skirmish for Position

PARIS, Sunday, May 11-(By the Associated Press)-The first exchange between Count von Brockdorff- Rant Eau and the allies was considered a preliminary skirmish to the main bat tie and as disclosing the allied posi- ton, as in effect:
 Accept the treaty as it stands. or reject 1t, one or the other, as there is no middle ground"
 This was the prevailing view today in conference circles, generally, after the four notes had been analyzed. The head of the German delgation also was thought to accept this construction. as reports were that he was giving his chief attention to the formulation of a complete treaty which he would pre- sent as a counter project in about five days, instead of seeking to amend or modify the terms of the allied treaty. (Since the foregoing was written however, two additional notes by Count von Brockdorff- Rantzau were disps tched.)
 This counter treaty would be treated the same as the German plans for a league of nations, neither of which will be considered, the only question beine the acceptance or rejection of the aI- lied treaty.
 The German project for a league ot nations, which the reply to Count vor Brockdorf-Rantzau said had been re. ferred to committee, had not reached the committee on the league of nation: today, but members of the committee said 1t was generally known to have been drawn by Prof. Scheclzing of tn, German delegation and that it was il the form of a general thesis on tn,

.PROGRESSIVES WILL !. OPPOSE PENROSE AND
 WARREN FOR HONORS

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Repubh can senators continued today to discuss plans for organization of the new sen ate, preparatory to the meeting of the party caucus Wednesday. The confer ence centered about the opposition of the progressive group of senators to the selection of Senators Penrose of Pennsylvania and Warren of wyoming as chairmen of the finance and appro- priations committee, respectively.
 Leaders of both the regular and the progressive groups tonight said the situation apparently was unchanged, except as to the number of the latter group willing to carry their opposition to Senators Penrose and Warren to the floor of the senate.
 Several senators, considered as be- longing to the regular group, asserted that but two or three progressiVes would carry their attack to the floor, while the progressives said they did not know how many of them would go the limit" Senator Borah of Idaho leader of the forces opposing Senators Penrose and Warren, said he would never vote for Penrose," but added he was unable to speak for the others who declined to say whether they would go beyond the party conference.
 The progresives were said to have admitted their willingness to support Senator Shoot of Utah, for the ap- propriations committee, but refused tc favor him as president pro tenn The Utah senator was understood among both grocps as willing not to seel election as president pro tenn. Sena' tors Johnson of California and Lenroo | of Wisconsin, were mentioned by tht progressives as acceptable to them fol president pro tenn, but neither has sig nified a willingness to seek the office Formal notice of the attitude of th' progressive group was given to Sena tor Lodge of Massachusetts, republi
 can leader, by Senators Borah anC Johnson and it was understood tha they were told by the party leader tha' l their fight was solely one for consid

BERLIN, Sunday. May 11.-CBy the Associated Press) - Germany has seized and unfurled a new banner, on which are inscribed President Wilson's fourteen points, which the president apparently has deserted" said Fried rich Ebert, the German president, in a statement to the Associated Press today.

Two DeIeqates Depart

VERSAILLES, May 12.-(By the As sociated Press)-Herr Geisberts and Herr Landsberg of the German peace delegation, accompanied by several secretaries, will leave Versailles to- night for Berlin.
 The departure of Iandsberg and Giesberts is in no sense to be inter preted as a breach in the peace nego- tiabons. These plenipotentiaries not only have the important ministerial portfolios, respectively of justice and posts and telegraphs, but are among the most influential political leaders in Germany. Landsberg is regarded as the brains of the majority socialists, while Giesberts is very high in the councils of the catholic party and the catholic labor unions. Their counsel ls therefore required by the govern ment in determining it's attitude to- ward the peace conditions.
 IL ts understood that both the minis 5erS will return to Versailles in case 'he peace treaty is signed.

BITTER AND SULLEN GERMANY TO ACCEPT TERMS NEVERTHELESS

COBLENZ, Saturday, May 10.-CBy the Associated Press)-The impression gained by American officers, through talking with Germans regarding the peace terms, is that many of them are bitter and sullen, but are inclined to resign themselves to accept any terms, no matter how harsh. No concrete plan of action has been suggested, in the event the German delegates at Yer sailles refuse to sign the treaty.
 American officers say the common people in the occupied area have wide ly divergent views but that as a whole, they appear more or less stunned. Many of them seem crushed, uut others are showing a spirit of bravado.
 One American who had circulated freely among the civilians reported that none of them expected that Ger many would accept the terms. They said they could not see how the people would be able to pay the indemnities | demanded, if their commerce was re- stricted and all their colonies confis- cated, and, in addition, Germany had to cede territory belonging to the mainland.
 They asserted, furthermore, that the internal resources of Germany alone were insufficient to permit of the pay ment of indemnities for generations tc come.
 An army intelligence summary out | lines reprts received from various civilian groups and individuals as fol | lows:
 Under existing conditions, it is i'm possible for Germany ever to pay it: war debts. Before the war. Germany l had only 10000, 100000 marks in gold and the demand for pounds sterling il gold or merchandise in the first two years is absurd. How are we to pa1 where there are no goods-if we hay, neither money nor credit with which ts purchase materials or ships, if ours ar, taken by the allies?"
 Several civilians, according to tn, summary, expressed the opinion tha the peace conditions were very hard but still were not as severe as som had expected, and that they woul, rather that Germany accept them thai invite consequences of refusal.

 As a precautionary measure, two troops of the first United States cav airy, under command of Major Wilson HeatoD, were sent to San Bernardino ranch, 16 miles east or Douglas, to strengthen the border patrol. This was done by order of Brlgadier General Howard R. Hickok, commanding the Arizona military district Other border patrols to the west of here are under stood to have been strengthened also, This step was dictated purely by cau- ton. many rumors of uprising in Son. ora being adoat, although not credited in well informed circles. However. il is admitted that unless the rural guards succeed in rounding up the band they are after, there is possibility

ARMY OF OCCUPATION


Every letter that comes from sold
iers of Alexandria and other Ameri-
can cities in Europe shows that there
is an intense desire among the troops
to come home. They were eilthusl-
astic fighters and have don> what
they went over to do-they have
whipped the Germans.
AS a contemporary says, can army
of occupation in a foreign country
should be a regular standing army,
composed of men who had enlisted
for the regular term and prepared
TO perform whatever duty that might
be assigned to them. But for men
who volunteered for the war, or who
were drafted and taken away from
their families and their vacations IN
life, to remain Indefinitely away DO
ing police duty in foreign land,
there is naturally discomfort.
The War Department understands
this perfectly, and had a remedy pre-
pared. The Army bill, which was de
fpated by certain Senators, contained
provision for Il regular RAINY OF
1000 men, made up by voluntary
enlistment OF men %ho were willing
ana expecting to do service in for
e:gn lands. This army would have
been sufficient to release all who de-
sired to get home.
.To the enlisted man of the regu'
lar army, foreign service under sucf
conditions as the Army of Occupa
ton in Germany finds is no hardship
Those that enlist are generally
Young, unmarried men with no bust
ness engagements or regular occupa
tons that they wish to continue. The
spirit of adventure may make then
enjoy the novelties of foreign service

n:i!itary post in Germany is probabl!

than service in military post in tn
