Germans Disappointed
at Absence of Labor
Men Among Allies

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. Friday, May First re-
ports from the German newspaper
men at Versailles appeared at noon
today In the Neue Zeitung am Mittag
and an extra edition Of tho Lokal An
zeiger.
The correspondent Of the Zeitune
am Mittag criticises the makeup of
the allied delegations because labor
in the German Socialistic sense is not
represented in the delegations of the
United States, Canada, South Africa
India or Japan. He says that the
British labor representative is not
socialist and has been repudiated by
the British labor party. He says that
Premier Hughes Of Australia, although
originally q union man, now has the
labor forces against him. The cor
respondent adds that the German la
Dor representatives were depressed in
reading the allied list.
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau. the
correspondent says, evidently was
satisfied with the meeting Thursday
at the Trianon Palace Hotel, because
TT removed all doubt about negotia-
tion and exchange on a basis of mu-
tual equality, proving that no dictat-
ed peace is planned"
Tho correspondent Of tho Lokal An
zeiger says that the peace terms can
not be shown to the Germans before
Saturday because the return Of Pre-
mier Orlando and Foreign Minister
Sonnino is expected and the italian
situation must be cleared up first.

BARRING GERMAN TONGUE

HARRISBURG. Pa. May 3. - Gov.
Sproul today announced that he had
vetoed the bill forbidding the teaching
Of German in the public schools and in
the normal schools Of the state. The
bill passed the house $50 to and the
senate by ~ to 3. In explanation the
governor says in a statement:
Whatever may be our feelings to-
ward our national enemies in Europe,
now happily vanquished by our noble
allies and ourselves, no good end could
be served by forbtdding our young mon
and women the advantage Of acquiring
q familiarity with the German Ian
guage.
There are over 12s.ooo. 900 people
in the world to whom this language is
the mother tongue, and a very largo
proportion Of the population Of Penn
sylvania Is made up Of people who are
of Teutonio stock. Whether we are to
remain at peace with the German
speaking nations in Europe. or whether
we are to. again meet them in combat,
It will be to our advantage to know
their language"

In response to pressing inquiries
yesterday as to the Treasury's atti-

they had hoped when they arranged
loan Of comparatively small size.
They said they were "a bit con-

two weeks but not to an extent that
they were ready at this time to sound
note of positive alarm.
A ruling by the internal revenue
bureau yesterday is expected to have
a stimulating effect upon corporation
subscriptions, This ruling was to the
effect that victory notes are admis-
sable assets for invested capital in

Council of Three Acts
on Cables, Canal and
Disposition of Ships
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, May AT the meeting OF
the council Of three today it was de-
cided that no provisions will be made
in the peace treaty for the disposi-
ton Of the German cables beyond
specifying that they are to be taken
out of the hands of the Germans and
left in the control Of the five great
powers.
The council of three today settled
the status Of the Kiel canal. Ger
many probably will retain proprietor
ship of the waterway. but tolls for
passage through 1t will be levied un-
der international control.
It is felt that the f1nal disposition
Of the enemy ships is purely an
interallied question. and not one Tor
inclusion in the treaty, which pro-
vides only for the surrender OF the
vessels. This action is regarded as
indicating that the warshtps Will not
be sunk or destroyed.
After the enemy ships are divided
among the allies each power Will de-
eide on the disposition of Its own
quota. The general impression here
is that the French and Italians will
retain their share and incorporate
the vessels in their present fleets,
while the British and American
tendency inclines to the destruction
Of their quotas.
