FOE CONTINUES
Wall CANT PAY
German Minister of Finance In.
sistS Country Is Unable To
Meet Demands of Treaty.

Londons June 7.-Germany's in
ability to meet the financial de-
mands OF the peace terms and the
inability of the allies to make her
pay, are insisted upon by DIR. Ber-
nard Dernburg, the German min
lister of finance, in an interview
telegraphed by the Daily Mall S
Berlin correspondent
DR.. Dernburg reiterates his re-
cent declaration that Germany will
not sign the terms as presented,
and continues:
LAS a matter of fact neither the
entente nor Germany is capable of
signing this peace. Germany can
not pay and the entente can not
make Germany pay. You can in
wade Germany and occupy the
Ruhr basin and nobody will stand
in your way if you wish to come to
Berlin. But when you are there
what are you going to do?
Your only hope of reparation
lies in the hope of getting the Ger
man people to work producing
goods, which they can give as
against money demands, but they
must have food and raw materials
Can't Make Children Pay.
"You must make terms which
will enable you to get reparations
reasonably soon. You do not sup
pose our children are going to re-
main slaves because their parents
lost the war;"
DR.. Dernburg elsewhere in the
speaks derisively of
President Wilson.
81 thought he came over here as
a sort of redeemer. in the role of
a savior of mankind" the financier
is quoted as saying, but I have
not found in the peace treaty one
word of his peace of concilliation
and good will"

ing dependent women and children

WEEKLY PROVISION
AND GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. ILL.,, June with the
visible supply of corn about TO-
900 900 bushels less than was the
case a year ago, and with planted
acreage smaller and the status of
the graowing crop below normal,
prices of corn this week have
scored material upturns. Compar-
ed with a week ago, the corn mar
ket this morning was 2Ac to 41sc
higher: oats were down Ac6 3sc
to NC, and provisions varying from
30c decline to a rise of $1.75. In
dustries, elevators and shippers
competed actively for all the ar
rivals of corn, during several sue
cessive days, and although fear
that a squeeze might accompany
the final adjustment of May con-
tracts proved to be unfOunded, the
enchantment of values met no
check until transient tightening OF
the money market put bullish SEN
timent something at a discount.
subsequently, improved crop con-
ditions tended further to take away
part of the upward strain on val
ues. Bearish sentiment, too, &C
quired more or less additional i'm
petus later by reason of the fact
that after today holdings for any
individual interest would be re-
restricted to a maximum of 2oO,-
900 bushels.
Oats were eased chiefly by the
excellent crop outlook
Most deliveries of provisions
showed decided advances, the re-
suit of big exports last week and
of a decrease in warehouse stocks
of lard here

the Associated Press. THE Rhen-
ish republic movement has made no
Roadway in the American area of
occupation, notwithstanding re
ports to the contrary, according to
Third army headquarters. The
American army authorities are con-
tinuing to maintain an attitude of
opposition to political moves of any
kind which would be contrary to
the regulations of the army of oc-
cupation. The British officers in
their area are said TO have taken a
similar stand.
French officers in Coblenz have
stated that the idea of launching a

U. S. Mission Holds Text
Must Be Kept Secret
Until Enemy Signs.

Paris, June THE Ameri-
can delegation 10 the peace
conference apparently is firm
in its decision not to author
ize the publication of the Ger
man peace treaty until it is
signed and not even to COM
municate the official text in its
present form TO the United
States senate.
- Washington, June Admins
rfation officials believe President
Wilson's reply to the senate reso-
luton asking for the peace treaty
with Germany will be that it is not
compatible with the public interest
to furnish the text at this time.
This belief was strengthened by
dispatches today from Paris say
ing the American peace delegation
apparently is firm in its decision
not to authorize publication of the
treaty until it is signed.
Prepare To Probe "Leak."
Initial preparations were being
made today for the investigation to
be conducted by the senate for
eign relations committee into
statements that copies of the I'M
published treaty with Germany are
in private hands in this country.
The inquiry, authorized by d SEN
ate resolution adopted yesterday,
may take a wide scope 1t is not
expected that definite plans will be
laid. however. until the committee
meets to take up the subject Mon
day.
Send Demand To Wilson.
Meantime, the state department
was forwarding to President Will
son and Secretary Lansing at
Paris, another resolution adopted
by the senate yesterday, asking for
the complete text of thetreaty Of
ficials here will not make any pre-
diction whether the request will be
complied with.
Both the resolutions, although
'fney had aroused stubborn debate.
we're adopted without a roll call.
The action ended temporarily the
discussion which has covered ev-
cry feature of the treaty contro-
versy since the extra session con-
vened, but it generally was pre-
dicted that other speeches on the
subject would be heard next week.
and time to time thereafter until
the treaty itself is disposed of.
Sherman May Push His Plan.
There still remains in the SEN
ate a resolution by Sherman. Re
publican, of Illinois. declaring it
the sense of the senate that the
covenant of the league of nations
should he submitted separately
from the peace treaty for atitica
tion. With the other two resolu-
lions out of the way, Senator Sher-
man may call up his resolution
end thus provide the opportunity
for more debate on the subject.

There is every evidence that the
leading figures of the peace con-
ference in Paris are endeavoring to
hasten the delivery of the allied re-
ply to Germany's counter proposals
to the terms of peace. According to
advices positive instructions have
been given by the council of four

Monday. If this order is carried
out it is probable the reply will be
framed early in the week and will
be Immediately presented to the

From reports coming from Paris
IL seems that there is growing a
sentiment in the council of four
that alterations must be made in
the treaty, but in what parts. the

TO HAVE A HARD
TIME NEXT WEEK

Beginning Monday and continu-

be hard on ROSTERS in Rock Island
county. By the time the week ends
it is expected there won't be
enough of them left hereabouts to
make even a fair dent in the morn

poultry are urged by the county
farm agent to rid their f1ocks of the
