are invited to join the league of
nations.
"The German peace delegation begs
to inquire whether, and, if so, under
what circumstance, such invitation
is intended.
"BROCKDORFF-RANTZAU."
Reply of Allies
The reply of the Allies to this is as
follows:
"The receipt of the German pro?
gramme of the league of nations is
acknowledged. The programme will
be referred to the appropriate com?
mittee of the Allied and associated
powers.
"The German plenipotentiaries will
findon a ?examination of the gov?
ernment of the league of nations that
the matter of the admission of ad?
ditional member states has not been
overlooked, but is explicitly provided
for in the second paragraph of Ar?
ticle 1."
"Stand Together,'9 Says
Ebert's Proclamation
"Anoic Parties and Trust in
Mutual Right,'* He Pleads;
Terms Disregard of Pledges
BERLIN. May 10 (By The Associated
Press).?The German Cabinet last night
sent instructions to the peace delega?
tions at Versailles. The details of the
communication are not known.
Germany's reply to the terms of
peace presented at Versailles on
Wednesday will be a proposal "for a
peace of right on the basis of a lasting
peace of the nations," according to a
proclamation to the German people
issued here to-day by President Ebert.
Urges Stand by People
The proclamation says, the treaty
would "deliver German labor to for?
eign capitalism for the indignity of
wage slavery and permanently fetter
the young German republic." It closes
with an appeal to the German people
to "stand together, knowing no par?
ties," and to "preserve with the gov?
ernment mutual trust in the path of
duty, in the belief of the triumph of
reason and right." The text of the
proclamation follows:
"The first reply of the Allies to the
sincere desire for peace on the part
of our starving people was the lay?
ing down of the uncommonly hard
armistice conditions. The German
people, having laid down their arms,
honestly observed all the obligations
of the armistice, hard as they were.
Notwithstanding this, our opponents
for six months have continued the
war by maintaining the blockade. The
German people bore all these bur?
dens, trusting in the promise given
by the Allies in their note of Novem?
ber 5 that the peace would be a peace
of right on the basis of President
Wilson's 'fourteen points.'
Calls Promises Broken
"Instead of that, the Allies have
now given us peace terms which are
in contradiction to the promise given.
It is unbearable for the German peo?
ple and is impracticable, even if we
put forth all our powers. Violence
without measure would be dona to
the German people. From such an
imposed peace fresh hatred would be
bound to arise between the nations,
and in the course of history there
would be new wars. The world would
be' obliged to bury every hope of a
league of nations liberating and heal?
ing the nations and insuring peace.
"The dismemberment and mangling
of the German people, the delivering
of German labor to foreign capital?
ism for the indignity of wage slavery
and the permanent fettering of the
young German republic by the
Entente's imperialism is the aim of
this peace of violence. The German
people's government will answer the
peace proposal of violence with a
proposal of a peace of right on the
oasis of a lasting peace of the na?
tions.
German People United
"The fact that all circles of the
German people have been moved so
deeply testifies that the German gov?
ernment is giving expression to the
united will of the German nation.
The German government will put
forth every effort to -secure for the
German people the same national
unity and independence and the
same freedom of labor in economical
and cultural respects which the Al

New Note Sent Allies
The proclamation, which was issued
by the national President and the na?
tional government, bears tho signature
of President Ebert.
The national and Prussian govern?
ments, in a joint proclamation to East?
ern Germany, assuring the populations
of those provinces that the government
will do its utmost to ward off the dan?
gers threatening them and enumerating
the territorial changes proposed in the
treaty of peace, say:
"These encroachments are entirely
irreconcilable with tho principles sol?
emnly proclaimed by President Wil?
son."
The "Lokal Anzeiger" states that a
note has been sent to the Entente na?
tions requesting that new peace nego?
tiations be begun, and that German
prisoners of war be immediately re?
leased.
Telegrams received here from Ver?
sailles with regard to the programme
j of the German peace delegation report
that five commissions will be ap
I pointed to consider and reply to the
j peace terms.
Dr.,Haniel von Haimhausen will head
the commission on military and politi?
cal affairs; Herr Stockhammern the
commission to deal with economic sub
I jects; Herr Melchoir, the banking ex
I pert, that dealing with finance; Herr
1 Simon, the judicial commission, and
Herr Leinert, president of#thc Prus?
sian Assembly, the commission on so?
cial subjects.
Germany's "Week of Mourning," de?
creed by the government to give ex?
pression to the "sorrow and depres
j sion" called forth by the announct?
! ment of the peace terms, will begin
i Sunday.
The decree provides that public friv?
olity must be stopped for a period of
j eight days. Its provisions affect the
' first-class theatres in the same manner
as the popular cabarets.
Dancing, horse racing and gambling
will be suppressed for the week, and
the cccasion probably will be used to
put a definite end to the gambling
frenzy which is holding greater Berlin
in its tentacles.
Season of Soul Searching
A season cf soul searching would
seem to be the most probable reaction
to the frivolity and gambling which
have been in progress.
On the day the peace terms were
published here the Karlshorst race?
track took in more than 130,000 marks
in gate receipts, while the betting
sheds distributed 3,500,000 marks.
During the week of mourning the
Cabinet expects that the federated
states will give loyal cooperation to its
endeavors to have every city, town and
i hamlet observe the occasion.
The stock exchanges at Bremen,
; Hanover and Frankfort, in addition to
j those at Hamburg and Berlin, nave
temporarily suspended operations on
? account of the tension in the political
situation.
Mass meetings throughout the coun?
try have been arranged for Tuesday
by the Social Democratic party to dis?
cuss the terms of peace.
"We Must Sign;' Says
Baron Richthofen
Count von Revenllow Urges
Germans IS'ot to Rail at
Ifilson; Others Conciliatory
BERLIN, May 10 (By The Associated
Press).?Baron Hartmann von Richt?
hofen, a Democratic member of the
National Assembly and a secretary of
the German Embassy in Washington
from 1908 to 1911, who opposed tho
pan-German attitude on the war from
the beginning, declares in an article
in the "Boersen Zeitung" that Germany
will have to sign the peace terms un?
der protest, even if the delegation is
unable to secure changes and ameliora?
tions. He declares that the terms
must be answered with exact reference
in each case to President Wilson's
fourteen points and that Germany must
not b? willing to budge a hair's
breadth from them.
Urged Not to Rail at United States
Count von Reventlow, in an editorial
in the "Tages Zeitung" to-day, change.?
his customary attitude of anti-Ameri?
canism and udvises the German people
not to rail at President Wilson and
Ameri ans. He continues:
"Minister Gieaberta explains that the
attitude of President Wilson was the
greatest deception of his life. There is
no doubt that millions of Germant
these days feel as does the Minister.
We have not suffered this same illusion
and believe we can see that America
will be the only power in the world
from which the German people can
expect help and relief.
"To let onp's self go in angry
speeches about the President seems
neither apropos nor useful, but rather
the contrary. About President Wilson'?
r?le, which spells serious defeats and
?os? of prestige for him, we will speak
at another time."
Condemn? Bolshevism
The count condems the idea of
national Bolshevism as expressed by
Minister Giesberts in an interview at
Versailles.
Dr. Ludwig Haas, Minister of tho In?
terior, of Baden, in an article in the
"Tageblatt," of Berlin, criticising
President's Wilson's attitude at the
peace conference, says it is inconceiv?
able that i/'the President of a great
and honorfcb!- nation should ho iriile
with his reputation and that of his '
nation."
Wilson to Direct Replies
To Enemy on 14 Points
Council of Four Discusses
Plans To Be Pursued if
the Enemy Declines to Sign
PARIS, May 10 (By The Associated
| Press).?President Wilson personally
| will direct such answers as may be de
I cided upon concerning German in?
quiries on the peace treaty differing
from the President's Fourteen Points.
This was announced in high quar?
ters to-day 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 Fourteen Points
and making a counter proposal for
verbal negotiations.
It is understood that among the sub
! jects discussed by the council of four
; at its meeting to-day was the eventu?
ality of Germany's refusing to sign the
peace treaty and what steps should be
taken in that event.
It is said no intimation that Ger
jmany intended taking such a course
| has reached the Allies, but they are
; taking nothing for granted, and the
discussion of the subject by the repre
! senta tires of the powers to-day was by
j way of preparation for such an eventu
I ality, however remote.
It is understood the council of four
is continuing its study of the Fiume
question on the basis of the agreement
reached relative to the future status
of the Saar region.
The Council of Foreign Ministers this
i afternoon fixed the boundaries between
Czecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia and
! made progress toward the adjustment of
? the new Rumanian boundaries. The
i question of lifting the blockage against
| Hungary was discussed and was re?
ferred to the Supreme Economic Coun
I cil for action.
The council also discussed the ques?
tion of feeding the population of Riga
and how to prevent supplies from fall?
ing into the hands of the Bolsheviki
should they reenter the city.
Latest reports have been that the
Bolshiviki were still in Riga. The
question was referred to a sub-com?
mittee.

VERSAILLES, May 10 (By The As?
sociated Press;.?The German delega?
tion worked nearly the whole night in
preparing counter-propositions, the
clicking of typewriters in their offices
ceasing at 4 o'clock this morning.
Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, chair?
man of the German peace delegation,
has asked the other members of the
mission to hasten their examination of
the treaty so he may go to Germany
to confer with his government. A large
force of translators is at work contin?
uously and the German typists have
been divided into day and night shifts.
Last night, 40 out of the 120 typists
worked until 4 o'clock this morning.
j Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau also was
! at work until a late hour.
Last night the Germans sent nu
i merous telegrams to Berlin, which were
1 transmitted by wireless from the Eif?
fel Tower.
Twenty-five additional experts and

Berlin.
The German peace plenipotentiaries
are at perfect liberty to return to Ber?
lin and ccnsult their government, if
they desire to do so, it is reported in
conference circles. Such a move, if
! made, would not mean the breaking off
i of the negotiations.
The Germans, it is said, enjoy entire

j immunity.
Chinese Society Asks
U. S. to Reject Treaty
PARIS, May 10 (By The Associated
Press).?At a meeting held yesterday
afternoon under the auspices of the
Chinese Society for International
Peace, and attended by the Chinese
Ambassador and members of the Chi?
nese delegation to the peace confer?
ence, a motion was adopted for the
sending of a cable message to the
United States Senate praying it not to
ratify the decision of the peace con?
ference regarding the disposition of
Shantung and Kiao-chau.
A letter was read from President
House Not to Remain
As Wilson's Spokesman
New York Tribune
? Special Cabio ?'Service
PARIS, May 10.?Contrary to ex?
pectations, Colonel E. M. House
may not remain us President Wilson's
representative for the negotiation of
treaties with German Austria, Bul?
garia and Turkey. Who will act for
? the President if Mr. Wilson departs
three weeks hence, as planned, is not
known, if, indeed, the President has
made a decision.
; Wilson in which he expressed regret
that his engagements prevented him
from accepting an invitation to be
present.
The speakers included Charles R.
Crane, of Chicago, who expressed sym?
pathy with China's demand. Among
the Chinese speakers were Miss Tchang,
I a well known feminist, and Mr. Cheng,
proprietor of "The Peking Gazette."
They severely criticised the decision
of the council of three.
It seems unlikely that the Chinese
delegates will sign the treaty unless
they are given written assurance by
the council of three that Japan will re?
turn Kiao-chau to China. The Chi?
nese delegates say the clause in the
treaty contains no such provision,
their only basis for believing that such
a restitution will be made being a
verbal agreement. Without a definite
written promise from the council of
three, they believe it impossible to gain
permission from the Chinese Cabinet
for the signature of the treaty.
Without such a pledge the Chinese
delegates hold their position to be
worse than under the Japanese treaties,
I which specifically pledge the return of
: Kiao-chau.
The Chinese contention is being
? watched with much interest because it
I raises a question as to the actual status
of many verbal agreements in the cori
I fereru:es of the council of three which
I are not known to be definitely in the
' written ' proceedings.

The chart shows howr old age be?
gins in childhood iargely because
of neglect of the human body,
failure to inspect it and correct
its weaknesses as it grows older.
Defects accumulate and vitality
wanes even as early as age J.3,
long before maturity.
Can anyone with a modicum
of common sense claim that the
death rate at 40 is more than
twice that at 20 "just because,"
or in accordance with a fixed
law? A man should be in hi?
prime at 40, and some, actually
are at SO, but the mass are in
their prime at the early age of
12 if the death rate is any
guide as to vitality.

I ASKED a friend of mine that question the other day. His
answer is worth repeating: "It all depends on the man."
Take your own circle of friends as an exan?ple. You know
some men who are old at forty. You know some who are
young at sixty. It all depends on the man.
General Foch is 67. Premier Clemenceau is 77. Wilson is 63.
General Pershing- is 50. Edison is 72.
There is no fixed law of mortality. The death rate at forty
among males is more than twice that at twenty. But it need not he.
It is entirely within the range of scientific possibility to increase the
vitality of forty to that of twenty. It all depends on the man.
Good health means youth?no matter what your years. Good
health means happiness. Good health means wealth?for the richest
man is poor indeed without it.
Too Little Attention Paid! to Health
IT IS not wise to worry unnecessarily
about health. You know that many
people think themselves sick who are really
not sick at all.
On the other hand, there are thousands
upon thousands of people in New York
today who need medical attention?but
who do not have the least idea that there
is anything the matter with them.
Ignorance in regard to health, when
knowledge is so easily obtainable, is the
surest way to invite ill health and suffer?
ing. Even an automobile engine will not
run satisfactorily without a periodic over?
hauling. Four out of every ten deaths in
the United States could be postponed for
years with proper care.
The terrible thing about disease is the
insidiousness of it. It does not develop
over night. Like everything else, it has
its beginnings?little signs that you hardly
notice at the time?a headache?a mo?
mentary, pain about the heart?a certain
indefinable soreness in the abdomen?
loss of weight, appetite and sleep?un?
natural nervousness, lassitude, irritability,
etc. When the pain does come it is all
too frequently a sign that irreparable
damage has already been done.
You may be "suddenly taken sick"
tomorrow, as the saying goes, but in
reality it is not sudden at all. For days
and weeks, or months perhaps, some
vital organ has been giving way and fin?
ally it can stand the strain no longer.
Prompt attention might have avoided the
trouble.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure
LONG before the heart breaks down,
or the kidneys refuse to function,
or the arteries become affected, there is a
period of slow change that reduces your
efficiency and your resistance to disease.
Those early signs of trouble, which may
mean nothing to you, are readily observed
and charted by the expert medical ex?
aminers of the Life Extension Institute.
People are beginning to realize this.
Scores of men and women come to us
every day and the request is worded al?
most the same in every case:
"I feel well enough, but I'm not sure.
I want you to examine me thoroughly
and tell me exactly where I stand in regard
to sickness and health."
That is the sensible way to do it It
is the only way. If there is anything
wrong that you do not suspect a period'c
health examination will reveal the danger
before it is too late. And if everything
is all right?fine and dandy! You will
sleep better just for knowing the folly of
your fears.
Just a few words about the Life Ex?
tension Institute?one of the greatest
influences for good in America today?
the corner-stone of the great, national
movement to prolong human life.
The Life Extension Institute was
founded a little over five years ago by
ex-President William Howard Taft. Pro?
fessor Irving Fisher, of Yale; Alexander
Graham Bell, Charles H. Sabin, Robert
W. de Forest and one hundred other
eminent authorities in this country and
abroad to provide just such necessary
health examination as we have spoken of
above, and to teach further the simple
every-day principles of personal hygiene
that every man and woman ought to know
to avoid disease and needless suffering.
Not a Profit-Making Institution
THESE men serve without compen?
sation of any kind. The Life Ex?
tension Institute was planned to be self
supporting?nothing more. Two-thirds of
the profits are set aside in a trust fund for
health work of a national scope.
The Life Extension Institute works
hand-in-hand with the highest ideals of
modern, scientific medicine. It is irrevo?
cably opposed to fads and quacks and
charlatans. It is ethical.
The Life Extension Institute has a
Hygiene Reference Board of one hundred
leading scientific men, including the Sur?
geons-General of the Army (retired) and
Navy, and U. S. Public Health Service,
several ex-Presidents of the American
Medical Association, Commissioners of
Public Health, and others interested in
public welfare. A complete list will be
furnished on application.
Complete Survey of the Body
THE Institute's Health Service consists of
an intensive physical examination of the
whole body, together with- quarterly chemic
and microscopic examinations of the urine; re?
view of the member's personal and family his?
tory, daily living habits and health problems;
detailed" reports, hygenic guidance and instruc?
tions; monthly health journals and Keep-Well
leaflets. ,
It makes no difference where you live. The
Life Extension Institute has its Head Office right
here in New York, and a staff of more than
5000 physicians throughout the United States.
Examinations of subscribers who live in New
York and vicinity are made at the Head Office
of the In:;titute, 25 West 45th st.?on appointment
by telephone or letter?between the hours of 9
A. M. and 5 P. ML; also evenings, 7 P. M.
to 10 P. M.
A coupon is printed below for the convenience
of those, desiring further information about the

good it is doing in the great national movement
to prolong human life.
