Hymn Strono Men Loved.

At a memorial service in honor of Roosevelt at St. Nicholas church, New York, which he attended as boy, the pastor remarked that the dead mans favOrite hymn, from his childhood, was How Firm Foundation" That, also, was the favorite hymn of General Lee. It is notable that the same words ap- pealed to these two men, whose fates were so strangely different-the one successful and triumphant practically all his life, the other defeated soldier and victim of many sorrows.

HACERSTOWN SCHOOL
ADJUSTMENT WILL BE
REACHED THIS WEEK

William incl, president of the town
board of Hagerstown, believes that the
controversy between the town board
and the school board, which resulted
in the Hagerstown high school com
mission being revoked by the state
board last Saturday, will be straight
ened out this week.
""The difference of opinion between
the town board and school board, will
be Strengthened out our way or their
way this week." said Incl Monday
morning. Then Hagerstown has un-
til October to get her license back" ,"
1.-The school board wanted to build
a or room frame cottage addition
to the high school plant We believ-
ed that the three shacks they have
down there are enough, and would not
countenance a fourth. Our plan was
to build a permanent brick addition
to the high school, either separately
or as an annex"
Incl did not say when he expected
a meeting of the two boards, or an
adjustment of the difficulty. The
statement means that Hagerstown will
probably have a commissioned high
school next year, if the boards get
together soon enough.

Senate Debate on Peace
Treaty Goes Over Until
Tuesday.
lRy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, June 10 With
the senate debate on the league of
nations suspended until tomorrow,
when the Knox resolution proposing
a separation Of the league covenant
and the peace treaty will be brought
up, both branches of congress today
were occupied with appropriation
bills. In the house consideration Of
the naval bill was resumed with indi-
cations the measure would be passed
before adjournment.
The s36.000,000 agriculture appro-
priation bill with a committee rider
proposing repeal of the daylight saw

of Columbia appropriation bill were
to be reported out OF committee to

Efforts to increase the amount of the
appropriation and the size Of the
army as proposed by the house were
expected.
Senators of the opposing factions
today were continuing preparations
for the league of nations fight when
the Knox resolution is called up,

BELIEVE STATE TAX
TAX BOARD WILL
ALLOW BOND ISSUE

Although there is still some doubt
as to whether the state tax commission
will approve of a county bond issue
for the permanent improvement of
county roads, county officials are of
the opinion that the commission will
allow bond issue for at least part
of the roads.
At present, the bonded indebtedness
of the county is approximately 100000,
which with the issue of S55, 900 for the
completion of the Main street bridge,
will make total of S145000. The
limit of debt for the county is approx
S655, 900 for which the county may be-
imately 100000, leaving a margin of
come indebted. The cost of the new
road program, if carried out bill be
more than s750,00O, making it impos-
sible at the present time to issue
bonds for the entire program.

RADICAL CHANGE
IN TREATY TEXT
GERMAN DEMAND
Notifications Must Be Made
or Nation Will Not Sign,
Say Officials.
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, June ia canvass oe
official quarters qualified to speak for
absent government officials this after
noon adduced the blunt, positive state
ment that unless the revised proposals
of the entente nations contain most
radical indications 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 dang
ling from the most slender thread. it
may be said tonight that the govern
ment. SO far as 1t is still represented
in Berlan, is not indulging in the lux
ury of undue illusions as to what the
next 48 hours will bring forth.
Alleged notifications in the draft
Of the treaty, as reported to Berlin
through neutral news sources, are re-
jected in officials quarters here as
wholly insufficient to warrant the pre-
diction that the government will be in
clined to subject them to closer scru-
tiny.
United in Attitude
Emphasis was also placed on the
statement that the cabinet, which now
is fully represented at Weimar, was
absolutely united in its attitude and
that there was no prospect of an in
ternal division which might break up
the present government and produce
a new ministry.
The latter declaration appears to
have been prompted by recurring re
ports that Matthias ErZbarger. chair.
man of the German armistice commits
sion, was willing to take over the job
of concluding peace. 1t was also point.
ed out that the peace commission OF
the national assembly which took an
active part in the formulation of the
! German contemporaries, was solidly
/ backing up the cabinet in its determ
ination to refuse to sign any pact not
representing the greatest possible di
vergence from the original proposals.

PRESENT DRAFT

OhFNE i
PARIS, June 16.-It is anticipated
today that the Germans will ask for
an extension of time In which to reply
to the final peace conditions. The re-
quest, it is believed, will be based on
the fact that the Germans were given
only one revised copy of the treaty.
The delivery of the allied reply to
the German counter proposals was
postponed until o'clock this evening
The revised treaty will be delivered
with the reply.
The provision for civil control of
the territory on the left bank of the
Rhine, which had been tentatively
agreed upon was eliminated from the
third draft of the terms.
The German plenipotentiaries will
sign receipt for the treaty, writing
upon it the exact time from which the
five days limit within which they must
sign or reject the document will end.
The councl1 gave nnal consideration
of the provisions of the treaty before
they were presented. Premier Glenn
enceau communicated the provisions
to the French cabinet previously
The treaty was not presented in
complete printed form as revised.
The corrections in the original docu-
ments were written in red ink upon
one copy of the treaty and the Ger
mans were handed this and 80 other
copies upon which they can duplicate
| the correction for themselves.
Submitted at Weimar.
Immediately after receiving the
! document, the head of the German
mission, accompanied by several of
his colleagues left for Weimar, where
the treaty will be laid before the Ger
man national assembly. Assembled in
| Weimar are political leaders from all
Germany and it is probable that the
German cabinet will submit the whole
matter to them instead of taking upon
itself the responsibility of recon-
mending either acceptance or rejec-
ton of the terms.
A dispatch sent from Berlin on
Saturday said that the concensus of
opinions in official quarters there
seemed to be that the terms, unless
modified in spirit and letter" would
be rejected by Germany.
Sections of the Austrian treaty
which were reserved b ythe peace
conference when the main portions Of
the pact were laid before the Austrian
delegates at ST. Germaine will be pre-
sented Tuesday, it is reported from
Paris.
Marshal Foch, Gen. Bliss and other
military leaders today attended the
meeting Of the council of five today.
The meeting developed the nature of
a general windup of the German situa-
ton.
