HUN ARMY APPEALS
FOR VOLUNTEERS
Resistance to Peace Terms Not
Intended, Leaders Say.
MODS IN BERLIN PROTEST
Dispatch Declares Germany's Reply to
the Terms Will Probably Be De-
Iayed-New War Is Possibil-
ity, 1t Is Asserted.

Berlin, May 19.-Although govern
ment leaders insist armed resistance
to the peace terms is out of the ques-
ton, the army leaders are appealing
to the Silesian population to join the
volunteers.
The regiments composed OF these
men, it is planned are to defend the
country by concentrating on the Dor
der. The German leaders have dis
solved the Polish supreme peoples
councils.
Mobs Protest Terms.
Gigantic demonstrations took place
in Berlin Sunday protesting against
the peace terms. Chancellor Scheide-
mann and members of his cabinet ad-
dressed large crowds. The spirit of
all the demonstrations was one Of de-
fance, which was famed to intense
fury by the speakers, who warned the
pOpulace to stand united against the
foreign foes" and to avoid all domes-
tic disorder. The day marked the end
of the "sackcloth and ashes week de-
CI0ou ny IioSluouL EUoIl.
The preamble of Germany's main
answer to the peace terms already is
en- route from Berlin to Versailles, it
was learned at the headquarters Of
Count Won Bernstorff, "home chief" of
the German peace machinery.
1t was added that it was doubtful
whether the complete German answer
would be delivered by Wednesday, the
date stipulated by Clemenceau. EX-
tension of at least few days is ex-
pected in official circles.
Dispatches to German newspapers
from Versailles say the original plan
of contrasting the peace treaty, chap
ter by chapter, with the IA points has
been abandoned and instead of con-
densed expose of the alleged conflicts
with those points will be fled
Officers Oppose Terms.
German officers are opposed to the
terms, as they would mean that $4,000
of them would be jobless.
What is going to happen? There
are three answers:
1. The government will accept re-
yised terms, enabling them to remain
in office. This would not be for long,
however, as hunger would increase the
revolutionary spirit, causing the over
throw of the ministry.
g. The Volunteer army will fight
with all force, inasmuch as defeat
would end their career anyway.
g. The government might resign
without making a decision. This would
unite the three imperialistic parties.
