eadv to Establish Complete Blockade in Case
Peace Terms are Rejected and War
Opens up Again.
UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVE NOT TO SIGN
erman Peace Delegation Reported to Have
Voted to Reject Treaty and So Re-
ported to Cabinet.

most momentous decisions in history
was in the making.
With the allied armies and the Brit
|ish navy prepared to move simultan-
ously upon Germany If she refuses to
sign the peace treaty the German dele
gates, cabinet and national assembly
were gathered in Weimar debating
whether IL shall be peace or war.
The verdict must be reached before
seven p. m. Monday, the zero hour
fixed by the allies when they submit
ted their reply to the German counter
proposals at Versailles.
The British navy, according to un.
official advices today, has joined Mar
shall Foch's forces in readiness for
resumption of hostilities If that is the
Germans decision. Dispatches from
British sources stated the navy has
been put on a war footing and that
all leaves have been revoked. The
British dirigibles. R-33 and R-34, were
reported cruising over the German
coastal regions, as demonstration OF
the allies preparedness. Both air
ships were said to be heavily armed
with bombs and machine guns.
Copenhagen reported the arrival OF
British cruisers and destroyers in the
Baltic, In addition to the fleet already
operating against the bolshevik1 off
Petrograd. Several destroyers, the
Copenhagen dispatch said started to-
ward the German coast late yesterday
on a secret mission.
Reports from various sources, yes
terday and today, indicated the Brit
ish naval authorities already had un-
dertaken re-establishment of The Ger
man blockade. President Wilson, how
ever, instructed American merchant
vessels to ignore British order to
cease discharging cargoes in German
ports as well as an order to American
warships to cooperate in resumption
of the blockade.
Foch was understood to be at his
headquarters in Luxembourg, from
which central point he could direct the
forward sweep of his armies into Ger
many, along the entire front from
Holland to Switzerland. His force of
nearly a. million men on this front, in
the event of resumption of war, would
be augmented by the Polish and
Czecho-Slovak armies which would at
tack Germany from the east and south,
Dispatches from both Weimar and
Berlin indicate a division among the
Germans over acceptance of the new
terms. The peace delegates are said
to be unanimously against the treaty.
The cabinet appears to be split, while
the national assembly apparently
favors signing. The press also is di-
vided.
