IMPOSSIBLE TO FULFILL

Berlin Reports Chic f
Peace Envoy Holds
Pact is Unacceptable.

Berlin, Wednesday, May If.
Count Won BrOckdOrff- RantZ-
au, the head of the German
peace delegation. in cOmmuni-
Gazing to tine other members Of
notes he sent TO Premier Cie-
meneeau, pointed out that the
peace treaty i'll IFS present
form could not be accepted and
could not be signed because it
is impossible TO fulfill its
terms.
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau,
head of the German peace mission
at Versailles, handed to M. Gle
menceau, president of the peace
conference, yesterday, three notes,
one of which deals with the eco
nomic aspect of the peace terms
and the effect they will have on
Germany. 1t is pointed out in this
note that Germany is no longer an
agrarian state and cannot feed
more than 40,000,000 people.
Means Death 10 Millions.
The economic terms of the peace
treaty with British restrictions of
trade and other factors which are
involved means, the note says, that
many millions of people in Ger
many will perish, all the more
quickly as the nations health is
already broken by the blockade"
The note points out that Germany
in two generations has passed from
an agarian to an industrial state
AS an agrarian state ii could feed
100000 persons and as an indus
trial country it was able to provide
food for 67,00O,O0O, the note de-
clares. Before the war it is said l5,-
100000 Germans were dependent ror
their living upon foreign trade,
shipping and foreign raw materials.
FOresees Economic Paralysis.
The note proceeds to indicate in
detail how the peace conditions
would produce economic paralysis,
destroy Germany's industry, and
make it impossible to provide WORK
and food for millions of people. VINO
would be obliged to emigrate or per
ish." No relief work, however large
its scale, or however long in dura-
tion, could prevent wholesale loss
of life, the note says.
The peace terms" the note con-
tinues, would demand of Germany
several times as many victims as
did the war There have been nearly
a million victims of the blockade"
Can Furnish Evidence.
Count Won BrockdOrf-Ra RantZau
concludes by stating that he con-
siders it his duty, before presenting
further details TO bring these geuer-
al remarks to the general knowl
edge of the allies and associated
delegates and promises to furnish
statistical evidence if ii is required.

Champagne Disappears.
The officers and men. all from

timony at the hearing did not bring

ing out the bottles.
The contention of the railway Of
fiC:als was that the wine had been
drunk by the soldiers and that the
Americans had had hand in the
affair and so the board decided to
pro-rate the cost of the champagne
among all the Americans on the
train, according TO their pay al
lowances.
