PARIS, May THE Entente Allies
and associated Powers are prearins
to throw complete secrecy over the
negotiations with the Germans at the
Peace Congress, which opened at Yer
sailles to-day with the delivery Of the
treaty, and probably will force the
Germans to consent to the policy Of
silence. The idea is to keep all
knowledge of the discussions from the
world until the treaty is ready to be
signed, probably the end Of this month
or early in June.
No one here believes that this pol
Icy will succeed. since the Germans
are relying upon publicity TO aid their
cause. The German delegates are pre-
pared to make their fight against the
peace treaty with counter proposals
as their weapons. They will direct
the same guile that filed the United
States with spies and tried to per-
suade Mexico TO attack the United
States In an effort to make the VIC
torious Powers take something Just

This IS established not only by re-
ports received from Versailles, but
from the interior of Germany. As
foretold by THE Sun. the Germans
intend TO make their chief fight
against territorial losses, including the
Saar Valley. Silesa and Danzig. on
the ground that the surrender Of these
would be violation OF the fourteen
points. They have prepared n clever
plan regarding reparations with which
they will try TO hoodwink the Allies
into helping them gain by trlckery

France and Belgium.
This proposal is that instead OF pay
ing a sum OF money for reconstructing
the destroyed regions Germany shall
herself rebuild them with her own
hands and materials. I'VE are willing
TO undertake reconstruction and fur
nish everything necessary" the Ger
mans will say
They propose that all German pris-
oners Of war shall be released and re-
turned to Germany and that German
mechanics, masons, carpenters and la
borers be sent to northern France to
do the necessary work. All stolen ma
chinery they will offer TO replace, tit

The effect Of this proposal would be-

Second. northern France would be de-

that Germany would furnish coal for
France-but that the Saar coal is un-

wants it. namely, TO feed blast fur

OUR DUTY TO SUPPORT THE
CEMETARY ASSOCIATION

1
The campaign for new men,
bers which the Ladies Cemetary
Association propose to launch
the first of the year is a move
ment which should receive the
support of every citizen Of the
town. Their work is one which
makes an irresistible appeal.
Those who have loved ones laid
away in Oakland find pleasure in
thinking this splendid oreaniza-
ton will be perpetuated and each
year these sacred grounds will
grow more beautiful as q result
of the Associations care. For
years the ladies of the associa-
ton have been quietly working
to make the cemetary a fiji rest
ing place for our beloved dead.
The handsome fence the broad
drive ways, the beautiful shlab-
berry and lovely flowers are
unmistakable evidence of the
taste fidelity and devotion Of the
women Of the Association.
Every citizen of Monticello is
justly proud of their work. hnt
now the question they wish TO
leave with each of us, "What
are you willing to do to help -
They fee, and rightly SO, that
the ideal way would be for each
home of Monticello to be rep

that end they propose to put on
this intensive campaign shortly
after New Years. The dues are
only S1.00 per year and the mon-
ey is expended for the improve
ments and upkeep of the
grounds.
The matter is not one that can
be lightly thrust aside. r we
have loved ones sleeping there.

come active members in the as

still the unwelcome truth re-

charmed circle will be broken.
So there is no family, counting

the maral obligation of giving
this movement the support
which it deserves. We really
should not wait to be invited to
join but should seak member
