PARIS, June 19.-The French gave
out news to-day emanating from Wei
mar that Matthias Erzberger is prepar
ing to form a new government, which
will sign the treaty in case the present
government refuses to do so.
The French government is much en-
couraged over the satisfactory develop
ment of internal affairs, which assures
Clemenceau and Foch solid front in
case of a renewal of hostilties, and be-
lleves this will help to convince the
Germans that they must sign. The
coal miners strike, which was left to
arbitration, is considered settled. and
there is no longer danger of further
labor troubles.
The Interpolation of NJ. Pichon. Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, in the Cham
per OF Deputies, on the Russian po.icv.
resulted in a marked victory for Gle
menceau, leaving him free to pursue q
vigorous policy against the Bolsheviki.
Another factor giving the French con-
ndence is the general relief and salts
faction over the final completion of tho
treaty without any important conces-
SONS, which, owing to the secrecy of
the council of four many feared would
be granted.

Matthias Erzberger, head of the .armis
tlce commission; Gustav Noske, Minis
ter of Defence; Herr Wisseh. Minister
OF Economies; Herr Schmidt Food Min
lster, and Herr Bauer, Minister of
Labor, all are in favor of signing the
peace treaty, while 90 per cent of the
Majority Socialists, rs per cent of the
Clericals, 80 per cent of the Democrats
and the entire Independent fcction are
ready to yield.
The correspondent predicts that the
Cabinet will resign, and says Count
Won Bernstorff, former Ambassador to
the United States, is likely to succeed
Count Won Brockdortf -Rantzau as en-
voy to Versailles.
IT the German National Assembly
orders plebiscite on the peace treaty
Saturday the voting will have to be
done so the German answer can reach
the Allies in Paris by 6:49 p. m. Mon
day, Paris time, unless the Germans
should request, and the Allies grant a
further extension of time in which TO
answer the amended peace treaty.
Late in April it was reported that
the German government had all ap-
purtenances for an election in readi-
ness for a plebiscite on the peace
terms. At that time sources close to
the German government claimed that
such an election could be completed
throughout Germany in forty-eieht
hours.

In addressing Mr.. Wilson Mr. Huys-

friendship for Belgium which we're
given him when he visited the United
States during the first few months of
commission which inquired into Ger
man atrocities.
"Since them" he said, "Americans
have proved their sentiments toward
our country by acts of generosity, es-
pecially by the establishment of the
Belgian Relief Commission"
M. Huysmans paid tribute to Her
bert Hoover, who acted as chairman Of
the Relief Commission; Brand Whit
lock, American Minister to Belgium.
the American press and American
women.
"The result of these efforts of Amer
leans" he continued, "was that the
Belgian cause became the symbol of
right. 1t won such partisans of weight
as Cardinal Gibbons, DR.. Charles w.
Eliot, President Emeritus of Harvard
University; Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation Of Labor,
and Theodore Roosevelt. Finally, the
American army, crusading to Europe.

German Delegates
One Against Pact

BERLIN, Jrre 18 (Dy The Associated
Press).-The German peace delegation
is one in backing UP Count Won Brock
dorif- -Rantzau in his opposition to sign
ing the peace conditions. according to
the correspondents of Berlin news
papers at Weimar
A memorial prepared by the dele
gates on the train from Versailles de-
mands rejection OF the terms. The
"hostlle" tenor cf the reply, it is ar
gued IN the memorial, simplities such
action, and it is said unless Count Won
broc -Rantzau succeeds in per-
suadlng the Cabinet to his view he and
the entire delegation will withdraw and
ne will resign from the Cabinet as For
eign Minister.
"A large number of the less important
members of the delegation which ac-
companled the Foreign Minister 20 Yer
sallies have. returned to Berlin and are
conterring with the experts who have
peen IN consultation with Count Won
Bernstorff's peace bureau during the
last few months. They have ORGANIZED
INTO subcommittee and are making a
.horough canvass of all the economic
issues involved in the altered terms. A
comprehensive report will then be sub
mitted to the Cabinet.
The correspondent of the "Lokal An
zelger' declares President Ebert and
Premier Scheidemann would rather re-
tire than affix their signatures to the
treaty. The "Neue Zeitung" CORE
spondent telegraphs that Professor
Schuecking, one of the principal Ger
man delegates, was impatient at the
mere suggestion that the question of
signing is still debatable topic.
The memorial drawn up by the dele
gates on the way from Versailles goes
into all details of the situation which
would result from not signing and
comes to the conclusion that these e.
1ects would not be as bad as those
that would result from yielding. The
memorial further says that invasion
and occupation by the Allied forces
would be bound to have an instantan-
eous effect in quckening the national
spirit
Die Freiheit" and the "vossische
Zeitung' are the only Berlin newspan-
ers which favor the signing of the
peace treaty. "Die Frciheit," organ of
the Independent Socialists, warns the
government against continuing It's pol
icy of provocation or flirting with the
idea of military dictatorship. 1t
declares the Independents disclaim all
responsibility for the results at home
and abroad which might grow out of a
refusal to sign.
The only comment of the Pan Ger
man "Deutsche Zeitung" is: "Let them

BRUSSELS, June 19.-Thrcugh a
hundred miles of land grayed by the
ashes Of war, King Albert led President +
Wilson yesterday.
The King and Queen of the Belgians
met the train bearing the President
and Mrs. Wilson at Adinkerke, a little
station on the Belgian frontier. after
which the two rulers in an automobile.
followed by the Queen and Mrs. Wilson,
led procession of twenty cars through
Nieuport and Vyse to Dixmude, there
visiting the point where for four years
the German and Belgian lines were
only nine yards apart. Then the journey
continued through Clercken to Piocap
pelle forest, whittier an auto truck
from the Brussels palace had carried
materials for a luncheon. Then the
party proceeded to Ypres, where. be-
fore the Jagged ruins of the city hall
and the cathedral, the aged mayor told
the President a tragic story of the war.
The travellers resumed their trip by
way OF Menin Roulers and Thourout to
Ostend, and finally to Zeebrugge, where
the British port commander, Captain
Evans, of North Pole fame, showed the
sunken ships testifying to the famous
British naval feat.
Small groups in doorways along the
route cheered, and then, as the visi-
tors neared the regions which had been
little touched by war, the crowds grew
until at Thourout, Ostend and Zee
brugge the open spaces. were black
with people. Municipal authorities
made ceremopious salutatons, and
hundreds of Belgian and American
flags f1uttered in the sunshine.

Paris.
An airplane left the airdrome at Buc.

Advfces received in American peace
conference circles in Paris from Wei

tension of the time limit for signing
the peace treaty may be requested by
the Germans, but that the Germans

Hymans Expresses
Belgium's Gratitude

With King Albert, the President en-
tered the Chamber of Deputies to the
minute fixed, while Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Margaret Wilson and the Queen were
escorted to their seats. The hall was
filled, every members seat being taken,
and the galleries were crowded with
men and women, at least third of the
women still wearing mourning. The
scene was rlieved, howevr, by the
large number of modish gowns.
The President, with the King, was
seated on the floor of the house. dj-
rectly in front of the speaker. The
Queen and Mrs. Wilson occupied places
to the speakers left.
The Belgian Minister of FOREIGN
Affairs, Paul Hymans, expressed graft
tude at the part America played in the
war. He referred specifically to the
work done by Herbert Hoover, who was
present and was forced to arise and

More than once the President, and
even Mrs. Wilson, were obliged to bow

President Praises
Belgian Rulers

In his address during the luncheon
at the American Legation, President
Wilson said:
II want to express my pleasure not
only to be in Belgium, but to be per-
sonally associated with the King and
Queen. We have found them what all
the world has told us that they were
perfectly genuine, perfectly delight
full and perfectly devoted to the inter-
ests of the people, and not only so, but
what is very rare just now, very Just
in their judgments of the events of the
past and of the events that are now
taking place.
~ could not help expressing the
opinion which I did yesterday that this
must arise from the fact that thew
had intimately associated themselves
in life with their people If you live
with the takers you get an impressions;
if you live with the doers you get an
other impression; you come into con-
tact with the realities, and only reali-
ties make you wise and Just.

President Wilson Is
Warmly Applauded

Inc audience appeared more curious
than anything else when the President
began to speak and the first applause
was perhaps somewhat perfunctory.
But as he proceeded and as he made
plain that the Belgians were not re-
garded as objects Of charity apprecia-
tion reached a climax, expressed in
warm and hearty applause.
At the conclusion of his address the
whole chamber rose and gave the
president an ovation. The guests we're
conducted later through the historic
rooms, including the Senate chamber.
where the English nurse, Edith Cavell.
was tried and sentenced by the Ger
mans.
Before leaving, the President signed
the Gold Book" at $3.50 the presiden-
tlal and royal party, amid renewed an
plause, took automobiles for Malines.
where the President will visit Cardi-
nal MERCER.
On the arrival and departure of the
President, Belgian bands played "The
Star-Spangled Banner" The opening
of the session was picture unusual to
Americans. Color guards stationed in
tne chamber advanced on signal to the
platform behind the Speakers chair
and there grounded their standards
and remained at attention Throughout
the ceremony
Wherever the President and his
party moved throughout the city. it
was the signal for huge crowds to
gather, children especially. When the
party left for the front, hundreds of
youngsters, mostly girls, gathered be-
lore the palace so densely as almost
to halt the cars.
