LAST THROES OF
HUN RESISTANCE
SAY THEIR PLANS OF LEAGUE
OF NATIONS ARE SUPERIOR
TO THOSE OF WILSON,.
STILL PLEADING INABILITY
clemenceau, Speaking Of Germans In
Speech Said, "You Must Sign
Either at Versailles or Berlin.

Beriin.-Germany is willing to agree
to the proposed stipulations regard
ing her military, aerial and naval
forces contained in the draft Of the
peace treaty, provided that she is per-
mitted to enter the league Of nations
on an equal footing Immediately upon
the signing Of peace and particularly
that she be permitted to share in the
complete equality and reciprocity OF
all nations in the economic domain.
This declaration ~ contained In
the second section OF the German
memorandum embodying the counter
proposals to the peace terms. At the
same time, it is declared, the German
delegation holds to its idea OF the SUI
periority OF it's own draft OF proposals
for a league Of nations.
THE covering note" presented to
the peace conference by the German
delegation says:
I'VE came to Versailles expecting
to receive a peace proposal framed
according to the agreed basis. We
had firm resolve to do everything
in our power to fulfill the heavy obli-
cations assumed by us We were
shocked when we read in that docu-
ment the demands which the victo-
rious might Of our opponents had set
forth. The more we studied the
spirit of the treaty. the more we
were convinced Of the impossibility
of carrying it out The demands of
this treaty go beyond the strength of
the German people,"

GERMAN PRESS COMMENTS
ON COUNTER-PROPOS

Berlin.-The newspapers comment
at great length on the German count
er proposals. Theodor Wolff in The
Tageblatt says that the whole count
er draft corresponds to the Demo-
cratic ideals of right. and in no way
to military nationalist conceptions.
The demand that the occupation
troops shall return home in six
months at the latest might also be
reckoned as meant to effect the pres
ervation Of German sovereignty.

DEPTH CHARGES WERE
SUBS WORST ENEMY

London, Jan. 17.-Depth charges,
in the opinion of many offers engag-
ed in submarine chasing, were the
chief factor in checking the German
submarine campaign. The war had
gone on for nearly two and half
years before the depth charges were
perfected. Previous to that time
trawlers dragged mines about on
cables in an effort to strike sub
marines and used other equally dan
gerous and futile devices.
But the perfected depth charges.
so arranged that they could be timed
for explosion at any desired depth,
solved the problem of the small chas-
ers which were fighting the sub
marine. Trawlers with sufficient
speed could drop these charges and
set out Of the danger zone. The
mortality among submarine chasers
Immediately dropped and the seas
became very unsafe for the sensitive
underseas craft.

HOLDING SKELETON OF
HUN ARMY TOGETHER

Coblenz, Jan. lit is not to be
supposed that the German army is
completely disintegrated or that ii
has ceased to be a potential military
machine. OF course, it is today
nothing like it was on November IL,
but perhaps it is equal in size to
what the German army was the first
of July, 1914. There were about
3, 800, 900 men in the German army
when hostilities ceased; there are
more than 100000 men in the Ger
man army today. Its morale in a
crisis is big question. But it must
be borne in mind that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg has kept up large
part of the officers corps and the
skeletons Of many regiments and
divisions Of which most of the pri-
Yates have been demobllized.
Hindenburg plans to turn over
his command of the army to the gov
ernment on February l and it is his
intention to deliver then an appre-
ciable army for whatever use the
government may seek to put it to.
1t has been proved not true that
all German soldiers except two
classes have been discharged The
classes Of 1896, 1897, 1898 and
1899 have not been discharged off
cially. Members of classes of 1896
and 1897 living in occupied Germany
have been discharged, and the dis
charge Of all members of these
classes had been promised for Feb
ruary, but has not yet taken place.
The size of class in Germany aver
ages 100000, but, OF course, there
have been heavy tolls among these
classes, and the estimate of the
number Of men now in the German
army is placed at 1,250,0O0.
How great have been the inroads
OF Bolshevist preachings in their
ranks no one yet, not even their
commissioned officers, knows accu-
rately. The officers generally, are
faithful to their commanders. It Is
in his officers corps that linden
burg places great reliance as force
to restore order in Germany should
the old commander be called upon
to undertake that task.-Edwin l..

up for discussion and was argued to
some length, Miss Alma Woke.

and presented her side OF the case.
Some OF the councilmen favored
closing the show. but this could not
be done without closing other bus

lcrimination, Mayor Demaray OK
planned that the reason he wished
the card rooms to temporarily close
was so he could chit the private
card parties and dances" He has
not ordered these places to close. but
merely requested the proprietors to
keep their card rooms shut down
as an act OF cooperation with the
health officers.
sThe mayor made II plain that II
was the private card parties and
dahces that he was trying TO close,
but others contend that he could ac-
complished the same end by placing
n ban on all card parties. dances and
entertainments where there Ia not n
remuneration received. That would
have permitted the proprietors OF
card rooms to continue their bus

ments would be banned. However,

broadway Theatcr Offers New Film

brOauNAy IncotCr OuerS New rum
The opening performance of Tar
xan of the Apes" was given last
night at the Broadway Theatre be-
fore an enthusiastic and representa-
tive audience. The house was pack
ed to the doors. and hundreds Of
late corners were turned away. II
the first night reception is indicative
of the public's attitude toward the
play the feature is indisputably
scheduled for long and successful
run.
The story takes the form of n
jungle melodrama, in which every
possible variety of thrill is crowded
into a Robinson Crusoe setting. It
follows the adventures of youth,
who, when baby, is stolen from his
mother by a huge ape and brought
up In the latter's native haunts. The
boy is really the son of nobleman
in England. and a faithful servant,
who has escaped from a band OF
Arab slavers, returns to England and
endeavors to restore him to his
righttul position as peer OF wealthy
estate.
He is foiled at every turn by the
son of barmaid, the false heir to
the title. who is finally reduced to
defeat.
Meanwhile the real heir Is still in
the jungle, where he spends his
time getting the rescuing parties.
sent for his benefit, out OF their
difficulties.
In one of these fights with the en-
tire Jungle he saves a beautiful mai
den from a ferocious lion, and a
charming jungle romance quickly
develops. The last reel closes with
sentimental fade-out in which the
unwilling heir finds that ignorance
is bliss and that there are many 9TH
er compensations for a title and es-
tate in England.-N. Y. Evening
