Paris, May li. The German
delegation announces the dispatch
of a fifth note which probably will
reach the French foreign office to
night and will be delivered to the
council of four tomorrow morning.
' Berlin, May 13. The declara
tion by Chancellor Scheidemann in
the national assembly Monday that
the peace terms were "unaccept
able" brought the members of the
assembly, the spectators and tjiose
in the press gallery to their feet in
a hurricane or cheers and applause.
The chancellor reached the cli
max or his statement on the peace
terms 10 minutes after he began.
The chancellor paused in his ad
dress and then thundered out the
words which announced the Ger
man government's rejection of the
Versailles conditions.
"This treaty," he said, "is in the
view of the imperial government
unacceptable, so unacceptable I am
unable to believe that this earth
could bear such a document with
out a cry issuing from millions and
millions of throats In all lands.
without distinction of party. Away
with this murderous scheme!"
With the exception of the inde
pendent socialists, led by Huge
Haase, all factions in the assembly
arose and cheered vociferously.
