Although it is not believed that the

of peace entente forces are prepared to
advance into Germany if the terms are
rejected, according to a London des-
patch. The wave of opposition in Ger

Both President Ebert and Chancellor
Seheidemann have made statements de-
nouncing the terms. Neither of them,
however, went so far as to state that
Germany would not sign.
Meanwhile the experts of the council
of four are examining the notes sent by
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, head of
the German mission to NJ. Clemenceau,
president of the peace conference, rela-
tive to the repatriation of prisoners
and the establishment of a new basis of

lines suggested by German experts.

THREE UNDER SURVEILLANCE.
Police Claim There Are No Arrests In
Barre Murder Case.

BARRE, Vt, May 13-While the
police deny that any arrests have been
made in connection with the murder of
Mrs Lucinda Broadwell in the Wheel
ock garden, May 3, it is well known
that three persons are continually under
restraint and are not allowed to con-
verse with any one or to leave their
homes. In the case of one, if not more,
the meals are served in the person S
room.
These persons have figured prominent
ly in the case up to this time and the
officers have re-examined each of them,
the re-examination being conducted at
considerably greater length than the
original examination was.
Mrs. Grace Grimes, the woman who
was a confidant of Mrs Broadwell, has
| been brought to Barre and has met the
officers. She has told them many facts
about the life of the murdered woman
as she knew her, but there is feeling
that she will throw but little light upon
the crime itself.

GERMANS PLAN LEAGUE.
Presented to AlIies-Provides Interna
tional Parliament.

PARIS, May l3.-Thc German deega
tlon has handed to the council of four
the German plan for a league Of nations
This plan was drawn up by Prof Schueck
ing, and the principal feature is an inter
national parliament composed of 10 rep
resentatives from each nation
The first exchange between Count Won
Brockdorff7 7Rantzau and the allies and
associate powers was considered "a pre-
hminary skirmish to the main battle and
as disclosing the entente position as. in
effect: ''Accept the treaty as it stands,
or reject it, one or the other, as there
is no middle ground
This was the prevailing view in the
American delegation to the peace confer
ence and in conference articles generally
after the four notes had been analyzed
The head of the German delegation also
was thought to accept this construction,
as reports were that he was giving his
chief attention to the formulation of a
complete treaty which he would present
as counter project in about FIVE days.
instead of seeking to amend or modify
the terms of the allied treaty Since the
| foregoing was written, however, the two
additional notes by Count Won Brockdorff
/ Rantzau were despatchedl
This counter treaty would be treated
| the same as the German plans for a
| league of nations, neither of which will
be considered, the only question beine
the acceptance or rejection of the allied
| treaty.
The German project for the league o
nations, drawn by Prof. Schuecking. wa
said to be in the form of general thesi
on the merits of world parliament
which would seek to bring about the pro
portionate limitation of ornaments o
all nations alike. on sea as well as o.
land, and an equality of economic cond
tions-bringlng about sort of economl
brotherhood.
''The project" member of the con
mittee said, ''has only academic interes
as the committee will not examine {
consider it, for it has no purpose to lt
| the Germans confuse the allied projec
| which has unanimous support. +"
