The Americans were going to reopen

The decision to summon the Aus

turn of the Italians as well as the
fact that Italy would be without a
voice in the disposition Of Germanys
colonies should she fail to renew her
connection with the conference.
So far as known Hungary has not
been asked to send peace delegations
to Versailles, the conference holding

Oregon Now Steps in With
Claim For First Over
subscription.

Washington. May 5.-A dispute be-
tween Oregon and other states which
claim to have passed their Victory
Liberty Loan quota developed today.
Edward Cookingham, state chairman
of the Oregon campaign. telegraphed
Secretary Glass that Oregon had over
subscribed by popular subscription
and he and other state managers said
they understood Iowa and Michigan
had made their records Of oversub-
subscriptions previously only because
banks in those states guaranteed the
quotas. Should this prove to be the
case, Oregon will claim the honor Of
being the first state to raise its quota
solely from popular subscriptions.
Vermont also claims to have over
subscribed but substantiating proof has
not yet reache the treasury. Inves-
tigation will be ordered by the treas
ury to ascertain the facts under which
Iowa and Michigan reached their
goals
Additional reports Of subscriptions
today raised the total of the loan to
about $1,700,000,000 with only one
week remaining to push the total to
the $4,000, 100000 desired.

THE
FRENCH TREAT
GERMANS BADLY
Newspapers Say French Do
Not Allow Delegates
: Enough Freedom.

Berlin. Saturday, May 3.-(By the
Associated Press. .)-Newspaper men
with the German peace delegation at
Versailles are sending generally con-
servative accounts of their expert
ences, but Schuermann, the corre-
spondent of the German Gazette, who
welded a trenchant, bitter pen dur
ing the war, does not disguise his dis
gust at the treatment accorded the
Germans by the French.
He devotes the most of his report
today to "the freedom of movement"
accorded the German delegation
which he says is restricted to limits.
He tells of stenographer who
sought to purchase tooth powder al
a drug store and nearly caused 2
diplomatic breach the incident end
ing with her expulsion from the store.
The writer says that American cor
respondents, believing they could
move about as freely as they do in
Berlin" tried to interview a member
of the German delegation on it's ar
rival, but were sharply denied the
privilege.
Schuermann complains of the high
prices, especially since the German
mark must be transformed into
francs. and says the charge for max
ing the exchange is exorbitant. He
closes by saying:
"Frenchmen are neither too petty
nor proud to do cheap business with
enemy delegates."
