HUN PROTESTS
FAIL TO MAKE
HIT IN PARIS

NEW YORK, May l6-Repors :
which have reached this city from
the French capital indicate that the
Allied peacemakers arr" not taking
the German protests against the
peace terms seriously The OBJ
jections thus far advanced by the
Huns are said to have impressed
the Allied delegates unfavorably,
the protests having much the ap-
pearance Of German propaganda,
prepared long before the Germans
saw the treaty.
The information coming from
Paris, although unofficial, indicates
that it is the intention of the Allies
to insist upon the acceptance of
the terms as presented to the Ger
mans, and it seems equally certain
that the German delegates will sign
the treaty when it is made clear
to them that the Allies have no in
tention of giving consideration to
protests or counter proposals.

BIG Filler LOST

ST. JOHNS, May 16.-At a late
hour this afternoon, the destroyer
which was sent in search of the
missing dirigible returned to port
and announced that it had been
found impossible to locate the miss
ing flier. The merchant ship which
discovered the dirigible last night
and wirelessed for assistance, was
compelled to abandon the runaway
at an early hour this morning, and
reported to the destroyer that the
big air boat was apparently unin-
jured at the time the merchant ship
left.
The destroyer spent several hours
in the vicinity of the spot where
the dirigible was abandoned, but
could find no trace OF her.

city today, a large Finnish army is
