DENMARK IS NOT
 ANXIOUS ID GET GERMAN CITIZENS
Parliament Adopts ResOlu- tion Objecting to Plan for Encouragement of
 Frontiers
By Associated Press

Washington, May 13-Denmark looks with apprehension upon the ac- quiring of a large number of German citizens through the encouragement of the German-Dansh frontier by the peace treaty.
 The Danish legation today re- ceived the following cablegram from Copenhagen:
 Both chambers of the Danish Parli- ament yesterday in joint confidential sitting discussed the situation created by the peace conditions about Slesvig. The following resolution was adopted by majority consisting of the left party, the radical party, socialists and Professor Birck of the conservative party:
 While the Danish Parliament ex- presses it's satisfaction at the pros pect of the coming peace to bring the fulfillment of the national hopes of the Danish people, it insists upon it's resolution of October 23, 1918, and the wishes expressed toward the allied and associated powers in Paris with regard to the vote zone in Slesvig by the par liamentary delegation representing all parties and by the representatives of
 the Danish Electors association in Slesvig."
 By the decision of the Paris con- ference. expressed through the council
 of 1t, provision was made for right
 ing the wrong done by Germany to
 Denmark nearly three quarters of a
 century ago in seizing the provinces of
 Schleswig- Holstein. In view of the
 great changes that have taken place in
 the population of those provinces, he W
 ever, the council provided for a di-
 vision of the former Danish provinces
 into three separate zones in which
 plebiscites were to be taken at diff
 fereHt periods to determine the wishes
 of the Reople as to sovereignty.
 In Danish circles here it was ex-
 plained today that although the south-
 ern zone nearest Germany probably
 had become almost entirely German
 ized. the population probably would
 vote to adhere to Denmark to escape German taxation and Denmark would
 thereby have as a portion of her popu-
 lation people not bound by ties of love
 but by eXpediency

APPRECIATIVE OF
 FINE DECORATIONS

"I wish you would thank the peo pie of Birmingham for their earnest and enthusiastic cooperation with my committee in decorating the city in honor of the homecoming of the 167th regiment" said Joe K. Saks, chairman of the decoration committee.
 Especially do l wish to thank the downtown business men and the resi- dents of Highland avenue. I do not remember to before have seen the city so generally decorated. The display of flags and bunting was beautiful, indeed. and included the entire line of parade and sections of the city likely to be visited by the returning boys.
 T realize the profuse and general decoration of the city was made pos sibls only by the full cooperation of our citizenship and especially by the ladies, and for their untiring efforts I want. as chairman of the decoration committee, to extend my profound thanks"

TO RECORD CONDITIONS

The planes will carry regulation ships logs and the flight is expected to con- tribute important data to aeronautics as conditions encountered on the various legs of the voyage will be entered at regular intervals.
 The guardship flotilla commander here has received orders from Washington to keep the destroyers stationed along the coast legs of the flight in position for the NC-4, which is awaiting favor able weather at Chatham, Mass, to re- join the other planes here.
 Capt. Arthur Grenshaw, commander of the Trepassey base, today gave a din- ner to the American correspondents here who recently entertained him aboard the railroad car serving as their hotel and which they have christened the NC-5. The destroyer Edwards is due tomor- row with dozen seaplane propellers. It is understood she will continue to St. Johns with a dirigible balloon engine, presumably for the big "blimp'' C-5.
 Lieutenant-C Commander Bellinger con- manding the NC-1, expects young fox tomorrow from St. Johns, which he plans to take with him on the transatlantic flight as mascot.

By Assoctated Fress
 St. Germain- n-en-Lae, May 15.-Ihe arrangements for the reception of the Austrian delegates tomorrow evening for their accommodation in the quaint suburban residence of the carry French kings and the presentation to them Of the conditions of peace which are to be a duplication in many respects of those handed the Germans at Versailles are now completed.
 It is evident that the Austrians are to be treated less as enemies and sub ject to less restrictions than their Ger man allies. They will be received on their arrival at St. Germain by Prefect Cha1eel of the department of Seine-et- Disc as the representative of the French government and will be en- trusted to the charge of the interallied military mission under the French Col onel Henry, on which Major Tyler rep resents the United States
 The Italians will play a far more prominent role in the reception of the Austrians and the presentation of terms than in the case or the Germans. The Italian colonel ranking with Colonel Henry and above the other interallied representatives has been delegated for the military mission and the Italian plenipotentiaries probably will be given seats at the head of the table for the
 
 tials.
 The museum of the chateau. contain ing relics of prehistoric times, which. by unpremeditated irony, has been se- lectec for the ceremony of turning over to the delegates of the peace treaty, is now ready
 The room is much smaller than that at Versailles, where the Germans were informed of the demands of the allied and associated governments and the conference tables which are arran ged in exactly the same form of hollow rec tangles crowds it to the limit Not withstanding the overcrowded condi- tion of the room, space again has been reserved for selected representatives of the press.
 The Austrian delegates could reach St. Germain early in the afternoon but in oreer to avoid too public entry into the town the special train on which they are travelling will be rout- ed so as to arrive in the evening at some small station outside St Germain. From this station the delegates will be brought in automobiles as incon- spicuously as possible to the quarters reserved for them in two hotels and three private villas.
 The intention to quarter the Turks and Bulgarians in St. Germain on thoir arrival here has been abandoned, ow- ing to lack of accommodations
 They probably will be located in Meudon, southwest of Paris.

Trepassey. N. F., May 13.-While Com mander John H. Towers, in command of the United States navy's transatlantic flight, declined to state whether the big seaplanes would "hop off tomorrow on the leg of their voyage to the Azores, reports today from the guardships stretched along the ocean course indi- cated that favorable weather conditions would prevail
 Flight officers have warned news paper correspondents here that when the decision to start is reached the machines may get under way with little notice, but it was learned that one indication of an impending start would be the mooring of the NC-1 to the stern Of the supply ship Prairie and the NC-S to that of the

her cables have been taken from her and her wireless stations can send only commercial telegrams and then only un- der control of the allies. This would sep- arate us from the outer world, for what
 business can be done under the control of competitors need not to be described ''But this is far from enough. The council, therefore, determines treaties be-
 tween enemy countries to be null and void, except such treaties whose execu- tion is in favor of a government of the allied powers.
 What does President Wilson so aptly say? That the first principle of peace
 itself is equality, equal participation in
 common benefits
 Herr Scheidemann then argued that this
 principle had been abrogated in the peace
 terms.

 It will be unknown here until the planes start where they actually will take the air. If the weather is rough in the outer bay they will take off in the harbor, as the waves outside might slave in their hulls. A fairly stiff wind is needed. however, to lift the heavily laden
