mate effects of which cannot yet be
estimated, says a dispatch 20 the "Vos-
sische Zeitung" from Weimar.
Before dispatching its reply, the
message adds, the government con-
suited all the party leaders, who are
said to have given the German answer
their unqualified approval.
AS regards the governments atti-
tude on the note, it is learned that Gen
eral Nudant handed the document to
Herr Hammerstein at Spa on Thurs
day with the expression Of the hope
that the question would be settled
without quarrel. Herr Hammerstein
replied that the note placed Germany
in the most difficult situation she had
occupied since the beginning of the
armistice.
The government is said to feel that
General Nudant did not try to settle
the matter in an amicable, reasonable
way; that, on the contrary, appeared
to be attempting to emphasize the
severity Of the Ententes demands in
asking the unequivocal surrender of
Germany to dictation, particularly to
that of France, and by Undertaking to
make Poland simultaneously the op-
ponent of Bolshevism and the North
eastern outpost in what is charac-
terized as the Entente's encircling
policy against Germany.
The situation is regarded as serious
in responsible circles, with rupture
Of the armistice within the bounds of
possibility.
According to the Berlin "Tageblatt," )"
all parties in the Weimar National AS
sembly, including the Independent So
cialists, approved Of the governments
reply to the Entente note.
The German newspapers generally
support the governments position.
The Socialist "Vorwaerts," for in
stance, says that Hungary's reception
of the note recently sent to her by the
Entente should have taught the En-
tente Powers that it is mot only in
human but foolish to treat defeated
opponents as slaves upon whom any
humiliation Gun be imposed"
The Berlin "Tageszeitune" saws
that the spirit Of tho note shows
tbs desire Of the Entente absolutely
TO crush Germany, while the "rage
b1stt' 1ikens the demand to "the meth
eds by VIII eh every arrogant mailed
FIST policy lnaugurates the realization
OF It's predatory plans"

companies, Postal Telegraph Cable
ment:
1--WE now understand why a week
ago to-day Mr.. Burleson seized all Of
the telegraph lines of the Postal
Telegraph system and turned out its
officials. He knew We had refused to
increase telegraph rates when the sug-
gestion was made to US in January
by his operating board of Western
Union and Bell Telephone officials,
and his only way of increasing them
was to first seize our lines. 1t was i'm
possible for the Western Union to in
crease its telegraph rates unless we
did likewise, because otherwise all the
business would come to us at the lower
rates.
"Now, there was no real need of in
creasing telegraph rates. If the West
ern Union was administered carefully
and economically the rates are high
enough. For years that company has
wasted money in commissions, i'm
provident contracts, horde of solicit
tors who created no telegraph business
and merely tried to get the business
away from us, and other wastefu ex-
pcnditures.
"The Western Union Is evidently q
favorite Of MIR. Burleson, because he
gave them n very large compensation
and Is undoubtedly losing money on
that deal, while on tho other hand he
gave Us sl,6s0,o00, although in the
ycnr previous to his soizng our lines
we earned s4,2Go,00 In addition to
the chormoue sum he clnims from us
under this contiscatory award, he now
Wishes more by increasing the tcIs-
graph rates. To-day he turned out our
general manager from the iatter's Of
fee in our own building That room
has been used by our general manager
since the building was built, twenty
five years ago. 1t is now taken from
us by force by the Postmaster General
of the United States.
"lf we mad assented to the increase
in telegraph rates when the PROPOSE
tion was made to us in January by Mr..
Burlcsons operating board of Western
Union and Bell Telephone officials,
our officials would not have been re-
moved last week We refused, and
now the increase is made over our pro-
test"

Nebraska Soldiers
Sent Home Insane.
Charges Governor
Baker Asked to Answer at
Once Whether u. S. Aims
to Provide Special Care
or Expects State to Act

LINCOLN, Neb., March 90. - To
learn If 1t is necessary for Nebraska
to make special provision for caring
for discharged soldiers who have be-
come mentally deranged while in the
service, Governor Samuel Il. McKelvie
to-day sent an inquiry to Secretary
Baker.
Governor McKclvie's communication
stated that while he was In Washing
ton recently he received the impress
sion that mentally deranged soldiers
would be cared for at hospitals es-
pecially designed by military authori-
ties. lie added that he is now advised
"of some very humiliating and do
plorable circumstances that have do
yel0pcd through tho relengc OF insane
soldiers who are now In hospitals for
tho insane in this state for care and
attention.
Governor McKelvie said II is not
too late for him to ask the Legislature
to make provision for mentally de-
ranged soldiers. He asked the Sec
rotary to reply by telegraph.
The Governors communication said
in part:
ut seems to me a very great mis-
take, to say nothing of the humiliation
upon the relatives Of these insane
patients, to have them returned to the
hospitals that contain ordinary insane.
These soldiers are entitled to special
attention, and should be taken care of
apart from those who have become in
sane from ordinary causes"
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Secretary
Baker received telegram to-day from
Governor McKelvie, of Nebraska, in
which the Governor asked that immedi-
ate attention be given letter he was
forwarding by special delivery dealing
with the subject Of caring for insane
discharged soldiers. Mr.. Baker said he
would not discuss the subject until
the letter arrived.

PARIS, March 29.-President Wilson
favors engaging in further conversa-
tions with the Germans regarding the
occupation Of Danzig by Polish divi-
sions now in France. Those in his
confidence point out that the German
request for further details before
yielding to the occupation of the port
is perfectly reasonable.
the Germans have the right to know
what Polish troops are to be used and
how long they will occupy Danzig.
The impression is given that if the
Germans refuse to permit the landing
Of the Poles at Danzig, some other
port, such as Libau or Memel, may be
used in consideration of the fact that
forcible entry into Danzig is likely to
cause a fresh outbreak Of fighting.

Allenby Plans Drastic
Measures in Egypt

CAIRO, Egypt, March 28.-General
E. H. Allenby, the new commander in
chief in Egypt, told gathering of
Egyptian notables that he would be
forced to employ active repression to
restore order in Egypt. He said that
it had been found impossible to restore
order by defensive measures.
The policy of repression, the general
admitted, would bring great suffering
to the people, and he asked the
Egyptians to devise measures to
achieve the desired results with a
minimum of suffering. He concluded
with this emphatic warming:
"I intend to do my duty. 1t is for
you to do yours"
