There is nothing that creates more
merriment (barring Nick Altrock) on
the diamond than when the umpire
behind the catcher stops a foul tip
with his chest protector. The ball
hits the pad and sounds like the boom
of a bass drum. The fans chortle for
the jumps seldom is a popular man.
But would the fans laugh If they
knew umpire had been badly hurt ?
Would they not, instead, admire the
men who can proceed at his job when
a couple of his ribs were cracked by
the blow?
1t has been a secret but the secret
Is hereby revealed-Ollie Chill played
his part on baseball's stage during two
weeks of pain that at times almost
forced him out of the game.

Says Blockade Killed
Hundreds of Thousands

"But in the matter of making war
also Germany is not the only guilty
enc. Every nation knows of deeds
and of people, which the best ma
tionals only remember with regret.
I do not want to answer by re-
proaches to reproaches, but I ask
them to remember, when reparation
as demanded, not to forget the armis-
tice. 1t took you six weeks until we
came to know your conditions of
peace.
Grimes in war may not be ex-
cusable, but they are committed in
the struggle for victory, and in the
defence of national existence, and
passions are aroused which make
the conscience of peoples blunt.
sThe hundreds of thousands of
non-combatants who have perished
since November II by reason of the
blockade were killed with cold de-
liberation after our adversaries had
conquered and victory had been as
sured to them. Think of that when

Berlin Delegate Says Treaty
That Imperils Teuton Eco.
non,ic Life Viii Be Rejected

BERLIN, May (By The Associated
German peace delegation, in an inter
view with the Versailles correspo spondent
of the "Tageblatt," said that Germany
can sign only such peace as permits
opportunity for the reconstruction of
her economic life. The occupation by
the Allies Of the important districts
producing raw materials, he said,
would be equivalent to "long, har-
rowing death" He continued:
of our opponents cannot see this
necessity then it is better to return
empty handed The German workmen
already are burdened with an annual
tax of 100000 marks. An indemnity
is out of the question, and the country
would break to pieces if the sum men
toned in the French press Is de-
manded"
DR.. Melchor said it was better to
wait for the exact text before discuss
ing the question further. He added
that in the conference with Herbert
Hoover the Allied representative had
given an answer that sounded earnest
and convincing' of what would happen
If the peace terms were not signed
but. the German delegates said, this
was not for publication.
Herr Leinert, another member of the
German delegation, told the CORE
spondent that it was not unlikely the
Germans would sign the treaty of both
sides were willing to make concessions.' ~

PARIS, May 7.-When the ceremony
of presenting the peace terms to the
German delegates began this morning,
Premier Clemenceau sat at the head
Of the main table in the dining hall of
the Tranon Palace. He was flankcd on
the right by President Wilson and the
four American delegates, and on the
left by Premier Lloyd George and the
four British delegates.
Down the sides of the table sat
four French delegates and Marshal
Foch. five Italians, three Belgians, two
Portuguese, three Serbians, two Cana
dians, two Australians, two South Afri-
cans, one New Zealander, two Indians,
five Japanese, two Rumanians, two
Czecho Slovaks, and the representa-
tives of China, Siam, Hayti Cuba,
Panama, Liberia, Honduras, Nicaragua
and Guatemala.
Six Germans occupied the foot of
the table, behind whom were their
secretaries, and behind these again
were forty-fve newspaper correspond
ents from all parts Of the world, chosen
by ballot. Lieutenant Mantoux and
two Franco-German interpreters were
present, while the Germans also were
allowed an interpreter.

"Pittsburgh Gazette Times"-"As to
the Germans, they can take it or let it
alone. 1t is not too much to say that

enemy. 1t is severe in all conscience,
but not brutally so. Hev offences con-

MISSOURI
"St. Louis Globe -Democrat"- -"The
treaty is too vast thing to discuss in
detail-we can only touch at this time
upon its general impression. We have
heretofore expressed the belief that
many of its provisions will not be sat

are too strong and some because they
are not strong enough But the most
cursory examination should impress

MARYLAND
"Baltimore American" Looking back
over the path of the years which led
up to the framing of this treaty. the
years that the locusts of famine have
eaten, the years that the desolating
flames of war have scorched and
blasted, one can see in the grim retro
spect the arising of that new and vital
force of civilization whose demands
are framed in the treaty now pub
llshed. Never in the highest flights
of imagination Of those who pictured
the world under a league of .ations
could there have been set forth such
marvellous unity of specific peace
aims with provisions for the perma-

would attempt to lay violent hands

Richmond Times-Despatch"- "Under
the treaty of peace Germany is stripped
to its criminal hide. 1t is not ruined
or swept off the map. 1t is left suffi-
cient resources to work out its own
salvation and pay its debts, but for
generations to come it will bear a
crushing burden a s d reminder of those
bloody years it forced on the world.
1t is harsh treaty, it could not be

harsh as the merciless one Germany
was prepared to impose on its enemies

indianapolis Star"-"The terms
presented to Germany seem to leave
little room for anxiety on the part of
those who feared there might be a
soft peace Germany will be broken
as a military nation. 1t must make
good the damage it did on lind and
sea and must accept a condition that
will prevent it from again becoming a
menace to the world, and will stop it
from taking economic advantage of the
distress inflicted on its neighbors. The
conditions imposed by the Allies are
severe but well within the bounds of
Justice"

The measure of the guilt of all

Elaborate Stage
For Presentation
Great Hall at Versailles
Rearrapged to Seat the
added Peace Enjoys

VERSAILLES, May (By The Asso
ciated Press elaborate preparations
were made for the historic occasion of
handing the peace terms to the Ger
mans in the Trianon Hotel to-day, both
in and outside the building.
Outside there was a small army of
gendarmes, who formed a barrier
against the approach of such persons
as were not entitleN to enter the room
where the momentous scene was to be
enacted. Inside everything was in
readiness for the meeting between the
Allied and associated delegates with
the German lenipotentiares, although
the early morning hours had witnessed
a rearrangement of the great hall for
orders had been received to prepare
seats for eighty delegates, instead of
for fifty eight, who were expected yes
terday to comprise the maximum dele
cation. The French functionaries
busted themselves with the task of
stretching out tables to accommodate
the extra guests and laying a new rug
to fit the altered dimensions. The in
crease of the delegations was effected
at the cost Of space which had been
assigned to the press.
Rug Recalls Monarchy
Aside from the great men gathered
in the hall, the most striking feature
was a large antique rug of bright, al
most garsh, colors, which was brought
from the Chateau Versailles to cover
the open space in the centre of the
hollow rectange Of the peace table.
Although dating from the time of
Louis XIV the rug is in a perfect state
of preservation. 1t is known as a
"Savonnerie," and it served to brighten
the entire room. The rug was the
only link in the conference chamber
connecting to-day's ceremony with the
time when France was a monarchy.
The day, which was the anniversary
of the sinking of the Lusitana four
years ago, dawned bright and clear.
Those who measure history by the
day called attention to the fact that
1T days had passed since the arms-
tice was signed and 1O9 days since
the Allied and Associated Powers be-
gan their deliberations at Paris, the
fruit of which was the peace treaty
presented to-day.
Germans Excited
The German delegation was early
afoot, and an air of marked exciteme ent

when we receive, after two or three
or four or five days, any observa-
tions from the German delegation
on any point of the treaty, we shah
not wait until the end of the fifteen
days to give our answer. We shall
at once proceed in the way indicated
by this document"
y Paul Dutasta, secretary general
of the peace conference, then deliv-
cred copy of the treaty to Count
Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, head of the
German delegation, who said, in
reply:
Gentlemen: We are deeply i'm
pressed with the sublime task which
has brought us hither to give a
durable peace to the world. We are
under no illusions as to the extent
Of our defeat and the degree of our
want of power. We know that the
power of the German army is broken.
We know the power of the hatred
which we encounter here, and we
have heard the passionate demand
that the vanquishers may make US
pay as the vanquished, and shall
punish those who are worthy of be-
ing punished.
1T is demanded from us that we
shall confess ourselves to be the only
ones guilty of the war. Such con-
fession in my mouth would be lie.
We are far from declining any re-
sponsibility for this great war of
the world that has come to pass.
The attitude of the former German
government at The Hague peace
conference, its actions and omissions
in the tragic twelve days of July
E1914] have certainly contributed to
the disaster. But we energetically
deny that Germany and it's people,
who were convinced that they were
making a war of defence, were alone
guilty.

Germany Ready
To Confess Wrong

( "Nobody will want to contend that
the disaster took it's course only in
the disastrous moment when the sue
Scessor to the throne of Austria Hun
gary fell the victim Of murderous
hands. In the last fifty years the
imperialism of all the European
states has chronically poisoned the
international situation. The policy
of retaliation and the policy of ex-
pansion and the disregard of the
rights of peoples to determine their
own destiny have contributed to the
illness of Europe, which saw it's
crisis in the world war.
Russian mobilization took from
the statesmen the possibility of heal
ing, and gave the decision into the
hands of the military powers. Pub
lie opinion in all the countries of
our adversaries is resounding with
the crimes which Germany is said
10 have committed in the war. Here
also we are ready to confess wrong
that may have been done.
eve have not come here to be-
little the responsibility Of the men
who have waged the war politically
and economically, or to dency any
crimes which may have been COM
mitted against the rights of peo-
pies. We repeat the declaration
which has been made IN the Ger
, man Reichstag at the beginning Of
the war, that is, to say, wrong has
been done to Belgium And we are
willing to repair it.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-08
Asks Financial
Aid of Victors

AS our next aim, I consider the
reconstruction of the territories of
Belgium and of Northern France
which have been occupied by us
and which have been destroyed by
war.
"To do SO we have taken upon
ourselves the solemn obligation, and
we are resolved to execute it to the
extent which shall have been agreed
upon between US. This task we can
not do without the cooperation of
our former adversaries We can
not accomplish the work without the
technical and financial participation
of the victorious peoples and you
cannot execute it without us.
Impoverished Europe must de-
sire that the reconstruction shall be
fulfilled with the greatest success
and with as little expense as in any
way possible. This desire can only
be employed. 1t would be the worst
method to go on and have the work
done by German prisoners of war.
Certainly this work is cheap, but it
would cost the world dear if hatred
and despair shall seize the German
people when they consider that their
brothers, sons and fathers who are
prisoners are kept prisoners beyond
the preliminary peace in former
penal work.
without an immediate solution
of this question, which has been
drawn out too long, we cannot come
to durable peace. Experts of both
sides will have to examine how the
German people NAV come up to their
financial obligations to repair, with
out succumbing under their heavy
burden. A crash would bereave
those who have a right to repair
Of the advantages to which they
have claim, and would draw after
it irretrievable disorder Of the whole
European economical system.

Principles Binding

"The principles of President Will
son have thus become binding to
both parties to the war-for you as
we'll as for us, and also for our
former allies. The various principles
demand from US heavy national and
economic sacrifices, but the holy fun
damental rights of all peoples are
protected by this treaty. The con-
science of the world is behind it.
There is no nation which might vio-
late it without punishment.
"You will find US ready to ex~
anime upon this basis the prelimin-
ary peace which you have proposed
to US, with firm intention of re-
building in common work with you
that which has been destroyed, and
repairing any wrong that may have
been committed, principally the
wrong to Belgium, and to show to
mankind new aims of political and
social progress.
considering the tremendous
number Of problems which arise, we
ought as soon as possible to make
an examination of the principa

perts, on the basis Of the treaty
