Count Won BrockdOrff- Rantzau
Characterizes the Peace
Treaty as a Sentence of Death
on His Misled Countrymen
AUSTRIA'S CASE UP NEXT
Delegates Urge Haste In Presenting
Peace Terms, Declaring Further
Delay WIN Cause .'Rcgrettnble Strain
on Austria Financially"
CBy the Associated Press)

As the day for the Germans to give
answer to the peace demands of the allied
and associated governments approaches
and the German plenipotentiaries have
announced that they will ask no further
extension of time beyond Thursday, the
limit set by the allies-there apparently
has been no change in the sentiment of
German government circles that the
treaty should not be signed
Should !, under pressure from our
own misled countrymen, sign this sem
tence of DEATH" an utterance attributed
TO Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, head
OF the German peace delegation, in reply
10 question as to whether the demands
of the independent socialists that the
compact should be duly scaled, sums UT
generally the state of mind supposed to
exist in the higher walks of German
political life.
Meanwhile allied commissions are
preparing shortly to hand to Austria
and Bulgaria the treaties that are to
be drawn up for them. Tho Austrians,
who have been for some time at st.
German are chatting under the DELAY
in being called before the peace con-
gress. The delay is declared to be
mainly due to the settlement of con-
ditions regarding reparatons.
DIR. Renner, head of the Austrian
delegation, has appealed to Premier
Clemenceau, president of the peace
conference, urging haste in the pre-
sentation of the peace treaty. declar-
ing that the delay is creating a ire
grettable strain on Austria finan-
cially.
The belief is expressed in Paris that the
new states taken away from Austria Hun
gary will not be compelled by the allied
and associated powers, to make payments
monarchy or the public property taken
over by them. The Council of Four is
now engaged in thoroughly going into the
situation of these new states.
Anti-Bolshevik factions in Russia. head
ed by Admiral Kolchak and General Den-
kline are to receive conditional recognition
by the Council of Four. according to a re-
port in Paris. The condition is said to be
that the governments of these leaders
are to convoke and accept the verdict of a
genuine constituent assembly, which is
to determine the future form of govern
ment for Russia.
Such action by the Council of Four
would enable the allies to assist In the
struggle against soviet rule in Russia by
furnishing Kochak and Denikine with
arms. munitions, money and food on a
larger scale than previously. No troops
would be furnished the anti-Boshevils
leaders, according to the reports.

BITTER DEBATE ON
f. LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Senator Reed, Democrat, At
tacks the Covenant So Vigor-
ously He Arouses Repeated
Objections of Its Supporters
CHAIR RAPS FOR ORDER
Reed Declares That II Republican
President Had Brought Covenant to
Senate Every Democrat Present
Would Oppose IL

Washington, May 26.-The League of
Nations was debated in the Senate again
to-day with an increasing show Of bitter
ness
Senator Reed, democrat, of Missouri, at
tackled the proposal in such vigorous terms
that he aroused repeated objections from
senators supporting 1t and developed a
running debate colored by dramatic accu-
sations and heated retorts. The Missouri
senator declared the league would place
the destinlos of the white race in the
hands of ignorant and superstitious ma
tons of black and yellow population, and
charged that many democrats were sup
porting it for partisan reasons.
In frequent interruptions of the Missouri
senator's speech, Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska. ranking democrat of the for
eign relations committee, insisted that
the premises for these charges were false
and that the interferences drawn were
unfair and dangerous. He drew In turn
a reply from Senator Knox, republican,
of Pennsylvania, who suggested that sup
porters of the league covenant should
read it before they discussed it.
So heated did the exchanges become
at one point that the chair raped for
order and Senator Reed declared that
Senator Hitchcock had lost his temper"
The measure which brought the league
issue before the Senate was the resolu-
ton Of Senator Johnson, republican, Of
California requesting from the state de-
partment the full text of the peace treaty
There was no attempt to reach vote
on the resolution, on which debate began
last Friday and the measure went over
again as unfinished business to come up
when the Senate reconvenes Wednes-
day.
Without speaking directly on the John
son resolution, Senator Reed made a
general attack on the question of tho
league covenant itself as a proposal to
hand over control Of the white race and
the civilized world to an assembly Of
nations where a majority always could
be brought together on any race aues-
ton in opposition to white supremacy.
He declared support of the league plan
never could be explained at home by
senators from the south, with its negro
Chinese and Japanese problems. Turn
ing dramatically to his democratic COL
leagues he continued:
IF republican president had brought
1t here-f Roosevelt had brought 1t here
there isn't a democrat that wouldn't
have been standing by my side fight
ing to the last ditch to rescue the coun-
try from so monstrous and so cruel a
thing"

HOW FORD TREATS
HIS EMPLOYEES
Evidence in Libel Suit Gives
Glimpses into Routine of
Big Auto Plant

Mount Clemens, Mich, May 26-Wit-
nesses for Henry Ford, who is suing the
Chicago Daily Tribune for ST. 900, 600 dam
ages on a charge of libel, gave glimpses
Of the routine of the big Ford plant to.
day. Opening testimony was along the
line Of refutation Of the assertion in the
Tribune's alleged libelous editorial headed
Ford is an anarchist" that at the time
the National Guard was called out for
service on the Mexican border Mr.. Ford
would not hold his employees jobs open
for them while absent.
The witnesses were John j. Henkel,
head Of the employment department
which has power to hire and dismiss an
average of 10000 persons employed in
the factories; Harry Somers, his assistant,
and Norman NJ. Baker. a foreman in the
plant. who for seven years has been a
member Of the Michigan National Guard.
Baker said he served with the guard
during the copper strike in upper Michi-
gan in 1913; answered the call for Next
can service in 1916 and had attended
the annual guard encampments at Gray
ling, Mich, He testified that during his
military service he was always rein
stated and never Disseminated against
guard.
The substance Of the testimony of the
witnesses was that for years 1t has been
the Ford policy to reinstate men who
ceased employment for reasons beyond
their control. such as sickness or mill
tary service and that this policy was in
full operation when the national guard
was called out in 1915.
Much of the testimony revolved around
memorandum slips made out by FORE
men when men quit their employment
and little discs given some Of them when
they left to go with the guard.

the Ford plant. 1t was said, gets the
slip as clearance from his foreman
and returns II to the employment divi-
sion when he wishes to reenter the
service. Some 80 or 40 employees Joined
the guard. 1t was said. Those who
came personally to Henkel or Somars,
they testified, were given the little
discs which, the witnesses declared,
assured them reinstatement when they
returned, but which counsel for the
Tribune insisted merely guaranteed
that they could get into the employ
ment offices without standing in line
with new applicants.
Many questions were asked concern

orandum slip bore the notation IRE
