In another letter, written about that
time and referring to the submarine
question, the Admiral said the whole
Won Pohl proclamation of February
was superfluous. He then said:
I'VE should have let the application
Of U-boats develop itself, ever a little
stronger, letting it increase according
to our strength. A great change of
orders wouldn't have been necessary

stead there was fanfare of threats,
with great excitement, and with Eng

On March ., 1917, Admiral Won
Tlrpitz told of conference with DR..

"As we started on February 4 with

On March 20 Admiral Won Trpitz

comments: "Ralkenhayn says he can

On the next day the Admiral wrote:

o'clock, carrying the momentous
documents in two parcels wrapped
in prosaic brown paper. He was
received by Colonel Henry, master
of ceremonies at Versailles, and
officers of the Allied missions and
conducted to the reading room of
the hotel reservoirs.
Germans Get Treaty
And Sign Receipt
Here the party was grouped along
one side of the room. In front of
M. Dutasta was large marble
topped table, upon which the docu-
ments were placed in two piles.
There was considerable wait be-
fore Legation Secretary Simon and
Baron Won Loersner arrived, es-
corted by two French officers. The
Germans took their place at the
other side of the table.
At 6:49 o'clock Herr Simon in
formally reached across the table
and took the documents and handed
them to Baron Won Loersner, this
actually constituting the formal re-
ceipt of the treaty and the ultima
tum. A receipt from the Germans
for the document was required by
M. Dutasta.
After the brief conversation be-
tween M. Dutasta and Herr Simon
the Germans returned to their
apartment in the hotel, Won Loers-
ner carrying the documents under
his arm in a green portfolio. Later
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau
boarded train for Weimar, taking
the documents with him. A staff of
seventy accompanied him.
Protest Time Limit,
And Gain Extension
The intercourse between the two
groups was rather confused. No
provision for an interpreter had
been made. Secretary Dutasta spoke
in French, and Herr Simon replied
in German. Neither Of the prin-
cipals APPARENTLY was aware of just
what the other said. So it seemed
fortunate that the details as to the
period allowed and the nature of the
reply expected were indicated clear
ly in the covering letter.
The Germans plainly intimatcd
their intention to demand an ex-
tension of time. On receiving the
treaty, Herr Simon said
Il must observe, on behalf of my
government, that the time allowed
in which to answer is rather short"
Secretary Dutasta replied that he
would transmit this observation to
the Allied governments. The grant
ing of two additional days followed.

U-The Basis OF Peace

The Allied and associated pow
ers, therefore, believe that the peace
they have proposed is fundamentally
peace of justice. They are no
less certain that it is a peace of
right on the terms agreed. There
can be no doubt as to the intentions
of the Allied and associated pow
ers to base the settlement of Eu-
rope on the principle of freeing
oppressed peoples and redrawing ma
tional boundaries as far as possible
in accordance with the will of the
peoples concerned, while giving to
each the facilities for living an
Independent national and economic
life. These intentions were made
clear not only in President Wilson's
address to the Congress of January
8, 1918, but in "the principles of
settlement enunciated in his subse-
quent addresses" which were the
agreed basis of the peace A men,
orandum on this point is attached
to this letter.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-17

before the war, the German people
and their representatives supported
the war, voted the credits, sub
scribed to the war loans, obeyed
every order, however savage, of their
government. They shared the re-
sponsibility for the policy Of their
government, for at any moment, had
they willed it, they could have re-
versed it. Had that policy succeeded
they would have acclaimed it with
the same enthusiasm with which
they welcomed the outbreak of the
war. They cannot now pretend, hav-
ing changed their rulers after the
war was lost, that it is justice that
they should escape the consequences
of their deeds.

OF "Creaiest Crime"

Of the German legation secretary,

with whom NJ. Dutasta held q con-
versation lasting several minutes,
in which he explained the nature of
the instrument and the length of

the short time allotted Germany to
make known her intentions.

Germany to Suffer
BY Her Own Acts

If these things are iardships for
Germany they are hardships which
Germany has brought upon herself.
Somebody must suffer for the con-
sequences Of the. war. Is it to be
Germany or the peoples she has
wronged?
Not to do justice to all concerned
would only leave the world open to
fresh calamities. If the German peo-
pie themselves, or any other nation,
are to be deferred from following
the footsteps of Prussia, if mankind
is to be lifted out Of the belief that
war for selfish ends is legitimate
to any state, if the old era is to be
left behind and nations as we'll as
individuals are to be brought be-
meath the reign Of law even if there
is to be early reconciliation and ap-
peasement, it will be because those
responsible for concluding the war
have had the courage to see that JUS
tice is not DETECTED for the sake of
convenient peace.
1t is said that the German revolu-
tion ought to make difference, and
that the German people are not re-
sponsible for the policy of the rulers
whom they have thrown from power.
The Allied and associated powers
recognize and welcome the change
1t represents a great hope for peace
and a new European order in the
future. But it cannot affect the set
tlement of the war itself.
The German revolution was stayed
until the German armies had been
defeated in the field and all hope of
profting by war of conquest had
vanished. Throughout the war, as

Counter Proposals
Conflict With Justice

The German counter proposals en-
tirely conflict with the agreed basis
of peace. They provide that great
maJorlties Of indisputably Polish
population shall be kept under Ger
man rule. They deny secure access
to the sea to a nation of over twenty
million people, whose nationals are
IN the majority all the way to the
coast, in order to maintain terri
toral connection between East and
West Prussia, whose trade has al
ways been mainly sea borne. Thew
cannot, therefore, be accepted by the
Allied and associated powers. At the
same time, in certain cases the Ger
man note has established case for
rectliication which will be made, and
IN view of the contention that Up
per Silesia, though inhabited bv q
twc-to-one majority of Poles N.65O.-
600 to 650,000, 1910 German census).
wishes to remain part of Germany.
they are willing that the question of
whether Or not Upper Silesia shall
form part of Germany or of Poland
should be determined by the vote of
the inhabitants themselves.
In regard to the Saar Basin. the
regime proposed by the Allied and
associated powers is to continue for
fifteen years. This arrangement thew
considered necessary both to the
general scheme for reparation and
IN order that France may have i'm
mediate and certain compensation
for the wanton destruction of her
northern coal mines. The district
has been transferred, not TO French
sovereignty, but to the control of
the society of the league of nations.
This method has the double ad
vantage that it involves no annexa-
ton, while it gives possession of
the coal field to France and main
tains the economic unity of the dis
trict, so important to the interest of
the inhabitants. At the end of
fifteen years the mixed popu-
lation, which, in the mean
while, will have had control
of its own local affairs under the gov
erning supervision of the league of
nations, will have complete freedom
to decide whether it wishes union with
Germany, union with France, or the

said that force, and force alone,

peace shall reign in the affairs Of
men, whether right as America
conceives it or dominion as she
conceives it shall determine the
destinies of mankind. There is,
therefore, but one response possible

International Crime
Must Be Punished

1t was set forth clearly in a
speech Of the Prime Minister of
Great Britain, dated December IL,
1917: "There is no security in
any land without certainty of
punishment. There is no protec-
tion for life, property or money
in state where the criminal is
more powerful than the law. The
law of nations is no exception, and
until it has been vindicated the
peace of the world will always
be at the mercy of any nation
whose professors have assiduously
taught it to believe that no crime
is wrong so long as it leads to
the aggrandizement and enrich
ment of the country to which they
owe allegiance. There have been
many examples of this story Of
world criminal states. We are
dealing with one of them now.
There will always be criminal
states until the reward of inter
national crime becomes too pre-
carious to make it profitable and
the punishment Of international
crime becomes too sure to make it
attractive.
Itwas made clear also in an ad-
dress of M. Clemenceau of Septem-
Der, 1918:
"What do they (the French SOL
diers) want? What do we our
selves want? To fight, to fight
VIGOROUSLY and INCREASINGLY, until
the hour when the enemy shall un-
derstand that no compromise is
possible between such crime and
'justice.'
Similarly, signor Orlando, speak
ing on October 3, 1918, declared:
I'VE shall obtain peace when our
enemies recognize that humanity
has the right and duty to safe
guard itself against continuance
OF such causes as have brought
about this terrible slaughter; and
that the blood Of millions of men
calls not for vengeance, but for
the realization of those high ideals
for which it has been so generously
shed. Nobody thinks of employing
even by way Of legitimate retail
ation-methods of brutal violence
or of overbearing domination or of
sutfocation Of the freedom Of any
people-methods and policies which
made the whole world rise against
the Central Powers. But nobody
will contend that the. moral order
can be restored simply because he
who awaits in his iniquitous en-
deavor declares that he has re-
nounced his aim. Questions init
mately affecting the peaceful life
OF nations, once raised, must OBJ

most earnest consideration to the

reply protests against the peace on
the grounds that it conflicts with the
terms upon which the armistice of
