CLEMENCEAU ANSWERS
FINAL NOTES OF HUN
Bulk of German Objections to Treaty Have Been Replied
to- No Modification of Terms Is Opinion in Peace Circles

Paris, May 31.-Premier Clemen-
ceau. as president of the Peace Con-
ference. to-day replied to the last
two German notes. The Official
statements on the replies have not
yet been issued. Most of the objec-
tions raised on the German counter
proposals have, in the opinion of
French diplomatic and political cir
cles, already been set forth in sepa-
rate German notes and duly an
swered by the Allies.
Consequently it is said. there can
be no modification of the peace terms
and there is no necessity for verbal
discussions in which the Berlin gov
ernment desires to involve the Allied
powers. 1t is understood that the
Council of Four will agree in taking
this view in answering the Germans.
No Further Notes
The German peace delegation has
been notified that the period of de-
lay for presenting observations hav-
ing expired at 3 p. m. Thursday. no
further notes will be accepted from
the delegation.
1t became known to-day that the
German contemporaries were ae-
companied by a covering letter of
ten typewriter pages. The letter.
apparently. is the work of Count Won
Brockdorff- -Rantzau. as it is more
conciliatory than the counter-propos-
ais, which were elaborated by the
Berlin government

ORGANIZATIONS AT ODDS
Compensation Fund Charged
With Circulating Letters
Detrimental to Order

Cleveland, Ohio, May 81. - An
order issued by w. S. Carter, vice.
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen. re-
vokes the charter of the William H
Morne Lodge, No. 67S. of Harrisburg
Charges made some time ago, alleging
violations of the constitution of the or
der, in issuing circular letters detri-
mental to the order have been for some
time under thorough investigation
The Harrisburg organization in years
past had been recognized as one of the
most influential lodges in the United
States
According to statements from Broth.
erhood headquarters here, an organiza.
zation known as the brotherhood Pc
lief and Compensation Fund became
attached to the Harrisburg lodge, and
under the jurisdiction of the latter cir.
cular letters were issued to members OF
railroad brotherhoods, urging them to
join the compensation fund. These let
ters, according to statements OF Off
cials, contained propaganda not dis
similar TO that circular by the Indus
trial Workers of the World and the
National Union of Railway Men. and
for time it was feared would bring
about serious conditions in the brother
hoods. This compensation fund also
has headquarters in Harrisburg.
Officials Visit Harrisburg
President Carter of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
authorized a thorough investigation
and at intervals General Organizer
Jonas A. Mcbride and other officials
visited the Harrisburg lodge and Sc
cured information from the members,
copies of the circular letters and other
data, which was placed in the hands of
Vice-President Carter. Mr. Carter sub
mitted a report compiled by Timothy
Shea, one of the investigators, and his
action in revoking the charter was ap-
proved, Shea acting as president during
the inquiries.
In revoking the charter attention is
called to the fact that all members of
the Harrisburg lodge were not disloyal,
and the report gives the names of those
who sanctioned the alleged Injurious
letters, and those who had no hand in
the efforts to destroy the brotherhoods.
These loyal members will be taken care
of and transferred to other lodges. The
alleged disloyal members have been ex-
pelied from the Brotherhood. The
president of the defunet lodge was F.
L. Floyd and the secretary, Charles
Libau.

clippings to prove he had started
out of the neighboring state. "I

Uncertainty goin' to get busy tryin'

Then he unbosomed a plan for
keeping all the steel mills in Amer

per bailer, his own invention, he
said that if the mills should start
making the bailer they not only
would be kept hustling turning it out,
but also furnish jobs for every
American soldier who came from
overseas. There would be no neces-
sity for idleness until every firm need
ing the bailer had been supple. "You

reverted to the Pittsburgh trip. When

The American naval trans

unable to estimate the actual time
of the last leg of the fight.
The NC-4 left Ferrol at 223 a.

have reached Plymouth six hours
later. However, the time. given in
Admiral Knapp's message showed
she got in at 9.26 a. M, Washington

Despite the fact that beef al

There are several reasons.
Cheaper, grass-fed cattle, which
hitherto have not been plentiful,
are now moving to market. Ex-

The Government has stopped

The New York Times recently

on the treaty situation. The general
said:

pathy, that with your people over there
IT Is still statesmanlike. sober calcu-

tons that have tho decisive word.

VIII no doubt be appreciated by the
members OF the death battalion" in the
senate. We recall "the statesmanlIke,
SOBER calculations, and realistic po-
htical considerations" that led Ger
many to make her bid for world SUI
premacy. But the calculations" seem
to have been less "statcsmanlike" and
sober, and the political considera-
tions' much less realistic" than their
authors supposed. The trouble of
course, was that there was no following
OF worthy ideal. It was assumed that
nothing was real that could not be
touched or handled, destroyed or stolen.
It is from such a source that this COM
mendation Of American Statesman
like, sober calculations and realistic
political considerations" come.
In the few words quoted above is
the whole German philosophy of poll
ties. We are, an Germany did. to trust,
not to combined and friendly action
and cooperation, but to Sound and

been proved to be a great weakness
poisoning their whole existence. But
even they did not wholly trust 1t. For
they formed allegiances with Austria
