was reached today by the senate in
terstate commerce committee. Cbair
man Cummins announced that the bill will be called up in the senate next
week.
After a further hearing today, however, the committee amended the bill
so as to continue existing telephone
toll rates In effect for 90 days after the wires are turned back instead of
60 days as originally proposed.
Wire Orders Attacked. Mr. Burleson today sent to Chairman Cummins a letter declaring that his order yesterday had been misconstrued, that he had not turned back the wires to private ownership and that no such action was contemplated Postmaster General Burleson's order was attacked today by members of congress, some of whom charged that Mr. Burleson "had passed the buck" because of a threatened nationwide strike of members of the commercial telegraphers' union of America."'', : '. . First steps toward drafting tariff legislation will be begun Tuesday by the house ways aadmeans committee. Chairman Fordney announcing today that hearings would be started then to determine what legislation is necessary to protect the American dye industry that sprang up during the war.

PEACE TERMS BRING DESPAIR, SAYS SEITZ (By Associated Press) VIENNA, June 6. Before leaving this city for a short sojourn in the country where he will take a rest, President Seitz said regarding the terms of peace: "They surely are only proposals.
What a terrible disappointment America is for me. This is driving me to despair. The terms are also bad for the allies ao they mean the feeding of Bolshevism, against which we are helpless, especially from the Hungarians, who are meeting with new military successes. I have no power to enforce such terms upon the population of German-Austria and it will be dangerous for the man who signs them." Dr. Karl Renner, head of the German-Austrian peace mission will attempt to secure a verbal discussion of the terms at St. Germain.

Close Discussion. Hope is expressed in nea.ee con
ference circles in Paris that the al
lied rejoinder to the German counter proposals will be ready for presentation Monday. It Is understood that
with this reply the Germans also will receive notification that . the discussion of the terms has been finally closed and will be given a period of not less than three days, or more than five In which to accept or reject the treaty. If this plan Is carried out therefore, it seems probable that Germany's decision will be made known not later than next Saturday, June 14. Reports from Paris indicate that immediately after receiving the allied reply, Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, chief of the German delegation, will leave Versailles for Berlin, where he will hold a final consultation with Phllipp Scheldemann, the chancellor. Should Germany decide to sign the treaty the count will return to Versailles, but should Germany determine upon a rejection of the terms, notification of that fact will be sent to the peace conference from Berlin. Renew Austrian Case. Dispatches state that the council of four has reached a decision to re
fuse Germany's request that a fixed sum for reparation be indicated in the treaty. There seemed recently to be a well defined sentiment in the council to accede to this request, only Premier Clemenceau being known to object to granting that concession. Nothing is known as to the reason for the council's refusal to name the sum, which, news reports had forecast at approximately $25,000,000,000. Austrian peace activities seem likely to, be renewed at St. Germain tomorrow.

BERLIN, Thursday, June 5. Reports that Dr. Karl Helferich, former vice-chancellor, had made a severe attack on Dr. Bernhard- Dernburg, minister of finance in connection with
the German counter proposals are denied by the Vossische Zeitung. The newspaper says that the person who was assailed by Dr. Helfferich was a Hamburg citizen who was a member of a sub-committee of the peace delegation at Versailles and who is said to have been responsible for persuading the cabinet and peace delegation to offer an indemnity of 100,000,000,000 marks.

(By Associated Press) COBLENZ, June 6. American authorities here have sent word (.to the over-president of the Rhine province to ignore orders from Berlin transferring him to another province, the Americans believing that this move was a political one and connected with Berlin's efforts to counteract the movement for the establishment of a Rhenish republic. It was declared in
Wiesbaden on Sunday that Berlin had also ordered the removal of the overpresident of the Treves district and that the Americans had instructed this official to ignore his instructions from Berlin.
Just what bearings the German government's endeavors to change offi
cials at this time has on the republi
can movement, Americans are not certain. Five political parties in this city have combined in issuing a proclamation protesting against the separation of the Rhinelands from Germany.

the correspondent of the Berlin Gazette, and which he whimsically terms "tropical madness." That is an ailment known to French foreign legionaries as "caford." The first to be affected was a surgeon who fell ill with a raging toothache and intense nervousness. Then a councillor attached to the delegation caught the strange malady and insisted on having a gramophone played during conferences he attended. He wanted American records principally. Many members of the delegation began to suffer pains in the back and
