GERMANY PREPARES
TO REFUSE TERMS
Most Radical Notifications
Demanded by Teutons.
By TIE Associated Press.

BERLIN, June IA (delayed) A can
vass of official quarters qualified to
speak for absent Government officials
this afternoon adduced the blunt, posi-
tive statement that unless the revised
proposals Of the Entente nations contain
most radical notifications in spirit and
in letter Germany would not sign the
peace treaty.
While the postponed delivery of the
Entente reply was looked upon as a
favorable omen. although one dangling
from the most slender thread, 1t may be
said tonight that the Government, so
far as ii is still represented in Berlin,
is not INDUCING in the luxury OF undue
illusions as TO what the next forty-eight
hours will bring forth.
Alleged notifications in the draft OF
the treaty. as reported TO Berlin through
neutral news sources, are rejected in
official quarters here as wholly insult
ficient TO warrant the prediction that the
Government will be inclined to subject
them to closer scrutiny. Emphasis was
also placed on the statement that the
Cabinet which is now fully represented
at Weimar. was absolutely united in its
attitude and that there was no prospect
OF an internal division which might
break up the present Government and
produce a new Ministry.
The latter declaration appears to have
been prompted by recurring reports that
Matthias Ersberger. chairman OF the Ger
man Armistice Commission, was willing
to take over the job of concluding peace
1t was also pointed out that the Peace
Commission of the National Assembly,
which took an active part In the formu-
lation OF the German counter proposals.
was solidly backing up the Cabinet in its
determination to refuse to sign any pact
not representing the greatest possible
divergence from the original proposals.
In view of this alleged solidarity, poll
teal onlookers here are unable to figure
out how Erzberger can possibly create
an unexpectedly new situation. Ere
berger has been brushing aside these
rumors, disposinE of them by referring
to the fact that the present coalition

an undisputed mandate from the German
people and from the National Assembly,
