TOO ATT PO 01 PAPERS LOSE BASIN IN FEELING TRERTY IS FAVORABLE TREND Although The Delegates Are Opposed To The Terms, Yet Dispatches From Weimar, Where German Cabinet Is In Session, Reflects A Different Viewpoint; In The Meantime The British Grand Fleet Is Getting Ready. (BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TO THE BANNER) (Jenmui feeling towards the peace treaty appears to. ha inking a more favorable trend. Although the peace delegates of Germany, headed byj Count von J3rockdorff-J?antzau, are represented as decid edly opposed to accept the revised allied terms, the latest dispatches from "Weimar, where the German cabinet and national assembly are considering the treaty, reflects a different viewpoint. rJlie majority socialists, the present dominating po litical force, are declared in these advices to be more fav orably inclined towards the treaty than at first, while tho Clericals and Democrats of the left wing are reported to bo swinging in the same direction. One report from Berlin says that the People of the capital arc resigned to the future- desiring only to see tho treaty signed and the suspense ended. In the meantime, however, rumors of an exciting na ture are printed in London newspapers, it being said that the British grand fleet is prepared to sail on short notice for German waters and that British dirigibles are already; near the German coasts, if not already over German soil. The dirigible R-34, which the British are intending to send out on a trans-Atlantic voyage late this week, is said to be, by one report, over the Baltic sea armed with bombs and machine guns and ready for action. Her sister craft, the R-33, is report ed to have left last night on a cruise which will take in the Kiel canal. One thing is definitely known and that is that tho R-34 will not start on her proposed trans-Atlantic journey until tho German situation is cleared up. Only minor affairs are being taken up by officials of the peace confer ence in the absence of President Wil son, who is in Belgium. Efforts are being made .to adjust the railroad communication between Flume, Tri este and Vienna to the satisfaction of Italy, Jugo Slavla and Czecho Slavia.
