the soldiers themselves would prefer to go into

I'VE had better sign the treaty and
have done with Il. But whether we
sign 1t or not, the worst Is yet to
come; and we refuse to cheer up"
That was apparently the attitude
of the greater part of the German peo-
pie on Friday, June 20, when this re-
view was written. However, at that
time II was impossible to forecast the
action that would be taken by the Ger
man government, and the news col
umns will tell whether the treaty was
signed or rejected. by Monday, June
%, at 9 40 p. m, Paris time, when the
time limit given the Germans expired.
Friday morning came the news that
the Scheidemann cabinet had fallen
and that Gustav Noske. minister Of de-
Tense, was to become head Of the new
government. This was taken to mean
that the treaty would be signed, as
Scheidemann had been the chief Oh
ponent of such a course. II was be-
iieved that the rule Of Noske would
amodnt to dictatorship. Another
story was that Bernstorff would sue
coed Brockdorff- Rantzau as head OF
the commission.
Disappointed. dismayed and thor
oughly angered by the final refusal Of
the allies to amellorate to any marked
extent the terms imposed on them, the
Germans ragged impotently against
their fate. Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau and his colleagues on the
peace commission united In advising
the cabinet to refuse to sign the treaty,
the cabinet to refuse TO sign the treaty.
In the national assembly at Wei
mar. where the treaty was to be con-
sidered. the majority socialists, II was
believed, would vote for signing. and
II was believed the Catholic center
and independent socialist parties also
would finally agree to accept the terms.
Throughout the former empire
sentiment was diverse. The south
ern states, which would suffer most
from invasion. were in favor OF yield
ing, while the northern provinces, es-
pecially East Prussia. we're strongly
opposed to such a course. Naturally,
the old pan-German element was bit
terly against the treaty, but that ele-
ment no longer rules in Germany.
