PLEBISCITE PLEASING
TO GERMAN PEOPLE
If II Covers the Whole Eastern Terri
tory Under Dispute They Would Be
Inclined to Accept Terms.

Weimsr Monday, June l6 tBy the AS.
soeiated Press Germany was still in
ignorance of the revised peace terms to-
day the authorities declaring they were
yet utterly in the dark. They had not
been able to form any judgment as to
how the final terms would shape up by
their perusal of the entente press, which
one day would contain reports favorable
to Germany and the next day have the
opposite trend
The correspondent has learned on good
authority, however, that the most i'm
portant point as regards the treaty, in
German opinion, is that of plebiscite
in the east, not only for upper Silesis,
but for the entire eastern section COW
cred by the original terms, and that a
free vote Of the German population in
East and West Prussia, Posen and Sile-
sia would strongly incline Germany to
sign the treaty.

ALLIES DELEGATES
LOOK FOR REFUSAL
FROM THE GERMANS
Except One Man, Who Be-
lieves the Germans Have
Full knowledge That Yes
terday's Final Terms to
Germany Are Backed Up
by Unanimous Sentiment.

Paris, June 1.-THE majority Of the
members of the peace conference believe
that Germany will not sign the peace
treaty, according to Marcel Hutin of the
Echo de Paris, who made canvas of a
number of the leading personalities of
the peace. making body. Only one of
those leaders, NJ Hutin declares, ex-
pressed the opinion that the Germans
would accept the revised treaty. This
member, however, is one whose opinion,
the writer says, he holds in the greatest
esteem.
The delegate in question, NJ. Hutin ex-
plains, based his opinion that the Ger
mans will sign the treaty on the fact
that they have knowledge that at yes
terday's meeting of the council of four
complete agreement was reached on
lthe consequences which would follow
Germany's refusal of the peace proffered.
They were aware, the delegate pointed
out, that peace would then be imposed
by force, in accordance with President
Wilson's Baltimore speech, and that or
ders had been given for an allied force
of 100000 men, supported by heavy ar
tillery of hitherto unrevealed power, to
begin an advance ON the morning of
June "a
Confronted by such realities, which
alone count with them. the German gov
ernment and the national assembly at
Weimar, the delegate thinks, would de-
eide to sign the treaty.
The newspapers to-day, the Havas
agencys summary of the comment
shows, unanimously expresses approval
of the strong memorandum Premier
Clemeneeau addressed to the German del
egation. Some of them regret that GER
tain of concessions were made, but they
are one in expressing the belief that the
Germans, faced as they are by the uni
versal desire for peace and with their
knowledge Of the superiority of the allied
forces, viii sign the treaty within the
time limit.

TWO RUTLAND BOYS DROWNED.
One Other Narrowly Escaped the Same
Fate.

Rutland, June I7.-One of the worst
drowning accidents that has happened in
or near Rutland in many years occurred
yesterday afternoon shortly after
O'Clock at the sand pit of the Vermont
Marble company on the road to Pittsford
continuing from Grove street, when
Thomas Colomb of 1875 Convent avenue,
eight years old, and Clarence Boutwell,
of the town of Rutland H. met death.
Leon Boutwell,, six-year old brother of
Clarence, was saved by clinging to some
weeds just high enough to keep his head
above water until he was rescued after
a raft, on which the three were, tipped
them off.
The accident happened at an old pit
on the east side of Grove street, where
sand had been taken out and sent in
buckets on tramway to the marble
plant in Proctor Water had filled the
excavation, making a pond about so feet
wide and 100 feet long and several feet
deep, where the children who attend the

truth of these charges is admitted by the
Germans themselves through their reyo-

"The war was crime deliberately

unemployment and disease stalk across
the continent from end to end. The pun

plices." The tribunals established for the

SOME CONCESSIONS
MADE TO GERMANY
IN THE FINAL REPLY
Include Frontier Rectifcations for West
Prussia, Plebiscite for Upper Silesia,
Guarantee for Fair Treatment in Sc
curing Mineral Products, Modifca-
ton of Finance, Economic and
Waterways Phases.

Paris, June 16.--The detailed reply of
the peace conference to the counter pro-
posals of the Germans, which was hand
ed to sle German delegation at Versailles
to-day, takes up in its order each of the
objections made by the enemy to the pro-
visions Of the original peace treaty.
Among the notifications to the treaty
which are acceded to by the conference
are frontier rectifcations for West Prus-
sa, a plebiscite in upper Silesia, with a
guarantee to Germany that she will re-
ceive fair treatment in securing mineral
products from that region; notifications
in the clauses relating to finance, eco.
nomic and waterways phases of the
treaty; permission for Germany to re-
tain 100000 men in its army temperate
ly, and promise to furnish Germany
withiz q month with full list of the
persons who are to be tried for response
bility for the great conflict and viola
tions of the laws of war.
Taking up the subject of penalties, the
reply enters into discussion of the inn
mediate cause of the war and says that
the conflict was brought about through
the decision, deliberately taken, of the
statesmen of Berlin, Vienna and Buda
pest" 1t is pointed out that even the
German memorandum admits that Ger
many authorized Austria Hungary to
settle the Serbian question on her own
initiative and, moreover, supported Aus
tria's rejection of Serbia's "extraordi-
nary concessions" 1t is declared that
Germany steadily rejected every propo-
sal for a conference and did not urge
moderation until all hope of avoiding
war had vanished German attempts 10

her mobilization of her army, it is point
