 ABOUT JUNE 15

 Counter Proposals.
GERMAN DELEGATES
 HOLD CONFERENCE
Probably be Known by June 8 Whether or Not Ger
 mans Will Sign.
By The Associated Press.)

The treaty of peace may not be signed until some time near the mid dIe of June, according to advices from Paris. It will probably be known by June 8, however, whether the Ger mans will accept or reject the terms of the Allies.
 Before the to-day period given to the Germans to make replies to the terms of the treaty expires, on Thurs day of this week, it is expected, the enemy delegation will submit counter proposals voluminous that it will take the Peace Conference until June 1 to frame a rejoiuder. After that, the Germans. it is said, will probably be given a week to frame their final reply. This will be on or about June and the treaty must then be en- crossed in final form for signing.
 The German delegation was called together yesterday by its chief, Count won Brockdorff- -Rantzau, who laid be- fore his collea gues the instructions he received at Spa on Sunday. It Is re- ported that an announcement has been prepared by the Germans, but has been referred to Berlin for ap- prOval.

HhWKER MISSING BELIEVE AIRmEN
 CAME TO GRIEF
English Government Criti- cised For Not Afording
 Them Protection.
WEATHER BAD
 OFF IRELAND
Impossible For Airplanes to Conduct Search Over the
 Sea.

London, May 2O-No definite news of the whereabouts of the Sopwith bipIane carrying Harry G. Hakwer and Lieutenant Commander Macken- zie Grieve having been received here, it was believed in admiralty circles here, that the daring aviators came to grief soon after leaving New Foundland Sunday afternoon.
 Off the Irish coast the weather is bad today, and there are no further rumors that the Sopwith machine fell into the sea within sight of the River Shannon.
 The weather is so bad off the coast of Ireland that airplanes ordered by the Air Ministry to search for Avia- tor Harry G. Hawker's Xnachine are unable to fly. There were strong southeast winds, rain and fog al in tervals during. the night.
 All communication centres in Lon- don are silent as to news from Hawker and Lieutenant-Command Grieve. Even the rumors which prevailed yes- terday and last night have died out.
 The opinion held in Admiralty cir cles Is that Hawker came to grief soon after he started.
 It is pointed out that the aviator almost certainly would have sent farewell message before getting out of radio range, had an accident not be- fallen him in the meantime.
 In the House of Commons last night Josiah c. Wedgewood and other mem ,bers severely criticized the govern ment for emitting to provide means for assisting Hawker in his Hight across the Atlantic.
 Captain Elliott declared the coun- try would hold the government had been Iamently careless of the honor of the country and the life of a gallant gentleman"

Hawker and Commander Mackenzie Grieve, who have not been heard of since they set off from St Johns in their Sopwith btplane on Sunday afternoon on their trans Atlantic air journey, but all radio grams which had reached Cape Race up to this morning from more than 20 vessels were negative.

"The telegraph and telephone lines" said the messa ge, will of course be returned to their owners as soon as the transfer can be effected without administrative confusion '. The railroads will be handed over to their owners at the end of the call endar year."
 In the case of each the President asked for legislation to make easier the readjustment necessitated by the change.
 In his recommendation for read justment of taxation the President made 1t clear that he did not expect a fundamental readjustment of the Democratic tariff rates that have been opera tive for the last six years. He asked for tariff changes only to pro- tect special new interests like the dyestuffs industry. Some reductions were advocated in war time excess profits taxes. and the present taxes on retail sales. the President thought, could be dispensed with entirely.
 What will be the reply of the Re- publican Congress to these proposals became at once the topic of discus sion everywhere about the Capitol.
 In returning the railroads. it gen. orally was considered, the Republican leaders will readily give the President

their cooperation. But as to pro- hibition and tariff and internal rev. enue taxa ton the case will be more doubtful. Those are problems of which no very clear sentiment appar- ently has been formed in either of the great parties.
 The recommendation regarding la- bor were general, but the President called attention to the need for partnership between capital and la bor and genuine Characterization of industry.
 On tariff revision the President said the United States should have the means of properly protecting itself when there was danger of discrimina- tion against it by foreign nations.
 Though we are as far as possible from desiring to enter upon a course of retahation,' he said, we must frankly face the fact that hostile leg fslation by other nations is not be- yond the range of possibilities. and that it may have to be met by coun- ter legislation.
 Although the United States will gladly and unhesitatingly join in the program of international disarma- ment. it will, nevertheless. be a policy of obvious prudence to make certain of the successful maintenance of many strong and equipped social plants" s@

Other tales Corporal Soane tells
are:
"At Moulin a Boche in a French

into the dugout and slept with his

Probably the narrowest escape Cen
