GERMAN PORTS SHUT
UNTIL RATIFICATION


the eye soon was caught by the figure
Of Premier Clemenceau, writing as IL his
life depended upon IL. He was writing
autographs. for the greatest autograph
hunt the world has ever seen was in
progress. Great numbers Of secretaries
bearing cards and books circulated about
gathering signatures.
The entrance OF President Wilson
caused n slight ripple of applause. which
was quickly hushed and the autograph
hunters made dive for him. With
hunched up shoulders the Big Three be-
gan dashing off autographs at the rate
of fifty a minute. the delegates them
selves joining in the chase.
Three o'clock came and Premier Glenn
enceau, hastily scribbling one more au-
tograph, arose and then sat down again.
staring toward a door at the far end OF
the room. II was the signal that the
stage was set for the entrance of the
Germans. They came In singly behind
two French escorting officers and sal
down. Nobody asked them for auto
graphs, but every one kept his eye:
fixed on them. Foreign Minister Mueller
tall. spare and blond: Colonial Minister
Bell, heavier and black haired, and Prof
Kraus, the same. They did not exchange
a word, but sat looking stupidity aheat
OF them all the time.
Premier Clemenceau arising, broke TIL
! stiffness with few carefully measured
phrases, giving the pledge Of the Allie
| that they would carry out faithfully thei
part of the treaty and then inviting tn
Germans to sign. The pause which en-
sued was the only tense moment OF tn
days event. 1t seemed ages long.

Final Act of Humiliation.

Then Mueller arose, followed by Bell.
and every eye followed them as they
moved, but again the thrill was lacking.
although many caught their breath as
the two stood bending over the table,
for after all this meant that Germany.
the foe of the world. was going through
the final act of humiliation before her
conquerors.
1t was all over the next moment, the
Germans picking their way back to their
little side table, their abnegation COM
pleted. From them the spectators
swiftly turned their eyes to witness the
triumphal march, of President Wilson to
the treaty table. for his was the honor
of signing the treaty first for the victors,
because America heads the alphabetical
list of nations.
Every eye now was following the tall
frock- coated figure OF the President. the
oEly chief OF state present, as he also
pic ked his way behind the chairs Of the
delegates. But this too was without he
expected thrills. Perhaps 1t was becauae
tile throng was too vast. too jumbled, too
sombre to cause the eye to excite he
mind.
Premier Lloyd George aroused some
what less interest and Premier Clemen-
ceau perhaps more because of what one
knew 1t meant to him and to his be-
loved country. now avenged. as he bent
over the treaty and then arose. AS he
did 30 a single gun awoke the echoes
outside as a signal that Germany and
three of the associated powers had
signed the treaty.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-30

Then began a scene on the terrace
much more thrilling than anything that
had occurred inside the palace, in which
human emotions long pent up broke
their bounds. making men throw them
selves in the arms of women. soldiers
drop their guns and kiss each other,
while hats. handkerchiefs and UNI
brellas were thrown wildly aloft on
those stately terraces of tho Grand
Monarch.
The cheering of the crowd outside
became frantic. while inside the monot-
onous ceremonial proceeded to its close.
when the delegates and spectators
poured pell nell and took the route
back to Paris, TO be cheered along the
whole way by the people to whom their
action had meant the realization of
hopes arisen on the ashes of despair.
Immediately after the signing OF the
treaty German journalists began send
ing dispatches to their home papers
from the press room of tho Allies, the
first sign that the bars were down. The
German delegates went back TO their
hotel solemnly and there issued n state
ment that Germany meant to keep
the treaty, although they believed the
Allies would have to modify some OF its
unavoidable provisions, and discharge
the German Government from respon-
sib!lity for the Polish war. Soon after
they took train for Berlin.

The third letter was addressed to

DR.. wilkinss body was taken last
night TO an undertaker's in Hampstead,
where an autopsy was performed by
DR.. Cleghorn and DR.. Warner.
DR.. wilkins was the second widely
known criminal to commit suicide In
the Nassau county Jail. In July, 1915.
Frank Holt, who attacked and tried to
kill J. p. Morgan at the latter's coun-
try home in Glen Cove, killed himself
there. Holt jumped from the upper
tier and dashed his brains out against
the stone tagging of the lower floor.

WITH THE EDITORS
THEN AND NOW

The TownIeyjtes won their election last fell by
promising the people vote all important meas
pres; and at the very first opportunity they break
their promise. They have been c!angoring for the
referendum for years and are now making most
desperate efforts TO prevent a. referendum.
They offer but one excuse for their stand and
that IS that these questions have already been
voted on by the people. Let US SEE,
When was the t. w. w. Goraigrat5on) bill
passed on by the people? Two years &go bill
appropriatng one thousand dollars for srn1a5yra~
ton purposes vetoed by Governor Frazier, as
he considered it an cZtrav&g&ncc, Now we have q
two hundred thousand dollar appropriation. No
secret was made 1T Bismarck of the fact that this
money was to be used more for the purpose Of
spreading political propaganda than for inducing
new settlers to come 10 North Dakota, The MEM
bcrs Of the Independent Voters Association are
working 10 get sufficient siyners 80 that the
people may have an opportunity To pass judgment
on this bill The league bosses are growing des-
perate in their efforts to prevent referendum.
When did the people cast An affirmative vote
on the questions involved in the educational bill?
Will some league member tell us? OF course no
one will volunteer any such information, az it il
well known to all that the bill was never an issue.
The educational bill is undoubtedly the most i'm
porant bill of ALL it vjtally affects the rising
generation. Yet the league bosses are trying to
prevent referendum vote on it.
The newspaper bil--what about it? When was
that settled by the voters? When did the voters
Of Ramsey county declare--by their ballots-that
out Of population Of seventeen thousand, no one
could be found with sufficient intelligence and in
tegrity to select an official county paper for US
When did they indicate by ballot that they pre-
ferred to have three non-residcnts make the seec-
tion? In answer to these questions the Townley-
ties screech out: Don't sign petitions"
When did the people declare in favor Of three
additional district judges? When did they so ez-
press themselves? The fact is that the court work
has been getting lighter In every judicial district
excepting the Third--the Fargo district. Judge
Hanley Of the Mandan district, went to France as
major in the army, Judge Nuessle Of the Bis
marck district, took care Of both districts and
kept up the work. Other judges have said that
there was no call for any more judges. But the
Towneyites make the same cry In regard TO this
bill: Don't sign petitions"
After passing these laws, they want to drive
out Of business each newspaper that refuses to en-
brace socialism. And after clamoring for years
for the referendum, they threaten the business
