N. E. MADE
 TEDDY" RESIGN
Focced to Relinquish Chair. manship of American
 Legion.

Sk Louis, May 9-A New England
 man, Colonel John F. J. Herbert of Worcester, yesterday forced Lieuten-
 ant-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to re- sign as chairman of the caucus of the American Legion, which opened a three-day session here.
 The action of the head of New England's delegation came quietly and practically unknown, even while hundreds of the thousands and more delegates in the caucus hall were cheering themselves hoarse for Teddy
 Roosevelt had been nominated, had declined, been nominated again and elected by vote declared ''unani-
 mous." when the chairman of the New England delegation strode from the auditorium to the stage and quietly forced him to make his decli- nation emphatic enough to convince the delegates that he was sincere in his previous announcement that he would not serve as chairman. None but the newspapermen and a few of the New York and Ohio delegations, whose seats banked the stage of the Jefferson theatre. were aware of Col onel Herbert's emphatic insistence for Colonel Roosevelt's reiteration of dec1fhation.
 The New En gland delegates, from all SIX States, had been silent during 1 the demonstration staged for Colonel Roosevelt's benefit. They had not joine:l in the wild applause, the cheers. nor the long drawn out chants | of We want Teddy" And few be- sides the New England delegates and those who heard the straight from the shoulder ultimatum of Colonel Her bert were aware that the New Eng land delegation's head had insisted upon Colonel Roosevelt's final with drawal after a somewhat heated ex- change of words at the stage front during the wild demonstration, led by New York States delegation, in favor of the son of the late ex-President.

The German delegates to the Peace Congress are considerably divided among themselves in their views cn the peace terms submitted by the

 Henry, who was the only link between the Germans and the Allies up to the ! time of the presentation of Shle ] treaty, has ended his activities. l Among the arrivals was Count AL fred von Oberndorff, a member of the | German armistice commission. He | brought credentials as a minister 1 plenipotentary at the congress and is
 expected to take an important part in 1 the negotiations.
 l Comment in the German press on | the treaty handed the German dele- 1 gates at Versailles on Wednesday
 seems to indicate that Germany may l sign the treaty, bu- only under ths | strongest protest. and that the di- | plomatic efforts of the enemy may be 1 concentrated upon President Wilson | meanwhile for modification of the
