HER SON MISSING
AS YANKS PULL IN

Joy reigned in the hearts Of hun
who were on hand yesterday at Pat-i
terson Hill northeast to greet the 400
Washington soldiers Of the 10th field
artillery who were passing through
Washington to Camp Meade, Nd.
But there was one sad little woman,
probably sixty-five' years old. About
3 o'clock she walked slowly over Pat
terson Hill to the railroad tracks.
Just near the tracks she found a Red
Cross station Entering she asked II
she could wait in there until the sol
der train came.
Shortly after 4 o'clock the train
pulled in Hundreds Of persons on
hand cheered and rushed to the
coaches. Sweethearts grabbed their
soldier boys and kissed them repeated
Iy. Mothers held their sons in fond
embrace. Fathers grasped the hands
OF their boys with every muscle in
their body quivering with pride.
Begins To Sob.
And all this time this little woman
looked on. She began sobbing. She
was standing in front of the coaches
alone Now and then she would scan
the faces of the doughboys in the
trains. Then she would turn her head
and sob again.
In the last coach the officers were
located. To them the little woman
walked. She looked from one of them
to another. Finally she approached
one of the captains.
MY boy, Charlie, was over IN
France with you. They say he stayed
in France. Is It so?'
The captain inquired the last name
and, upon the reply Of the woman,
answered in the Affirmative Then,
with tears in her eyes, the woman in
quired:
as he all rightg Is he sick? And
does he think Of his mother back
here?"
Captain Comforts Her.
The captain told her yes. He said
he was a fine lad, and would be home
very soon-he hoped so. anyway.
The little woman smiled, thanked
the officer, turned, and retraced her
steps over the hill For the first few
steps she smiled, for she had heard
something Of her son. Then she be-
gan crying.
She seemed to be the only person IN
the entire crowd who was disap-
pointed.
For forty minutes the soldiers re-
NAMED near Patterson Hill.

GERMAN REPLY Is LARGELY A
LONG SERIES OF COMPLAINTS

Paris.-The German reply to the
peace treaty submitted at Versailles
on May maintains that the enemies
of Germany have forsaken the peace
CT justice to which they had pledged
themselves in the armistice negotfa-
tons for a peace of might.
The reply protests against the pro-
posed terms individually and collect
lively, and demands a return to the
original agreements. 1t presses for
verbal negotiations and states that
Germany expects justice on a basis Of
equality and reciprocity.
(The reply follows the lines of the
summary Of the German counter pro-
posals given out in Berlin at about the
time they were presented.)
The document covers 119 pages and
includes a covering letter by Count
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau under date Of
May 20, which has already been pub
lished, and a second section Of COM
ments following the main outline of
the original draft treaty. Two sep"
arate papers on legal and financial
questions are included as part Of the
general reply.

MANY OF THE CHANGES TO BE
MADE OF MINOR CHARACTER
BUT OF MUCH IMPORTANCE.

British Warships Are Reported to Be
Bombarding Base Of BoIsheviL<i
at Kronstradt

Paris.-The council of four devoted
both of it's sessions to revision of the
peace treaty, preparatory to it's pres
entation to the German peace dele
gates.
The rewriting of the treaty of peace,
as announced in Paris dispatches, was
rendered necessary by the discovery
of errors and inconsistencies in the
draft as at first presented to the Ger
mans. Many of the changes to be
made are of a highly important nature.
But most of them are of a minor
character.
The latter is particularly true of the
reparations clauses, which will be vir-
tually unchanged in the new draft.
But the financial provisions will be
given discretion to allow Germany to
gather a working capital for the re-
sumption of her industries in order
that she may meet the requirements
Of the allies.
Holland has joined Switzerland, Nor
Norway, Sweden and Denmark in re-
fusing to take part in a blockade
against Germany should the latter re-
fuse to sign the peace treaty.
British warships are reported in a
dispatch from Stockholm to be bonn
harding the base of the bolsheviki at
Kronstradt The dispatch intimates
that the bolshev1ki are endeavering to
evacuate the base.

General Pershinq's War Map.

corded. The table at which the officers
looked over documents will stand as it
used to at one side, and the walls will
be covered with the identical Hneoleum
that was a background for the map.
The map was brought over in pieces

donal design of the lineoleum is said
to give an odd kitchenlike domesticity
to the room in which General Pershing
watched history writing itself in a
very literal sense on the wall.
