EX-KAISER FEELS SAFE
nv HIS DUTCH RETREAT
He and His Advisors Apparently Believe
That The Netherlands Government
Will Be Unable to Consent to
Entente's Forthcoming De-
mand for Extradition.

Amerongen, Wednesday, June 25 by
the Associated Pressl Former Emperor
William and his advisors apparently are
fully confident The Netherlands govern
ment will be unable to consent to the
entente's Forthcoming demand for his
extradition, which the former emperor's
suite regards as illegal under existing
international law.
Several members of the encourage are
away from Amerongen, engaged in in
specting houses with view TO the pur-
chase Of Count Hohenzollern's future
residence, and indications point to his
removal within short period from his
present place of exile.
The former monarch was himself out
wardly quite calm to-day after the first
shock of hearing that Germany had de-
cided to sign the treaty without reser-
vations His wife, however, appeared to
be deeply saddened NJ the prospect that
it will be impossible for her ever to re-
turn to Germany She remained within
the castle when her husband went, with
DR.. Forester, to resume his morning log
saving and was not seen about the gar
den during the afternoon. As far as
can be learned, the choice of a future
home for C6unt Hohenzollern lies be-
tween two castles, one in the vicinity of
Doom and the other near Arnheim

RAFAEL MARIA
WAS INDICTED
In Connection With Shoot
ing to Death of Joa-
chin Perez

The Washington county special grand
jury, which had been in session only a
day and half in Montpelier, completed
its duties late yesterday afternoon and
returned three true bills of Indictment.
The grand jury was called together for
the purpose of hearing the evidence in
the killing of Joachim Perez at Webster
vile on the evening of June l6, last, but
that purpose did not prevent the jury
from keeping up other cases. 1t is pre-
sumed from the number OF indictments
returned that other cases besides the
Websterville shooting were considered.
Rafael Nara, who committed himself
to arrest in connection with the Web
serville homicide six hours after Perez
fell mortally wounded, has been in Wash
ington county jail ever since that time;
and it is presumed that one Of the in
dictments is against him. What the ma
ture of the charge is has not been re-
vealed as yet.
There is great deal of speculation
over the other two indictments returned
by the grand jury.

WILSON APPEALS TO
THE GERMAN PEOPLE
TO ACCEPT TREATY
In Address Released After the Formal
Signing of the Document He Asked
That Treaty and League Cove
nant Be Accepted With
Change.

Washington, d. c. June IS. President
Wilson, in an address to the American
people on the occasion of the signing Of
the peace treaty, made plea for the ac-
ceptanee of the treaty and the cove
nant of the league of nations, without
change or reservation.
His message, given out here by Secre-
tary Tumulty, said
My fellow countrymen: The treaty
of peace has been signed, If it is ratified
and acted upon in full and sincere exc
cution Of its terms, Il win furnish the
charter for new order of affairs in the
world. 1t Is severe treaty in the duties
and penalties it imposes upon Germany,
but il is severe only because great
wrongs done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; it imposes nothing
that Germany cannot do; and she can re-
gain her rightful standing in the world
by the prompt and honorable fulfllment
of its terms.
And it is much more than a treaty
of peace with Germany. II liberates
great peoples who have never before been
able to find the way to liberty, 1t ends,
once for all, an old and intolerable order
under which small groups of selfish men
could use the peoples Of great empires
to serve their ambition for power and
dominion 1t associates the free govern
ments of the world in a permanent
league in which they are pledged to use
their united power to maintain peace by
maintaining right and Justice. 1t makes
international law a reality supported by
imperative sanctions. 1t does away with
the right of conquest and rejects the poll
icy OF annexation and substitutes new
order under which backward nations
populations which have not vet come to
political consciousness, and peoples who
are ready for independence, but not vet
quite prepared to dispense with protec-
tion and guidance shall no more be sub
lected to the domination and exploita-
tion of stronger nation, but shall be
put under the friendly direction and af-
forded the helpful assistance Of govern
ments which undertake to be responsible
to the opinion of mankind in the expecta-
ton by their task under the direction of
the league of nations.
III recognizes the rights OF national
ity, the rights of minorities, and the
sanctity of religious beliefs and prac-
tices. 1t lays the basis for conventions
which shall free the commercial inter-
course of the world from unjust and
vexatious restrictions and for every sort
of international cooperation that will
serve to cleanse, the life Of the world and
facilitate its common action in benefi
cent service of every kind 1t furnishes
guarantees such as were never given or
even contemplated, for the fair treat
ment of all who labor at the daily tasks
of the world.
at is for this reason that have spok-
en- of it as a new order There is ground
here for deep satisfaction, universal re.
assurance, and confident hope.

BOLSHEVIKI PRESSING
.ONWARD IN SIBERIA
Pushed Between the Opposing Forces and
Succeeded in Turning the Flanks
of the Two Armies.

Omsk, Thursday, June 26 (By the As
sociated Press During the last fort
night the Siberian western army has re-
tired from the Viatka river to the Kama,
approximately 100 miles, before superior
bolshevik forces. The northern army un-
der General Gaida has pushed forward
slightly and occupied the Glazov, holding
the line to the northward, but being un-
able to hold its left flank towards Sara
pul. Ufa is under bombardment from
bolshevik guns.
The bplsheviki massed large forces, in
Guiding 5000 cavalrymen along the ufa-
Samara railroad, outnumbering the 81
berian army by quite large proportion,
The cavalry, taking advantage of the
rapid advance of the western army dur
ing March and April pushed wedge be-
tween it and the northern army, turned
the flanks of the two armies and precipi-
tated their retreat. The western army,
handicapped by lack of rifles, was un-
able to support the advanced elements
sufficiently to-, check the retreat until
the Kama was reached. Thousands of
modified soldiers who had been released
from service had been gathered in the
rear but could not be made available to
meet the situation. Recruits who are
training are being disarmed to supply the
troops at the front with rifles. The need
of small arms is extremely pressing.
There is tremendous exodus of civilians
and peasants, who are fleeing from the
third bolsheviki visitation
The present front runs from Sarapul
to Ufa and thence to Smerlitamak and
0renburg. From there it runs west
along the Ural river.

these apartments were hung with unique
Gobelin tapestries
The route to the peace table for the
plenipotentiaries was through a space re-
served for some 400 privileged guests,
who were instructed to be in their seats
well in advance of the entry of the dele.
gates. 1t has been arranged that the
delegations, instead of struggling in with
out order, as when the original terms of
peace were communicated to the Ger
mans, should enter by groups, each one
being formally announced by ushers from
the French foreign office.
This formally was not prescribed for
the Germans, who were given separate
route OF entry, coming through the park
and gaining the marble stairway through
the ground floor. Thus was avoided oc-
casion for the guard of honor to render
them military honors, these being re-
served for the allied representatives. The
dismounted guardsmen on the marble
staircase and in the queen apartments. +"
however, were instructed to remain in
their places for the entry of the Ger
mans.
| Within the Hall of Mirrors. where the
historical furnishings and paintings gave
tone of impressive state which would
otherwise have been rather lacking in
the assembly of soberly attired dele
gates, " chairs for the plenipotentiaries
were drawn up around three sides of the
table, which formed an open rectangle
| fully so feet in length on its longer
side. A chair for NJ Clemenceau, presi-
dent of the peace conference, was placed
in the center of the long table facing
the windows, with those for President
Wilson and Premier Lloyd George on
the right and left hand, respectively
The German delegates were assigned
seats at the side of the table nearest
the entrance, which they could take aft
er all the others had been seated
This arrangement was made to permit
: the Germans to leave after the sigma
ture of the treaty before the allied del
egations, not waiting for the semi state
procession of allied delegates to the ter.
race from which to witness the playing
of the Versailles fountains before re.
turning to Paris.

SIM0NDS OUT
OF STATE OFFICE
Resigns as Commissioner of
Industries, Effective
July 5
WASN'T REAPPOINTED
BY GOV. CLEMENT
Mr.. Simonds Is Said to Have
Been Offered Two Good
Positions

r. w. Simonds, who has been state
commissioner of industries since 1915,
this morning sent his resignation to
Governor p. w. Clement to be effective
July s. He had expected to complete
be made effective July /, but owing to
the large number of hearings in May and
June and the fact that the physicians
did not get their certificates back to his
Office, some of the work could not be
completed by July !.
There has been a rumor that Governor
Clement had asked him to do some spe-
cial work for the state, but relative to
this Mr.. Simonds declined to discuss the
matter, stating that if there was any
body TO make any statement concerning
such a rumor Governor Clement was the
man to approach. Mr.. Simonds viii
probably take months vacation. He
has not enjoyed vacation in the four
years he has been commissioner, the
last year having been extra hard owing
to the fact that he has represented the
federal government in four different
branches of its industrial activities, in
Guiding the Z. S. public reserve, the
L. $. employment service and boys
working reserve.
Mr.. Simonds would not, this morning,
state where he win associate himself,
but it is known that vice president of
one of the large insurance companies
was here last week to see him regarding
taking the management Of the compen-
sation end of the company's business,
with offices in Boston. He has also been
offered partnership in a law firm in a
neighboring state which is said to be one
of the most promising offers a Vermont
attorney has received in long time,
both of which are the result Of his efforts
rs the commissioner OF industries. The
Insurance company was first here in Feb
ruary on the matter, it is understood,
some weeks before il was known that
Governor Clement was not going to NOM
mate Mr.. Simonds TO succeed himself
There is feeling about the State
House that both Mr. Simonds and
Charles a. Plumley could have remained
on their respective jobs had they cared
to have done so. Mr. Plumley resigned
as state tax commissioner.
