Even the Conservative speakers in
sisted that this was not merely an
objection to surrendering the ex-
Kaiser, but surrendering any German
constituted an attack upon German
honor. Schiller received approval for

history was concluded with the great

President Wilson was sharply criti-
cised, especially by the Conservatives.
dents course in the Peace Conference
was a psychological riddle.
Karl assigned as a reason for re-
fusing Germany's signature that prac-
tically nothing remains of the Four
teen Points which Germany accepted
as the basis of negotiations. AS de-
noting the spirit of the extremists in
the Assembly, it is significant that
even extremists like Karl have ex-
pressed the belief that Germany would
be unable to fulfil the terms He also
declared that refusal to sign would
cause a break up of Germany, and
harped upon the we'll worn chord of
the Independents that signature was
necessary precisely for the reason that
it will hasten the world revolution.
Get News from Scapa Flow
While the vote was being taken fly
leaf extras dropped from an airplane
| were sold on the streets and eagerly
read by little groups throughout the
town. These newspapers contained an
account of the sinking Of the German
captured warships in the Scapa Flow
by their German crews. The extras
had characteristic editorial note cele-
brating "the last heroic achievement
Of our luejackets, who thereby
washed away much of the stain upon
their names and saved Germans from
the crushing shame of feeling that our
good German ships might cruise the
oceans for years under enemy flags
In going down the German flag prob
ably achieved its greatest glory"

Paris Glad of
peace at Last
Press Feels, Ho,Ueuer,
Task ahead Is Nearly
Equal to Winning War

PARIS, June 24.-In such headlines
az "Really Peace at Last" does the
press of Paris express it's relief ct the
al writers embroidcr their text with
comments in keeping with tho rrin-
cples professed By their respective
newspapers, but none of the writer's is
exactly jubilant. Underlying al, is
the feeling that the task that lies
ahead is almost equal to that Of win
ming the war.
"The task" says Alfred Capus, in the
Figaro" sis not above the strength of
this nation, which comes out of the war
with a prestige which remains only to
b, converted into prosperity"
Calls Peace n Mental State
peace is something more than
contract between the belligerent pow
ers," continues M. Capus. 1T also is
a mental state. 1t contains, if we know
how to extract the essence in full, a
policy and a social philosophy whose
formulas emerge day by day. Our in
tellectual life for a long age to come
shall draw our new methods Of feeling

Somme, it is you who have broken the
iLdomnitable arrogance of the Ger
mans! 1t is you who enabled mankind
to glimpse. if not to prepare for, an
era of lasting peace"
These quotations from the comments
Of the "Figaro" and the journal" are
characteristic of the general editorial
attitude.

PARIS, June 24.--In connection with
the discussion of the personnel of the
new German Cabinet, the treacherous
sinking of the German warships at
Scapa Flow is considered crushing
refutation of those who believed that
Germany had changed.
The French point out that the new
Foreign Minister, Herman Mueller, de-
celved the French Socialists in 1914

Reparations Issue Still
Delays austrian, Treaty

PARIS, June "a (By The Associated
Prcss).-The question of reparations is
still delaying completion of the Aus
trian treaty, owing to the difficulty of
allgning the small eastern states on
any general scheme for division Of the
resulting from the breakup of the
Hapsburg monarchy, with consequent
elimination of its responsibility for
reparations.
American experts have conducted ne
gotiations with representatives of the
states inheriting parts Of the Hapsburg
domains, including Poland, Czecho-Sl
vakia, JugoSavia and Rumania, for
several weeks, but the results have
been unsatisfactory to the council of
four, and French experts are now try
ing their hand.
The problem is decidedly complicat-
ed, because, on the one hand, it is
planned to charge these states with a
share of the Austro Hungarian fnan-
cial responsibilities proportionate to
the area and resources of the Haps-
burg territories acquired by them,
under the guise of contributions to
the cost of the war of liberation,"
while, on the other hand, Rumania
and Serbia are entitled to offsets or
reparations due them.
Poland and Czecho-Slovakia are not
entitled to reparations under the gen
eral principle of the Austrian and Ger
man treaties, which limit reparations
to the actual belligerents during the
war.
Certain changes in the permanent
reparations commission also are being
made to adapt it to Austrian condi-
tions. The German treaty provided only
for Serbian membership in certain
contingencies. But all these states will
be given seats and votes when their
interests are involved.
All sums delivered from Austrian,
Hungarian and Bulgarian reparations
will be pooled with the proceeds of the
German reparations for division among
the interested states in proportion to
proved claims. This is departure from
the plan contemplated in the German
instrument, which provided for a di-
vision according to prearranged quotas
the original apportionment assigning
55 per cent to France and 25 per cent
to England, the other states receiving
smaller percentages.
The council of three o-day received
another note from the Austrian dele
cation at st. Germain. The note en-
the peace terms for the liquidation of
private properties in certain parts of
the old Austro- Hungarian Empire.
Work on the Austrian peace treaty
was resumed by the council of three
to-day. The completion of the docu-
ment to be presented the Austrian del
egates is desired as speedily as pos
sible and work on it is expected to be
energetically pushed. In this process
financial experts were called before
the council at today's session.

World Peace Held
TO Rest With u. S.
Legal Experts Here Say
Senate Ratification Is
absolutely Necessary

The peace of the world rests in the
hands of the Senate OF the United
States. This was the concensus of
opinion expressed by prominent inter
national lawyers in this city yester-
day. The peace treaty cannot be rati-
hed until it has been accepted by the
Senate.
"It is a terrible responsibility the
United States Senate faces" said Paul
Fuller yesterday. 81 do not think there
will be any doubt about the other ma
tions ratifying the treaty. If the
United States Senate refuses and the
other nations sign this country tech
nically will be in state of war with
Germany while the rest of the world
is at peace with her.
IF the United States Senate sicns
the treaty without the league of na-
tlons there might .Ne other treaties be-
tween the Allied and associated govern
ments, but they would have little effect
unless we were parties. We are the
largest and strongest of the nations in
the pact and unless we ratify the
treaty there will be no confidence re-
stored in the world.
Two Things to Be Done
$50 far as the actual legal and tech
nical situation is concerned, there is
very little to do. Before the peace
treaty goes into effect two things must
be done: First, ratification of the
srreaty' SECOND, international exchange

power Is reposed in two persons (per-
sons m the legal sense); that is, the

the group which has now come into

impossible to find single figure of

The correspondent learns that had

Marshal Foch, with the approval of
the council of four, Immediately would

ment. This would have permitted the
