 (Signed). Brockdorf-Rantzau
 No Back Talk, Allied Stand To the letter the following reply was made by the allied and associated powers:
 "The representatives of the allied and associated powers have received the statement of objections of the German plenipotentiaries to the draft conditions of peace.
 "ln reply they wish to remind the German delegation that they have formulated the terms of the treaty with constant thought of the principles on which the armis- tice and the negotiations for peace were proposed. They can admit no discussion of their right to in- sist on the terms of the peace substantially as drafted. They can sonsider only such practical suggestions as the German pIeni- potentiaries may have to submit" The second letter from the German representatives reads: 5s @f ''The German peace delegation has
  the honor to pronounce its attitude on the question of the league of nations by herewith transmitting a German program, which, in the opinion of the delegation, contains important sug- gestions on the league of nations problem.
 Want Invitation to League
 "The German peace delegation re- serves for itself the liberty of stating it's opoinion on the draft of the allied and associated governments in detail. In the meantime, it begs to call att tention to the discrepancy lying in the fact that Germany is called on to sign the statute of the league of na- tions as an inherent part of the treaty draft handed to us, and, on the other hand, is not mentioned among the

 $1OO,OOO Fire

DOUGLAS, May 1o.-Many thousands of dollars worth of per sonal belongings and fireplace able keepsakes of officers now stationed here and rot a few who are with the army in France, were burned here tonight when the clothing storehouse of the quartermaster department, u. s. A, burned with an estimated loss of $100,ooo. Army property val ued at half a million was endanq- cred. Among the heavy losers was Brigadier General Howard Hickok, commanding the Arizona district, most of whose belongings were stored in the building. The origin of the fire is unknown.
 The warehouse was completed recently at cost of $12,OOo dol lars. It's contents ranged from a cambric needle to combat wagon but consisted chiefly of clothing and blankets.

S55O,OOO TOTAL OF SOLD HERE
Bisbee Fails to Reach Its Quota but Splendid
 Showing Made

Incomplete returns up to midnight last night received by Chairman Gaines at loan headquarters showed that Bisbee would reach the $55O, 900 mark, just $25O,OOO below the quota of $SOO,OOO
 Although the loan dragged along and. at times it appeared that the mark would fall below $5OO,O0O sub scriptions took a brace during the eleventh hour and the results have been gratifying to local headquarters.
 Early last night a message from Wilcox told of that little city going over the top during the last day of the drive. Telephone reports from Douglas showed that the smelter city had failed to reach its quota, falling nearly $200,000 below it's mark
 Chairman Gaines stuck by his guns until midnight last night and all dur ing the evening steady stream of patriots filed in and out of headquar- ters bringing unsolicited subscrip- tions. Some of the subscriptions were for large amounts, but a greater num- Der of them came from workmen and although not large were in accord ance with their means and a true ex- hibition of patriotism.
 During the day the largest single subscription came from Col. J. c. Greenway from St. Louis. Chairman Gaines had wired the colonel at the soldiers and sailors convention at St. Louis, telling him of the apparent fail, ure of Risbee to reach her quota. In a few hours the colonel wired back telling MT. Gaines to put hind own for $1O,OOO.
 The fine loan spirit manifested by two citizens of Warren during the day was typical of many other such cases. Barney Williams walked into headquarters and stated that he had not been solicited and had come to do his duty. MT. Williams stated he had one son in the navy and two in the army and that he was anxious to get them back to him and he was willing to pay his part of the expenses in- cidental to bringing them back
 Later on Charles w. Smith, a cob bier of Warren, hunted up Mrs. Juliff and said that he had not been solicit ed, but that he desired to do his bit. MT. Smith has three sons in the army and is maintaining large family, but he subscribed $50 to the Victory loan and has a clear record for every loan that has been asked. MT Smith said that when his boys came back he wanted to be able to look them in the eyes with a knowledge that while they were away making the world safe for democracy he too had done his part, even though it was a hum ble one, and only loan to the gov ernment that would come back to him with interest and the thanks of the American people and the government.

By Review Leased wlrel

PARIS, Mays1O.-The German peace delegation declares in letters sent to the allied and associated powers that on essential points the basis of the peace of right agreed upon between the belligerents has been abandoned.
 Two letters have been sent to the allies, to which Seplies ihave been made. The first letter reads as fol- lows:,
 The German peace delegation has finished the first perusal of the peace conditions which have been handed over to them. They have had to real ize that on essential points the basis of the peace of right agreed upon be- tween the belligerents has been abandoned
 Say "Promise to Mankind" Evaded
 "They were not prepared to find that the promise explicitly given to the German people and the whole of mankind, is in this way to be rendered illusory
 "The draft of the treaty contains demands which no nation could en- dure. Moreover, our experts hold that may of them could not possibly be carried out.
 The German peace delegation will substantiate these statements in de- tail and transmit to the allied and as-

about $2OO,OOO,OOO above it's quota. Messages from Boston and Philadel- phia district headquarters said don't worry" The increase in subscrip- tions today over the total last night was $534, ,76S,0O0 The feature of de- velcpments today was the jump of the Cleveland district in the percentage column from ninth to third place, with an increase of from 53 to more than 100 per cent.
 Boston. Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis and Washington were among the cities which officially obtained their quotas early today. Alaska and Hawaii also made similar records
 This District Has Good Chance
 The Dallas district reported that it probably had so per cent of it's quota and that the outlook was excellent for 100 per cent subscription. Maryland, including Baltimore, passed into the column of 100 per cent states today.
 Storms interrupted communication in the Kansas City district and the districts report for tonight is the same as yesterdays.
