Says Ex-Kaiser Poor Critic.

The conversation turned to Kaiser
Wilhelm as an artist and critic. Con-
corning this Herr Won Bode said:
'The emperor has some 1000 pic
lures in his collection. Nine hundred
of these were worthless and I
wouldn't have them for a gift. No,
the emperor was no artist, nor was
he a critic. He hated modern art
and failed to understand the art of
tho old masters. He was merely q
we'll meaning enthusiast"
Herr Won Bode suddenly unfolded
the much-creased postal card.
Speaking Of the emperor and art"
he said. heres q letter from his
son. August wilhelm. He was here
the other day, inQuiring how he could
raise money by selling some OF his

Japan Squarely With Powers.

tions that might have been threatened

Presented to Plenary Session.

PARIS. May 6.-The peace treaty was
presented to the minor powers at a Sc
cret plenary session this afternoon.
whlcn adjourned at 5:15 o'clock. The
draft OF the treaty is considered now as
having passed the final stage before be-
ing presented to the Germans.
The final meeting Of the council Of
three before the presentation of the
peace treaty to the Germans was held
this morning. It is understood that the
last details Of the treaty presentation
ceremony were discussed as we'll as the
arrangements for this afternoons plen-
ary session Of the conference.
Foch Sees Inadequate Security.
Marshal Foch in a speech at the
plenary session declared that the Sc
curity given France was inadequate
from a military point of view and
SAID 1t was his. personal conviction
that the treaty should not be signed.
The marshal emphasized the neces-
sity OF France holding the bridge
heads along the Rhine and said that
occupation limited to fifteen years
was not sufficient.
Capt. Andre Tardieu read sum-
mary OF the treaty, as the complete
printed text was not ready when the
session was called. One Of the notable
features incorporated in the treaty
was that dealing with the RESPONSE
bility Of former Emperor william
for causing the war and providing
for his trial by a court Of ave judges
from the great powers. When the
reading Of the summary was con-
cluded reservations were made in be-
helf OF Portugal. China, Italy and
France. These reservations are under
stood as applicable to viewpoints on va
rious phases Of the treaty rather than as
objections to the adoption Of the pact
as whole.
China Asks Reconsideration.
Portugal objected to what were said
to be clauses giving insufficient finan-
cial recognition for the part she had
taken in the war. China's objection
was made by her foreign minister.
who said that in tho opinion Of the
Chinese delegation. the Kiaochow set
tlement was made without regard to
Justice for China or the protection Of
China's territory and integrity. He
asked for q reconsideration Of tho
question and. If that were not possi-
BILE. said he desired to make reserva-
tions on the part Of China.
sisnor crespi, speaking for Italy,
Evening star., 1919-05-07

said he desired to make reservations
regarding any section of the treaty
that might not be acceptable to Italy.
No action was taken on these reserVa-
tions except to announce that they
had been duly noted.
Secrecy Marks Session.
The session was held under condi-
tions of unusual secrecy, all doors and
windows being closed despite the fact
that the day was exceptionally warm
The reading of the summary began
in French. an English Interpretation
being given later. When 1t was OBJ
served that many of the delegates
were not following the English inter-
pretation. A. ]. Balfour. British sec
retary Of state for foreign affairs,
said that this would be abandoned
and that the digest would from that
point on be presented in French only.
Reservations presented raises the ques-
ton whether they will be maintained in
signing the treaty by the nations making
them and whether the conference will
permit signatures with reservations.
While this contingency is being discussed
the reservations are not expected to in
terfere with the procedure Of presenting
the treaty to the Germans.
More Admitted to Congress.
1t was decided late today that the fol-
lowing delegations, which were to be ex-
cluded, will be admitted to the congress
at Versailles tomorrow when the peace
terms are handed to the Germans
China, Siam, Cuba, Guatemala, Mica
! ragua, Haiti. Panama, Liberia and Hon
duras.
The credentials Of the Italian dele
gates to the peace congress were handed
this morning to the German plenipoten-
tiaries at Versailles. This official an
nouncement was made this evening.

Cecil at the ministry Of commerce.

ing to sign the peace treaty:
The council considered plans which

man delegates should refuse to sign

and submit for the approval Of the
council of foreign ministers a plan of

The Y MICA. War Work Council has

100000 cigars, to be sold at Quarter
masters prices, to supply the estimated

The end of the fighting has increased
the popularity of the service rendered by
the ''Y' overseas. and the indicated de-

great welfare organization.
The average mind at first glance
hardly grasps what 70.000000 cigarettes
really means. 1t means that our boys
will smoke on an average OF 2'bOo,0Oo
cigarettes a day during January.
But unless one is statticaly inclined,

2l0 600 600 inches.
These 10000 600 cFaretts If placed end
to end would reach either from New York
to Berlin as stated above or from Forbes
Field in Pittshurg to one of the gaily
LIGHT cafes of Paris.
The estimated distance from Pittsburg
to Paris equals the distance Of 1913 miles
that would be covered by the 1000, 600

WVECTUS
BY William Ernest Henley

Out Of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
thank whatever gods may be
For my uncomfortable soul
In the fell clutch Of circumstance
/ have not WINGED nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings Of chance
MY head is bloody, but unboWed.
Beyond this place OF wrath and tears
Looms but the horror Of the shade,
and yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
How charged with punishments the
scroll,
am the master Of my fate
[ am the captain OF my soul.
