gates at Paris.
GERMANS STILL PROTESTING
Ebert and Scheidemann Insist Treaty
Must Not Be Signed, and Allies
Get Ready for Further Action
—Kolchak Plans to Crush
Soviet Armies.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD.
The allied peace delegates at Paris
were occupied last week mainly in pre
paring to hand out to Austria what is
coming to her, and in listening to the
wails, official and unofficial, of the
Germans over the treaty that awaits
their signature.
Austria’s delegates, headed by Chan
cellor Karl Itenner, were received and
hmiSAfl nt St (Jormnln Th»‘V Wt*l*P
treated with a good deal more cordial
ity than were the Germans at Ver
sailles, and were given quarters in
pleasant villas that overlook the Seine
valley and Paris, with no high fences
or sentries to restrict their move
ments. In return, the Austrians ap
peared in good humor and hopeful of
lenient treatment, and seemed to ap
preciate the good nature displayed by
the cosmopolitan crowd of journalists
and others that met them. Chancel
lor Renner spoke in German hut ex
plained that this was because he was
unable to speak French, his courtesy
in this contrasting with the behavior
of Count von Brockdorff-Unntzau tit
Versailles. In responding to the
greetings of the nllies’ representatives
he said: “I hope I may go away with
as joyful a heart os I bring.” Other
members of the delegation Intimated,
none too strongly, thnt they would not
he able to sign the treaty unless It
provided for the union of German Bo
hemia and German Tyrol with Ger
many. It Is assumed they will accept
the pact even If that annexation is
not permitted.

Many thousand* *1
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman’*
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,,
ofHayne, N.C. “> could1
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,"
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, and
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr. - had us
get Cardui. . . I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health wer*
about gone.”

The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: 411

owe it to Cardui, for 1 was
In dreadful condition.”
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or Euffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it meaaa

In some ways the treaty with Aus
trta. it Is said, will be like that with
Germany. Austria Is to lose her en
tile gnnvy, according to the reports,
and there is little doubt that when her
new boundaries are delimited she will
find that her southern frontier Is push
ed bade so far that Ttal.v will have
not only the Trentlno and Trieste, but
also all the strategic pusses and
heights In the Alps which the Italians
say are necessary to their future se
curity. This is In accordance with
the secret treaty of London. In the
matter of reparation Austria of course
will be required to pay certain sums,
but these will be small in comparison
with those demanded from the Ger
mans. Tile clauses concerning water
ways are much like those In the Ger
man treaty. The breaking up of the
i Austro-Hungarian empire has result
ed in reducing Austria to a rather
small fourth rate power without direct
access to the sea, and It is the aim of
at least some of the allied nations to
keep her In that condition. By her
self she Is comparatively harmless;
united with Germany, she would help
largely to make up a nation that might
again threaten the'pence of the world.
Von Rrockdorffltantzau and his
colleagues on the German delegation,
together with their numerous experts,
have been ns busy as bees formulat
ing objections to the German treaty.
Several <<f these were transmitted to
the allies Inst week and most of them
were rather summarily answered, and
dismissed. These formal objections
were considered mere preliminary
skirmishes, and meanwhile the Ger
mans were preparing elaborate coun
ter-proposals. These, it Is said, would
contain two dominant diplomatic fea
tures nn exaltation of the league Of
nations idea, and a vigorous demand
that there he u “pure application” of
Wilson’s fourteen points. The latter
ts (irsicned t.> win favor In America
find to cronto a broach between the
Americans and their allies A strong
play also will he made to secure the
sympathy of Socialists all over the
world for what the liun leaders call
the German Socialist state.
One of the most seriously taken of
the German objections was to the
treaty terms concerning labor reforms,
and with it was sent a draft of an
International agreement on labor law.
To this the allies replied at length,
showing that the treaty fully covered
all the points raised and that Its pro
visions were more satisfactory than
those In the German proposition,
wherefore the allied and associated
governments are “of the opinion thnt
their decisions give satisfaction to the
anxiety which the German delegate
professes for social justice and Insure
the realization of reforms which the
working classes have more than ever
a right to expect after the cruel trial
to which the world has been subjected
during the last five years.”
Yet another German note dealt with
the economic aspect of the peace
terms, declaring that If enforced they
would bring death to “many millions
of people in Germany, all the more
quickly as the nation’s health is al
ready broken bv the blockade."
While these diplomatic exchanges
were going on, President Ebert, Ohan
oellor Scheldernann and others were
Inflaming the German people with vio
lent denunciations of the treaty and
declarations thnt Germany never
would submit to It. All of them harp
ed on the alleged abandonment of the
fourteen points by the allies, and Pres
ident Wilson was bitterly attacked as
a traitor to mankind and a weakling
who has betrayed the trust that had
been reposed in him by the people
of Germany. President Ebert told Ids
applauding hearers that be feared an
outbreak of “psychic furor tcutonl
ous witnin u rew days and tun* ni"
wrath of the soul of the people when
It reached the hulling point would
know no bounds ns n result of the deep
disappointment and anger born of fury
and Just Indignation.
The position taken by the govern
incnt heads Is supported by all far
tions except the Independent Social
ists—Haase's crowd- who. while de
claring the treaty oppressive, advise
that It he signed. This may he ex
plained hy the probability that If the
treaty Is signed flu* present govern
ment will he forced to give way to one
made up of independent Socialists.
The protests of the Hermans against
the pact and their harping on the four
teen points also were Indorsed hy a
convention of Socialists in I’aris and
by the Women’s International Con
ference for Permanent Peace, in ses
sion at Zurich. The resolution adopt
ed hy the women was propos ni hy
Mrs. Philip Snowden of England and
seconded hy Miss Jeannette Rankin,
former member of congress from Mon
tana.
Despite protests, denunciations aftd
wailing, it was still the opinion of the
well-informed n Paris that the Her
mans woti’d sign the treaty before the
expiration of the period of grace al
lowed them. The possibility that they
would persist in their refusal, how
ever, has been amply provided for and
the plans of the allies In that con
tingency are complete. Marshal 1’och
already has him sent to the P.o'nc
land by the council of four to take
such military action as may be neces
sary and tin' council also has made Its
plans for the immediate ro-imposltlon
of the blockade on (Icnmuiy. At Co
blenz Heneral Pershing said the Amer
ican army of occupation was ready to
do its part, whatever that might he.

Negotiations between the Italian
delegation and the other allies over
the settlement of the Adriatic dispute
were still In progress when this v. as i
written. "In progress,” however, may '
he misleading, for they did not sc. n»
to he getting ahead much. The Ital
ians were said to be yielding as to
some of the clauses of the London
treaty, hut President Wilson, accord
ing to reports, was as adamant in re
gard to Flume. Anyhow, the plan to
internationalize that port for several
years had not proved acceptable. The
Italians have landed large military
forces at Sebonlco and Zara, ports on
the Dalmatian coast between Flume
and Spalato. Appeals art1 made by
the Italians to America not to assume
the role of ati oppressor of “millions
of Italians desiring to reunite with
their mother country,” and at the
same time America and all things
American are being reviled throughout
Italy,
Premier Paderewski, returning from
Paris to Warsaw, was greeted first by
an attempt on his life by two bolshev
ists and then by a mammoth demon
stration by his fellow countrymen, who
are grateful for Ids efforts at the
pence conference. The Poles are high
ly pleased by the placing of the free
city of Danzig under their control In
stead of that of Germany, though they
right. The Silesian boundary settle
ment also suits them, but not the Si
lesians, who are said to lie planning
an armed revolt against annexation !•■
Poland and asking aid from Germany,
The Poles and the Ukrainians are SHid
to have agreed to unit fighting eaoh
other, though later reports told of a
defeat o’ the former by the latter in ;
the vicinity of Lemberg.
In eastern Russia Admiral Kolchak,
head of the Omsk government, is mak
ing plans for a great advance designed
to establish communication with the
Archangel forces on the north and
those of General Denoklne on the
south and to effectually crush the
soviet armies. As a starter he has
captured Samara, an Important city.
He says he will move in the direction
of Moscow and that the capture of
that bolshevik capital will he his chief
aim. What he asks from the allies is
armament, munitions, material and
clothing. After his final victory, he
declares, a national assembly will he
called to which he will hand over his
authority. The bolshevik! have met
further defeats at the hands of Pet
lura's Ukrainians, and revolts against
their rule have broken out in the gov
ernments of Kiev, Tehernigov and
Poltava.
Tchltcherln, bolshevlst foreign min
ister, has announced that the holslie
vlki will not consent to stop hostilities
as a condition of the provisioning of
Russia by neutrals, arid the anti bol
shevlst leaders declare that this plan,
proposed by Doctor Nansen, is no so
lution of the Russian question.
China Is still holding out on the
pence treaty because of the Shantung
clause, and her delegates recently re
ceived warnings from the people of
that territory that they would sign
the pact at the peril of their lives.
Ronmnnlu also lias Joined those na
tions that have a grievance. Her dele
gates threaten to holt the peace con
ference unless the decision of the
council of ten to divide Rnnnt between
Roumanla and Serbia is modified.
Roumania’s record since the outbreak
of the war has not been such ns to
entitle her to the special consideration
of any nation or group of nations.
The plans for the trial and punish
ment of the former kaiser are not
going smoothly. They contemplate
the assumption of the role of com
plainant by some one of the allied na
tions, and It was presumed Belgium
would so act. But Belgium, perhaps
because It Is a kingdom, declines, and
no other has yet volunteered. Hol
land has not decided to surrender Wil
liam for trial, the Dutch government
contending that at present the ques
tion concerns only Germany and the
CUl rjll I'.
One uT the it.ost Impressive ceremo
nies Incident to the war was the recep
tion by tile British of the remains of
Edith fiavell, "he nurse the Germans
murdered in Belgium, und the public
funeral services in Westminster abbey.
High officials and representatives of
foreign governments attended, as well
as a great throng of citizens, and the
streets around the abbey were (Hied
with an immense throng of those who
sought to do reverent homage to the
brave woman.
