fore the official terms became known,
arc as nothing in comparison with the
wave of remonstrance?angry, bitter,
disappointed in tone?that is sweeping
over Germany now that tho treaty has
been presented. States, municipalities,
districts, organizations of various
sorts, business men's and women's
clubs and the political parties through
their spokesmen are vying with each
other in finding words in which to ex?
press scorn and condemnation for tho
document.
For perhaps tho first time in history
all the German parties are united in
opinion. r;tch of them assailing the
terms Germany is asked to sign, for j
the body of tho Independent Socialist
party does not appear to agree with its j
organ. "Die Freiheit," that Germany i
should sign the peace on the terms pre?
sented. ' The newspapers are utterly
swamped with the protests, being ablo
to print but a fraction of them. Tho
"Tageblatt" says the unfriendly atti?
tude toward the treaty taken by the
Socialists of other countries will not Tie
of assistance, because they are in tho
minority in their countries, and tho
Germans must protest for themselves.
The government likewise is being
overwhelmed wir h telegrams which It
is utterly unable tu answer save by
public announcement of its gratitude.
In the Criticisms, President Wilson
is only mildly assailed here and there,
since word has gone to the press from
official quarters that he is not to be
taken to task. The assertions upon
which stress are laid ar? that the pro?
posed peace lacks all elements of
justice and conforms in no way to the
President's fourteen points, while in?
dignation is expressed over terms char-1
acterized as unbearable and as spelling I
slavery for tho Gorman people. Some I
of the protestants declare they are
deeply moved and outraged by the pro- I
visions of the treaty, while others ex?
press deep contempt for what they call '
a "brutal peace of force." The expr?s- I
slon "A verdict of death" is one fre?
quently used.
Berlin Bankers Assert
Therms Are Impossible
Loss of Fleet and Territory
Declared to Leave IS'ation
Unable to Meet the Demands
New York Tribune
Special Cable Service
(Opjtrtsht. 1?19. New York Tribuno Inc.)
BERLIN, May 11.--It is impossible
to exaggerate the feeling of dismay and
consternation the peace terms have
produced hero. The almost universal
opinion is that the government must
refuse to sign the treaty.
When'thc correspondent of the Tribune
pointed out the consequences?not only
the refusal to end the blockade, but its
resumption under more strinjrest terms
than ever?the answer was. "Let Wil?
son and Lloyd George take the respon?
sibility before history."
The Tribune correspondent finds
among bankers the view that the
economic terms aro impossible to ful?
fil. They say that in consequence of
the loss of Alsace-Lorraine, the Saar
region, Upper Silesia, West Prussia,
Posen and all Germany's commercial
fleet, and with the railway system all
but wrecked by the terms of the armis?
tice, which require the return of stolen
equipment, Germany will be unable to
meet the financial terms of the treaty.
Bitter reproaches against President
Wilson are now heard on tho ground
that he haB surrendered important
parts of tho fourteen points. It is
argued that the armistice was granted
on Mr. Wilson's terms agreed to by
the Allied governments.

Paris Press Sees Danger
In Execution of Treaty
Putting Off Debt Declaration
Until 1921 Prolongs the Un?
certainty, Says "Lc Matin"
New York Tribun?
Sp?cial Cable Servir?
(Copyright. 1910, Now York Tribune Inc.)
PARIS, May 11.?Hints of dissatis?
faction aro perceptible in the French
press. "Le Matin" quotes the Anglo
American chiefs' promises regarding
assistance to the French in tho even
of German aggression in the future
adding: "It is against future invasiot
they want to protect us, yet the en
gngement is not formal. And wha
about the execution of tho treaty? B;
putting off to May 1, 1021, the declara
tion of tho total German debt, aren'
wo prolonging for two years the gen
eral uncertainty?
"Wo have made war to a finish, no
to expose ourselves to a recommence
ment in two years. Isn't there dange
there? After all, shouldn't the chie
who led the Allies to victory be th
best judge of military guarantees
Does this chief think tho guarantee
are sufficient? We must have a go\
crnment reply to this Question."
Socialists Consider Terms
The Socialist and quasi-Bolshevi
elements of tho press violently cot
demn the treaty. "Populaire," t?
organ of Jean Longuet, says;
"Part of German territory annex?
to Belgium?-theft! Saar Valley?di
guised theft! Alsace-Lorraine r
turned to France?but not the Alsac
Lorraine of 1870, for it has been it
mensely enriched."
Finally the paper styles the trea
"the most horrible collective crime
history."
The official Socialist "Humanitc"
almost equally violent, saying:
"The war for the right is finished
last on the west fnnt, but on the otl
side of Europe, against the prolotar
republics of the East, it continues w
redoubled perfidi. As for a peace
justice, the blindest and most confidi
to-day know that it is nothing but
peace of violence, voracious imperi
ism and iniquity."
Saar Pact Called Criminal
"Humanit?" refers to the Saar s
tlement as the most criminal part
the treaty, for, as it says, the polit:
right? of the German population
annihilated. It considers the tr<
ment of the German colonies "alrr
cqually abominable." It remarks t
Germany is disarmed, but that Fra
almost alone must mount guard, her
"Which is the victor, Germany do
ered from militarism or Franca d<
ered over to it?" Finally the ps
criticises the weakness of the lea
of nations.
The Democratic "Nouvelle" sa
"The greatest abomination of
treaty is that Germany is not c
polled to reimburse the Allies for
expenses of tho war which
criminally premeditated. The sec
crime is that we have not obtained
left hank of the Pvhine."
An editorial in the "Petit Jouri
declares: "The treaty is not Frc

Premier's Reply Called Parry
"Pertinax" writes in much the same
strain in the "Echo de Paris," but Pre?
mier Clemenceau's course in referring
Count von Brockdorff-Pantznu to the
second paragraph of the first article
of the league of nations covenant in
reply to the German delegates' com?
plaint that Germany had not been in?
vited to join the league of nations
moves Saint Brice to remark that the
Germans soon found tho weak spot.
The Premier's reply, says the writer,
is a clever parry, but only a parry, in
which he shows how tho contradiction
alleged by the German plenipotentiary
may ccaso to exist, but does not deny
that it does exist. Saint Brice thinks
the German answer to this will not
be long in coming.
Germans in Rhineland
Stunned hy Ultimatum
Civilians in Area Occupied by
Americans Show D i s m a y
When Terms Are Published
COBLENZ, May 11 f By The Asso?
ciated Press).? The Germans in the
American occupied area are not only
mentally stunned by what they con?
sider the severity of the peace terms,
the. summary of which has appeared in
German newspapers, but civilians gen?
erally view them with profound dis?
may. The Germnns of Coblenz appear
to feel the loss of Silesia more than
anything else and exhibit more concern
over the Eastern frontier than the oc?
cupation of the Rhineland for the next
five to fifteen years.
Reports on the attitude of civilians
in the various parts of the American
area regarding the peace terms have
been received at the headquarters of
the Third Army since Thursday when
the army intelligence summary said:
"Never until to-day has the enormity
of the nation's crimes seemed apparent
to Ihe Rhineland population. Prepared
though they may have been for the
punishment meted out, the Germans
nevertheless1 plainly showed their dis?
may upon the publication of the peace
terms."
Belgian Paper Urges
Recall of Peace Envoys
Many Elements Are Dissatisfied
With Terms of the Treaty;
Anger Against United States
New York Tribune
European Bureau
(Copyright, ir>l!>. Now York Tribuno Inc.)
LONDON, May H.?Despite the an
! nounccment of the Belgian delega
tion's intention to continue to par
i ticipate in the peace conference and to
sign the treaty as it now stands, many
elements in Belgium remain dissatis?
fied with the terms of the document.
The Belgian press are unanimous in
stating that the terms of the treaty
are not up to their expectations. Fed
upon Allied propaganda in the form of
news sheets smuggled into the couri
I try during the days of German occu
I pancy and leaflets that were dropped
1 from airplanes, the. Belgians were
i under the impression that as soon as
! the. Germans withdrew the Allies
? would rush aid and plentiful supplies
| of cash, insisting on an immediate, res
I toration of their country's prosperity.
But they- have been erreally disillu
! sioned, as they find their claims as
? strongly contested as those of any
?other ally. Voicing this popular bit?
terness at wliat is represented as tho
Allied failure to live up to the spirit
| of their promises, tho organ of the
j new Nationalist movement, says:
"What our loader.;, because of the
; high positions, cannot say, we say with
| out hesitation. Let's go away. Let us
; leave the conference of Babel. Let us
j recall our delegates at once.
Seo No Kelicf in League
"The floor that Premier Orlando left
; open has not yet been closed. It will
rightly serve those who aro so blind
and so deaf that their hearts have not
. been touched by our misfortunes, and
keep their spirit closed to the warn?
ing lessons of this great catastrophe."
Belgium believes the league of na?
tions, as at present constituted, cannot
I help it" cause.
Concerning this attitude the news
! paper adds: "A league of nations
always has been the dream of small
: peoples whose chief safeguard has been
international morality. Belgium wants
nothing better than to believe in this
; league. But when Huysmans stated at a
, plenary sitting of the peace conference,
i 'people cannot be neglectful of their
, own safety' he announced a truth which
j henceforth we will understand, and
which shows we haven't much more
confidence in the guarantees of the
; league than in the permanent neutral?
ity of pre-war days.
"How much better the league's prom
| ises are than the neutrality treaties we
1 shall learn in tho future. We can
j rely only upon those interested in an
| alliance with us.
Indignation Against America
"In any case tho semi-fiasco of the
| peace conference provides an excellent
, lesson in realist politics. Owing to
tho grand conceptions of the trans
I ccndental idealist there comes an ap
i plication of these principien that results
in compromises, or a triumph of tho
? commercialists which offends against
?justice as deeply as did the old national
?politics. It also shows that diplomacy
] of tho market place ends in haggling
' which is not more moral than the no
jgotiations for which chancellories once
' were the theatre."
A Belgian official, who has just re
! turned from Belgium, says the indig
| nation against America and England is
: widespread. The Indignation against
France is considerably loss because it
is recognized that France has suffered
, just the same fato as that of Belgium.
BRUSSELS, May 11.?Belgium will
j ho compelled to retrench drastically
: in expenditures hecnuso of the peace
terms, Premier Delacroix said to the
j Cabinet to-day in setting forth tho
i financial situation of tho country as
j revealed by the peace stipulations. The
Premier said that aside from $2,500
! 000,000 francs <$500,000,000) granted
? Belgium as a priority payment, she
! would receivo nothing nt present, and
i um the country was without resources
I of its own and foreign loans were ob
j tainablo only on onerous term3, it
! would be necessary to cut expenses al
around immediately.
The army, the Premier stated, woulc
be reduced to 100,000 men, various mil?
itary liabilities abroad would be dis?
continued and relief payments, which
still cost the country .'?O.000,000 franc?
($o,000,000i monthly would be consid?
erably reduced.
Fiume Quest; i Still
Unsettled by Council
Italy Reported Demanding the
Carrying Out of Treaty
of L o n d o n on Dalmalia
I PARIS, May 11.?Tho council of four
? j of the peace conference has not yet
I tuken up the question of Fiume for
j settlement, according to the Havas
, Agency.
The council of foreign ministers has
. nearly finished the work of delimitat?
ing the Austto-Hungarian boundary, it
'? is added. Tho reports of the various
j committees on this problem were
I adopted in their entirety.
Italy, according to the "Echo de
! Paris, seems inclined to cease pressing,
| for the time at least, her claim to
j Fiume, and to demand the carrying out
of the treaty of London upon which
her Dalmatian claims were originally
based.
In several of the newspapers the view
is taken that it is in order for Eranco
j and Italy to conclude a formal pact of
i friendship and alliance, while in some
I quarters regret is expressed that Italy
? was not invited to join tho defensivo
i alliance proposed for France, the United
1 States and Great Britain.
Danes Oppose Plebiscite
In Southern Schleswig
Population Composed of Ger?
mans, Whom Denmark Does
JSot Want in Country, It Is Said
COPENHAGEN, May 11.?The clause
in the peace treaty with Germany pro?
viding; for a plebiscite in southern
Schleswig is causing much excitement
in Denmark. Dissatisfaction is reflect?
ed in the newspapers, which declare
the population of the district is com?
posed of Germans whom Denmark dors
not desire, as their presence within the
country would lead to a futuro racial
conflict.
Tho Political Committee of the
Reichstag, after conferring with the
government, has telegraphed the
Danish Minister in Paris that the gov?
ernment and the Rigsdag insist in
this connection on the enforcement of
? the principle of nationality.
Dutch Call Treaty
Crime Against Germany
AMSTERDAM, May 11.?Tho com?
ment of Dutch newspapers on the peace
treaty is generally unfavorable, the
! "Handelsblad" calling it "a crime
'against Germany and, above all, against
; humanity." The "Nieuw Rotter
? d?nische Courant" says: "The treaty
does not end the war; it continues it
forever."
The "Telegraaf," on tho other hand,
ha.s this comment: "Germany is treated
with terrible severity, but really did
! not deserve a better fate."
Recognition of Finland
Protested by Russians !
PARIS, May 11 (By The Associated:
Press). -The Russian commission in
Paris, of which Prince Lvoff is chair- ;
man, has protested to the Entente poW- !
ers against the unconditional recog?
nition of Finland's independence on;
the ground that Russia's consent must
be obtained before Finland can be
i legally separated from tho Russian
i Empire.
| The protest says the commission
?holds that the action of the various
| powers in recognizing Finland will not
I affect Russia's altitude toward Finland
I and prevent Russia from having her in?
terests in that country safeguarded.
ARCHANGEL, May 11 (By The. As?
sociated Press). Commenting on the
1 peace t rms presented to Germany, the
"Sovernoo Utro" (Northern Morning),
I published here, says:
"The impression is made upon every
Russian that Russia not only is not in?
cluded among tho groat nations sign?
ing tho peace, but does not even belong
among the small nations which took
I part in the war. Russia seems not to
exist at all."
German Treaty Protest
Futile, Says Reading
LONDON, May 11.?The Earl of
I Reading, Pritish Ambassador to the
I United .States, on bis return from
j New York on the Aquitania yesterday,
? said the Germans had no right to ox
l pect anything less in the peace terms.
"They must have known perfectly
! well," Lord Reading said, "that when ?
! they laid down their arms as a van- i
quished people they must submit to I
tho terms that a just victor would S
claim."
"Tin- Germans," he added, "could |
| hardly expect to be received into the
bosoms of our families."
Discussing the German attitude
I toward tho treaty and the contention
that it goes beyond President Wilson's
I "fourteen points" lie said:
"The best answer is that President
] Wilson has accepted the proposals ern
; bodied in the. treaty. Tho author of
the 'fourteen points' is the best, inter
i pretor of them, and he has accepted
I the treaty."

Renewed Peril in
: Russo-German Part
America and the Allied nations face
tho danger of a strong Russo-German
alliance as a result of the procedure
followed by the peace conference was
the warning uttered last night by H.
W. Massingham, editor of the London
"Nation." .Air. Massingham, who is
staying at the Hotel Belmont. is in
(his country on business and to seek
rest from his strenuous editorial labors
during the war.
Discussing the treaty, Mr. Massing?
ham declared Germany should have had
a larger voice in the deliberations, his
contention being that the war was
fought against the old government of
the empire, which has now disap?
peared. "German militarism," he de?
clared, "ig dead forever and now we
have the peoples of tho Central em?
pires to deal with. Old-style diplomacy
has had too free a hand ir. framing the
treaty. The. only way to security for
the world lay in application of the new
diplomacy.
Old R?gime Eliminated
"Germany has played too great a
i part in the past to be left out of ac?
count now. She is absolutely done with
tho old r?gime and from the latest
word 1 have received 1 ho people are
unutterably opposed to the return of
the monarchy. The Allied diplomats
cannot dispose of such a vast territory
p.s the old central empires wit,lout re?
course to the German statesmen and
administrators, who are thoroughly in
touch with the situation there, and
sooner or later this reference must be
made."
Mr. Massingham said that in tho
Congress of Vienna the nations then
allied finally included France in their
deliberations, although at that time
France occupied the r?le of the con?
quered nation.
"The peril in the exclusion of tier
many," he continued, "lies in the prob?
ability that we shall have .iot one body
of nations but two bodies, as Russia
and Germany will enter jr. o a combi?
na'ion against (he Allies.
"We can't settle the problems of (he
world with the sword; we can't per?
petually occupy Germanv nor blockade
?he Baltic or the Black Sea."
A possibility of ameliorating chaotic
conditions in Europe lies in tho league
of nattons covenant, said Mr. Massing?
ham, if Germany can be prevailed upon
to sij.cn it. Asked what he thoughf of
the treaty as a whole, he replied:
"The treaty must be judged by its con?
tributions to the restoration of eco?
nomic and political life in Europe. The
more it conforms to this goal tho
better n treaty it is; the less it con?
forms the worse it is."
Vandorlip's Report Confirmed
Mr. Massingham referred to the dis
patch from London printed in Sunday's
New York Tribune wherein Frank A.
V'anderlip pictured the frightful con?
ditions prevailing upon the Continent
and urged America to rescue Europe by
supplying food and raw materials.
"America has no conception of the
disaster which prevails in Europe to?
day," Mr. Massingham continued. "The
abundance of food here, is remarkable.
In London there is fair abundance in
the clubs and restaurants, but there
is still considerable scarcity in private
bimse:;, but this scarcity is quite in?
significant when compared with what
the Central 1'owevs and Eastern Eu?
rope are suffering."

British Wrath
President Wilson's Failure
to Deny He Sanctions
Acts of Ryan, Dunne and
Walsh Causes Comment
Premier Also Criticised
Heading Parade in Which
Sinn Fein Flags Were
Carried is Chief Offence
New York Tribun*
European Bur ran
! (Copyright, 1919, New York Tribune Inc.)
LONDON, May 11.? The British
? think President Wilson's exact rela?
tion to the Irish-American delegation
j visiting Ireland needs clearing up.
! Criticism has been leveled against the
j emissaries on the ground that they
- headed a parade in Dublin in which
; Sinn Fein and American flags wore
j flaunted in direct violation of the law.
The four of this delegation, consist
| ing of Frank P. Walsh, Michael J Lyon
and ex-Governor Dunne, would not
cause more than a ripple were it not
for the fact that the American Presi?
den! so far has not denied that he has
given his official sanction to their acts.
When Bonar Law returns from Paris
this week he is expected to clear up
the relation of Lloyd George to the
I delegates which still is a subject of
condemnation by the conservative
press of England.
"The Telegraph"- of last Wednesday
says, "If the Premier advised the
! Irish-Americans to visit Belfast he did
? them a much better service than they
I knew. They must be dense indeed if
i their experience in Belfast yesterday
failed to convince the mission that its
purpose is unpopular with all loyal
Irishmen."
Carson Absolves Premier
Sir Edward Carson expressed the
opinion that Lloyd George is not as?
sociated with the mission in any way.
In Belfast the Irish-American dele?
gates were unable to see the Lord
Mayor, the chairman of the harbor
committee or the director of work?
men at the Clark Shipbuilding plant,
which is regarded as a direct snub.
"The Morning Post's" Dublin corre?
spondent reports that their speeches
i;i Dublin upon their return, contained
much that was uncomplinrnentary to
England and English rule.
Tin.' Irish question will como up this
week in the House of Common:-., where
the alleged recognition of .Messrs.
Walsh, Dunne and Ryan will be raised.
Meanwhile the American emissaries
continue what is described by labor pa?
per- and Liberal sympathizers as a
"highly success I and triumphant ,
tour," and by the ultra-Conservative
press as "lawless meddling."
"Post" Deprecates Visit
The "Post." says:
"W? don't know why the rule pro?
hibiting processions should be relaxed
in favor of these men. hut we sup?
pose tiie Irish Executive is acting un?
der instructions from the government. !
If this conjecture is correct the affair !
has an ugly resemblance to the course
of events in Egypt. Sinn Fein is now
boasting that the Irish Executive was
compelled to recognize the internation?
al dignity of the American envoys. We
have no fear of injuring American sen- '
timent by saying that these dangerous
firebrands ought never to have been
allowed to land in Ireland. Already the
Irish-Americans have done great harm, i
We are lucky if they don't do worse." |
"The Spectator" says :
"Lloyd George has been visited by
three Irish-Americans Roman Catholic ,
politicians, fit descendants of the |
irishmen who at the crisis of the Civil :
War tried to drive a dagger into the !
heart of the American Union. He is
alleged to have granted facilities to
the three intriguers to visit Ireland

runaway. These events can bo re?
garded only as a gross jiersonal indig?
nity, wherein the whole British nation
is bound to share."
Sinn Fein Prisoners Visited

tives of Irish societies in the United

prisoners in Mount Joy prison, and
later called on Archbishop Walsh.

Lord Mayor, members of the corpora- i
tion adopted resolutions wishing the

meant when it. entered the war that nil ;
peoples should have the right to deter?
mine the government under which they
lived. The Irish people, he continued,
had determined that, the government
under which they had suffered should
no longer bo theirs. They had selected
their own form of government, and it
would come, perhaps in six months.
perhaps within a year, but the Irish
cause was unconquerable and bound to
victorious.
