Counter-Proposals Ready

BERLIN, May 25-(By The Assoc
ated Press).-A semi official statement
issued to-day says German counter
proposals on the peace treaty would be
presented at the beginning Of the pres
ent week. The document is based on
the principle of right contained in Sec
retary Lansing's note.
1t is added that the counter-pro-
posals will attempt to remove "the con-
tradiction in the Allied proposals
whereby Germany's economic progress
is rendered impossible, yet Germany
is expected to bear the hardest eco
nomic impositions."
The statement says the note will
make positive proposals showing what
Germany can and cannot do, and de-
clare the fulfllment of certain re-
quirements will only be possible
through community of effort by Ger
many and her enemies. The state
ment expresses the opinion that the
counter-proposals will be published in
Berlin simultaneously with their pres
entation at Versailles
Cabinet and Rantzau in Accord
"The Cabinet and Count Won Brock
dOrH Rantzau are IN full accord with
respect to the general outline and the
specific proposals and counter propos-
ais which will make up the German
reply,"' according to an official state
ment made yesterday after the return
of Philip Scheidemann, Matthias Err
berger and Count Won Bernstorff from
Spa. DR.. Bernhard Dernburg remains
in Spa.
The German answer will be ready
Tuesday, as the only work that is in
complete is the coordination of the
text and the technical production OF
the document, which probably will be
typewritten.
The Spa conference, it was espe-
cially emphasized in the statement,
proceeded smoothly and consumed but
few hours, with the result that the
understanding between Count Won

accompanying him, on the one hand,

Burning Munitions
i'm Plan to Retreat

LONDON, May 25.-A Helsingfors
newspaper prints Moscow dispatch
saying that Nikolai Lenine, the Boil
shevik leader, has offered an armistice
anti-Bolshevik forces. in order to con-
slider peace terms. The request for an
armistice was refused.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph from Copenhagen says it is re-
liably reported that the Esthonians
have captured Peterhof, eighteen miles
west of Petrograd
The reported action of Lenine in ask
ing for an armistice comes as the eli
max of series of dispatches telling
of the military successes of the anti
Bolshevik forces and many stories of
the rapid disintegration of Lenine' s
power. A recent dispatch, which told
of Kolchak's capture of Samara, quoted
the Omsk leader as planning a spring
campaign against Moscow, the Bolshe-
vik capital.
Esthonians Menace Petrograd
Lenine's "offer" of an armistice may
be taken as a realization on his part
of the truth of statements in Bolshe-
vik newspapers that Kolchak's advance
cannot be stopped The capture of
Peterhof by the Esthonans would mean
that the anti Boshevik forces are vir-
tually in the suburbs Of Petrograd
Poterhof. which is on the southern
coast of the Gulf Of Finland, is famous

The British War Office has issued
the following communication regarding
the operations on the Murmansk coast
in North Russia, amplfying that of
Thursday:
"Our troops on May 20 attacked
the main Bolsheyik position north of
Medvyejyagora, six miles south of
Lumbushki, in the Slavo- British re-
gion. They carried out wide turn
ing movement on orr right, clearing
Ostrechc, and then moving against
Kalodarl. The whole garrison of the
latter place was accounted for, fifty
prisoners being taken.
British Take Lumbushki
"On the left flank a company of
the Middlesex regiment took Lum-
bushki with number of prisoners
and inflicted heavy losses upon the
enemy The Siberian and British
forces, in the centre and along the
railway, supported by strong artil-
lery fire, drove the enemy from his
positions.
"The Italians having reinforced
our line, we arc in pursuit of the
enemy, who is believed to be in full
retreat southwark.
Great credit is due to the fight
ing troops and also to the Stages
who enabled an operation of this ma
ture to be undertaken successfully"

Cassandra, After Sending
Out S OS 100 Miles Off
Cape Race, Arrives
Safely at St. Johns

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May 25-The
Donaldson liner Cassandra, which
struck an iceberg 100 miles off Cape
Race, arrived here tonight. The 400
passengers aboard are well. The hull
is damaged forward.
The ship sent out wireless calls for
assistance day, and it was feared at
first that she was sinking
The vessel struck a submerged sec
tion of the berg. Immediately passen-
gers and crew were called to quarters
and the ships boats swung out. Pas
sengers were escorted to deck with
but slight confusion. There was no
excitement, according to the ships
officers, who stated the damage was
limited to springing Of several plates on
the starboard side below the water
line abaft amidships. The ship made
little or no water, and after sending
out calls for help came here at top
speed.
The Cassandra had been stopped all
night in the heavy fog, :nd at dawn
the steamer was put under way again.
The grating sound of the hull scrap
ing on the submerged ledge caused
orders for full speed astern. Passen-
gers not yet up were not awakened by
the accident but were called later.
The berg was described as tower
ing, with ledge just below the water
line. The waters in the vicinity of
Cape Race, on the North of Ireland
track followed by the Cassandra, are
thick with bergs, according to the Cas-
sandra's officers.
Although early reports were to the
effect that hole was stove in the
ships side, it was stated tonight that
the chief reason for stopping here was
to obtain a survey before proceeding
overseas.
MONTREAL, May 25.-The Cas-
sandra was able to make port under
her own power after the crew had made
temporary repairs at sea, according to
advices received here tonight.
The liner registers $3.50 tons gross.
She left here for Glasgow last Wednes-
day.

Fought Careful and Did Not

Few Of those who saw Jess Willard
in his first bout In New York had the
tointest idea that the numbering big
ranch haul ever would become the
champion Of the world, writes a Goth
am scribe. Willard was entirely un-
known to fame when he wandered into

maker after another had turned him

Gibson, who then was tho manager
Of the Garden A. G. Gibson had spent
most Of his time trying to arrange a
match between Champion Jack John
son and joe Jeanette, SO that when
an open date at the Garden came
around he had not arranged a card
and he had to draw up one at short
notice.
The best Gibson could get for a main
event WAS n bout between Jack Dem
