Trepassey, N. F., May 16-The
"jlnx'' which visited NC-i on the ini-
tial leg of the navy's transatlantic
flight, compelling her to put in at
Chatham, Mass, for repairs, turned its
attention to the NC-1 and NC-3, hold
ing them harbor-bound while the NC-4
caught up with them.
The NC-4 landed here, swooping to
NC-1 and NC-3. which had just re-
turned after an Intellectual attempt to
get away on the 1,350-mile flight 10
the Azores.
The crew of the NC-4 owes its
chance for an even start with the sis
ter planes TO the fact that the NC-1
and NC-3 refused TO rise from the
water with the heavy loads of fuel
which had been taken aboard.
ST. Johns, n. F.-The United States
navy dirigible C-5, which escaped from
its moorings here, dropped into the
sea about eightyfive miles off shore,
according to n radio message received
Identified British steamship.
Plans of the United States navy for
transatlantic flight by dirigible
received n serious jolt when the CO
burst from her moorings in a gale and
was swept out to sea soon after she
had arrived from Montauk Point. after
being in the air continuously for
twenty-five hours and forty-five min
utes.
Lieut.. Charles G. Little of Newbury-
port, Mass. who was given charge OF
the C-5 after her crew had been
bundled off to bed aboard the cruiser
Chicago, was almost carried away by
the fugitive gas bag while making a
nervy attempt to deflate it.
Seated in the "blimp'sr nacelle when
she broke away, he seized the ripcord
and gave a tug which should have
opened up the big envelope and per
initted the gus 10 escape. The cord
broke, however, and Lieut.. Little, real
izing he would be unable to bring the
ship down, leaped out from a height
of twenty-five feet His only injury
was sprafned ankle.
| A landing crew of 100 men under
4 the direction of Lieutenant Little had
fought with the gale for control OF
! the CO for six hours before Ii broke
| nway.

Paris.-President Wilson's message
10, is expected to be exceptionally
short. 1t is said it will not submit the
complete text of the peace treaty or
the proposed Franco-American engage
ment for joint military action against
Germany, both these subjects being
reserved for personal presentation on
the Presidents return. The Presi-
dents nearest associates said that
they We're unable to account for the
reports fixing June 13 as the date for
the Presidents departure.

says Germany Cannot sian.

Berlin.-Count Won Brockdorff- Rant
Eau, the head of the German peace del
egation, in communicating to the other
members of the delegation the text of
the three notes he sent TO Premier
Ciemenceau, pointed out that the peace
treaty in its present form could not be
accepted, and could not be signed, be-
cause it was impossible to fulfill its
terms. Dispatches from Versailles re
porting the counts action add that he
told the German delegation that it
would sign nothing it was not intend
ed 10 fulfill The delegation, he con-
tinued, would endeavor to improve the
treaty and make its signing possible.

Versailles, May 19.-It is quite pos
sible that Count Won Brockdorff-Rant-
Eau, head of the German peace delega-
ton, who left here, will not return TO
conduct further negotiations at Yer
sailles, according to reports received
from Spa.
The views of the chief of the Ger
man delegation and representatives
sent from Berlin to consult with him,
differed so strongly as to the further
conduct of the negotiations, according
to these reports, that Count Won Brock
dorff-Rantzau requested that he be
replaced at Versailles.
A member of the German delegE-
ton with the rank of councillor of
legation, who returned recently from
Berlin, made this declaration concern
ing the peace treaty:
1--WE will sign, despite all, because
we will be hacked to pieces If We re-
turn to Berlin without signing"
When the count will return Is un-
certain. 1t was stated in French cir
cles, which at first attempted to con-
ceal his intended departure, that he
was going only to Spa, and would re-
turn on the next train, but his alb
scnce undoubtedly is for consider
able period:
The purpose of the trip of the peace
delegates to Berlin is to discuss with
their government whether or not to
sign the peace treaty. None of the
Socialist supporters of the govern
ment, with the exception of some lead
ers of industry, are strongly opposed
TO accepting the conditions imposed by
the entente. The Independent Social
lists outside the government are just
as strongly in favor of signing. Chan
cellor Schiedemann himself apparently
has not yet made up his mind, and is
awaiting a detailed report from Count
Won Brockdorff-Rantzau.
Accompanying Count Won Brock
dorff- -Rantzau were eleven of the
eighteen advisers attached to the
economic and financial commissions,
other responsible members of the Ger
man delegation and twenty secretaries.
The party on leaving Versailles occu-
pied eight automobiles, with another
carrying baggage.
The departure of Count Won Brock
dorff- -Rantzau is for the purpose of
participating in the councils of his
government regarding the alI-import-
ant question of signing or refusing TO
sign the draft of the treaty of peace,
on which there is at present sharp
division of opinion among the mem
bers of the German government.
According TO the Havas agency,
serious disagreements have arisen
among the German delegates. A ma
jority are said to be violently opposed
to signing the treaty, while Count Won
Observation-Disclosures and the minority
see no way out but to sign. The de-
parture of the count is said to be in
connection with the disagreements.

Berlin, May 15.-President Ebert
in an interview on the peace treaty
declares: "The German people hope
that the world will not countenance
such avenglng aspirations. 1t already
is expectantly catching the first voices
from the ranks of French and English
workingmen. 1t also pins hope upon
these harbingers of new and better
world configuration. "At the same
time it proclaims TO the world at large
that, regardless of what others may
do to her, Germany does not purpose
for single moment TO tolerate such
injustice" President Ebert said the
ominous quiet produced by the first
announcement of the peace terms was
n most characteristic indication of
their effect on the German people. He
said he feared an outbreak of psychic
Juror Teutonicus" within few days.
Paris-Immediate measures tending
to the further subjugation of Germany
IL its delegates refuse to sign the peace
treaty were indicated by the announce
ment that Marshal Foch had been sent
to the Rhine by thescouncil of four to
take such action as may become lneces-
sary in the event that the treaty is
not signed.
The council of four, composed of
President Wilson, David Lloyd George,
NJ. Clemenceau and Signor Orlando,
considered the immediate reimpositiOn
of the blockade against Germany in
case the country declines to sign the
peace treaty. The subject was under
discussion at two separate meetings
of the council. On the other hand, it
is anticipated that the blockade will
be entirely lifted Immediately if the
German delegates affix their sigma
lures to the treaty.
Paris.-The answers of the council
of four to the German notes ON prison
ers of war and labor subjects have
been delivered.
One of the later German notes, deal
Ing with economic clauses of the
treaty, declares that they mean the
ruin of Germany if they are enforced.
y note on territorial questions pro-
tests particularly against the Saar
valley arrangements and the transfer
of the Malmedy Moresnet and Eupen
districts to Belgium, as well as the
forced evacuation of part of Schles-
wig

test against the payment by Germany

II
says, Germany is ready to do willingly,
1t is added. however, that Germany
will not pay reparation for this dam
age on the principle that she was re-
\ sponsible for the war.
