By Associated Press.
Most of the German pro
tests against the Peace
Treaty terms received by
the Allies are said to im
press the Allied chiefs as
being designed as propa
ganda. It is pointed out
that the German notes bear
evidence of having been written
before the German delegation
had seen the treaty, the text of
the document not being quoted.
No further notes were presented
by the enemy representatives on
Thursday.
Germany Silent Today
Germany was silent to-day on
the terms of the treaty. It has
developed that the pact the Teu
tons are required to sign contains a
clause providing that ratification by
Germany and three of the principal
associated powers wjll bring the
treaty into force between the rati
fying parties, enabling the immedi
ate resumption of trade.
The police authorities of Berlin
have issued warnings against demon-!
strations toward foreigners in the ]
German capital, threatening punish-'
ment for those who either incite or
participate in uprisings.
A peremptory answer to the
German note registering objec
tions to the treaty arrange
ments for the left bank of the
Rhine and the Sarrc Valley has
been drafted by the special com
mission on territorial affairs,
presided over by Andre Tardieu,
it was reported this morning.
Negotiations pending ror the ad
justment of the Adriatic controversy
contemplate a direct settlement be
tween Italy and Jugo-Slavia,
through American mediation. By
this plan the Austrian treaty would
not specify the disposition to be
made of Dalmatia. Istria or Fiume,
beyond detaching them from Aus
tria.
One of the delegates is quoted
vs saying there is nothing else to do
out affix the signature of the Ger
man President and attach the seal
to the document.
Premier Absent
Ovgng to the absence of Premier
Lloyd George from Paris, the
Peace Conference Council of Four
did not meet to-day. The military,
naval and aerial terms of the treaty
between the Allies and Austria were
further discussed yesterday and it is
expected the treaty will be present
ed about the middle of next week.
In the meantime,, efforts to .each
l solution of the Italian controversy
are continuing. Claims of Italy to
territory on the eastern shore of the
Adriatic were taken up again by
Premier Clemenceau yesterday with
Premier Orlando and Foreign Min
ister Sonnino, of Italy.
Finns Drive on Pctrograd
A Finnish army, under the lead
ership of General Mannerheim, the
Premier, is reported by Copenhagen
to be advancing on Petrograd. A
Helfingfors dispatch received Thurs
day stated that the people of Petro
grad had been advised by the Soviet
government to leave the city with
aut delay, announcement being
made that all the government de
partments will be removed from the
interior capital by July 1.
Further south, the forces of the
ill-Ru3sian government at Omsk
have captured the Important city of
Samara. In the Volga valley; while
General Denikine has captured Ros
:ov on Don, at the head of the Sea
jf Azov.
Presldc/it Wilson devoted to-day to
-eceiving a long list of delegations
ind individuals, ranging from uip
omatists to labor representatives
and including spokesmen for vt.ri
aus countries, from Siam to eastern
European nations.
It is quite probable that the Turk

ivill be negotiated and signed in

Nothing to Do But Sign
By Associated Press
Versailles. May 16.—A distinct impression among some of
the subordinate members of the German Peace Mission that
the Germans will sign the Peace Treaty, is reflected in the
remark of one of the secretaries, who is quoted as saying:
, "What else can we do but sign? We are on the ground,
your knees are on our stomachs and your thumbs in our
eyes."

there.

TWO HARRISBURG
OFFICERS GIVEN
U. S. WAR CROSS
Major Fleming and Captain
Stackpole Honored by
American Army
Two well-known young Harrisburg
officers have been awarded the Dis
tinguished Service Cross Major
i Samuel W. Fleming, Jr. and Captain
j Edward J. Stackpole, Jr. News of
1 their recognition for gallantry in
! action was received last night.
Major Fleming, who is serving
with the 315 th Infantry of the 79th
(Liberty) Division is probably now
|on his way home from France. He
was cited last December for signal
I bravery and recently received the
i emblem of Distinguished Service.
The 79th Division was trained at
Camp Meade and is largely com
posed of men from Central Penn-
I sylvania. Major Fleming's official
| citation has not yet been made avail
! able for publication,
i Captain Stackpole, .who is now
I undergoing further treatment for
| wounds at the Government base hos-
I pital near Rah way. New Jersey, alter
having greeted his comrades in
j Philadelphia yesterday, - served at
Camp Hancock as divisional officer
, in charge of bayonet practice and
v.hen the division was ordered to
France was placed in command of
Company M, 110 th Infantry, a regi
' ment which served with great dis
tinction throughout the hard fighting
I for several months last year. His
; award of the Distinguished Service
j Cross is based upon the following
; citation:
"In action near Amelieux, France,
August 24, 1918. Directed to advance
! to a new position, he led his men
forward with great gallantry, al
i though painfully wounded in the
i back and leg by shell fragments. He
| remained on c)uty with his men, in
spiring them by his courage and
' coolness to hold a difficult position
against a terrific twenty-four-hour
attack by the enemy."
Captain Stackpole was recom
mended for the service cross by the
officers of the 110 th one of whom.
Lieut. Colonel Edward Martin, in
command of the regiment at the
time, says: "During the first heavy
engagement in which the regiment
took part at Courmont, July 28. 29
and 30, Captain Stackpole distin
guished himself by his conspicuous
bravery and his thorough grasp of
the tactical situation. 1 had so much
confidence in his ability that I as
signed him the duty of organizing
the west half of the ground captured
by our regiment to resist thp coun
ter-attack. which duty he performed
with marked success."
Further Colonel Martin savs the
Harrisburg officer led his company
under heavy machine gun and artil
lery fire on the Vesle river and while
painfully wounded refused to leave
the field until his mission was ac
complished "after several hours of
the hardest and most dangeroun
fighting." It was the intention of
tlie regimental commander, he says,
to recommend Captain Stackpole for

SUFFICIENT ICE
IN PROSPECT TO j
AVOID FAMINE
Little Prospect of Serious
; Shortage; Prices to Be Same
as Last Summer
; There are no indications of a !
scarcity of ice in Harrisburg during |
the coming summer, despite the fact
; that local dealers have not harvest- '
j ed very much ice during the season !
! just past.
Prices during the coming summer ■
I will range around the same figures ■
I as in last July and August, Harvey
I E. Dewalt, manager of the United ■
j Ice and Coal Company, said this •
! morning. These prices will be prob
j aby sixty cents a hundred pounds |
j for ice delivered on wagon. "Jitney" J
j stations will sell the product at a j
: figure around forty cents a hundred
| pounds.
The situation in Harrisburg will :
j he relieved by shipments of approx- j
I imately 9,000 tons of ice during ,
j the coining summer. In addition, i
! the product of the huge new plant j
| which will probably be opened next j
| week, will help to bear through the ■
I summer. The cool spring also has j
j done much to conserve the supply j
j on hand.
j The new Ice plant will probably |
I be completed by Monday when the
; manufacture of ice will begin. It is j
said 110 tons of ice can be produced j
j every day.
