Protest Against Responsibility For
War and Against Giving Up Ger
man Citizens For Trial.

lor Bauer had promoted Dr.. Haniel
Won Haimhausen from secretary to
president of the German peace dele
cation, giving him full power to COM
plete negotiations and sign the treaty
Won Haimhausen is in Versailles.
Paris, June 23.-The allies prompt
ly refused request fer a 4S-hour
extension of the time limit for ac-
ceptarce for the peace treaty, recciv-
ed from the Germans this morning.
THE seven-day time limit expires
at { o'clock this evening" p. M.
New York time.)
Previously the allies had received
note from Gustav Adolph Bauer,
the new German chancellor, saying
Germany would sign the treaty be-
cause she is forced to do so, but max
ing certain reservations.
To this note the allies replied that
tie time for discussion had passed and
that Germany must accept the terms
without qualification or reservation.
Weimar, June 23.-The German
National Assembly, by vote of 237
to 1873, yesterday decided to sign the
peace terms The vote was taken al
) O'Clock in the afternoon.
The action of the assembly makes
lit probable that the treaty will be
formally signed either today or to-
morrow. 1t is now only question of
the time it win take to transport the
German delegates who will affix their
signatures TO the pact.
The Bauer government is sending
note to the allies declaring that
Germany accepts the treaty of peace
but protests against fixing the re-
spons;biity for the war upon Ger
mary and also protests against Civ
ing up German citizens for trial.
Ten minutes after voting for ac-
ceptance of the peace terms, tn"
National Assembly voted it's con-
fidence in the cabinet, the vote be
ing: Yes 236; no 80; noncommital, 6S.
One hundred and twenty delegates

The new ministry is expected &c
send new peace delegation to Yer
sailles at. once to sign the pact.
The head of this delegation Will be
DR.. Hermann Mueller, the majority
socialist leader, who is foreign min
lister in the new government. Count
Won Bernstorff, who had been slated
for this post, was found to hold mucf
the same views as his cousin, Count
Won Brockdorff- RantZau. Besides, i
was deemed unwise to send him tt
Versailles in view Of the antagonism
against him in American and allied
peace quarters.
The democrats were refused repre-
sentation in the new government
which is composed, therefore, on!!
of socialists and centrists.

But as yet there was to be no
quiet for me, for there found Cap
tain Robertson, who, think, had
been refreshing himself out OF
bottle and was in a great state OF
excitement about a man who had
been killed and another whose leg
was broken. He declared vehem-
emily that the hippopotamus that
had done this had been wounded
and rushed into some bushes few
hundred yards away, and that he
meant to take vengeance upon 1t.
Seeing his agitated state |
thought it wisest to follow him. He
found that +, hippopotamus and
blazed both barrels at it in the
bushes, hitting it but not seriously.
Out numbered the creature with its
mouth open. Robertson turned to
fly, tripped and fell. Certainly he
would have been crushed beneath

eight-bore bullets down that yawn-
ing throat, killing it dead within
three feet of where Robertson was
trying to rise.

gratitude was profuse.
"You are a brave man." he said.
"and had 1t not been for you by

Then the rest fell on her and
tied her up, setting her in a chair
on the stoep, where two remained
to watch her. They did her no
hurt, Baas; ind ed, they seemed to
treat her as gently as they could.
Also. they went into the house and
there they caught that tall yellow
girl called Janee, she who waits Nd
on the Lady Sad-Eyes, and brought
her out. l think they told her that
she must look after her mistress,

Then. Baas, most of the great

them went through the store gath

from the pile and lit big fires, and
when the sun set they began to

What did they feast on, Hans,
II they took no cattle?" asked with
a shiver, for was afraid OF know
not what.
"Baas,' answered Hans turning
MS head away and looking at the
ground, they feasted on the chill
