Germans at Versailles
Ask for More Freedom

PARIS, April 26 (By The Associated
Press) )-The afternoon newspapers de-
voted much space to-day to the German
peace delegates at Versailles, describ-
ing how they went to bed at 10 o'clock
last night and brcakfasted at 1890
O'Clock this morning on chocolate.

fresh butter
The delegates have expressed the
opinion that the rooms reserved in the
Hotel des Reservoirs and the Hotel
Natel would be insufficient for the
number of Germans arriving, so it has
oeen determined to requisition in addi-
ton the Hotel Suisse.
Baron Won Lersner, formerly secre-
tary OF the German Embassy at Wash
lngton and one of the prominent mem
bers of the delegation, has again in
sisted that greater liberty be allowed
the party, showing letter from Cen
eral Nudant, representative of Marshal
Foch at Spa, which promised the Ger
mans complete liberty. Baron Won
Lersner remarked that the German mis-
sions to Paris circulated freely.
"Furthermore," he declared, eve
would attract far less notice if not
kept within small space"

Kurt Eisner's assassin
Is Reported Slain
RERLlN, April 26 (Bavarian).-

PERRIN, April &c (Bavarian)-
Coun+ Arco Valley, who assas-
slnated Kurt Eisner, the Bavarian
Premier, at Munich, on February u.
and has since been in hospital
there after an attempted lynching by
mob, was recently dragged from
the hospital by a spartacide crowd
and killed, according to a political
agent who has reached Bambere
from Munich. On witnessing this
development Herr Auer, the former
Minister of the Interior, who was
wounded during the outbreak in the
bavarlan Diet in February and has
also been in the hospital, left that
institution in fear Of his life. For
mer War Minister Rosshaupter has
fled from Munich and arrived at
Bamberg.
Many wealthy residents of Munich,
according to the same source, have
been arrested by the Munich ex-
tremists, some Of them, however,
afterward obtaining their release by
money payments.

America would not seek to intervene,
but would content itself by Loyalty
supporting the views Of its allies.
Suppose that America, following the
suggestion Of its great founder, had. IN
view ot the extraordinary emergency IL
civilization, frankly recognized an en-
tente with Great Britain, France and
Italy, and Loyalty supported them in re-
establishing the shattered edifce Of
European civilization, but had refused
to decide any question in which Amcc.
lea had no legitimate concern and VITA
which our people, divided in race, could
not have any common sympathy.
'In such event, we would be to-das u
nation of unimpaircd power and i6~
fiuenCe.
Became World Arbiter
instead Of following this course. our
representatives chose TO establish &
nondescript league Of nations Of all
kinds and descriptions, with many of
which we have no common interests
and for some of which we can possibly
have no sympathy. And our represen-
tatives did not stop there. Forgetful
of Washington's wise policy, they as
sumed the role of arbiter in many minor
controversies Of no practical interest
W hHlcTlCds
"Takc, for example, the illustration
which is now in every mind. How many
Americans, until recent months, ever
heard Of Fiume? What interest has
America in the decision of a question
whether an obscure city on the Adri-
attic shall belong to the Jugo-Slav ma
ton or to Italy?
with one hnnd President Wilson
takes Danzig from Poland and with
the other gives Fiume TO Jugo- -Slavia;
and simultaneously he recognizes The
English protcctorate over Egypt, but
reserves decision hg to it's details and
encourages the dangerous unrest
among its people. When did the Amet-
lean people give it's President man
date to determine these questions in
which the United States has no prnc-
tical interest whatsoever?
"Washington or Wilson"
"If President Wilson is right, then
George Washington was wrong; if
George Washington was right, then
President Wilson is wrong. The two
policies cannot be reconciled.
ashingtons counsel is something
more than tradition. 1t is-or was
"a continuing policy.
And yet we are now asked to dis
regard forever this wise policy and to
underwrite virtually the whole world
with the blood and treasure of Amer
ica. No such revolutionary change in
nations policy was ever made or
dreamed of before.
fortunately, it is not 100 late to
retrace our steps and to avoid the trap
that is set for US. All America looks
to the next Senate of the United
States, under the wise and courageous
leadership Of the distinguished Sem
ator from Massachusetts, to save
America from a fatal and irreparable
error"

BERLIN, April 26.--The peace set
tlement continues to dominate the in
ternal political situation, which is felt
to be precarious. The talk heard on
all sides is that everything depends on
the terms Germany will be compelled

government itself is involved in the

sspondents hear such talk so consistent
- that II is difficult to believe it to be

The argument is odvanced that the
government itself rests on a sandy
foundation, which is steadily shifting.
and must grow still more insecure if
the people are compelled to accept a
peace which would shatter the eco
nomic structure.
The precarious position of the GOV
ernment also is aggravated by the fact
that the following Of tho Majority So

spected the unselfish purpose which had
drawn us into the war and the deter

had exerted in the final campaign of
the greatest war that the world has
ever known. The whole world turned
