EXPECTED
WITH ALL FOES
BYLAST OF IIINE

Confidence has been expressed in
certain allied circles that the last of
) the enemy. powers will have made
peace by the last of June.
With the German delegates work
J ing night and day to prepare their
official report to the Berlin govern
ment On the terms presented them
Wednesday, the allies are rapidly as
sembhng the articles Of the Aus
trian pact. 1t is understood the con-
ditions are being drafted as fast as
they are completed and that the doc
un1ent will be ready for submission
early next week.
Conclusion of peace with Germany
and Austria will mark the end of
Americas direct participation in the
negotiations. The United states was
never at war with Bulgaria or Tur-
key and her sole interest in the
treaties with those countries appar-
emily will be to see that the armis-
tice terms and President Wilson's
fourteen points are observed.
The Austrian delegates, according
to the latest advices, were scheduled
to arrive at ST. German. near Yer
sai1les, about Monday. Every indi-
cation points to their receiving the
terms within a day or two after
their arrival at least.
After the treaty is in the hands
of the Austrians it is probable the
allies will then take UP the BuIga-
rian and Turkish pacts
In the ordinary course of events.
the Turks and Bulgars would re-
ceive their terms by the middle Of

The Sixth federal reserve district,
Atlanta and the state of Georgia, in
common with the rest of the country,
went over the top Saturday night for
the Victory Liberty loan. At mid
night Haynes McFadden, executive
chairman for the district, author
lied the following statement:
Actual reports in hand show the
Sixth federal reserve district has
gone over the top for the fifth time.
Florida, Louisiana. Mississippi
and Tennessee are safely over, and
counties which have not reported
will no doubt put Alabama and Geor-
gia safely over. Onisaccount of de-
layed reports from rural districts it
is impossible to give total subscrip-
lions at this time.
Tennessee is leading all states in
the district in oversubscriptions."

TREPASSY, NJ F., May II. - The
American navy's hydroairplanes will
set out on their transatlantic flight
carrying, if possible, crews OF 81
men instead of five. as o rdggn1iaIs
aboard, Commander John H. Towers
of Rome, Ga, chief Of the expedition
announced today in a statement de-
failing precautionary measures adopt
ed to insure as far as possible com
pletion of the projected Nonstop
cruise to the Azores.
The extra men and spare parts, to-
gether with a maximum supply OF
petrol, would bring the weight OF
each plane to 2S,S0O pounds, the COM
ma2der said, which might prove more
than the 1900 horsepower engines
could lift from the water, In. this
event, he added the craft, after a
surface cruise in the harbor, would
taxi" back to the mother ship dis
charge and drain off the excess o tuel'
the official full load. The motors OF
the ~NC-1 and NC-3 easily carried
$4,000 pounds from Rockaway Point
to Halifax and thence to this point.
The proposed enlargement of the
crews and equipment were the re-
suit, Commander Towers said, Of the
experience gained in the flight from
Halifax when the NC-3, flagship OF
the division, was delayed in her start
and then forced to return to por;
after cruising fifty miles because OF
propeller trouble.
The American airplane mechanics
worked on the NC-3, tied up to the
tender Aroostook this morning, in a
temperature two degrees below freez-
ing. The NC-3 was refueled and
passed inspection yesterday.
There are manv icebergs in the
ocean field Immediately ahead of the
flyers.
On the flight here from Halifax,
Commander Towers said, they were SO
j.. numerous that the sea in places look
ed. from his vantage point like a
na sture dotted with grazing sheen.

Only German War Prison in the U.S..
Expected to Break Up Soon in Atlanta

The twelve hundred Germans at
the prison camp near Fort McPher-
son soon are going back to Germany.
Since March, 1917, the former
members of the Imperial German
navy have inhabited the little barb
ed-wire village, cut off from the
rest of the world. For more than
and loafing and waiting, and now.
with the peace terms in the hands
of the German government, the sail
ors are preparing for their release.
In a few weeks they expect to be
sent back to the land from which
they came.
The war prison barracks, which is
the only camp for German war pris-
onerS in the United States, is hum
ming with activity. While no Off
cial word has been received from
Washington, the authorities at the
camp are preparing for the discharge
of the sailors and soon will be ready
to nail a For Sale" sign on the
camp property.
Colonel Abner Pickering, the com.
mandant, told a representative of
The Journal Saturday that it is eX-
pected that the men will be taken to
an Atlantic port and placed aboard
a ship and that none would be al
! lowed to remain in this country.
But do the Germans want to go
back to the Fatherland? Do they
want to go back to land of uncer-
tain conditions, to a country that
was defeated in the greatest of all
wars, and to a nation that will have
to pay a huge war bill--do they?
Want to Stay Here
For months the little village in the
cluster of pine trees just outside of
Fort Mcpherson has been home to
the Germans. They have enjoyed
ease, comfort and sunshine, and have
eaten the best of foods. They say
so themselves. They've had little
work and lots Of play, and they have
! had no hardships. And now. with
their discharge near at hand, do they
want to go back?
