PARIS, May 13 (By The Associated

Two Officers Miss Boat:
Are Left at Gibraltar

The Italian liner Re d'Italia, with
troops from Marselles, arrived here
last night minus major and a lieu
tenant colonel of the 18th Division
They went ashore at Gibraltar for a
stroll and missed the boat.
The vessel got to Gibralter at
a. M, and many of the officers were
permitted to go ashore. 1t was gen
orally understood that the transport
would remain twenty-four hours, but
she didn't.
After she had gone through the
strait, roll call of troops revealed the
fact that Lieutenant Colonel Thomas
F. Meehan, of Philadelphia, who was
in command of the 18th Division En-
ployment Detachment. was missing.
Also Major Phillip D. Hoyt, of the same
detachment, whose home is in Brew
ster, N. Y.
1t is assumed that they will leave
Gibraltar on the next transport bound
from Marseilles.
The troop personnel arriving last
night consisted of 1894 officers and
men, including the I'd Army Headquar-
ters and 303d Field Battalion Signal
Corps.

Denn,ark Apprehensive
Ouer Terms of Treaty
Both Houses of Parliament
Insist on the Resolution Of
1913 Regarding SIesvig

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Denmark
looks with apprehension upon the ac-
curing of a large number Of German
citizens though the rearrangement of
the German-Danish frontier by the
peace treaty.
The Danish Legation today received
the following cablegram from Copen-
hagen:
Both chambers of the Danish Par
lament yesterday in joint confidential
sitting discussed the situation created
by the peace condition about Sesvig.
The following resolution was adopted
by majority consisting of the Left
party, the Radical party, Socialists and
Professor Birk, Of the Conservative
party.
"'While the Danish Parliament ex-
presses its satisfaction at the prospect
that the coming peace will bring the
tuliillment of the national hopes of the
Danish people, it insists on it's r.solu-
tion of October 22, 1918, and on the
wishes expressed toward the Allied
and associated powers in Paris, with
regard to the voting zone in Slesvig
by the parliamentary delegation, rep
resentng all parties and by representa-
tives of the Danish electors association
in Slcsvig.'"
BY the decision of the Paris con-
ference, expressed through the ooun-
Gil of ten, provision was made for
rlghting the wrong done by Germany
to Denmark nearly three-quarters of a
century ago, in seizng the provinces
of Slesvig Holstein. In view Of the
changes that have taken place IN the
population of those provinces, how
ever, the council provided for q
division of the former Danish
provinces into three separate zones, in
which plebiscites were to be taken at
different periods to determine the
wishes Of the people as to sovereignty.

Air Stunts Over Towns
Prosibited by Paris Order

PARIS, May 13--Pilots of airplanes
are forbidden by an official order issued
Monday to fly over towns or crowds
of people except at such a height
which permits them to plane down to
a landing field in case their motors
stop. Acrobatic feats over towns are
prohibited. Military pilots are warned
against flying over Paris except under
orders, on pain of dismissal from the
service.
Numerous complaints have been
made against airmen flying over race
tracks at low attitudes. This led to
the issuance of the order.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-There is
w no rule of international law by
which the great powers can require
Holland to surrender the former Ger
man Emperor for trial by an inter
national court, according to authori-
ties here. If Holland elects to re-
fuse to deliver him to such a tribunal
or to the Allied and associated ma
tions there exists no principle of
law which authorizes the application
to Holland Of compulsory measures.
The effect of refusal by Holland
to give up William Hohenzollern, it
was stated by one authority, would
be to make that parsonage, in the
event that Germany signs the peace
treaty, an international outlaw, find
ing immunity in the Netherlands,
from which country he could not de-
part except to be taken prisoner for
trial.

fleets the views of the government, de-
plores the tendency of the press to
commit Germany to rejection before
real negotiations begin, which must in
evitably frustrate the work Of Ger

according to this view, must be to
enter vigorous protest, supported
with arguments, and to try to open the
way for real negotiations.
Disappointment in President Wilson
continues to be the dominant note Of
|. the press and public discussions.
Some few authorities still cling to the
hope that President Wilson may do
something to moderate the harshest
features of the treaty.
France Draws officials Ire
While ministers and other govern
ment officials have been exercising OBJ
vious self-restraint in their utterances
to correspondents, one high official lost
his temper and roundly denounced
Trance and President Wilson in talk
with The Tribune correspondent.
You cannot enslave a civilized peo-
pie Of 70,000,000 for fifty years!" ex-
claimed this official "It is France
chiefly which is insisting upon the i'm
possible burdens that have been laid
upon US, although our Kultur is higher
than the French. If this attempt to
enslave the German people prevails,
then our rage against France, which
already is high, will become uncon-
trollable, and the world will expert
ence something.
"And who is to blame for it all
President Wilson. He cajoled us to
peace upon his fourteen points. But
look at the peace and see how much Of
wrath against President Wilson is run
ming high? But for him our armies
would still be fighting west of the
Rhine"
vigorous pounding of the desk
with the fist accompanied this ejacula-
ton.
The Reichsbank continues to make
no quotations on foreign exchange
rates. The German mark has suf-
fered new and rapid depreciation in
neutral markets, almost wiping out the
recovery since low water mark was
touched April 25. Quotations have
dropped from S to full points since
the terms of peace were published.
