VERBAL NEGOTIATIONS AND REC
IPRocITY ASKED FOR IN
REPLY TO TREATY.
WANTS IN NATIONS LEAGUE
Assalls Abolition of German Rights
and Claims They Have Shown
Ability to Share Task Of
World Colonization.

Paris.-The German reply to the
peace treaty submitted at Versailles
maintains that the enemies OF Ger.
many have forsaken the peace of jus.
ttce to which they had pledged them.
selves in the armistice negotiations
for peace of might. The reply, an
official summary of which was made
public here protests against the pro.
posed terms individually and collec.
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 and a second
section of comments following the
main outline Of the original draft
treaty. Two separate papers on legal
aid financial questions are included
as part of the general reply. Both
English and French translations have
been furnished in pamphlet form.
The reply begins with detailed
analysis of the legal basis of peace,
alleges fragrant series of contradic.
lions to this basis and points out that
the results would be the complete en-.
slavement Of the German people and
the betrayal Of all the worlds cher
shed hopes OF peace.
In the contemporaries Germany
demands immediate admission to the
league OF nations as part of the spirit
OF the armistice agreement and as
necessary for the acceptance Of the
proposed military, naval and air
terms. She analyses the territorial
changes demanded, claiming that the
right OF self-determination has been
willfully violated.
Germany bitterly assails the aboli.
ton Of all German rights outside of
Europe as irreconcilable with the pre-
limlnary negotiations and as wholly
impossible to a great people who not
only have supreme needs for markets
and supplies, but who have shown
themselves capable of sharing the
world task Of colonization.
Germany is wholly unable to accept
the reparations commission set up by
the allies as involving an infringe.
ment OF her sovereignty, but proposes
a cooperative German commission to
work alongside it, She accepts re.
sponsibility only for civilian losses In
occupied B\gium and France and
agrees to maximum payments OF 100.
OO0,OOO,0O0 marks, provided the other
terms as to colonies, overseas trade
and territories are accepted as she
proposes.

Sixteen Hours and Twelve Minutes

From America to

London-The final goal Of all the
ambitions which flying men have ven

Capt. John Alcock and Lieut.. Arthur

after the first nonstop flight across
the Atlantic ocean.
Their voyage was without accident
and without unforeseen incident, II
was straight-away, clean-cut flight,
achieved in 16 hours and - minutes
from Newfoundland to Clifden, Ire
land, a distance of more than, 1900
miles.
But the brief and modest descrip-
ton which comes from the airmen at
Clifden tells of an adventurous and
amazingly hazardous enterprise. Foe
and mists hung over the North At
lantic, and the Vickers.Vimy biplane
climbed and dove, struggling to extrf
cate herself from the folds of the air
planes worst enemy.
She rose to 1900 feet, swooped
down almost to the surface OF the
sea, and at times the two navigatora
found themselves flying upside down
only 10 feet above the water
Before coming to earth near the
Clifden wireless station Alcock cir
eled the wireless aeriaIs, seeking the
best spot to reach the earth But no
suitable ground was found, SO he
thanced 1t in bog.
The wireless staff rushed to the aid
OF the aviators. They found Brown
dazed and Alcock temporarily deaf
ened by the force of the impact. AS
soon as they were able to be escorted
10 the wireless station they tele
graphed the news to their friends;
then had breakfast.
"That is the best way to cross the
Atlantic" said Lieut.. Brown, after he
had eaten.
In taking the ground the machine
struck heavily and the fuselage
ploughed into the sand. Neither OF
the occupants was injured.
Much of the flight was made
through fog, with an occasional driz.

siderably during their journey,
Capt. Alcock explained the silence
of his radio instrument during the
trip by saying that the wireless pro
peller blew off soon after the air.

WILSON'S 7 SHOTS AT
FOOD PROFITEERS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-In an
address to Congress on the high cost
of living, President Wilson told the
lawmakers that he intended to have
the Government dispose at cost of
all food and clothing on its hands.
He stated that wheat exports would
be limited, that storage supplies
would be placed on the market, that
traders who seek to control supplies
and prices would be prosecuted, and
that profiteering retailers would
be exposed.
Congress was asked to pass the
following legislation:
Extend life of the present food
control act, which expires when the
war is officially ended, and include
other commodities.
Exclude goods from interstate
commerce if law is not complied
with.
Impose a penalty for proIlteerlhs'
The food law now prohibits prof
iteering, but imposes no penalty.
Limit the period during which
goods may be kept in cold storage,
Require that prices at which
goods are placed in storage be mark
ed upon them.
Require that all food destined for
interstate commerce shall be marked
with the price at which they left
the hands of the producer.
License and regulate corporations
engaged in interstate commerce to
prevent "unconscionable profits.
