BERLIN, June % (By The Associated

made in the German papers this morn

the following across its front page:
German honor to-day will be carried

Regarded as an Indirect
Attack OH Those Who
Fight for Reservations
By Carter Field
NeAr York Tribune
Washington Bureau

Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, juno 28.-Dcmo-
Gratis and Republicans alike IN Con-
gress felt great relief at the news OF
tho signing of the peace treaty, but
the Presidents message to tho people
of the United States, given out at the
White House, was regarded as tending
to draw the lines closer for the fight
ing which will take place over the
league OF nations.
The Presidents message was taken
in some quarters as an appeal to the
people of the United States to start
back fires which would drive recalcit-
rant Senators into line, and force the
ratification Of the treaty without
amendments or reservations.
No weakening in the ranks of those
determined to write reservations into
the ratification resolution was discern
ible in a canvass of the upper House
following the reading to the Senate of
the Presidents message by Democratic
Leader Hitchcock.
Bomb From McCumber
Following the reading, in fact, came
the biggest jolt which the Administra-
tion forces have received. Senator Nc
Cumber, of North Dakota, the thick
and-thin friend of the league of ma
tions, declared that he would support
reservations, and asserted that to deny
the Senate the right to make them
might mean at some future time Con-
gress might tear the treaty to pieces,
so far as this country was concerned.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was de-
cared by leaders with whom he con-
ferred as better satisfied with the stu
alton with regard to the fight to force
reservations protecting Americas in
terests than at any time during the en-
tire fight.
While it is not believed that sufficient
strength can be gained by those who
are dissatisfied with the provision OF
The peace treaty virtually giving Shan
tung to the Japanese to achieve any
practical result, some bitter comment
on this section of the treaty was pro-
voked to-day by the Presidents mes
sage.
Resent Robbery" of China
The Presidents words about the Gin
alienable rights of nationality" and the
"rights of minorities" in this message
md his words at previous times about
"self- and the rights of
smaller nations" contrasted with the
Shantung provision, caused Senators
Borah and Norris to utter some sharp
comment Neither will vote to ratify
the treaty with the Shantung pro-
vision in it.
international experts in the Senate,
however, do not believe that their point
on Shantung can be met. They do not
think that a reservation made by the
Senate against the Shantung provision
would have any effect whatever, since
tie United States, they say, is in no
way concerned with the disposition Of
Shantung. Senators Borah and Norris
point out that the Shantung robbery
Of China" is guaranteed to Japan by the
league of nations covenant.
Suggests Two-Year Guarantee
A new idea regarding Article K was
expressed by Senator Calder, Of New
York, who, in suggesting several ways
to rcmovc the Objectionable features Of
this section, proposed that it might be

Hairnhausen Answers
Clemenceau'o Warning

To M. Clemelceau's stern warn
ing in his opening remarks that the
Germans would be expected to OBJ
serve the treaty provisions Loyalty
and completely, the statement by
DR.. Haniel Won Haimhausen that
had the German ENJOYS known they
would be treated on a different basis
than the Allied representatives they
never would have come to Ver-
sailles, was regarded as reply.
Under the circumstances the gen.
eral tone of sentiment in the historic
sitting was one rather of relief at
the uncontrovertible end of hostili-
ties than of complete and unalloyed
satisfaction.
DR.. Hermann Mueller, the Ger
man Foreign Minister, and Johannes
Bell, the Colonial Secretary, who
signed the treaty for Germany, and
about fifty members of the German
MISSION left Versailles at S:20
o'clock this evening, going to the
Noisy-le-Roi station. There they
will board a train on their return
trip to Germany.
Forty German secretaries will re-
main in Versailles to conclude the
affairs Of the German delegation.
The peace delegates began ar
irving at the Hall of Mirrors
nearly two hours before the
ceremony started, Robert Lansing,
Secretary Of State, the first Of
the American commission to reach
the palace, entered the building at
1:45 o'clock.

German EnUoys Told

PARIS, June 2S.-In the completed
peace treaty signed to-day at
Versailles, the newspapers say, were
certain stipulations which, 1t was
hoped, would hasten ratification Of
the treaty by the German National
Assembly.
The journal" says that the Al
lies, following the German example
of 1871, stipulated that the liberia.
tion Of German prisoners would be
dependent upon ratification Of the
treaty by the German Assembly, and
that If the Germans approved the
treaty at once, the prisoners would
be released without delay.

as evident from the official pro-
grammc of the day and from the ex-
preston Of M. Clemenceau, still out

made actual restoration to regular
relations and intercourse with the

the signature of the "preliminaries
of peace" to-day but upon ratifca-
ton by the National Assembly.

my Fellow Countrymen: The treaty. of peace
has been signed. If it is ratified and acted upon in
full and sincere execution Of its terms it will fur
nish the charter for order of affairs in the
world. 1t is a severe treaty in the duties and
penalties it imposes upon Germany, but it is
severe only because great wrongs done by Germany
are to be righted and repaired; it imposes nothing
that Germany cannot do, and she regain her
rightful standing in the world by the prompt and
honorable fulflment of it's terms.
"And it is much more than treaty of peace
with Germany. 1t iberates great peoples who have
never before been able to find the way to liberty.
ut ends for all, an old and intoerable
order under which small groups of selfish men
could use the peoples Of great empires to serve
their ambition for power and dominion
"1t associates the free governments of the world
in permanent league in which they pledged to
use their united power to maintain peace by MAIN
tanning right and Justice. 1t makes international
law reality supported by imperative sanctions.
