William Still Seeks Home in
Netherlands, Expecting to
Escape Deportation

AMERONGEN, June 2S (By The
Associated Press).-Former Emperor
William and his advisers are ap-
parently fully confident that the Meth
erlands government will refuse to con-
sent to the Entente's forthcoming de-
msnd for his extradition which the
former Emperor's suite regards as IL
legal under existing international law.
Several members Of the entourage
are absent from Amerongen inspecting
houses with a view to the purchase of.
Herr Hohenzollern's future residence,
and indications point to his removal
within a short period from his present
place of exile.
The former monarch was himself
outwardly calm after the first shock of
hearing that Germany had decided to
sign the treaty without reservations
His wife was more affected and ap-
peared to be deeply saddcned by the
prospect that it will be impossible for
her to return to Germany. She re-
mained within the castle when her hus-
band went, with DR.. Forester, to re-
sumo his morning logsawing and was
not seen about the garden during the
day.
AS far as can be learned, the choice
of future home for William lies be-
tween two castles, one in the vicinity
of Doorn and the ether near Arnhcm.

U. S. Legally at Var
Till Senate Ratitfes

A ccoRDlNG to the decisions of
= = the United States Supreme Court,
we are still at war with Germany
and will continue in this state until
the treaty of peace is ratified by the
Senate. This question has been
ruled on many times by the highest
tribunal.
After the Spanish War a suit was
instituted against the United States
to recover for vessel seized by the
military establishment during the oc-
cupation of Cuba. The evidence
showed that an attempt was made to
return the vessel to its owners be-
tween December, 1898, when the
treaty was signed, and April, 1899,
when it was ratified. The owners de-
clined to accept the ship, which was
subsequently wrecked.
In deciding this case Justice Har-
Ian, of the Supreme Court, as quoted
in Vol. 1914 of the United States Su-
preme Court Reports, said:
"A state Of war did not in law cease
until after the ratification, In April,
1899, Of the treaty Of peace"

VIII Be Maintained
Ne1O York Tribune
W0ahi,7utor E,,,roo,,

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The fol-
lowing notice was cabled to Premier
Clemenceau, as chairman of the peace
conference, and to President Wilson at
Paris, and duplicates were delivered at
the White House and to the State De-
partment here yesterday by DR.. Syng-
man Rhee, as president of the Republic
Of Corea:
con behalf Of the people and legiti-
mate government Of Chosen, now the
Republic of Corea, hereby notify you,
and through you all commissioners or
delegates to the peace conference, that
the people and government of Corea
will not be bound by signature or any
act of Japanese government or Jap
anese ministers or delegates affecting
the territorial integrity, governmental
policy or independence of Corea or
Chosen. We have asserted and will
maintain absolute independence Of
Corea. AS per previous advices, the
Hon. ]: Kiusic S. Kimm is the duly ap-
pointed and accredited minister or
delegate from the government Of Corea
to the peace conference. Any act or
signature not concurred in or approved
by him will not be binding upon or
considered valid by the people and gov
ernment of Corea."

that these representatives would be
able on their return to the United
States to obtain from the Senate and
the people ratification of the pledges
they had entered into here. No other
recourse was deemed practical or even
possible.
1t being too late now to reconsider
any phase of the trenty, and the
European statesmen having made up
their minds at the beginning to follow
the foregoing policy, they deem it
useless to concern themselves with
the matter of ratification by America,
which they nevertheless hope will be
granted without reservation, even as
President Wilson himself hopes.
The President himself believes that
America is assured at every turn of
protection for herself and of her own
right to decide whether she will enter
or refuse to enter any war. He con-
siders the long time consumed in the
peace negotiations valuable not only
to the statesmen concerned, who have
come to learn and understand and ap-
preciate the good will and intentions Of
each other, but also as valuable in
calculating the various problems that
have come up.

feels that there is no excuse for mis-
representation of the covenant, the
text having been public property for
many weeks.
1t may seem surprising to Americans
at home how little attention has been
given to the Senatorial peace resolu-
tlons by the members of the peace con-
ference. Beyond brief kilograms, half
a column at the longest, appearing in
the French papers, almost no notice
has been taken by the press of the
Root letter or the Knox and Fall reso-
lutions. The reason is the avalanche
of European problems crowding on the
minds of the peace commissioners and
hlllng the columns of the newspapers.
AS long ago as the Presidents first
arrival in Europe the attitude Of the
majority of the American Senate was
taken into consideration by the British
and French and the other peace dele
gates, who then resolved that the only
course they could pursue was to ne
gotiate with the accredited American
representatives, trusting and hoping

Chinese Tell Why
They Won't Sign
delegates Say ParIey De-
MED the Right to Re-
open Shantung Policy

PARIS, June % (By The Associated
Press After its refusal to sign the
peace treaty to-day, the Chinese dele
cation issued an official statement on
its position, reviewing its protest
against the Shuntung settlement, made
to the council of Prime Ministers on
May 4, and its reservation IN the same
of the peace conference May 6, against
the transfer of German rights in Sh-..:
tung TO Japan instead of to China.
The statement says the action of the
conference on Shantung evoked
makes it impossible for the Chinese gov
eminent to accept the Objectionable
clause in the treaty.
The Chinese delegations proposal
was that 1t write in the treaty above
its signature subject to reservation
made at the plenary session of May g.
relative to the question of Shantung in
articles 156. l57 and 18S."
The statement says the peace con-
ference, through official channels, de-
MED any action on the part of China
open the Shantung question.
AFTER failing in all earnest attempts
at conciliation," says the statement,
land after seeing every honorable com
promise rejected, the Chinese delega-
sion had no course open save to adhere
to the path of duty to their country.
Rather than accept by their sigma
lures the Shantung articles in the
treaty against which their sense of
right and justice initiated, they re-
Trained from signing the treaty alto
gether The Chinese plenipotentiaries
regret having to take g course which
appears to mar the solidarity of the
Allied and associated powers, but they
are firmly OF the opinion, however.
that responsibility for this rests not
with themselves, who had no other
honorable course, but rather with those
who it is felt unjustly and unneces-
sarily deprived them Of the right of
making a declaration to safeguard
against any interpre tation which might
preclude China from asking for recon
sideration Of the Shantung question at
suitable moment in the future, in
the hope that the injustice to China
might be rectifed later in the in
.crest OF permanent peace in the Far
East
The peace conference having de-
MED China justice in the settlement
of the Shantung question ard having

this circuit ready at 10 o'clock, Wash
iington time, to-day, which is o'clock

How News Was Received
Acting Secretary Phillips announced
the news as it came in bulletin form.
The first bulletin of the actual pro-
ccedlngs announced the calling of the
session to order by M. Clemenceau.
There was practically instantaneous
service over this special circuit" said
Mr. Phillips: "The signing began at
3:12 p. M. Paris time, received 1882
a. m., Washington time, which is ac-
counted for by the difference in time
between Washington and Versailles,
and closed at 11:20 a. M, WASHINGTON
time.
DR. Hermann Mueller, the German
Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Dr.,
Johannes Bell, the Colonial Minister
OF Germany, were the first to sign the
historic document, the former at 1912,
Paris time. and the latter at 3:13, each
signing being Immediately flashed over
the wire. President Wilson signed at
3:14 p. M, and Secretary Lansing and
the others of the American delegation
slngned Immediately following. Next
came the British plenipotiaries and
then all the other delegations in the
order set forth in the treaty"
All along the line traffic was kept
clear to permit instantaneous trans
mission of the bulletins and cable and
telegraph officials were on watch at
various points to see that nothing in
terfered with the right of way of
these official messages from Yer

CLEVELAND, June 28.--"Ratify the
peace treaty and the league of nations,
reduce the high cost of living and
thoroughly Americanize all residents
in the United States"
This is the programme for immedi-
ate action by the nation outlined by
Secretary Baker during a twelve-hour
stay here to-day. He came direct from
Washington on some personal matters
and expected to return to the capital
this evening.
81 believe the adoption of the peace
treaty, including the league Of nations
just now," he said. "The whole world
must be returned to normal basis as
quickly as possible. Then here in
America we can take up the other
pressing problems, the high cost of liv-
ing and Americanization.
81 believe the work of the peace con-
ference will be ratified in spite of all
opposition. People everywhere are
anxious to get back to a stable basis
as soon as possible. Understand l do
not say the league Of nations is pan
acea for all the ills of the world.
Throughout the world there is need Of
thorough popular understanding Of
what it means to make it success"
Secretary Baker was not prepared to
offer any concrete suggestions as to
how to reduce the high cost Of living
or make it more bearable.

duced," he said. II think this prob

NAMED in their places for the entry
of the Germans.
The German delegates had arrived
in Versailles early in the day by auto
from St. Cyr, instead of taking the
belt line railroad, as did the German
2ielegates who came here to receive
the terms of peace on May 7. Their
credentials were approved by the
peace conference authorities this af-
5ternoon shortly before the ceremony.
Within the Hall of Mirrors the
scene of the signing had been care
fully laid. Seventy-two chairs for
the plenipotentiaries were ranged
around the horseshoe table, that
measured fully eighty feet in length.
A chair for Premier Clemenceau,
president of the Peace Conference,
was placed at the head of the long
table, facing the windows, with a
place for President Wilson drawn
up on the right and another for
Premier Lloyd George on the left.
The German delegates had been
assigned seats on the side Of the
table nearest the door through which
they entered the hall. On their right
sat the Japanese and on the left
the Brazilians. The representatives
OF Ecuador, Peru and Liberia faced
the Germans across The narrow
table.
The seating Of the Germans near
the door had been arranged to facili-
tate their exit from the chamber
before the semi-state procession of
Athe Allied delegates to the terrace
began.
Inside the horseshoe there were
tables and chairs fer secretaries and
other officials, about a hundred in
number. And also within the in
closure stood the three small tables
whereon lay the three documents
signed by the plenipotentiaries-
the treaty, the protocol and the
Rhine arrangement. This plan en-
abled three persons to be engaged
simultaneously in affixing their sig
natures.
The table on which the treaty lay
was q leather-covered antique of the
Regency period, with bronze orna-
mentation. The horseshoe table
was covered with a tawny yellow
cloth that blended with the rich
hangings of the room.

OF the Presidents address to the
