PARIS, June s5.--American officials
now admit the needless destruction Of
American war supplies in the army
camps in. France. Ali information
Is refused as to the person who issued
the order for this waste of good material
nor will the ofiicials give even an APP
Proclamation of the amount Of property
destroyed, those In authority shifting
the blame TO subordinatcs and the latter
passing It on lower down.
The material burned consisted princi-
pally OF automobiles, which were con-
signed to the flames as junk. although
they would have brought good prices In
America. Moreover, II would not have
been necessary to send the cars to the
United States to dispose of them. With
many OF their own factories shut down
since the early days Of the war, France
is clamoring for anything in the shape
of a motor vehicle. -.
Attention was first called to this wan
ton waste by the Ndttr and was cabled
to THE SUN. With the exposure there
came a sudden order TO all the American
camps TO cease the destruction, but by
that time 1t already had progressed on
a wholesale scale.
Immediately after the publication of
the charges Frenchmen bitterly criti-
cised their own Government because OF
a rule forbidding French citizens to pur-
chase such material from the American
army. The army sold to them food and
horses, but refused to dispose of auto
mobiles. 1t develops now that the pro-
hibition was not issued by the French
Government alone, but was based on an
agreement by the French and American
authorities, under the terms of which
sales of American motor cars we're 10 be
made only to the French Government
direct
An. effort Is to be made in France to
prevent the shipment back to America Of
any material, although a large number
OF captured German cannon have been
sent to the United states or are packed
now awaiting shipment. The French
Government recently sent agents to the
various American camps to appraise the
value of the property that might be dis
posed of.

10 panic, In Dusseldorf Monday during
the last hours of the time granted to the
Government for deciding whether TO
accept peace treaty terms or not. A
rumor was widely spread that their an
swer would be a refusal aud that the
Allies would march into the town in the
evening.
The remaining Government troops
were withdrawn hurtiedfy, being replaced
by civilian guards armed and wearing
steel helmets, and there was a general
rush to leave the town.
The Spartacist faction tried to release
the people shut up in the prisons. the
railway stations were occupied and all
traffic stopped The streets we're pa
trolled by armored cars and machine
guns had TO be. used TO stop the rioting
and looting
The irony OF the position was that the
law abiding inhabitants. though some of
them we're 20 alarmed at the idea OF
what the Allies might do that they did
not dare to await their coming, feared
also their revolutionary countrymen and
were at tho same time anxious for peace
to be accepted and afraid that it would
not he. When at last II was known that
the terms were to be signed the troops
reentered the town and order was re-
stored.
In Dusseldorf and In Cologne and in
the rest of the Rhineland the Govern
ments decisions had been hailed with a
profound sense of relief. Combined with
this there was, of course. much genuine
sorrow and feeling of humiliati ton, To-
day, If never before, Germany does
realize the completeness of her defeat
and the newspapers are all in mourning
metaphorically speaking, though the
people themselves not only show no out
ward signs OF distress, but are, ] should
say. distinctly happier t.-
1t is likely enough that the question
OF the Rhineland republic may crop up
again, but at the same time there is prac-
tically a universal feeling that unity
must be the watchword II Germany, Is to
fulfil the task that Lies before her, by no
means hopeless; as she is inclined To
think, OF setting her house in order and
carrying out her obligations to the world.

Of the classes of 1907, 1908 and 1909 Is
hailed with rejoicing which, however, Is
tempered with disappointment over the
additional statement that many thou
sands of troops must remain In the SER

nier regards complete rehabilitation as
impossible now because of Germany's
threats of activity against Poland and
the characteristic German spirit shown
in the sinking Of the fleet In Scapa

PANS. June, 25.--French politicians
are deeply Interested in a persistent and
seemingly we'll founded report that Pre-
rf1ier Clemenceau soon will resign. The
old Tiger" now Is nearly rs. During
mary stormy years he upheld his reputa-
ton as Cabinet breaker, but in the
recent. past he has given a splendid ex-
hibition OF constructive statesmanship.
Taking the Premiership at the most
critical point of the war, he steered
France to victory, and since then has
represented his country at the peace
table. -
1t is known that he would like nothing
better than this achievement should re-
main the GROWING act OF his long career.
He has announced his intention Of
making an official statement of the sign
ing of the peace treaty to the French
Parliament, and in some quarters 1t is
believed that he will take that oppor-
tunity TO declare his desire 10 retire at
once. He has announced also that there
Will be a'Eeneral election in September
or October, ana persons close to him say
he will not voluntarily relinquish his
post until that time.
At all events, although the Premier
is not letting his plans be known. It
| seems probable that he will retain the
peace treaty by the French Senate some
time in July His place. in history will
be higher stiH IL the ratification Of the
agreement Is added to his other achieve
ments On the other hand many be-
lieve that, his immediate resisnat ion
would be clever political move.
Labor Unrest PerpIexins.
France soon win be at peace with the
wpflu; at least 'ostepsibly, but the labor
unrest here by no means Is abated.
The treaty of Versailles will not bring
immediate RELIEF from fine high costs of
living, and the syndlcalist agitators,
having permitted the Peace Conference
to reach practically its end without pre-
cipitating the threatened general up
heaval, are in a position to make a
forcible demand for relief from the ex-
istlng- intolerable conditions. On. this
account the next few months promise to
be stormy ones for the Premier, whoever
he may be. So
