banks In
the shape of the high call money rates,
coupled with this indiscriminate selling
by those who could put up no more
margin and the operations Of the pro-
fessional bears, all combined to force
the market downward. and the closing
prices of the day showed for the most
part big declines from the closing fig
ures Of last week.
In the neighborhood of $4,000, 900
was loaned during the day, about one
third of which went between and 10

Notwithstanding the extent of the de-
cline. however. it was a very orderly
one. No semblance of a panic marked
the drop. The declines between sales
were. in most cases. but fractional. and
only the steady pressure was responsible
for the disparity between the closing

FOR CLEMENCEAU
BY LAURENCE HILLS.

PARIS, June 16.-The Allies gave
their final answer to the Germans to-
day, giving them seven days to reply
yes or no, and now before the court
of the worlds public opinion thsy
rest their case.
Premier Clemenceau's covering let
ter, given to the Germans with the
allied answer to the German counter
proposals, constitutes the allied sum-
ming up" The original draft Of this
letter, which was largely the work
of Philip Car, Premier Lloyd
Georges secretary. was closely ad-
hered to.
The reply with the revised treaty
was delivered to Count Won Brock
dorff- f-Rantzau, the head of the Ger
man peace delegation. Immediately on
receiving the documents Count Won
Brockdorff- -Rantzau boarded a special
train for Weimar, where, with the
present heads Of the German Govern
ment, the revised treaty will he con-
sidered and decision reached
whether to sign or not. Count Won
Brockdorff- -RantZau is due in Weimar
|, tomorrow and the period for the
will expire next Monday, an extern
sion OF forty eight hours having been
granted. The time as originally fixed
for signing or rejecting the treaty
was next Saturday.
In their reply the Allies consented,
In response to the German protest, to
make what are defined as important
notifications. These are exactly as
outlined to THE Sun in previous des-
patches. No change is made ia the
fundamentals Of the original treaty.
This attitude Is justified in the in
dictment of the German crime for
bringing on the world war and its
consequences, which will make the
treaty stand out in history as one
world.
At the session Of the Big Three
this morning for final consideration
of the answer before handing 1t TO
the Germans this afternoon one
change was made which tends to
stiffen the treaty. This comprised n
reinsertion of the original clause call
ing for a military administration of
the occupied Rhine territory instead
OF civil administration, as had been
provided for in the amended treaty.
This appears to he final victory
for Premier Clemenceau. Reaction
against this change IS very violent.
Thus the case now remains for do
cision by the Germans and it is for
them to say whether they will sign
or submit TO n continuation of the
war. with the certainty of eventually
having to yield. Posterity in the
years to come will have to judge the
work upon which the Big Three now
elects to stand.
There would seem TO be no recess
sion; no change. Premier Clemen-
ceau says the revised treaty must be
accepted or rejected within five days
| This time limit also serves as noti-
tcation to the Germans that unless
| they do sign the armistice granted
| November II will be terminated.
