Professor Delbrueck Says Presi-

BERLIN, May 23 (By The Associated

member of the German peace delega-

correspondent of the "Tageblatt" at
tacks President Wilson for having put
himself completely in the hands of the
French and British by agreeing to de-

added, 'probably imagines he did US =

mands as the cession OF the left bank
of the Rhine and the dissolution of
Germany into several small states. In
reality such demands would have been
better than the present conditions, be-
cause we are so bound by the latter

Wilson knows European conditions too

gagged either in training for armies
or in producing instruments of
destruction will henceforward be
available for peaceful avocAtions and
for increasing the industrial pro-
ductiveness Of the nation. No re-
suit should be more satisfactory to
the German people.
But the first condition Of any
such recuperation would appear to
be that Germany should recognize
the facts of the present state of the
world. which she has been mainly
instrumental in creating, and realize
that she cannot escape unscathed.
The share which she is being called
upon to bear of the enormous
calamity that has befallen the world
has been apportioned by the vic
torious powers, not to her deserts,
but solely to her ability to bear it.
All the nations of Europe are suf-
fering from losses, and are bearing,
and will continue to bear, burdens
which are almost more than they can
carry. These burdens and losses
have been forced upon them by the
aggression of Germany. 1t is right
that Germany, which is responsible
for the origin of these calamites,
should make them good to the ut
most of her capacity. Her hardship
will arise not from the conditions
Of peace, but from the acts of those
who provoked and prolonged the war.
Those who were responsible for the
war cannot escape it's just conse-
quences.

China TO Sign, but
With Reservations
Expected to accept All
Terms Except Kiao-
chau and Shantung

PARIS, May % (By The Associated
Press).-The Chinese delegation to the
peace conference is understood to have
reached decision to sign the treaty
of peace with reservations relative to
kiao-chau and Shantung 1t is said
this Will not affect the treaty as a
whole and will preserve the rights of
China
Precedents are cited in which the
United States Senate has similarly
attached reservations to treaties be-
fore ratfying them.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-Confrma-
tion of the report from Paris that the
Chinese plenipotentiaries are disposed
10 sign the peace treaty has reached
here. Probably the approval of the
Chinese government at Peking and per-
haps that of the Chinese Parliament at
Canton, in the South Of China, will be
regarded as necessary by the Chinese
delegates, however, before they can
carry out their purpose. The pleni-
potentaries under their credentials, in
fact. are fully empowered 20 sign the
peace treaty, but it is believed that as
a precautionary measure they will
afford the home authorities an oppor-
tunity to express their views.
The reservation under which the
treaty will be signed is regarded here
as ample to insure the Chinese gov
ernment opportunity to bring before
the council of the league Of nations,
or the league assembly, their claim to
the absolute and unqualified rcstora =
ton Of the whole Of the Shantug
peninsula. Notwithstanding the efforts
made by the Japanese delegates to have
this matter of title declared res

that considerable portion Of the

have entirely escaped the notice of

were its victims, or why Germany,
who deliberately made herself re-
sponsble for the deficiency, should
not, to the full limit of her capacity
make it good.
Stress is also laid upon the hard
ships alleged to be inflicted upon
Germany by the necessity of i'm
porting in future iron ores and zinc.
1t is not understood why Germany
should be supposed to suffer from
conditions to which other countries
contentedly submit 1t would ap-
pear to be a fundamental fallacy
try is essential in order to procure
reasonable share of its products.
Such a proposal finds no foundation
in economic law or in history.
Economic Disaster
Is Called Universal
The Allied and associated powers
cannot accept the speculative esti
ate presented to them in the German
note on the future conditions of
German industry as a whole. This
estimate appears to them to be
characterized and vtalized by pal
pable exaggerations. No note is
taken of the fact that the economic
disaster produced by the war is
widespread and indeed universal.
Every country is called upon to suf-
fer. There is no reason why Ger
many, which was responsible for the
war, should not suffer also.
Similarly, as regards the popula
ton Of the future, no reliance can
be placed on the data which are con-
tanned in the German note. On the
one hand it is sought to prove that
emigration from Germany will be
necessary, but that few countries
will receive the intending imm-
grants. On the other hand, it is
sought to show that there will be
a flood of Germans returning to
their native land and live under the
conditions which have already been
described as intolcrable. 1t would
be unwise TO attach too much weight
to either speculation.
Finally, the German note rashly
asserts that the peace conditions
will logically bring about the de-
struction Gloss" in originaD of sew
eral millions of persons in Germany,
in addition to those who have per-
ished in the war or who are alleged
to have lost their lives in conse-
quence Of the blockade Against the
war losses of Germany might very
fairly be placed the far greater
losses which her initiative and con-
duct of the war have inflicted upon
the Allied countries and which have
left an ineffaceable mark upon the
manhood of Europe. On the other
hand, the figures and the losses
alleged to have been caused by the
blockade are purely hypothetical
The German estimate of future
losses could be accepted only if the
premises upon which it is presumed
to rest are accented also

Loss of Shipping
Is Laid to Enemy

AS a partial Offset against the
twelve and three -fourths million
tons of shipping sunk, it is proposed
TO transfer four million tons Of
German shipping. In other words
the shipping which it is proposed to
take from Germany constitutes less
than one third of that which was
thus wantonly destroyed. The uni
10 the result, not of the terms of
peace, but of the action of Germany,
and no surprise can reasonably be
felt if she is called upon to bear
share and 1t is very moderate
share-of loss for which her own
criminal deeds have been responsible.
Great stress is laid on the pro-
posal that on the eastern side Ger
many shall be deprived of the re-
gions specially devoted to the pro-
duction of wheat and potatoes. This
Is true. But the note fails altogether
to observe that there is nothing in
the peace treaty to prevent either
the continued production of those
commodities in the areas in question,
or their Importation into Germany.
On the contrary. the free admis-
sion of these products of the east
ern districts is provided for during
g period of three years. Moreover,
1t is fortunate for Germany that
those regions have lost none of their
productivity owing to the ravages
of war. They have escaped the
shocking fate which was dealt cut
by the German armies to the CORE
spending territories in Belgium and
France in the west, and Poland,
Russia, Rumania and Serbia on the
east. There appears to be no reason
why their produce should not con-
tinue to find a market on German
soil
