Sailing and playing for time by
handing in many voluminous protests
and promising TO produce many more,
the German delegates TO the peace con-
ference succeeded last week In gaining
an extension Of time to May 20 for
making their full reply to the treaty
terms. To expedite the work Brock
dorff Rantzau asked leave for spe-
cial train to take printing presses and
printers to Versailles.
Among the notes, he said, that are
TO be presented to the allies were
those dealing with Alsace-LOrraine,
with the occupied territories. with the
extent and discharge of the repara-
lions obligation undertaken by Ger
many, with labor laws, with German
private property in enemy countries,
and with territorial questions in the
east.

The answers Of the allies TO the
notes already submitted by the Ger
mans could not have given the latter
much encouragement as to results.
When they complained Of the taking OF
mines and nitrate beds they were told
the treaty did not prevent their buying
minerals and nitrates from other ma
tions; when they objected to the loss
OF their mercantile shipping and the
consequent loss of employment for
their sailors. they were reminded that
the allies were not thus nearly com
pensated for their losses due TO sub
marine ravages; and when they said
Germany would be unable 10 feed her
population II deprived Of agricultural
lands, they were told the reduction Of
population through the loss Of territory
left her fewer mouths to feed. and the
Ger ans could easily obtain agricul-
tural products from other countries.
The attitude OF the allied delegates
Is that their countries have suffered
far too much already. and II Is the
turn Of Germany. and they assert the
German people cannot shlrk the re-
sponsibility for the war because of a
partial and perhaps nominal change in
their form Of government and in It's
personalities. Such. indeed, was the
substance Of the reply of the council
Of four To the German note regarding
reparatiOns. I'm which the Hun dele
gates declared Germany would not ad-
NIT responsibility. They were told II
was too late TO take such a position
and that II was impossible 10 disaSso-
ciate responsibility from reparatiOn.
Having asserted the German people
would not have undertaken war OF
aggression. they are reminded that
they approved Of Secretary Lanslng's
note OF November 3. 1918. In which II
was stated that the obligation to
make reparation "arises out of Ger
many's aggression by land, sea and
air" The Germans asked that the re-
port of the commission on responsible
ity be communicated TO them; this was

The suffraglsts are about to reap
the reward of their years of strenuous
effort. The house last week passed
a resolution for suffrage amendment
to the Constitution, and there seems
to be no doubt that the senate will
take similar action, for enough votes

was 3O4 to SO, most Of the opposition

What shall he done with Turkey
was question that occupied the atten-
tlon of the council of four last week.
President Wilson acting rather In an
advisory capacity since America was
not at war with the Porte. Some Of the
delegates wish the sultan to be re-
moved to small territory In Asia

that to force the sultan to quit Con-
stantinople would cause great trouble
In the Mohammedan world. and there
fore the British prefer that he be left

An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has just developed
A number Of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned
declaring the treaty Is unacceptable to
them in many respects. They were
taken over 10 gather historical. racial
and other data. and they assert that
the mass of Information they handed
in has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than init
mate that the framing Of the peace
treaty degenerated quickly into a proc
ess Of bargaining and that Mr.. Wilson
was compelled to surrender his ideals
one after another In order to put
across his main idea of league Of
nations. According to these mnlcnn-
tents, the settlement Of the Saar basin

no confidence that the Italian muddle
