Paris, June +. - The atmos-
phere in Peace Conference cir
cles was full of speculation to-
day as to possible notifications
in several clauses of the treaty
with Germany. but nothing
tangible is expected to develop
until the outcome of the joint
meetings of allied experts be-
comes known. 1t is expected
that some of these meetings will
be held tomorrow.
At the meeting of the Council of
Four this afternoon, President Will
son made another effort to bring
about an agreement as to the prin-
ciple of the reply to the German
counter proposals, but the meeting
ended without an agreement
1t is understood that Premier Gle
menceau maintains a firm attitude
against any revision of the treaty.
There is reason to believe, accord
Council of Four will reach a decision
by Thursday as to the reply that
will be made to the German counter
proposals to the terms of peace. Al
lied experts now are at work on the
reply, and meetings are being held
in Paris to-day for the purpose of
drafting memoranda to be submitted
to the Council of Four. 1t is prob
able that this work is we'll under
way.
Premier Clemenceau is understood
to maintain firmly that there can be
no important changes in the clauses
of the treaty to which the Germans
have entered their strongest objec-
tions. There are indications. how
ever, of strong undercurrent OF
sentime ent to meet the German offer
of a definite sum of 100, 900, 900,
900 marks indemnity instead of the
indeterminate sum that might be de-
manded under the terms as pre-
sented. 1t also seems possible that
the clauses of the pact relating to
Silesia may be modified so that Ger
many would be able to receive sup
plies of grain. coal and other com
modities in spite of the transfer to
Poland of sovereignty over that re-
gion.
Last Word Not Said
That the Germans have not said
their last word in objecting to
phases of the treaty is indicated by
a memorandum which has been
drafted at Versailles by German ex-
perts, who seek TO refute Allied
charges as to the guilt of Germany
for the war. This memorandum will,
it is said. be presented as a reply to
the report made by the inter-allied
commission on responsibility for the
conflict.
The Supreme Economic Council
has appointed committee to study

230 Are Found Guilty
Of Cruelty to Animals

The Washington Humane Society
during the year 1918, through its
agents. prosecuted in the police court
Zs3 cases OF cruelty to animals, secur-
ing 230 convictions. A large percent
age of these cases were for working
lame horses or those with sore necks
or shoulders. Other cases were for
overlooking, beating and other vari-
eties of cruelty, seven being for fall
ure to provide proper food or shelter.
In addition to prosecuting these cases
in the courts the agents Of the society
inspected over 200 private and public
stables, examined 4.152 horses, destroy
ing in a humane manner 80 that were
injured Or diseased beyond recovery,
thus ending in a merciful manner
their sufferings.
The society is greatly Handicapped
in its work for want of sufficient
funds to employ more agents, being
able at this time to keep only two to
patrol more than seventy square miles
Of territory included in the District
OF Columbia, when 1t should have at
least ten to do the work adequately.
AS no aid Is received from Congress
or the District government, the So
ciety Is obliged to depend upon volun-
ldTy ContrloutionS from lIS members
and friends to carry on its work.
With less than 400 members out of a
total population of about 100000 In
the District Qess than one in a thou
sanD and with no large endowment
fund to draw upon, the society's in
come Is greatly inadequate for its
needs and an earnest appeal Is made
to all friends Of dumb animals to Join
the society and by their influence and
money help along this good work. In

Animal Rescue League
To Extend Activities

Since the recent prominence given
to its activities by the successful ba-
Ear conducted In its interest, the
Washington Animal Rescue League
has been swamped with business.

Not only was the bazar successful
from the financial point of view-the

funds will permit of a material de-
velopment OF the work. The head

The Washington league is modelled
closely after the Animal Rescue
League Of Boston, the parent organ
ization of the kind IN this country.
and now 1t is proposed to adopt most
Of the administrative features of the
Boston system. which includes a COM
plete checking up of all activities and
the employment generally Of a we'll
considered business system. The work
Of the Washington league has grown
so rapidly In the last year that 1t Is
necessary in the interest Of good ad-

The league needs another motor

heavy for the small force hitherto
employed. How many of these neces-
