Berlin Forecasts
Negative Reply
Text Of REVISED Treaty
Causes Disn,ay, but
Terms viii Be Discussed

BERLIN, June II (By The Associ-
ated Press 1.-The impression of those
who were engaged throughout the
night in translating the reply of the
Allied and associated powers is that
it will be utterly impossible to sign
and that it is probable negative re-
ply Will be wired to Paris for SUBJ
mission to NJ. Clemenceau.
1t is also considered possible that
Count Won Brockdorf- Rantzau, head
of the German delegation, will not re-
turn to Versailles on account of the
demonstration there against the dele
gates, resulting in injury to Minister
Giesberts, Frau Dolblush, Attachs
Meyers and others, all of whom were
hit with stones. Herr Meyers eye
was injured by glass.
The changes in the peace terms, as
indicated by the red interlineations in
the text of the old treaty, are so slight
as to cause universal dismay among
those who have had the opportunity
of examining the document.
The financial notifications are con-
sidered unimportant and Objectionable.
The terms governing Germany's ad
mission to the league of nations are
declared to be unsatisfactory.
Government circles state that they
cannot conceive any government will
ing to sign such terms, though it is
admitted that the treaty will be fully
discussed, because it is realized that
serious effects, with the spread of
Bolshevism in Germany, would be en-
tailed in refusal to sign.
The Entente's answer, also, is con-
sidered nothing less than an ulti.
matum.

Young Croker Uses
Fists TO Settle Suit
Son OF E1-Tamn,ony Man

Fight to Decide Rights

Special Correspondence
GREENWICH, Conn, June 17.-Rich-
ard Croker, jr., son of the former chief
of Tammany, and Patrick Foy, until
lately Mr.. Croker's gardener, who has
been suing him for alleged back pay,
abandoned all legal subterfuges in East
Port Chester last night and settled mat
ters by the ancient trial by battle.
The scene of the encounter was a
vacant lot in East Port Chester; the
only witness, an attorney who has been
attempting to settle the judgment re-
Gently awarded Foy, and the wife of
either Mr.. Croker or Mr.. Foy. The
identity Of the woman has not been
definitely established, for battered Mr..
Croker and the almost equally bruised
Mr.. Foy can talk intelligibly with diff
Guilty to-day and refuse to talk at all
on one subject.
The two men met last night at the
attorneys office to discuss a settle1
ment. A few minutes after the con-
ference began the sound of scuffing
and heavy blows arose. Mingled with
them was the plea of the lawyer that
the contestants take the nght out
side"
They did. Hiring a hack, the men
repaired to a vacant lot, while the
lawyer and the woman witness fol-
lowed in an automobile.
No Homer will ever sing an epic Of
what transpired in the vacant lot, for
all of the witnesses are mute on the
subject. But the noises that rose
from its night-swathed midst inspired
some one to send the police report
that a pogrom had started in East
Port Chester
When the police arrived the warriors
werc resting and putting. The. fight
was over. Any ono could see that by
looking at either of them.
Who won?
Mr.. Croker settled tho judgment.

Vote Is Not Expected
Before Pact Is Signed

Anti-league Senat tors declared to-
night they scarcely expected the Demo-
Gratis to permit a test vote on the Knox
resolution before the signing of the
peace treaty. They can prevent it by
parliamentary tactics.
The outcome, however, is uncertain.
Many extreme predictions are made,
some going SO far as to say that if the
peace conference ignores the Knox
resolution the whole treaty will be re-
jected.
Senator Knox in his speech insisted
that the resolution itself was neither
pro nor anti-league, being "colorless"
as to this issue.
Nearly every Republican Senator
was in the chamber during the entire
address,, which took several hours to
deliver. A liberal sprinkling of Demo-
Gratis also appeared. The public GAL
leries were packed, even the diplomatic
gallery, for the first time in months,
being occupied. Only the Presidents
row was entirely vacant
Senator Knox asked that he be &C.
corded the usual courtsey," which was
taken by most Senators to mean that
he did not desire interruption. While
he was discussing regional under
standings" in connection with the
Monroe Doctrine, Senator Medill Nc
Cormick inquired:
"Do the international engagements
and regional understandings to which
reference is made in Article Fl in
clude the British-Japanese treaty for
the preservation of their respective
territories in the Far East?"
Certainly" responded Senator
Knox. "That was the primary pur-
pose of the language"

WASHINGTON, June 17-The Brit

England for New York next Friday, it
was officially announced to-day. The
huge aircraft is expected to arrive over
New York City on Sunday and pro-

made by Brigadier General L. E. o.
Charlton, British air attache here.
Roosevelt Field at Mineola, Long
Island, has been selected as the land
ing place for the R-34. Fifty me-
chanics were set to work yesterday
placing ten concrete blocks, each weigh
ing twenty tons, which will be used as
anchorages for the huge machine. These
mechanics were from the naval air sta
tion at Rockaway Beach. They will be
assisted by $50 others, who are expected
to arrive to-day. The whole work is

of the British Royal Air Force.
Special plans are being made there
for the reception of the big dirigible's
crew. A joint board of two admirals
and a captain from the navy and two
generals and one colonel from the
army has been appointed for this
purpose. Vice-Admiral Albert Gleaves
heads the navy's representatives and
Major General Charles 7. Menoher
heads those Of the army.
The trip from England to the United
States is expected to take fifty hours.
Hot weather causes expansion Of the
hydrogen gas and increases the lifting
capacity. lnasmuch as the load carried
will be light when the aircraft ar
rives, it is believed an easier landing
could be made in the cooler hours Of
the evening. Present plans call for
only an overnight stay Of eight or ten
hours II the craft can be rcfuelled and
fitted up for her return journey in
that time.
Local aviation officials expect the di-
rigiblc will fly over New York City
and surrounding country before land

The opinion prevails in Berlin that

presentation to the peace confer

The German Cabinet, sitting at

they will not.
In reporting the general nature Of

bitterly denounced the revised

In anticipation of a possible refusal
of the Germans to sign the treaty,

WASHINGTON, June 17-Hearings
before the Senate Military Affairs Com.
mittee to-day bearing on the army ap-
propriation bill brought out disclos-
ures regarding the Army Intelligence
Service and the dispositioh of surplus
army supplies, with the following high
spots:
During the war the Intelligence
Service was the only government
agency that studied radical and
revolutionary movements in the
United States as a whole. The De-
partmcnt of Justice merely dealt
with individual cases. A feature of
the Intelligence Service work was
the making of "Bolshevik map" of
greater New York, showing where
the Bolshevik and allied groups con-
gregated and held their meetings.
A great mass Of data was collected
regarding all the radlcaIS.
German Spy Plot Foiled
The Germans planned to have a
spy with every American division,
brigade and regiment. Owing to the
work Of the Intelligence Service they
did not get very far with their sys-
TEN, but a number of officers and
enlisted men representing it were
apprehended and tried by court mar
tial
The Germans even now are persis-
tently trying to break down the
morale of the American army in
Germany.
The Intelligence Service consisted

outbreak Of the war. Consequently,

kEOKUK NURSES
TO HAVE RANK?
Iowa Chairman is Working Hard tc
Have Lewis-Raker Bill Passed
in Congress Which Provides
for Nurses Rank.

| The fifty OF more Keokuk nurses
| who were members OF the army aurs-
ing corps and the Red Cross viii be
interested in the new movement
over the state Of Iowa 10 secure
frank for these nurses.
| Relative rank for nurses in the
limited States army is Defng strongly
advocated by Mrs. Max Mayer of the
extension division of the University
of Iowa, who is civilian chairman
of the Iowa division of the national
Icommittee to secure rank for nurses.
This is certainly time for united
action to induce congress 10 pass the
Lewis aker bill providing for rank
for these women" says Mrs. Mayer,
who cites the work Of army nurses
during the war as sufficient justifi-
cation for the honor.
! English, Canadian and Australian
nurses all have real rank, while the
English receive the pay of their
grade in addition to the right to the
! insignia and respect. The bill before
the American congress rs to give
rank to nurses, comforting at the
same time the respect which accom-
panies the position, but not the pay
nor the authority.
ut seems to me-" says Mrs. Mayer,
that relative rank is very little to
ask and very little for congress 10
give. The nurses do not ask for
power of command inherent to line
officer of the same rank. They only
wish the visual value Of the insignia.
Already the nurses have authority
greater than any enlisted man, but
less than a commissioned officer. A
bill is now before congress asking
rank for bandmasters. Surely the
Woodworking, self-sacrirlcing army
nurse might receive the dignity OF
rank. Her qualifications are OF the
highest She must be a graduate
nurse and must pass a rigid physical
examination like any other person in
the service. Trained army nurses
also serve at great financial sacri-
flee"
