Stalling and playing for time by
handing in many yoluminous protests
and promising to produce many more,
the German delegates to the peace con-
ference succeeded last week In gaining
an extension of time to May 20 for
making their full reply to the treaty
terms. To expedite the work Brock
dorff- Rantzau3 asked leave for a spe-
cial train to take printing presses and
printers to Versailles.
Among the notes, he said, that are
to be presented to the allies were
those dealing with Alsace-Lorraine,
with the occupied territories, with the
extent and discharge Of the repara-
tions obligation undertaken by Ger
many, with labor laws with German
private property in enemy countries,
and with territorial questions in the

FOR REPEAL OF LUXURY TAX

Washington, May 28-By unani-

committee ordered a favorable report

bill. Action on proposed repeal of 9TH

What the Germans really will do
about the treaty is still the subject of
much speculation. Opinion in Paris
that they ultimately will sign is UNI
changed, and is supported by advices
from Berlin to the effect that power
full party is growing there in favor of
submitting to the allies and gaining
peace that will permit the resumption
Of business. In this the Independent
Socialists are Joined by bankers, mer-
chants and many Others who say that
anything would be preferable to boil
shevism. In Washington it is believed
that the Ebert government may retire
temporarily in order to let dummy
government approve the treaty. The
dummies thereupon would be ousted by
public opinion and the Ebert crowd
could return, but the treaty would have
been signed.

sembled in extraordinary session,
made various recommendations for do.
nestle legislation, most Of which had
been anticipated by the caucus pro-
gram of the Republicans, who control
both houses. These include the ques-
tion of labor, the revision of taxes, the
stimulating of foreign trade, the return
of telegraph and telephone lines to
their owners, the settlement of the
railroad question and the adoption of
woman suffrage. Mr.. Wilson added
the advice that the wartime prohibit.

as it applies to beers and wines. For
day or so the "wets' were jublant over
this part of the message, but the 'drys"
promptly declared their intention to
prevent any such action as the presi-
dent recommended, and took steps to
put into effect the measure as it
stands. Temperance and church bod

nunciation Of Mr.. Wilson for what
they termed surrender to the enemy.

The answers of the allies to the
notes already submitted by the Ger
mans could not have given the latter
much encouragement as to results.
When they complained Of the taking OF
mines and nitrate beds they were told
the treaty did not prevent their buying
minerals and nitrates from other ma
tons; when they objected to the loss
Of their mercantile shipping and the
consequent loss of employment for
their sailors, they were reminded that
the allies were not thus nearly COM
pensated for their losses due to sub
marine ravages; and when they said
Germany would be unable to feed her
population If deprived Of agricultural
lands, they were told the reduction OF
population through the loss Of territory
left her fewer mouths to feed, and the
Germans could easily obtain agricul-
tural products from other countries.
The attitude of the allied delegates
is that their countries have suffered
far too much already, and 1t is the
turn of Germany, and they assert the
German people cannot shirk the re.
sponsibility for the war because Of
partial and perhaps nominal change In
their form Of government and in its
personalities. Such, indeed was the
substance Of the reply of the council
of four to the German note regarding
reparations, in which the Hun dele
gates declared Germany would not ad-
NIT responsibility. They were told 1t
was too late to take such a position
and that 1t was impossible to disasso-
ciate responsibility from reparation.
Having asserted the German people
would not have undertaken a war of
aggression, they are. reminded that
they approved Of Secretary Lansing's
note of November 5, 1918, In which IT
was stated that the obligation to
make reparation "arises out of Ger
many's aggression by land, sea and
air" The Germans asked that the re-
port Of the commission on responsible
ity be communicated to them this was
peremptorily refused.

1t may be that final ratification Of
the treaty will be delayed by the ac-
ton of the United States senate, whighS
has begun debate on the feaguS's Il 4
nations covenant. Some RepublifaM
leaders wish to notify the peace cob
ference formally that the covenant
must be amended and should be sepa-
rated from the peace treaty Of which
it is now an integral part. 1t is certain,
too, that the peace terms will be scl'u-
tinized at length by the senate. Sen
ator Hitchcock and other supporters
of the government are convinced that
both the treaty and the league cove
nant will be ratified by the senate.

limit" However, the Germans choose
to remember rather his former stand,
and on that and the Fourteen Points,
they base most of their objections to
the treaty terms. Those points are
especially emphasized in the statement
issued last week by the Scheidemann
cabinet which says Germany cannot
possibly accept the treaty as >formu-
lated.

OF course 1t is apparent that In try
ing to disclaim the responsibility OF
the German people for the war of ag-
gression the Berlin delegates are rely
ing on President Wilson's early coDten-
lion that America was making war not
on the German people but on the
military autocracy that was depressing
them. After while he admitted he
was disillusioned by realization that
the German people heartily supported
their government as long as they were
winning battles and then he directed
the exertion of "force without stint or

The suffragists are about to reap
the reward of their years of strenuous
effort. The house last week passed
a resolution for a suffrage amendment
to the Constitution, and there seems

was 3O4 to SS, most of the opposition

An interesting fact concerning the
peace negotiations has just developed.
A number of the experts attached to
the American delegation have resigned
declaring the treaty is unacceptable to
them in many respects. They were
taken over to gather historical, racial
and other data, and they assert that
the mass Of information they handed
in has not been used or even read by
the delegates. They more than init
mate that the framing of the peace
treaty degenerated quickly into a proc
ess of bargaining and that Mr. Wilson
was compelled to surrender his ideals,
one after another in order to put
across his main idea of league of
nations. According to these malcon-
tents, the settlement of the Saar basin,
Danzig, Shantung and other problems
was all wrong, and they evidently have
no confidence that the italian muddle
will be cleared up properly and Justly.

advisory capacity since America was

to the United States under mandate.
The Indian delegates, however, fear
that to force the sultan to quit Con-
stantinople would cause great trouble
in the Mohammedan world, and there
fore the British prefer that he be left
there but with only spiritual powers.
Though 1t seems to be accepted that
America shall be the mandatory for

the American people would be willing

The banner breaks in glory the breeze,
The trurnpets sing from all their brazen throats
chorused chant Of thrilling harmonies,
The drumbeats throb amid the ringing notes
Ap echo but growing echo; yes
An echo that is flung from hill to plain,
An echo that shall never grow the less,
Born from the chord that struck La vain.
The diapason Of the booming guns
Blends with the shriler sounding Of the cheers
All, this had been foreheard by those great ones
Who planned the structure in the former years,
Who dreamed and dared, and gave of wealth and life
That this great naton-song should never cease,
Who blent the surging song OF somber strife
With all the after croons Of honored peacel
And today the southland and the north
Clasp hands with their bloodbrohered and west
And in the mighty song their lips send forth
The fulness of our faith is all expressed
And deeper than the very deepest chord
Are the foundations laid in days agone
When for hearth and home and manhood warred-
The truths nation has been builded
And higher than the farthest reach of song
That quivers in the bosom of the sky
There flames the flag of faith above the throng-
The flag whose plan and purpose cannot die.

The bugles shout in answer to the drum
And send Of strength to you and me
