While these diplomatic exchanges
were going on, President Ebert, Chan
cellor Scheidemann and others were
intiaming the German people with vio-
lent denunciations of the treaty and
declarations that Germany never
would submit to it. All Of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment of the
fourteen points by the allies, and Pres
ident Wilson was bitterly attacked as
q traitor to mankind and a weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposed in him by the people
of Germany. President Ebert told his
applauding hearers that he feared an
outbreak of psychic Juror teutoni-
Gus" within few days and that the
wrath of the soul of the people when
it reached the boiling point would
know no bounds as result of the deep
disappointment and anger born of fury
and just indignation.
The position taken by the govern
ment heads is supported by all fac
tons except the Independent Social
ists-Haase's crowd-who, while de-
claring the treaty oppressive, advise
that it be signed. This may be ex
planned by the probability that if the
treaty is signed the present govern
nlent will be forced to give way to one
made up of Independent Socialists.

In some ways the treaty with Aus
tria. it is said, will be like that with
Germany. Austria is to lose her en-
tire navy. according to the reports,
and there is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are delimited she will
find that her southern frontier is push
ed back so far that Italy will have
not only the Trentino and Trieste, but
also all the strategic passes and
heights In the Alps which the Italians
saw are necessary to their future Sc
curity. This is in accordance with
the secret treaty OF London. In the
matter of reparation Austria OF course
will be required to pay certain sums,
but these will be small in comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. The clauses concerning water
ways are much like those in the Ger
man treaty. The breaking up of the
Austro- Hungarian empire has result
ed in reducing Austria to rather
small fourth rate power without direct
access TO the sea, and 1t Is the aim OF
at lenst some of the allied nations to
keep her in that condition. BY her
self she is comparatively harmless;
uniteti with Germany, she would help
largely to make up nation that might
again threaten the peace OF the worlu.

One of the most seriously taken of
the German objections was to the
treaty terms concerning labor reforms,
and with 1t was sent draft of an
international agreement on labor law.
To this the allies replied at length,
showing that the treaty fully covered
all the points raised and that its pro-
visions were more satisfactory than
those in the German proposition,
wherefore the allied and associated
governments are "of the opinion that
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which the German delegate
processes for social justice and insure
the realization of reforms which the
working classes have more than ever
right to expect after the cruel trial
TO which the world has been subjected
during the last five years."
Yet another German note dealt with
the economic aspect of the peace
terms, declaring that If enforced they
would bring death to "many millions
of people in Germany, all the more
quickly as the nations health is al
ready broken by the blockade"

Despite protests, denunciatiOns and
wailing. it was still the opinion of the
well-informed in Paris that the Ger
mans would sign the treaty before the
expiration of the period of grace al
lowed them. The possibility that they
would persist in their refusal, how
ever, has been amply provided for and
the plans of the allies in that con-
tingency are complete. Marshal Foch
already las been sent to the Rhine
land by he council Of four to take
such milf action as may be neces-
sary and the council also has made its
plans for the immediate re-imposition
of the blockade on Germany. At Co

Won Brockdorff- Rantzau and MS
colleagues on the German delegation,
together with their numerous experts
have been as busy as bees formulat-
ing objections to the German treaty
Several of these We're transmitted TO
the allies last week and most OF them
were rather summarily answered. ana
dismissed. These formal objections
were considered mere preliminary
sk,rmjshes. and meanwhile the Ger
mans were preparing elaborate coun-
ter-rroposals. These, 1t Is said would
ohptajn two dominant diplomatic fea-
,ures-on exaltation OF the. league or

that there be a "pure application" of
