already presented nml with the in
crease of heavy burdens.
Germany Wants I'eaee
The German people does nut wish
jr the resumption of the bloody war,
it honestly wishes for a lasting peace.
In view of the attitude ot the nllicd
and associated governments, the Ger
man people has no other force in its
hands save to appeal to the eternally
inalienable right, to an Independent
life, which belongs to the German peo
ple, as to all peoples.
. The government ot the German re
public can lend no support to thH
sacred right of the German people by
the application of force. The gov
rnment's only hope for support to
through the conscience of mankind.
No people. Including those of the al
lied and associated powers, could ex
pect the German people to agree with
thorough conviction to an instrument
of pence, whereby liwng members of
the very body of the iicrman people
are to be cut ofT, without consulta
tion of the populations concerned,
whereby unendurable economic nnd
financial burdens are to be lnid upon
the German people.
The German Government lias re
ceived passionate expression of opin
ion from the population in the dis
tricts to be cut off in the cast, to
the effect that they will oppose them
selves to the separation of thfse dis
tricts, which have, for the greater
part, been German for many cen
turies, by all menus they poi-ess. The
German Government, therefore, finds
itself compelled to decline all respon
sibility for any difficulty which may
result from the resistance of the in
habitants against their separation
from Germany.
If the government of the German
republic is. nevertheless, icady to sign
the conditions of the Allies, with the
above-mentioned reservation, jet this
ii not done of its free will. The gov
ernment of the German republic sol
emnly declares that its attitude is to
be understood in the sense that it
yields to force, being resolved to eparu
the German people, whose sufferings
are unspeakable, n new war. the shat
tering of its national unity by fur
ther occupation of German territories,
terrible famine for women and clnl
dicn and mercilessly prolonged reten
tion of the prisoners of war
The German people expects, in view
of the grievous burdens which it is
to take upon itself, that all German
military and civilian piisoners, be
ginning July 1 nnd thereafter in un
terrupted succession nnd within a
short period, shall be restored. Ger
many gave back her enemies' pris
oners of war within two months
Cannot Fulfill Terms
The government of the German re
public engages to fulfill the condi
tions of peace imposed upon Ger;
many. It desires, however, in this
Kolemn moment to express itself with
unreserved clearness in order to meet
in advance accusation of untruthful
ness that may now or later be made
against Germany.
The conditions imposed exceed the
measure of that which Germany can.
in fact, nerform. The government of
,he German republic, therefore, feels
bound to announce that it makes all
reservations and declines all respon
sibility as regards the consequence
which may be threatened against Ger
many when, which as is bound to
happen, the impossibility of carryiug
out the conditions comes to life, even
though Germany's capacity to fulfill
them is stretched to the utmost.
Germany further lays the greatcht
emphasis on the declaration that she
cannot nccept Article 2P.0 of the
treaty of peace, which requires Ger
many to admit herself to be the sole
and only author of the war, nnd she
does not cover this article by her
signature. It consequentlv folows.
without further argument, that Ger
many must also decline to recognizo
that the burden should be placed upou
her on the score of the responsibility
of the war, which has unjustly been
laid at her door.
Refuse to Ghe Up Kaiser
Likewise, it is equally impossible
for n German to reconcile it with
his dignity nnd honor to nccept and
execute Articles 227 to 230, by which
Germany is required to give up to the
allied and associated powers for trial
individuals among the German people
who are accused by the nllicd und
associated powers for the breach of
international law and of committing
acts 'contrary to the customs of war.
Further, the government of the
German republic makes a distinct
protest against the taking away of
all the colonial possessions of Ger
many and the renaons given therefor,
which permanently deny to Germnny
fitness for colonial activity, although
the contrnry is clearly established and
irrefutable evidence to this effect is
contained in the observation of the
German peace delegation on the con
ditions of peace.
The government of the German re
public assumes that it is in accord
ance with the desires of the allied
and associated governments that It
has spoken openly both bb regards
what concerns its good will and also
as regards its reservations. There
fore, in view of the condition of con
straint into which the German people
are forced by the requirements of
the Allies a condition of constraint
such as has never been indicted on
any people in a manner more crushing
and more disastrous in Its conse
quences and relying on the express
undertaking of the allied and asso
ciated governments in their memoran
dum of June 10, 1010, the Germnn
government believes itself to be en
titled to address the following modest
request to the allied and associated
governments in the expectation that
the allied nnd associated govern
ments will consider the following dec-

the receipt of your communication of
June 23. After1 full consideration of
your request they regret that It Is not
possible to extend the time nlrendy
granted to your excellency to make
known your decision relative to the
signature of the treaty without nnv

The fact that the Germans asked only
fort -eight hours' delay and yet wero
refused was regarded in Pence Confer
ence circles ns Indicating the Intention
of the Allies to push matters to an im
mediate conclusion. Pending the formnl
notification by the Germans as to their
intention, the great Allied military ma
chine wits ready to move on the stroke
of the hour of the expiration .of the
time limit.
Keject Further Alterations
After disposing of the German re
quest, the Council of Four apparently
dismissed Germnn nffnirs to the fntc of
the hours still left the cnem to reply
and dcfinitcl rejected suggested further
alterations in tne treaty. The Council
resumed consideration of the Austrian
treat . A number of experts from vnrl
ous commissions were called In.
The council received four notes from
the Germans, which nre supposed to
have been prepared In ndvancfand were
held to nwnlt ndvlces from Weimar on
the result of the meeting of the assem
bly. President Wilson went nt once
to the residence of Premier Uoyd
George, where the council took up con
sideration of the notes.
One of thcc, from the new Germnn
Government, declared that Germnny was
ready lo sign pence If the clauses making
German responsible for the war and
calling for the trial of the former em
nernr were eliminated
The full text of this German note
shows that while but two reservations
were lnndo, the Germans asked for the
insertion in the treat of n clause pro
viding that, within two years, that
document should be submitted to the
council of the league of nations for re
consideration of t lint portion ot the
treaty which, as t! Gcrmutis plunscd
it, "impair the rights to self-determination
of the Germnn people." Sim
ilar reconsideration of thnt portion
"whereby the free economic develop
ment of German on a footing ot equal
rights is denied" also was provided for
in this suggested clause.
There nppenred today to be some in
dications thnt in case Germany decided
to nccept the pence treaty uncondi
tionally the action would be nceom
pnnied by the passage in the National
Assembly nt 'Weimar of n resolution
or declaration that the signing was
under compulsion nnd that the Germnn
people did not feel morallv responsible
for the war nnd were willing to submit
the question of responsibility to n
tribunal consisting of two members
representing the allied and associated
powers, two neutrals and one Germnn.
Time for Discussion Past

delegation nt Versailles shortly after !)
o'clock last night a reply which bad i

I'nless full acquiescence is received
from Versailles within twenty-four
hours it may be expected that the ad
vance of the nllicd armies will bo re
sumed. Dispatches from government
agents nnd indications generally have
created the impression in conference cir
cles that the Germans will yield.
Only one ot the four notes received
dealt with changes which were de
manded in the peace treaty. The others
were of an informative character relat
ing to developments lending to the re
quest for modifications.

ing of the peace terms naturally wbr the
only question nround which the cabinet
construction hinged, nnd the govern
ment, which went on record ns consid
ering the terms unacceptable, found a
surprising following behind them.
Tho first party bnllots, however,
seemed to make the signing of the treaty
Inevitable, for the powerful Majority
Socialist party voted two-thirds for
ending the suspense. With the Inde
pendents supporting them, the Con
servatives as a party behind them, and
the Centrists on the fence, the result
appeared n foregone conclusion.
Kaiser Is Stumbling Block
Hut the Conservatives suddenly Ewung
nround nnd declared for nonslgnnture,
the Centrists wavered nnd imposed con
ditions, nnd the Democrnts temporarily
balked nny hope of a majority by stub
bornly persisting against tho extradi
tion by the Entente of the former em
peror nnd other German notables.
This was the stumbling block, for the
Democrnts could not be budged from the
attitude which tTfcy held through a for
lorn pride in the former war lord and
the belief thnt a revolution would break
out in protest by the people should Von
Hindenhurg, Iudendorff nnd other idols
nlso be humiliated.
Count von Ilernstorff, formerly am
bassador at Washington, played n
prominent part In the proceedings, not
only ns president of the German pence
committee, but, according to persistent
rumor, ns the possible successor of
Count von Brockdorff-nnntzau, bend
ot the Germnn pence delegation, for
there was a powerful eronn thnt wmnte.l
him to suffer the poetic justice of sign
ing the terms, after bo had helped to
bring the United States into the war.
Von Bernstnrff. however, resisted
and, nfter having been nppolnted In the
morning to the cabinet headed by Ilerr
Bauer, refused to accept the appoint
ment or have anything to do with the
matter.
Later In the day the Centrists dropped
their demand for modification of the
terms nnd expressed their willingness
to sign. The Democrnts nlso wenkened
to such -an extent thnt fifteen of their
sixty-five members in the nssembly went
over to the side in favor of signature.
The first ministry, headed by Ilerr
Bauer, lasted exactly one hour. It
crashed on the Btubbornness of the
Democrats and Von Bcrnstorff's flat re
fusal to head the ministry of foreign
nffnirs. Doctor Dcrnburg. who had
been named as minister ot flnnnce, de
clared he could not co-operate. The
Democrnts then reduced their demands
to one point, on which they were ada
mant, nnmcly, thnt the former German
emperor. Von Hlndenburg nnd Imden
dorff must not be delivered to the En
tente for trial.

The new cabinet is regarded as purely
transitional. The falluro of Von Bern
slorff to accept the foreign ministry is
ascribed In Berlin tnnlnly to fear in
official circles that his incumbency
might provoke hostile comment In the
