Paris, May 20. —The German
plenipotentiaries will deliver
their observations on the peace
treaty terms on Wednesday of
this week. No extension of time
for replying has been given
them.
The general impression in
inference circles is that the
Germans will ultimately sign
lie treaty.
Copenhagen, May 20.—The con
ference of German political leaders
and German peace delegates at Spa
on Sunday agreed that the peace
terms are unacceptable, according
to a German semi-official statement,
and that Germany will leave no
stone unturned in an attempt to
"find a practicable basis of peace
which takes into account our oppo
nents' justifiable demands and those
capable of being borne and carried
out by the German people."
Berlin. May 20.—The German re
ply to the peace terms will be hand
ed to the representatives of the
Allied and associated powers Thurs
day, the Tageblatt says. The contents
of the reply, it is added, will ad
here closely to the German version
of President Wilson's fourteen points.
The fifteen days given the Ger
mans to make a reply to the peace
treaty, will expire Thursday.
Moorhead Knitting Co.
Takes Over More Land
For Big New Plant
An important real estate transac
tion was closed to-day in the taking
over of a considerable piece of land ;
at Cameron and State streets by the
Moorhead Knitting Company. This
important plant has been developing
so rapidly that additional space is re
quired for its expanding business and
the property purchased from the
Gilbert estate and Spencer C. Gilbert,
241x200 feet, extends along State
street from Cameron street to Pax
ton creek and gives the Moorhead
Knitting Company with its present
plant and site an entire block bound
ed by Cameron. State and Walnut
streets, and Paxton creek.
C. H. Lloyd, the architect, had
prepared some time ago tentative
plans for an enlargement of the big
modern factory building, but these
plans for an enlargement will have
to be revised since additional land
has been acquired.
An enlargement of the plant lias
been under consideration for sev- j
eral months an<i it is probable that
the bui'ding plans will now be car
ried forward to meet the require
ments of the company.
New Chapel to Be Built

tion at Wiconisco, Lexington and
Clark streets, purchased for this pur-j
poso sometime ago.
A building committee consisting of
J. A. Brandt, chairman: John Camp
bell, S. W. Goodyear, Francis J. Hall:
and H. W, Keeny, was organized.
The Division Street chapel ha3l
Htood for twenty-five years at Dlvi-j

Senator Smith's Bill,
Passed by Senate, Will
Save $15,000 Each Year
The Senate to-day passed finally Sen
ator Frank A. Smith's bill providing for
a receiver of taxes in Dauphin county j
in place of the 14 tax collectors em
ployed under the present system. The ]
bill now goes to the House for con
currence. No opposition is expected to
p the measure.
Under the provisions of the bill, the
receiver of taxes would he elected each
four years at the regular general elec
tions. and would receive $3,600 per
year. He is empowered to appoint two
deputy collectors at $1,500 per annum,

mated saving in the city alone would
total $15,000 a year.

WILSON PLEADS FOR WINES AND
BEER IN MESSAGE TO CONGRESS;
TO RETURN RAILWA YSAND WIRES
Revision of
War Taxes
Is Asked
PROSPERITY
IS FORECAST
i
j Refuses to Discuss
Obscure Terms of
Peace Treaty
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 20.
President Wilson, in his
message to Congress to
day, recommended repeal of the
war-time prohibition law—so
far as it applies to wine and beer
ionly; announced definitely that
j the rail systems and telegraph
! and telephone lines would be
1 returned to private ownership;
i urged a revision of war taxes,
: particularly to abolish the man
| ufacturers and retail sales ex
j cises, and outlined generally a
program respecting labor.
These were the "high spots"
of the President's message ca
bled from Paris.
Urges Woman Suffrage
Besides that, he again urged enact
ment of the woman suffrage constitu-
Uonal amendment; recommended that
the tariff laws be supplied with teeth
to protect American industry against
foreign attack; spoke for legislation to
facilitate American enterprise through
the expansion of shipping and backed
Secretary Lane's program for land for '
returning soldiers.
Of the Paris Peace Conference and the 1
League of Nations the President merely
said it would be premature to discuss
them or express a judgment. He also
avoided discussion of domestic legisla
tion at length because of his long ab
sence from Washington.
Congress heard a unique document;
the only one of its kind ever transmitted
across the ocean from a President on a
foreign shore. For the first time in
six years it heard a presidential mes
sage read by a reading clerk instead of
assembling to hear the President deliver
an address in person.
Asks For Beer anil Wine
The recommendations for the repeal
of war-time prohibition and for the_ rail
and wire systems, while not unexpected
by some, contained greatest element
of surprise and provoked the most wide
spread comment of the many tasks set
before Congress by the President.
In his reference to prohibition, the
President did not enter extensively into
the considerations involved. Demobili
zation. he said, merely "has progressed
to such a point that it seems to me en
tirely safe now to remove the ban upon
the manufacture and sale of wines and
beers." This ban. laid several months
ago to become effective on Jul}' 1. could
be removed, the President said, only
by congressional enactment.
His recommendation regarding return
Of the railways and wire lines was the
first authoritative declaration by the
administration of its future policy and
greatly surprised many members who
had interpreted the developments of the
last few months to mean that Mr. Wil
son eventually would propose some form
of permanent government operation. On
the contrary the directness of the Presi
dent's declaration on that point left no
doubt that he was through with, any
possible scheme of permanent reten
tion.
Bailroatls Go Back
"The telegraph and telephone lines,"
said the message, "will of course be re
turned to their owners as soon as the
transfer can be effected without admin
istrative confusion * * * The rail
roads will be handed over to their own
ers at the end of the calendar year."
In the case of each the President
asked for legislation to make easier the
readjustments necessitated by the
change.
In his recommendation for readjust
ment of taxation the President made
it clear that he did not expect a fund
amental readjustment of the domestic
tariff rates that have been operative for
the last six years. He asked for tariff
changes only to protect special new in
terests like the dye stuffs industry.
Some reductions were advocated in war
time excess profits taxes and the pres
ent taxes on retail sales, the President
thought, could be dispensed with en
tirely.
Congress Doubtful
What will be the reply of the Repub
lican congress to these proposals be
came at once the topic of discussion
everywhere about the Capitol. In re
turning the railroads. It generally was
conceded, the Republican leaders will
readily give the President their co-op
eration. But as to prohibition and tar
iff and Internal revenue taxation the
case was more doubtful. Those are
problems on which no veary clear senti
ment apparently has been formed In
either of the great parties.
His Tariff's Views
On tariff revision the President said
the United States should have the means
of properly protecting itself when there :
was danger of discrimination against It ;
by foreign nations.
"Although the United States will giad- j
ly and unhesitatingly join in the pro- !
gram of international disarmament, it j
will, nevertheless, be a policy of obvious i
prudence to make certain of the suc
cessful maintenance of many strong and
well equipped chemical plants."'
The President's Congressional Message
"Gentlemen of the Congress:
"I deeply regret my Inability to be present at the
opening of the extraordinary session of the Con
gress. It still seems to be my duty to take part in
the counsels of the Peace Conference and contrib
ute what I can to the solution of the innumerable
questions to whose settlement it has had to address
itself: for they are questions which affect the
peace of the whole world, and from them, there
fore, the United States cannot stand apart. 1
deemed it my duty to call the Congress together
at this time because it was not wise to postpone
longer the provisions which must be made for the
support of the Government. Many of the appro
priations which are absolutely necessary for the
maintenance of the Government and the fulfillment
of its varied obligations for the fiscal year 1919-
1920 have not yet been made: the end of the pres
ent fiscal year is at hand, and action upon these
appropriations can no longer be prudently delayed.
It is necessary, therefore, that I should immediately
call your attention to this critical need. It is
hardly necessary for me to urge that it may receive
your prompt attention.
Pressing Problems
"I shall take the liberty of addressing you on
my return on the subjects which have most
engrossed our attention and the attention of the
world during these last anxious months, since the
armistice of last November was signed—the inter
national settlements which must form the subject
matter of the present treaties of peace and of our
national action in the immediate future. It would
be premature to discuss them or to express a
judgment about them before they are brought to
their complete formulation by the agreements
which are now being sought at the table of the
Conference. I shall hope to lay them before you
in their many aspects so soon as arrangements
have been reached.
"I hesitate to venture any opinion or press any
recommendation with regard to domestic legisla
tion while absent from the United States and out
of daily touch with intimate sources of informa
tion and counsel. I am conscious that I need,
after so long an absence from Washington, to seek
the advice of those who have remained in con
stant contact with domestic problems and who
have known them close at hand from day to day,
and I trust that it will very soon be possible for
me to do so. But there are several questions

pressing for consideration to which I feel that 1
may and, indeed must, even now direct your atten
tion, if only in general terms. In speaking of them
1 shall, I dare say, be doing little more than speak
your own thoughts. I hope that I shall speak
your own judgment also.
latbor Question First
"The question which stands at the front of all
others in every country amidst the present great
awakening is the question of labor, and perhaps I
can speak of it with as great advantage while
engrossed in the consideration of interests which
affect all countries alike as I could at home and
amidst the interests which naturally most affec-t
my thought, because they are the interests of our
own people.
"By the questions of labor I do not mean the
question of efficient industrial production, the
question of how labor is to be obtained and made
effective in the great process of sustaining popu
lations and winning success amidst commercial and
industrial rivalries. I mean that much greater and
more vital question, how are the men and women
who do the daily labor of the world to obtain pro
gressive improvement in the conditions of their
labor, to be made happier and to be served better
by the communities and the industries which
their labor sustains and advances? How are they
to be given their right advantage as citizens and
human beings?
Capital and labor
"We cannot go any further in our present direc
tion. We have already gone too far. We cannot
live our right life as a nation or achieve our proper
success as an industrial community if capital and
labor are to continue to he antagonistic instead of
being partners; if they are to continue to distrust
one another and contrive how they can get the
better of one another; or, what perhaps amounts
to the same thing, calculate by what form and
degree of coercion they can manage ( to extort on
the one hand work enough to make enterprise
profitable, on the other justice and fair treatment
enough to make life tolerable. That bad road has
turned out a blind alley. It is no thoroughfare to
real prosperity. We must find another, leading in
another direction and to a very different destina
tion. It must lead not merely to accommodation,
but to a genuine co-operation and partnership
