NOANK

One of the biggest changes in real estate far-reaching in it's effects on the village of Noank is that of the purchase by J. H. Brown of the old building in Front street belonging to J. H. Latham estate. Mir Brown will at once take down the structure and replace il by an up- date large apartment house. His plans are not flu laymldurkN
 fully meatutred. but the lower part of the building will be used for rooms in which to d1S Splay antique treasures which he secures about the country from time time time. and perhaps other places of business may locate there.
 The upper part will contain the apartments of which Neank is so greatly in need. The view from the location is fine and it is. near enough to the central part of the town to be just about what is required. The river nearby gives convenient place for boating and trolley and railroad are both easy of access.

ways frankly in the public view. -
Germany is to put her signature
to the treaty laid before her and TO
carry it out. Even in her need, Justice
for her is too sacred thing to alisw
her to stoop to achieve conditions
which she can not undertake to carry
out. Treaties Of peace signed by the
great powers have, it is true, in the
history of the last decades again and
again proclaimed the right Of the
stronger. But each Of these treaties
of peace has been factor in original
ing and prolonging the world war.
Whenever in this war the victor has
spoken to the vanquished, at Brest-
Litovsk and Bucharest, his words were
but the seeds of future discord. The
lofty aims which our adversarles first
set before themselves in their conduct
of the war, the new era Of an assured
peace Of justice, demand treaty IN
stinct with a different spirit. Only
the cooperation of all nations, a CO.
operation of hands and spirits can
build a durable peace. We are under
no delusions regarding the strength
of the hatred and bitterness which
this war has engendered and yet the
forces which are at work for union
of mankind are stronger now than
ever they were before. The historic
task of the peace conference or Yer
sailles is to bring about this un1c cn.s

Count Won Brockdorff-Rantzau, head:
of the German peace delegation, thus

German contemporaries. The Ger

tonight by the state department.

its note asserts that it will refuse to
sign the present treaty, but declares
on behalf of the German nation that

not undertake to carry out

Iations commission
The note declares Germany is will
ing to pool her entire merchant ma
rine with that Of the associated
powers, and neutral participation ir
the inquiry as to responsibility for
the war is asked.
.'The text of the German note. dated
May 20, and addressed to Premier
Clemenceau, president Of the peace
conference, was made public by the
state department as follows:
Mr.. President:
'.I have the honor to transmit tc
you herewith the observations of the
German delegation on the draft treaty
Of peace We came to Versailles in
the expectation Of receiving a peace
proposal based on the agreed prin-
ciples. We were firmly resolved to dc
everything in our power with a view
Of fulfilling the grave obligations
which we had undertaken. We hoped
for the peace of justice which had
been promised to US. We were aghast
when we read in documents the de-
mands made by US by the victor
ious violence Of our enemies. The
more deeply we penetrate into the
spirit Of this treaty the, more con-
vinced we become Of the impossibility
Of CARRYING trout. The execution OF
this treaty is more than the German
people can bear.
with a view to the reestablish-
rnent of the Polish state, we must re-
nounce indisputably as German ter
ritory nearly the whole Of the prov
ince Of West Prussia. which is pre-
ponderantly German, of Pon1eranIa
.Danzig, which is German to the core
We must agree that that ancient
Hanse town be transformed into q
free state under Polish suzerain.ty
We must agree that East Prussia shall
be amputated from the body OF the
state, condemned to a lingering death
and robbed Of its northern portion, in
cluding Memel. which is purely Ger
man. We must renounce upper Sllesla

demand in excess Of the agreed condi-
tions reparation for damage suffer
ed by their civil population. The
sum to be paid is to be fixed by our
enemies unilaterally and to admit OF
subsequent modification and IN
crease. No limit is fixed save the ca
pacity Of the German people for pay
ment, determined not by their stand
ard Of life but solely by their ca
pacity to meet the demands of tier
enemies by their labor. The German
people would thus be condemned to
perpetual slave labor.
I'm spite of the exorbitant demands,
the reconstruction of our economic lie
is at the same time rendered lmpos-
sible. We must surrender our mer-
chant fleet. We are to renounce all
foreign securities. We are to hand over
to our enemies our property IN all
German enterprises abroad, even Of

States are to have the right OF con-
fiscating all German property NO

We must completely renounce our col
onies, and not even German MISSION
aries shall have the right to follow
their calling therein. We must thus
renounce the realization OF all our
aims in the spheres of politics, eco
nomics and ideas.
W.T. a
give up the right to self determlna-
ton. The international reparatlon
commission receives dictatorial pow
ers over the whole life Of our reo-
pie in economic and cultural matters.
It's authority extends far beyond thai
which the empire, the German led
eral council and the reichstag combln-
ed ever possessed within the territory
of the empire. This commission has
unlimited control over the economic
life of the State, Of communities and
of individuals. Further, the entire
educational and sanitary system de-
pends on it. 1t can keep the whole
German people in mental thraldoaa
In order to increase the payments due

lection of the German worker.
'tIn other spheress also Germany
sovereignty is abolished. Her CHIEF
waterways are subjected to interna'
tional administration. She must con.
f~struct in her territory such canals ano
such railways as her enemies wish
she must agree to treaties, the con
ditions of which are unknown to her
! to be concluded by her enemies witr
the new states on the east, even wheT
they concern her own functions. The
German people are excluded from the
league of nations, to which is entrust
ed all work of common interest to the
world.
Thus must whole people sign thf
decree Of its own prescriptions; nay
its own death sentence.
Germany knows that she mus

Germany knows that she has, b!

sacrifices and will go in this matter

She gives up the greater part Of the

testedly Polish in population, together
