ROEBUCK GASOLINE
BILL MAKES SOME
PROGRESS INHOUSE
q YHERRERT FELKEL.

Tallahassee, May 29.-Afte ran UNI
successful effort to indefinitely post
pone it following the adoption of all
the committee amendments, the Roe
buck house bill providing for full
measure and proper standard in the
sale OF gasoline, went to the senate
committee on engrossed bills having
been read a second time. One amend
ment reduces the. number of inspectors
from four to three and provides that
one shall reside in Pensacola, one in
Jacksonville and the third in Tampa
The bill viii become effective ninety
days after its approval. The amend
ments were recommended by senate
judiciary B committee. The motion
to indefinitely postpone the measure
was made by Senator Wilson, who
did not want to create any more jobs
and thus increase the number of in
spectors living off the public. Sena-
tor Carlton favored the bill, decIarin g
that IL the state was being imposed
upon by anybody it was the dealers
in gasoline.
Senator Singletary said the bill
provided for an analysis to be made
at any time customer was doubt
full of the purity of the gas sold If
Florida continued without such law
it would be dumping ground for
poor gasoline which would be refused
by other states having such statutes,
he declared. Senator Carlton said
the bill should not be classed with
those creating new state jobs because
the tax would take care of the in
spectors' salaries and the department
would thus carry it's own weight But
Senator Wilson replied that the poo
pie would eventually have 1t to pay
because the tax would be added to
Florida already had enough travelling
inspectors.

jill. SMTTHWICK
IS GIVEN TWO
APPOINTMENTS
LOCAL CONGRESSMAN Is ON IN
DuSTRlAL ARTS AND PEN
SlONS COMMITTEE, BUT Is NOT
SATISFIED.
BY GEORGE Il. MANNING.

Washington, D. c.. May 29.-Con-
gresham J. H. Smithwick. of Pensa-
cola, has been placed on the commit
tee on industrial arts and expositions
and the pensions COMMITTEES.
These two committees while not of
the highest importance. are neverthe-
less rather important and desirable.
Most members. too. only get one COM
1nittee assignment. The fact that num-
erous Industrial and art exhibitions
are planned by the government makes
this committee of more than the usual
Importance.
These committee assignments are
not by any meanss however, what Mr.
Smithwick would have had il he had
been able to take his choice.
Congressman Smithwick made his
bow in congress at particularly ua-
fortunate time for obtaining desirable
committee places. In the last con-
gress the democrats had a majority
membership of thirteen on all the
committees. This is being reduced to
a minority membership of eight in
this congress. Consequently five
members have 10 be taken off. all
the committees. and these five on
account OF the seniority rule have
the call for committee places over
newly elected members. This forces
the new members to take what is left.
and there is very little remaining
after the old members have had their
choice.

German people, even though they will

inc downfall, a rapid physical down

The stipulation in the peace terms
that Germany must surrender thou-
sands of milch cows, swine, beeves and
other domestic animals, to replace
those lost by the Allies through the
war, has created the most bitter and
violent protest among rich and poor
alike.

mand as "monstrous and impossible"
and calls attention to the frightful

last night issued a statement to the
effect that the reply of Premier Gle
hbenceau to the note of the German
peace delegation regarding the peace
treaty, "although it seems to reject q
discussion, implies q renewed adher-
ence to the agreement of October and
November, 1913 (armistice), and hints
that practical proposals may be made
for negotiations on the draft" The
statement adds:
THAT such negotiations are contem-
plated appears from the fact that the
Allies on Saturday asked for several
printed copies OF the German proposals
on the league of nations and the labor
charter Premier Clemenceau's reply
to the German note on the league
evades the central point of the ques-
tion.'

Germans Are Bitter,
But VIII Not Reject
Terms. Officers Saw

COBLENZ, May 10 (By The Asso-
celated ess).-The impression gained
by American officers through talking
with Germans regarding the peace
terms is that many of them arc bitter
and sullen, but arc inclined to resign
themselves to accept any terms, no
matter how harsh they may be. No
concrete plan of action has been sug-
gested in the event the German dele
gates at Versailles refuse to sign the
treaty.
American officers say the civilians
in the occupied area have widely diver
gent views, but that, as whole, they
appear more or less stunned. Many
of them seem crushed, but others are
showing spirit of bravado.
Several German officials are quoted
as having said that the terms are more
severe. than they had expected but

German delegates to argue against
some of the conditions imposed, they

the German President in statement
to The Associated Press to-day.
President Ebert called the peace
treaty "monstrous document" He
declared that history holds no prece-

President Ebert declared that the
worlds youngest republic, in the hour
of gravest peril, had weighed it's over

In a statement Intended primarily
for the American people, which he
designated "a moral declaration of
war upon all that remains of the old
system of international politics." the
first President of the German Repub-
lie discussed with outspoken frank
ness the peace situation, the state of
the German people and the prospect of
the Immediate future.
Big demonstrations against the sign

were held In Berlin, Breslau, Danzig,
Koenigsberg, Cassel, Bochum and
other places. The demonstrations were
organized by the National Peoples
Party.

Althoughg the Independent Social
lists at the outset of the discussion
over the peace treaty adopted the
STANDPOINT that peace must be signed

OF public expression, violent in it's pro-

them to reconsider their view, many of
them joining the multitude taa: - pro-

IN the name of the Independent So

Workmen's Councils of Greater Berlin
that such "a dictated peace of cruel
severity" as the Entente desires to i'm

lasting peace. Therefore he demanded

Herr Mueller, another of the Inde-

again to assail the old imperialstc
regime in Germany, which he declares
incurred blood guilt by the invasion of
France and Belgium and the destruc-
tion of mines and industries.
Arguing against the prevalent pro-
tests Karl Kautsky, writing in the In
dependent organ "Die Freiheit," saws:
