International law has perhaps
sometimes been little too much
thought of in the closet. Interna-
tional law has. (may l say it with
out offense?) been handled too ex-
clusively by lawyers. Lawyers like
definite lines. They like systematic
arrangements. They are uneasy if
they depart from what was done
yesterday. They dread experiments.
They like charted seas and if they
have no charts, hardly venture to
undertake the voyage.

AOAAASAs AvAoy ~ sss~
sociated Press )-The Dutch gov

the former German emperor to
the allied and associated powers,
according to dispatch from The
Hague to the National News.
Paris, May 10.-(By Associated
Press.)-The allies can admit OF no
discussion of their right to insist
upon the terms of the peace treaty
substantially as drafted.
+ This is the reply to Count Won
Brockdorff- -Rantzau, head Of the
German peace delegation, who sub
mitted note to Premier Clemen-
ceau declaring that the peace treaty
contains demands which could be
borne by no people, and many OF
them incapable of accomplishment.
Count Won Brockdorff-Rartz
has also been informed, in answer
to his complaint that Germany was
asked to sign the allied plan for a
league of nations, although not
among the states invited to enter it,
that the. admission of additional
member states has not been over
looked, but has been explicitly pro-
vided for in the covenant.
Snnbbed By Wilson.
Count Won Brockdorff-Ra Rantzau,
German foreign minister and chair
man of the peace delegation. tried
| to obtain a personal interview
President Wilson "for oral neeLA04
tions." but was refused, according
to L'Intransigeant.
President Wilson expressed the
belief today that nothing would be
heard from the German plenipoten-
tiaries for about week. Neither
he nor the other members of the
American delegation has heard any
thing regarding the published re-
port that the German delegates
were preparing to depart from Ver-
saiIles.
The German delegation worked
nearly the whole night in preparing
counter propositions. No commu-
nications have as yet been sent to
the chiefs of the allied missions.
The foreign office announced this
afternoon that no preparations had
been made by the Germans for
withdrawal from Versailles.
Among the subjects discussed
by the, council of four at its meeting,
today, was the eventuality of Ger
many refusing to sign the peace and
what steps should be taken in that
event.
President Wilson viii personally
direct such answers as may be de-
cided upon concerning German in
quiries on the peace treaty differing
from the presidents IA points.
This was announced in high quar-
ters today in connection with the in
structions which Chancellor Scheide-
mann has given the German plenipo-
| tentiaries at Versailles to address a
note to the allies comparing the
terms of the treaty with the ID
points and making a counter pro-
posal for verbal negotiations.
The view is held by the American
delegation that Herr Scheidmann's
objections are not we'll taken that
the treaty is contrary to the pres
ident's fourth point on disarmament
and fifth point on colonial questions.
1t is explained that while the treaty
contains provision for Gernany's
disarmament, this is preliminary to
the general limitation of ornaments
by other nations and that the coven-

LAST BIG
WAR LOAN
Pledges Of Six Billion Dollars
American Peoples Response
to Governments Appeal to !
"Fmish the Job"

Washington, May 10.-The fifth
and last popular war loan of the
United States has been oversub-
kscribed.
Although the approximate total
subscriptions will not be known
for nearly two weeks, figures avail
able tonight showed that the Amer
ican people had responded gener-
ously to the appeal to finish the
job"
Like all of it's predecessors, the
Victory loan suddenly jumped the
last day of the campaign above the
mark set as its limit. The day
brought an avalanche of srfbscrip-
tions which banks could not at
tempt to count until next week
None of today's harvest was in
volved in the total of $3,84o, $4,000
subscriptions officially tabulated to-
night by the treasury and officials
would not be surprised to see the
final figures go to, nearly 100000
900. Only $4,500,000 will be &C
cepted.
Announces Oversubscription.
Late today Secretary Glass issued
this statement:
while official reports to the
treasury today show only $3,849,-
$4,000 subscribed up to noon, un-
official advices from the districts
indicate that without any doubt the
Victory Liberty loan is already
largely oversubscribed, with every
district making a determined effort
to gather in every possible sub
scription before midnight.
"Thus for the fifth time the coun-
try has met the call of the Treasury
department for the funds and the
great Liberty loan organization has
once again proved its mstal."
The only gauge by which officials
could attempt to estimate subscrip-
tions not yet tabulated was pro-
vided by the record of the Fourth
Liberty loan when S2,392,000,000 was
reported after the subscription drive
had ceased
Storms interrupted communica-
ton in the Kansas City district and
