SIGNING Of TREATY
I:YET UNCERTAIN
No Word Has Been Received From
Rerlin-Talk of Ultimatum-
Mueller Balks at Signing Pact "
Another Scapesoat is Sought
By Huns.

Paris, June 25.Another day has
passed with the delegates of the Al
lied and Associated powers in Paris
awaiting in vain definite word from
the Germans as to when they will be
ready to sign the peace treaty. Un-
official opinion in the French capital
is that the momentous event will not
take place before Saturday and pos
sibly not until Monday.
Seeking Escape Goat"
The Council of Four was informed
that during Wednesday the German
government was busily engaged in
trying to arrange the personnel of it's
delegation in Versailles.
The Germans thus far have given
no intimation as to what men are
to be the choice of the Bauer govern
ment. Unofficial advices indicate
that the cabinet IS experiencing great
difficulty in finding men who are
willing to take upon their shoulders
the duty of acknowledging, in a doc
ument which will become world his
toric, Germany's utter defeat in the
war and her unqualified acquiescence
to the terms of the victors.,
Reports are that Hermann Mueller
foreign secretary in the Bauer cabi-
net, like DR.. Haniel Won Haimhausen
declined to accept the onus for
signing treaty admittedly obnoxi-
Gus to the Germans.

GERMAN NEWSPAPER
CALLS PEACE TREATY
"A SCRAP OF PAPER"

Berlin, June q 24.-(Delayed).-
The Berlin Worwaerts, majority So.
cialist organ, today described the
peace treaty as "a scrap of paper"
"Extortionate pressure renders
signature of the peace treaty worth
less" said the Vorwaerts. 1--WE must
never forget it is only scrap OF
paper. Treaties based on violence
can keep their validity only as long
as force exists. Do not lose hope
The resurrection day comes"
The Preussische Kreuz Zeitung,
in an editorial headed "Finis Ger.
maniae," declared that "it is our
duty not to permit the Prussian
spirit to be crushed"
The Taglische Rundschau blamed
Scheidmann and Erzberger for the
"disaster."
The National Volks party has an
nounced the sharpest opposition to
the new Bauer government.
General Won Lutwitz has appealed
to officers and soldiers to continue
on duty.
Several MINOR food riots occurred
in Berlin yesterday and last night
and it was feared they might grow
in scope and violencet today. A
strike involving postal, telegraph,
and telephone employees seemed GER
tain.
The governor of West Prussia has
announced his resignation.

The bills defniation of what is in
toxicating liquor beverage OF
product containing more than one
half of oe per cent. alcohol-was re-
tanned. 1t was said that members of
the committee discussed this section
at length, some contending that if
one congress undertook to define in
toxicating liquors as one-half of 1
per cent, another congress could
come along and make it per cent,
or any figure it chose. There was
just danger, members said, that
prohibition would get into politics.
Representative Gard, appointed
last year with Chairman Volstead
and Representative Whaley of South
Carolina to draw up a bill for en-
forcement of war time prohibition,
endeavored to have the committee
substitute his bill. Chairman Vol.
stead ruled against a motion to
this effect and was sustained. It was
said that the war time measure was
more libertl in it's provisions, but as
the committee had refused to separ.
ate war time and constitutional pro.
hibition, it was unwilling, members
explained, to make any distinction ir
the matter of enforcement.

PACIFIC FLEET TO
SAIL NEXT MONTH
Will Pass Through Panama Canal
Admiral Rodman Will Be in Com.
mand-Units Nearly Equal
Secretary Daniels May Visit
Pacific Coast.

Washington, June 25.-The re-
Gently created Pacific fleet, now be-
ing organized from vessels hereto
fore forming part of the Atlantic
forces will sail from Hampton Roads
for the West coast between July Is
and 20, Secretary Daniels announced
today. Mr.. Daniels probably will be
passenger on one of the warships
making the trip to the Pacific thru
the Panama Canal.
The superior dreadnaught New
Mexico will fly Admiral Hugh Rod
mans flag as flagship of the Pacific
fleet and the Pennsylvania will re-
main the flagship Of the Atlantic
fleet. The composition of the two
fleets, Secretary Daniels announced,
will be made public within a few
days.
In announcing the date of depart
ure, which is about a month earlier
than previously contemplated, Secre-
tary Daniels said he had planned to
visit the Pacific coast in August and
that he, therefore, would make every
effort to 60 with the fleet in order to
study the scope of contemplated i'm
provements of naval facilities at the
Panaca Canal. It was learned at the
navy department that extensive
changes would be necessary in the
naval establishment in the canal
zone, especially on the Pacific side to
take care of the greatly augmented
Pacifcsfeet. -

MEXICO INVITES coLoNIsTs.

Mexico City, June 24.-Mexico
will welcome immigration, it was an
nounced here today. The Secretary
of the Interior. Manuel Guirre Ber-
langa, issued statement that Mexi-
co, through its Consuls in various
parts of the world, was trying to
stimulate immigration through no
tices showing the climate, industries,
natural products, mercantile activi-
ty, and mining customs of the coun-
try.
All immigrants will have the same
guarantees and facilities, irrespec-
tive of nationality, if they come to
Mexico with honorable intentions.
Mexico, a country rich in natural
products, salutes both capital and
workers from all latitudes, the
statement says.
All workers who wish to help with
experience, knowledge, and personal
energy are welcomed and will be
protected under liberal laws, with
the frank help of the government.
The problem of immigration is init
mately linked with labor problems,
and is related also to the growth of
Mexico's riches.
Following the indication Of mod
.ern times for progress on constitu-
tional lines, the government has in
troduced national legislative reforms
which assure a maximum Of human
effort toward equitable distribution
among producers of wealth.
The Secretary of the Interior has
completed outlines of a law which
will provide a new system of coloni-
zation to help the activities>of for
eigners who come to Mexico. While
helping the fortunes of immigrants,
it will at the same time contribute
to the prosperity of the nation.
A large immigration of both Ger
mans and Japanese is expected in
the next few months. It is known
that representatives Of several
European nations are now in Mexico
locating sites on which to plant
colonies. ,... Sd
