GERMAN ENVOYS
SPEED TO WEIMAR
WITH THE REPLY
Teuton Foreign Minister and;
Delegates Bear Final Answer :
to the National Assembly
Versailles, June 17.—The reply of
the Allied and associated govern
ments to Germany's counter-pro
posals of the Peace Treaty and a
revised copy of the Peace Treaty
to-day are in the hands of Count
\ on Broekdorff-Rantzau, on his way
to Weimar, to present to the Ger
man National Assembly th% final
word of the victors in the war.
Few changes have been made in
the revised Peace Treaty. Five days
was the allotted period fixed for the
Germans to answer yea or nay to
the demands of the Allies, but two
days additional have' been granted
on insistent pleas. This will extend
the time limitation to Monday-
June 23.
With the revised Treaty, contain
ing interlineations in red ink, where
changes had been made in it, was a
covering note written by Premier
Clemenceau, president of the Peace
Conference.
Without ostentation, Paul Dutasta,
general secretary of the Peace Con
ference, at 6.49 o'clock last even
ing, placed the revised draft of the
Treaty and the note in the hands
of Gernlan Legation Secretary Si
mon and Baron Von Loersner, with
whom M. Dutasta held a conversa
tion lasting for several minutes, ex
plaining the nature of the instru
ment and the length of time allotted
for the Germans to reply. Hen-
Simon protested against the short
time allotted Germany to make
known her intentions.
M. Dutasta arrived in Versailles
by automobile from Paris at 6.20
o'clock, carrying the momentus
document in two parcels wrapped in
prosaic brown paper. He was re
ceived by Colonel Henry, master of
ceremonies at Versailles, and offi
cers of the Allied missions and don
ducted to the reading room of the
Hotel Reservoirs.
Here the party was grouped along
one side of the room. In front of M.
Dutasta was a large marble-topped
table, upon which the documents
were placed In two piles. There
was a considerable wait before Le
gation Secretary Simon and Baron
Von Loersner arrived, escorted by
two French officers. The Germans
took their place at the other side
of the table.
At 6.49 o'clock Herr Simon in
formally reached across the table
and took the documents and hand
ed them to Baron Von Loersner. this
actually constituting the formal re
ceipt of the Treaty and the ulti
matum. A receipt from the Ger
mans for the doeumenet was re
quired by M. Dutasta.
After the brief conversation be
tween M. Dutasta and Herr Simon,
the Germans returned to their
apartment in the hotel. Von Loers

his arm in a green portfolio. Later
Count Von Broekdorff-Rantzau |
boarded a train for Weimar, taking
the documents with him.
Mammoth of Lena Delta
Dug Their Own Graves!
In the region of the Lena delta, in
far northern Siberia, according to an
old tradition, there is a gigantic spe
cies of mole which, burrowing under
ground. dies if by chance exposed to
! light. It has enormous tusks, and the
half-savage nomads- of the country
sometimes use strips of its thick hide
for reindeer harness. Truth to tell,
the "mole" is the long extinct man
moth, and the last surviving specimen
perished long before the earliest dawn j
of human history. Indeed, it may very
well be that 100,000 years have passed
since the youngest mammoth walked
the earth. In their day these huge
mammals roamed in herds all over
northern —Siberia, where the climate
was mild and salubrious. But there

one of the great carcasses—the meat

found on the Tas river, between the

fect as if the animal had been killed
only a day or two earlier. To the
northeast of the mouth of the Lena,
which is one of the great rivers of
the world, rising in eastern Siberia
and flowing northward to the Arctic
ocean, is a group of islands which
must formerly have been connected
