Paris, May 16.-The series of Ger
man communications to the big four
indicates that the enemy plans are to
make protestations and to obstruct
as much as possible. so that if the al
lies peace conditions shall finally be
accepted the delegates may assure
their people that they were coerced
into signing.
While it is practically certain that
the German delegation will remain
through to the end. whether negotia-
tions may lead to signatures or to a
rupture, It is generally believed Count
Won Brockdorff Rantzau will quit be-
fore that time, in protest against the
harshness of the terms.
While applauding the publicity
given by the big four by Germanys
attitude, the Paris press is of the opin-
ion that the Germans have stolen a
march on the allies by returning to
the old strategy of propaganda. The
allies intend to meet this course by
frankness and firmness. Each step
taken by the Germans in this direction
must affect adversely their chances of
obtaining an amelioration of the terms
of the treaty.
From the German delegation itself
as well as from the French foreign
office, absolute denials were forth
coming of the report that Count Won
Brockdorff- Rantzau intended to lead
his flock back to Berlin. There is
possibility the count himself will re-
turn to the German capital in five or
six days to confer with his fellow
members of the Scheidemann cabinet
relative to his counter propositions.
A dozen interpreters and forty stenog-
raphers working day and night in two
shifts have completed Rantzau's con-
versations on the league of nations
and the desirability of oral communi-
cation with the big four.
Through unofficial channels the
count requested President Wilson to
consent to conference with him, but
the request was refused.
The chief German envoy has issued
statement to the German press to
the effect that it was the deep emotion
he felt that obliged him to remain
seated while delivering his speech at
the Tfiannon palace Wednesday, and
that he meant no discourtesy.

PRESbYTER|ANS
POSTPONE CHURCH
UNION QUESTION
tsy nopn,sa IovsS-t SPECIAL .vAsvp w,ssl

st. Louis, May 16.--After several
hours debate, delegates to the 131st
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church today postponed until later
sessions the question of whether the
church should enter the inter-church
world movement
Paragraphs of the New Era report
pertaining to the movement finally
were deleted and the report adopted
for five years with the understanding
the question would be brought before
the assembly later. Alliance of all
Protestant churches is the foundation
of the inter-church world movement.
The new era report, as adopted
urges that arrangements be made for
the caring Of returning soldiers and
sailors and that positions be foun |
for returning ministers who served in
the war. The report advocates that n
greater brotherhood between employ
er and employe as means of eradi-
eating Bolshevism and I. W. Wism
be brought about and states that the
church is the most influential society
to bring this about. The report also
advocates sex equality in church mat
ters.
In the report of the evangelism com
mission, closer cooperation of the
various Presbyterians was urged as a
means of making the work of the
church more concrete.
The sessions today were presided
over by DR. ]. Willis Baer of Pasa-
dena, Calf. who was elected modor-
ator yesterday

Friday provided an off-day In
peace conference circles, as far as the
council of four was concerned. Presi-
dent Wilson devoted the day to visits
by several delegations and individuals,
ranging from diplomats to labor rep
resentatives, while Premier Lloyd
George was absent from Paris, bidding
farewell to a Welsh regiment that left
for home.
Negotiations with the Austrian
peace delegation at St, Germain are
expected to begin the middle of next
week. The Austrians probably will
present their credentials at meet
ing of the peace congress Tuesday, and
1t is reported unofficially that the fol-
lowing day may witness the handing
of the peace terms to the delegation.
The council of foreign minis
ters is continuing its labors on the de-
tails OF the Austrian peace treaty con-
nected with the question OF new from
tiers. The treaty, it is understood, will
not deal with the disposition of Dal
malta, ls'ria or Fiume merely calling

peace plenipotentiaries to the allied
and associated powers, said to deal
with the question of Alsace Lorraine,
is in course Of preparation by the Ger
mans.
That the allies are preparing for the
eventful day when the Turks are to be
reckoned with in peace treaty, is in
dicated by the fact that British.
French, American Italian and Greek
warships, with landing parties, have
begun great concentration at Smyr-
ma, Asia Minor. Allied troops also are
being massed at Salonki. The concen-
tration at Smyrna is connected with
the mandate given to Greece by the
peace conference to administer the af-
fairs of the Turkish seaport, while the
belief is expressed in Paris that the
masSing at Saloniki is connected with
the enforcement of the peace terms to
be presented to the OttomanS, which
it is thought probable will include a
demand that the Turks leave Europe.
The Chinese cabinet is reported to
have rendered its resignation, which
President Hsu Shih-Chang is said to
haye declined to accept.
Vienna advices report that may
persons have been killed in clashes
between Serbs and Croats at Agram,
capital of Croatia.

! BELIEVED LOST
BY NAVAL HEADS

st. Johns, n. F. May l6,-The dirig-
lble, Co, fugitive airship of the
United States navy which forestalled
the attempt of Lieutenant Commander
Coil and his crew to fly across the At
lantic by breaking loose from its
moorings in a storm yesterday, was
abandon as lost today.
The destroyer Edwards after an all
night search for the blimp among the
icebergs of the Arctic current, re
turned to port without sighting it. The
British freighter Clan Davidson, which
had reported she was standing by the
gag bag, sent radio message this
morning saying that she was away
off the course and must proceed"
II was suggested tonight by Rear
Admiral s. S. Wood that Captain Har-
ris of the freghter may have mistak-
en- an iceberg after wireless mes
sage had been sent broadcast calling
in ships at sea to watch for the C-5.
Commander Coil, who commanded
the C-5 on the fight from Montauk
Point which is believed to have been
the longest nonstop cruise ever made
by a non-rigid balloon, said he, had
given up hope of salvaging the ship"
He announced to the Associated
Press his intention of asking the navy
department for permission to make
another attempt at trans Atlantic flight
in dirigible.
A naval board of inquiry conducted
a hearing to consider the dirigible's
loss on the cruiser Chicago today
The hearing was secret, but 1t was an
nounced that it merely was a routine
proceeding. The crew of the C-5 left
for Boston on the destroyer Edwards.

Germany's Guilt Not Proven.
The note declared further that the
peace terms provided no proof of Ger

Another note dealing with terrific

points.
Under the financial and economic
condi' iors of the treaty ii was further
set forth, it seemed that 1t would be
impossible for Germany to have
enough gold on hand at the end of fiji
teen years to repurchase the Saar val
ley mines from France and that If she
did the indemnification commission
which would still dominate Germany,
would not permit this gold to be used
for such a purpose.
