ALLIED REPLY TO PROPOSALS jEADV TODAY

in detail. ^The session was attended by the revision commission, Irhich earlier had completed its work.

The special train, which was prepared at Versailles for the Germans, was made ready upon the request of Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, who signified his intention of leaving, as soon as the reply was presented.

BERLIN, June 16.—A canvass of official quarters qualified to speak for absent government officials this afternoon adduced the blunt, positive statement that unless the revised proposals of the. entente nations contain most radical modifications in spirit and i»* letter, Germany would not sign the peace treaty.

While the postponed delivery of the entente reply was looked upon as a favorable omen, although one dangling from the most slender thread, it may be said that the government, so far as it is still represented in Berlin, is rot indulging in the luxury of undue illusions as to what the next 48 hours will bring forth.

Alleged modifications in the draft of the treaty as reported to "Berlin through neutral news sources are rejected in official' quarters here as wholly insufficient to warrant the prediction that the government will be inclined to subject them to closer scrutiny.

Emphasis was also placed on the statement that the cabinet which now is fully represented at Weimar, was absolutely united in its attitude and that there was no prospect of an Internal division which might break up the present government and produce a new ministry.

The latter declaration appears to have been prompted by recurring reports that Mathias Erzberger, chairman of the German armistice commission, was willing to take over the Job of concluding peace. It was also pointed out that the peace commission of the .national assembly which took an active part in the German counter proposals, was solidly backing up the cabinet in its determination to refuse to sign any pact not representing the greatest possible divergence from the original proposals.

In view of this alleged solidarity, political onlookers here are unable to ftpure out how Erzberger can possibly create an unexpectedly new situation. Erzberger has been brushing aside these runftrs disposing of them by referring to_ the fact that the present coalition government is not only intact but holds an undisputed mandate from the German people and from the national assembly which is thoroughly representative of the peoples' will. On the other hand, he has not as yet made an unequivocal denial of the rumor that he is contemplating quitting the cabinet, nor has he definitely declared that he is in complete harmony with the cabinet's peace policies.

ALLIES MAKE PUBLIC FOE REPLY TO TERMS

Germany Maintains That Enemies Have Forsaken the Ifcace of Jui* iice Promised In Armistice.

i PARIS, June 16.—The German reply to the peace treaty, submitted at Versailles on May 7, maintains that the enemies of Germany have forsaken the peace of justice to which they had pledged themselves ill the armistice negotiations for a peace of might.

The reply, an official summary of which was made public here Sunday, protests against the proposed terms individually and collectively, and demands a return to the orilginal agreements. It presses for verbal negotiations, and states that Germany expects Justice on a basis of equality and reciprocity.

(The reply follows the lines of the summary of the German counter proposals given out in Berlin at about the time they were presented.)

The document covers 119 pages and includes a covering letter by Count Von Brockdorff-Rantzau, under date of May 29, which has already been published and a second section of comments following the main outline of the original draft. Two separate papers on legal and financial questions are included as part of the general reply. Both English and French translations have been furnished in pamphlet form, the former totaling about 60,000 words.

The reply begins with a detailed analysis of the legal basis of peace, alleges a flagrant series of contradictions to this basis and points out that the results would be the -complete enslavement of the German people and the betrayal of all the world's cherished hopes of peace.

In the counter proposals Germany demands immediate admission to the League of Nations as part of the spirit of the armistice agreement, and as necessary for the acceptance of the proposed military, naval and air terms. She then analyzes the territorial changes demanded, claiming that the right of self-determination has been wilfully violated throughout.

Germany bitterly assails the abolition of all German rights outside of Europe as irreconcilable with the preliminary negotiations and as wholly Impossible to a great people, who not only have supreme needs for markets and supplies, but who have shown themselves capable of sharing the world's task of colonization.

Declines Responsibility.

Germany is wholly unable to accept the reparations commission set up by' the allies as involving an infringement of its sovereignty, but proposes a German commission to work alongside it. It accepts responsibility only for civilian losses ia occupied Belgium and France, and agrees to maximum payments of 100,000,001),000 marks, provided the other terms, as to coiCHiies, overseas trade and territories are accepted as she proposes.

As to deliveries of ships, rW materials and machinery, Germany can meet the allied claims only in part, largely because decreased production.

Germany demands that in the economic conditions that she be treated on a basis of equality and reciprocity and not in the one-sided way outlined. She figrees to freedom of traffic on German rivers and within Germany, but always on condition that there be no Interference with German sovereignty. Similarly, with the renewal of treaties lapsed through the war, she expects reciprocal treatment, rather than the assumption by the allies of the right to say what engagements are or are not to become operative again.

Trial of Kaises Refused.

The Germans refuse to accept the trial of the former German emperor or to sanction his extradiction from Holland, on the ground that no German subject can be brought before a foreign court without an established law or legal basis. Similarly, it cannot agree to extradite other subjects accused of violations of the laws and customs of war.

Instead Germany proposes an inters national court of neutrals to judge the fact of crime, the punishment to remain with the national courts.

The labor clauses are not satisfac^ tory to Germany, and as a result she again proposes an international conference to examine the allied and associated proposals, the German proposals and the Berne resolutions. A bitter protest is entered against the occupation of the Rhine provinces and the demand made tiiat all allied troops be withdrawn within six months of peace. The occupation as proposed, it is contended, would break up German economic life and allow the prejudicing of German interests in favor of France and Belgium.

The summary makes no attempt to criticize any statements of facts or figures in the reply, inasmuch as the German delegation alone is responsible for them. It is stated that many of them, especially as to the eastern frontier, are disputable, if not absolutely incorrect,

CASE IS CONTINUED.

Lawyer Fails to Show and Hearing Is Postponed. Failure of Amos H. South's lawyer to appear in City Court caused another continuance to be in the case for failure to provide. When South's case was called, he said his lawyer had not appeared and began to ask the prosecutor what he should do about it, as he did not want to lose any more work or sleep. He was given an opportunity to have trial at the time, but preferred waiting.

N'o finding was made ^n the charge against Leonard C. Vandevener when he showed that he had been paying in excess of $7.50 a week to the support of his child, his wife supporting herself.

Derle Wilson, who was given a fine and penal farm sentence Saturday, had them suspended during the session and was told to report to Mrs. Zimmerman, police matron, who was given charge of the case.

Mexfeo In Full Accord.

WASHINGTON, June 16.—There can be no misunderstanding between the governments of the United States ana Mexico regarding the movement of troops across the border at El Paso, Secretary Baker said today. The sole purpose, he said, was protecting the American side of the border, and there is a distinct understanding between the governments for such action.

Mr. Baker issued this formal statement: "There fs nO- possibility of a misunderstanding between the republic of Mexico and the United States with regard to the protection of life on the American side. In many instances previously it has been necessary for the American forces very briefly to cross the border to disperse bandit forces. The sole purpose of the American soldier .is to protect liXe oa the American side."
