BERLIN, June 81 (Delayed) The
explosion that wrecked the Cabinet
Thursday night has been followed bv a
murky atmosphere in which it is diff
cult to discern the shape the new gov
ernment is taking, but in the midst of
the wreckage one fact stands out,
namely, that the treaty seems assured
Of majority in the Assembly. A large
majority of the regular Socialists are
now willing to sign the treaty as the.
lesser Of two evils, and the Catholics
are in the same position. On the other
hand, the German Democrats, who rep
resent what Americans would regard
as the most progressive and brainiest
elements Of the German population.
are practically solid against the
treaty.
Their ranks were split until Profess
sor Schuecking, Of the Versailles peace
delegation, who is one of the most
noted pacifists in Germany, made a
speech at the party caucus and solidi-
fled sentiment against the treaty. 1t is
understood that the Democrats have
taken a decided position against sign
ing the treaty in its present form and
are unwilling to occupy seats in the
new government if it is sighed without
changes.
In order to meet the wishes of the
Democrats the Majority Socialists and
Catholics on Friday agreed to send a
note to the Allies demanding further
concessions. These embraced the re-
nunciation Of all extraditions, an early
plebiscite in all eastern territory, in
cluding Danzig, and a general revision
of the treaty after four years. When
this note was about to be dispatched
the whole plan was suddenly changed,
the Socialists and Catholics having
reached the conclusion that the step
was too venturesome. : Since noon
(Friday) everything is at sea, and it is
even reported this (Friday) evening
that negotiations for reconstruction be
suspended until some definite line Of
action can be agreed unon

PURSE FOUND in PALMER

Philadelphia, June 6.--The posi- =
bility th4t anarchists newly arrived
from Europe had a prominent part

purse contained a note, written in

Just arrived in New York from
France, and naming the boat on
which he was passenger. The purse
also contained French and italian
stamps. Leather experts said the
purse was made in France.
Inside the wallet was also a pic
ture of boy about years old. The
boys hair apparently was the same
color as the man killed at the Palmer
home, and federal agents believed
the boy is a son of the dead man.

PREDICTS TREATY NOTIFICATIONS.

Paris, June 2.-(Cable to n. X. Times,
Copyright, 1919, by N. Y. Times Coz
Surface appearances indicate that the
German peace treaty will be modified.
Sentiment in favor of lessening the
severity of the economic terms is in
creasing There is also a decided opin-
ion in allied peace conference quar-
ters that provision should be made for
Germany's admission into the league of
nations.
Whether the changes proposed will be
made at once of after the treaty mas
been accepted by the German plenipo-
tentiaries has not been determined:
Lloyd George is represented as the fore
most advocate of notifications to meet
the strong British liberal party senti-
ment in that direction. 1t is admitted
that his object in calling his cabiner 10
Paris was to discuss the German treaty,
and there sacNIs no :sood reason TO DC
ieve that he has been impressed with
the desirability of conforming to the
views OF the liberal leaders.
The attitude of President Wilson is
not fully disclosed. That he is in ac-
cord with the almost general desire
among his peace conference advisers
to have the treaty modified is not ques-
toned; but the president is credited
with taking the position that the terms
having been determined after long and
exhaustive negotiations between the al
lied statesmen, it is not for him to ad-
vocate changes at the eleventh hour.
In other words, the president, as MS
position was described today, is stand
ing on the side lines, watching the ef-
forts of some of his European asso-
ciates to soften the provisions or the
German treaty. He has. of course, a
sympathetic interest in these efforts
no other deduction is possible from his
prior attitude-but withholds the eX-
preston of his views until definite sug-
gestions OF changes have been brought

AMERICANS IN
MEDIATORY ROLE
French and British Disagree
as to Reply to Be Made
to Huns.
BIG FOUR FACES CRISIS
Distinctly Easier Feeling Is
Noted as to General Ac-
commodations in Peace.

Paris, June 5.-(By Telegraph
From New York World, Copyrighted,) }
The big four met yesterday to dis
cuss the German counter proposals.
According to French informants the
meeting disclosed thorough agree
ment between the French and Presi-
dent Wilson as to the reply that
should be made to the Germans.
Although the report of agreement
between Premier Clemenceau and the
president may be optimistic as an in
depreciation of their position, there is
no doubt of disagreement between
the French and the British at this
stage, and it may be that the Ameri-
cans are adopting mediatory role.
1t seems that Premier Lloyd George
continues to be deeply impressed by
the prospect of Germany's economic
weakness if deprived of the Silesian
mines. He is believed to favor a
plebiscite to determine the future of
that district, or at least provision by
which Germany may obtain economic
facilities in respect to it's mineral re-
sources.
Clemenoeau for Fixed Sum.
On the other hand, it is said that
Premier Clemenceau is not indisposed
to assent that a fixed sum in repara-
tion be specified in the treaty, recog-
nizing the evil effects on German in
dustry by arrangements under which
Germany would be kept in doubt
from year to year as to the extent
of her Indebtedness.
Whether Premier Lloyd George
takes this view is as yet unknown.
His attitude is likely to be affected
by the very formidable force in the
house of commons, which is using his
alleged weakness in the matter of
reparations as a preteXt for attack.
Disagreement has not yet developed
in the British delegation, but the
eventual importance of dissenting
views is minimized by the progress
of affairs, and it is evidently hoped
that unanimity will be reached in the
delegation on the German counter
proposals.
Belgians Have Gained Point.
1t should be realized that the cri-
sis has not passed in the big four
on this subject and that no formula
has yet been proposed by any delega-
tion. At the same time there may
be noted a distinctly easier feeling
on the prospects of a general accom-
mediation in the course of the next
week.
The Belgians have gained their
point for the appointment of a COM
mission by the big four to include
Belgian and Dutch representatives,
to inquire into and report upon Bel
gium's international relations and
how they should be amended under
the neutrality treaties of 1889.
The commission is barred from
making any recommendations affect
ing questions of sovereignty. This
shuts out Limburg from it's purview
1t is understood that Holland will
agree to give Belgium free transit
over the Scheldt, but Holland will re-
tain the territory on both sides OF
the mouth of the river.
Practical agreement has also been
reached between France and Belgium
respecting the economic position of
those countries in Luxembourg. Bel
gium and Luxemburg will enter into
direct negotiations for thein mutual
economic advantage

says he will uphold the inviolabiity of

Hope is expressed in peace confer,
ence circles in Paris that the allied
rejoinder to the German counter pro-
posals will be ready for presentation
Monday. 1t is understood with this re-
ply the Germans also will receive noti-
fication that the discussion of the terms
has been finally closed and will be given
a period of not less than three days, or
more than five in which to accept or
reject the treaty.
If this plan is carried out, therefore,
it seems probable Germany's decision
will be made known not later than Sat
urday, June IA.
Reports from Paris indicate that inn

ply Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau.
chief of the German delegation, will
leave Versailles for Berlin, where he
will hold final consultation with Philip
Scheidemann, the chancellor. Should
Germany decide to sign the treaty the
count will return to Versailles, but
should Germany determine upon re-
lection of the terms, notification of
that fact will be sent to the peace con-
ference from Berlin.
Dispatches state that the council of
four has reached a decision to refuse
Germany's request that fixed sum for
Teparations be indicated in the treaty.
There seemed recently to be a WE'LL
defined sentiment in the council to ac-
cede to this request, only Premier

peace treaty by which the exact
amount of Germany's war indebted
ness will be known by Nov. 4, 1t was

N. Noyd George is understood to be con-
-sksatratifgs his efforts Oh Ciemenceau.
The fact that he drove away from st.
German with Clemenceau after the
ceremony of handing the peace terms
TO the Austrans is looked npon as sig
nif1cant of his earnestness and his de-
sire to have the matter adjusted with
out delay.
Clemenceau's position is not closed
in any authoritative way. He is re-
ported as willing to concede the ad-
visibility of treaty notifications, but
to advocate that they be deferred until
after Germany has accepted the treaty
in it's present form, That, according
to accounts which appear to bear the
stamp of reliability, represents the stu
alton with respect to the proposed
amendments to the conditions imposed
upon Germany. Lloyd George wants the
changes made before the final aft
of the treaty is presented to the -nemy
plenipotentiaries for their signature, and
Clemenceau would prefer to compel the
dose embodied in the present draft, but
with a gentleman's agreement among
the allied statesmen that notifications
shall be made Immediately thereafter.
Treaty Changes Suggested.
In the minds of those who advocate
amending the treaty the particular
changes they deem desirable are well
defined They may be stated as fol-
lows: Cd The admission OF Germany
into the league of nations at an early
date; (2) the total of the pecuniary
reparation to be exacted from Germany
to be definitely fixed instead Of requir-
ing annual payments to be determined
annually for a period OF thirty years;
go provision that Germany shall he
