MUCH DEPRESSION
FELT AT WIEMAR
Think Terms Are Exceedingly Harsh
and Insulting-Two Delegates
Injured by Mob

WEIMAR, June II (By Associated
Pressl Count Won Brockdorff Rant
zeau is expected to arrive here at mid
night. Full cabinet conference will be-
gin Wednesday.
The new allied terms reached here
late last night and the first apparent
effect upon the German leaders was
that of depression.
The secretaries who had remained up
in the hope of receiving some word from
Versailles were rewarded at II clock
by telephone call from Versailles an
nouncing the departure of Count Won
Brockdorff- Rantzau and the other del
egates with the allied reply.
1t was a moody and dispirited crowd
that heard the telephone report in the
castle of the former Duke of Saxe-Wei-
mar. The message read about as fol-
lows:
"The delegation has left for Weimar.
a brief view of the document Count
Won Brockdorff Rantzau is carrying re-

STEPS TO FORM
INTERNATIONAL
ARMY ARE !. TAKEN
French Government Pre-
sents Plan For Formation
of Such a Force.

Paris, Feb. 12.-The French gov
ernment presented to the league Of
nations commission, last night an ar
ticle creating an internatioal military
force.
The production Of .this article for
inclusion in the Society of Nations
plan closely follows the disclosure by
Premier Clemenceau in his recent in
terview with The Associated Press of
his conviction that the league of ma
tions must be supported by the de-
termination of ach nation entering
into the agreement to be willing to
renounce its traditional aloofness
from other peoples and willing to en-
own country both in time of peace as
we'll as under the pressure of war.
The contention of Leon Bourgeois,
who presented the article, is that the
International force proposed must be
of sufficient proportions to prevent
Germany or any other country from
breaking the peace, or, if the peace
were broken, to restore it promptly
again by the collective power.
NJ. Bourgeois, alluding to the ap-
prehension existing in France as re-
garding Germany, insisted that there
was grave danger confronting France
if an international force was not con-
stantly in being and organized for in
stat actio. The Frech view, he in
dicated, was that a Society of Nations
whieh did not include permanent
collective force might be beautiful
experiment perhaps, but an expert
ment too great for a nation to risk
unless it had in addition defensive
frontiers sufficient to meet a sudden
shock

licoe continues. and although the
Germans were in the gravest peril, the
position Of the grand fleet itself was
menaced by determined torpedo at
tacks in thick weather. But the Brit
ish fleet, by turning its battle line
four times during the action, the ad.
miral says, got clear of the. torpedoes
which were racing toward the Brit
ish ships, and defeated the tactics
upon which the Germans based their
hopes. ADMIRAL Jellicoe pays tribute
to the skill of his captains in handling
their ships and avoiding torpedoes
and collisions while keeping their po-
sitions. .a,ts;
Admiral Jellicoe explains why he
did not seek night action and refers
to the powerful German searchlights.
the superiority of the enemy in de-
stroyers and the greater number of
torpedo tubes fitted in the enemy
ships, giving the enemy an opportu-
nifty OF scoring heavily at the outset
Of an action, the result of which
would always be a matter Of chance.
After estimating the relative
strength. Of the two fleets early in the
war, Admiral Jellicoe expresses sur-
prise that the Germans were SO
cautious, and says: IF this country
in the future decides to rely for safety
against raids or invasion on the fleet
alone, it is essential that we possess
q considerably greater margin Of su-
periority over possible enemy in
classes of vessels than we did in Au.

LEGISLATURE
League Undoubtedly Will
Not Get Emergency Clause
On Tax Bill Through.

Bismarck, N. D.. Feb. 12.-There
were no normal sessions Of legisla-
ture today because Of Lincoln's birth
day and an extensive program in hon
or of Lincoln was carried out this att
ernoop. Very few committees met to-
day, and no major subjects were con-
sidered. Tomorrow will be one of the
most important days Of the entire
session as the administration meas
ures"of great importance will be con-
sidered. The industrial commission,
banking and bank capital bonding
bills will be considered in the house
with the Nonpartisans confident they
have sufficient votes to carry their
amendments. 1t refers matters OF
legislation to the people except by
the petitions signed by thirty thou
sand.
A new point was opened today In
connection with measures which do
not carry emergency clauses, it being
established that such measures which
can be referred to the people by petit
tions signed by only seven thousand
petitioners. are not held up till. the
next general election, but that the
governor may call special election
to consider such measures. Thus a
special election could be held within
ment of the legislature.
The administration forces today in
dicated their purpose to reopen the
judicial redistricting issue. 1t was be-
lieved yesterday, that an attempt to
reconsi. er it is likely tomorrow.
Amendments to league board Of
administration bill which will clearly
define powers of that board and
which will remove the possibility OF
the board being given powers that
will conflict with local school powers
were indicated today by Senator Ca
hill, who introduced bill. He said
these amendments would be adopted
late this week by the committee.
The league will fail to get the
emergency clause on it's bill for sub
stitution of the single tax commits
sioner for a tax commission of three
members if the three league mem
bers of the senate who signed the
minority report against the bill, stand
firm, and there is every reason to be-
lieve thew will.
