Berlin, May 31-Germany is will
ling to agree to the proposed stipu-
lations regarding her military, aerial
and naval forces contained in the
draft of the peace treaty, provided
she is permitted to enter the League
of Nations on an equal footing i'm
mediately upon the signing of peace
and particularly that she be permit
ted to shade in the complete equal
ity and reciprocity of all nations in
the economic domain.
This declaration is contained in the
second section of the German memo
randum embodying the counter propo-
sails to the peace terms. At the same
time, it is declared, the German dele
cation adheres to it's idea of the SUI
perority of it's own draft of propos-
ais for a league of nations.
While the German government, in
agreeing to accept the stipulations re-
ferred to, is thus ready to disarm be-
fore the other powers, the memoran-
dunn adds, the government, on the
other hand, in the transitional period
would keep troops necessary for the
maintenance of internal order
The covering" note presented to
the Peace Conference by the German
delegation says:
1--WE came to Versailles expecting
to receive peace proposal framed
according to the agreed basis. We
had firm resolve to do everything
in our power to fulfill the heavy OBJ
legations assumed by us. We were
shocked when we read in that docu-
ment the demand which the victori-
Gus might of our opponents had set
forth. The more we studied the spirit
of the treaty, the more We're were
convinced of the impossibility of car
rying it out. The demands in this
treaty go beyond the strength of the
German people.
The belief that Germany will sign
anyhow" notwithstanding the express
sions of her leaders, is based wholly
upon false Interpretation of the
facts, the Tageblatt says. The Tage-
blatt expresses the hope that the AL
lied leaders I'M Paris will gauge the
situation more correctly than the ut
terance of the Allied press would in
dcate. Any inclination to disregard
the German county-proposals, failure
to take them serious or refuse to ne
gotiate, it says, would be found upon
the inability of the Allies to realize
the actual conditions.

In Rome. under the Emperor Augustus,
law was passed forbidding men to
marry when they were over 60. and
