London, May 30. Harry G.

"The Americans misunderstood
my point. I was not criticizing
their attempt. It is impossible to

wish to have battleships supplied by
the government along the route.
"My remarks were intended for
thos: who were criticizing the gov
ernment for not supplying them. I
wish the Americans the very best of
luck. Their flights have been beauti
fully organized jobs from beginning

DECLARES
PRESIDENT
Private Councils of Statesmen
Will No Longer Determine
Destinies, Says Wilson in
Memorial Address.
Paris, jMay 30. The day of secret
councils is past because "the peo
ples of the world are in the saddle,"
President Wilson declared in his
Memorial day address in the Amer
ican cemetery at Suresnes. The
private councils of statesmen, he ad
ded, will no longer determine the
destinies of nations.
An earnest defense of the league
of nations was a prominent note of
the president's address. He said
he looked for the time when a man
who failed to support the league
would be as ashamed as the man
who opposed the union of the
states after the civil war.
The president's address was de
livered in the presence of thousands
of American soldiers and many ci
vilians and the official representa
tives of the French government, in
cluding Marshal Foch.
Message from Clemenceau.
Before President Wilson began
his speech, a message to the presi
dent from Premier Clemenceau,
dealing with the fellowship between
the French and Americans, was read.
The letter begins:
"Faithful to noble tradition, the
living army renders homage to the
dead army, and all France has as
sociated itself with this homage."
After comparing the Americans
who have fallen in France with the
French who fell in America, M.
Clemenceau continues:
"France will ever cherish their
memories. With America, France
will preserve in p'eace as an inspira
tion and example an undying re
membrance of their enthusiasm, dis
cipline and courage. We see the
wreaths on their tombs, and will
take care of them as piously and
gratefully as the tombs of our own
soldiers."
Address of the President.
The president's address follows:
"These men who lie here are men
of unique breed. Their like has not
been seen since the far days of cru
sades. Never before have men
crossed the seas to a foreign land
to fight for a cause of humanity
which they did not pretend was
particularly theirs, but knew it was
the cause of humanity and of man
kind. And when they came they
found comrades for their courage
and their devotion. They found
armies of liberty already in the
field men who, though they had
gone through three years of fierce
trial, seemed only to be just dis
covering, not for a moment losing,
the high temper of the great affairs;
men seasoned in the bloody service
of liberty. Joining hands with
these, the men of America gave that
greatest of all gifts, the gift of life
and the gift of spirit.
A Treasured Memory.
"It will always be a treasured
memory on the part of those who
knew and loved these men that the
testimony of everybody who saw
them in the field of action was
their unflinching courage, their
ardor to the point of audacity, their
full consciousness of the high cause
they had come to serve and their
constant vision of the issue. It is
delightful to learn from those who
saw these men fight and saw them
waiting in the trenches for the sum
mons to the fight that they had a
touch of the high spirit of religion,
that they knew they were exhibiting
a spirit as well as a physical might,
and those of us who knew and love
America know that they were dis
covering to the whole world the
true spirit and devotion of their
motherland. It was America who
came in the person of these men.
and who will forever be grateful
that it was so represented.
"And it is the more delightful to
entertain these thoughts because we
know that these men, though buried
in a foreign land, are not buried in
an alien soil. They are at home,
sleeping with spirits of those who
thought the same thoughts and en
tertained the same aspirations. The
noble women- of Suresnes have
given evidence of the loving sense
with which they received these dead
as their own, f6r they have cared
for their graves, they have made it
their interest, their loving interest,
to see that there was no hour of
neglect and that constantly through
all the months that have gone by
the mothers at home should know
that there were mothers here who
remembered and honored their
dead.
New 'Understanding.
"You have just heard in the beau
tiful letter from Monsieur Clemen

message of France to us on a day
like this, a message of genuine -comradeship,

American Soldiers on Way
Home Stop to Pay Homage to
Comrades Buried in France
Romagne, France, May 30. (By
the Associated Press.) Americian
fighting men, homeward bound,
paused today to pay tribute to the
memory of the Argonne dead
roughly 30,000 of them many of
whom were buried on the battlefield
where they fell.
The principal exercises were held
at the 25-acre Argonne cemetery on
the outskirts of Romagne, the larg
est American burial ground in
Europe. General Pershing made the
principal address here, where 9,572
officers and men are buried. Of
these only 160 remain unidentified.
Argonne cemetery lies on the side
of a gently sloping hill just outside
Romagne, on ground captured by
the 32d division late in October last.
Each grave was decorated with an
American flag and a wreath of ever
greens from the Argonne forest.
Twenty thousand men who fell in
America's greatest battle in France
are yet to be moved from where
they now sleep to this cemetery.
In the Argonne cemetery there lie
NC-4 FORGED TO
SPEND NIGHT ON
BAY OFJERROL
Engine Trouble Prevents Com
pletion of Transatlantic
Flight; May Continue to
Plymouth Today.
Washington, May 30. Motor
trouble, which caused the NC-4 to
be regarded as the "lame duck" of
the American transatlantic flight
squadron until she left Trepassey
bay, Newfoundland, prevented com
pletion today of its voyage from
Lisbon to Plymouth. After covering
100 miles of the last leg of the history-making
flight, the seaplane was
forced to descend at the Mondego
river and it was held there too
late to reach England.
With his engines repaired. Lieu
tenant Commander Albert C. Read
drove his plane 225 miles to Ferrol,
Spain, where he moored for the
night, ready to get away early to
morrow, if weather conditions were
favorable. The course to be cov
ered measures only a little more
than 450 miles and, if all goes well,
the NC-4 should be in the English
harbor before 9 a. m., Washington
time. Commander Read reported
after landing in the Mondego river
that he had to await high tide before
starting again.
Lands at Ferrol.
When the NC-4 finally floated
again and was once more in the air
at 13.28 G. M. T. (9:28 a. m., Wash
ington time), Lieutenant Command
er Read searched the coast for a
safe harbor in which to spend the
night and finallv landed at Ferrol at
4:35 G. M. T. (2.35 p. m., Washing
ton time).
Today's delay caused considerable
anxiety to both the American and
British officials, but this was quick
ly relieved by a message from the
commander of the NC-4 asking that
the destroyers along his route keep
their stations. Keen disappointment
was expressed on all sides when it
was learned that the NC-4 had been
compelled to alight after flying ap
proximately 100 miles from Lisbon.
The arrangements forLieutenant
Commander Read's reception will be
carried out with but slight alteration
if he arrives tomorrow. The royal
air force stationed at Plymouth has
offered facilities for dismantling the
NC-4, which, under present plans,
will be shipped to the United States
on the mine layer Aroostook.

AUSTRIAN PACT
IS REMARKABLE
FOR OMISSIONS
Skeleton of Treaty Featured
by Many Blank Sheets;
Clauses Deal Mainly
With Frontiers.
Paris, May 30. (By the Associat
ed Press.) A summary of t!ie skel
eton cf the Austrian treaty sub
mitted to the smaller nations Thurs
day for examination is remarkable
chiefly for its omissions and reser
vations. Subject heading after sub
ject heading is followed either by a
noncofiimittal display bf;blank paper
or by the statement: "This clause
reserved."
This applies particularly to defi
nition of the southern frontier, the
reparations clauses and the question
of Italian rights under the political
clauses. The greater part of the
summary, in fact, is devoted to those
clauses which are practically iden
tical with the Germany treaty.
Deal With Frontiers.
The new clauses are chiefly those
dealing with frontiers, finance and
the internal affairs of the new states
and of Austria itself. Under the
latter heading come the disputed
provisos for the protection of racial
minorities in the new states, against
which it is understood the repre
sentatives of the new states may ad
dress a protest to the council of four
and also ask for revision of the fi
nancial clauses, particularly that
part requiring the new states to
compensate Austria for public prop
erty. Austria also is bound by the trea
ty to respect the rights and priv
ileges of racial minorities in what
is left to her of her ancient domains,
including the right to use their own
languages, although Austria is ex
pressly authorized to make the
teaching of German obligatory.
The treaty will consist of a pre
amble and 14 parts, the preamble
and section one embodying the cov
enant of the league of nations, as in
the treaty with Germany.
Provide for Minor Changes.
Part two deals with frontiers.
That with Czecho-Slovakia follows
practically the old Bohemian fron
tier, although the reservation of a
possibility of making minor changes
later, Austria retains on the west
her old frontier with Switzerland,
the question of the union of Voral
berg with - Switzerland having ap
parently been dropped, despite the
plebiscites already undertaken in
that province and Switzerland. The
southern frontier is not determined
in the treaty.
Part three contains political
clauses, including also some of the
reserved geographical provisos, and
clauses establishing mixed commis
sions to determine them later. The
sections referring to Italy are all
omitted. Others deal with the fu
ture relations of Austria with
Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Po
land, Hungary and Russia. Here are
found the stipulations for the pro
tection of racial minorities which so
far as the minorities in Austria are
concerned, are to be embodied in a
"bill of rights" as part of the Aus
trian constitution.
Former French Premier
Faints During Discussion
Paris, May 30. Alexander Ribot,
former premier and foreign min
ister and long" identified with the
political affairs of France, suffered
a fainting spell during the discus
sion on financial matters in the sen
ate today but later recovered suffi
ciently to continue his address.
M. Ribot said the country wanted
to know what Germany was going
to pay and in what measure would
be realized by the allies of France
the principle of financial solidarity
accepted by them in 1914 and 1915.
MOILS
REVOLT OF
LABOR IN
IS
SPREADING
Minister at Toronto Thinks
Aim Is to Overthrow Gov
ernment; Says Movement
Deserves No Sympathy.
Winnipeg, Man., May 30. Arbi
tration of the differences between
the Metal Trades council of Win
nipeg and the leading industrial
employes was officially begun this
afternoon at an hour when tension
caused by the general strike dead
lock, which began May 15, seemed
to be approaching the breaking
point.
For the first time since the gen
eral walkout, crowds of idle men
paraded through the business dis
tricts jeering persons who were do
ing work usually performed by un
ion men. Some of these marchers
joined a delegation of returned sol
diers who paraded to the parliament
building and insisted that the gov
ernment "do something at once."
The men were told that the govern
ment was considering the advisibil
ity of legislation to enforce the prin
ciple of collective bargaining and
that the offer of mediation by exec
utives of the railway brotherhoods
had been accepted by the leading
forces concerned.
The demonstration dispersed after
these announcements were made,
but told Premier T. C. Norris that
they would march to parliament
again at 11 a. m. tomorrow.
Change Program.
Success of the railway brother
hoods in initiating the first move
ment toward actual arbitration made
since the strike began caused city
officials to make changes in the pro
gram arranged for today. Nothing
was done regarding resumption of
street car service. The matter of
immediate dismissal of policemen
who refused to sign the anti-sympathetic
strike pledge was left for de
cision at a special council meeting
this evening.
About 100 regular firemen have
returned to work, it was announced
at the office of city fire commis
sioner. Announcement was made at
Mayor Charles F. Gray's office that
450 of the city's 1,000 employes who
went on strike have been reinstated
and that a few others have applied
for their former positions.
Senator Gideon Robertson, federal
minister of labor, today sent the fol
lowing message to the mayors of
Fort William and Port Arthur. Ont.:
"It is currently reported that a
joint meeting of Fort William and
Port Arthur trades councils has been
called for this afternoon for the
purpose of taking sympathetic ac
tion with Winnipeg workmen now
on strike.
Deserve No Sympathy.
"After carefully going into the
whole situation here since last
Wednesday, I am fully convinced
that the general strike at Winnipeg
deserves no sympathy from organ
ized labor outside. The underlying
motive in --calling the strike is, in
my opinion, undoubtedly intended to
be a blow at international trade
unions and in support of the One
Big Union movement, and with the
probable intention of seeking to
overthrow constitutional affairs and
government, both as to federal, pro
vincial and municipal affairs."
Strike Begun In Toronto
Toronto, Ont., May 30. Orders
for the sympathetic strike to begin
today to aid the striking metal
workers who are demanding a 44
hour week, higher wages and im
proved shop conditions, were obey
ed by a large number of unionists in
Toronto. The city employes have
not yet quit, nor have the federal
government's employes on the rail
roads, or street railwaymen.
The mayor has sent out an ap
peal to the citizens, asking for main
tenance of the peace. A committee
of 10,000 persons is being organized,
it was stated this evening, to help
local authorities in the. event of
need.
Utilities Maintained.
Ottawa, Ont., May 30. In a state
ment today defining the attitude of
the Canadian- government toward
strikes now in progress in the Do
minion, Sir Robert Borden, prime
minister, declared that despite "un
fortunate labor difficulties in a few
cities," public utilities are still being
maintained and, except for a brief
period in one ,city, the public has
suffered no serious inconvenience.
There have been no riots, the state
ment added.

Huns Must Accept Peace
Treaty In End, Declares
Former French Preimer
Owing to Numerous Translations and Clash of An
tagonistic Ideas, Pact Cannot Be Ideal Document
Will Prepare Way for League of Nations and Sub

By RENE VIVIANI.
Former Premier of France.
Former Premier of France.
(Written Kiprrsnly for Universal Service.)
Paris, May 30. We are now ap
proaching the end of the long drama,
the development of which has been
followed by public opinion with
patience and resignation.
The last act, now being played at
Versailles, may offer some few sur
prises but these need all call for the
display of great emotion and need
not delay the ringing down of the
curtain upon the drama of war.
The peace treaty, while it has been
drawn with care and precision, is not
an ideal document; it could not be
because it is the product of numer
ous translations and the outgrowth
of a clash antagonistic ideas.
A spirit of conflict has shown its
ugly face throughout the general
discussion. The last dispute and one
of the most serious, that growing
out of the Adriatic question, has at
last been settled amicably.
Most Important Question.
The important question now, there
fore, is, will Germany accept the
amended proposals to be laid before
her delegates in the palace of Ver
sailles, where the moral and material
ruin of our nation was consumnrated
by Bismarck in 1.V1? It is the irony
of fate that a humiliated, although
impenitent Germany, had to come
to this same palace to register her
defeat.
In the end she must accept be
cause she cannot do otherwise. Her
military defeat is complete and as

RANTZAU WILL
NOT SIGN TREATY
IN PRESENT FORM
German Delegate Sends Word
of His Decision to Berlin;
Further Notes Pre
sented to Allies.
Versailles, May 30. (By the As
sociated Press.) Count von Brock-dorff-Rantzau,
addressing Herren,
Giesbert and Landsberg, of the Ger
man peace delegation, before their
departure for Berlin several days
ago, asked them to tell the people
of Berlin that he would not sign the
peace treaty in the form in which it
was presented.
This information has been gath
ered from the peace delegation here.
The Germans are so little satisfied
with the clearness of the counter
proposals they presented to the al
lies that further notes were sent to
the allies to explain parts of the doc
ument. Bound copies of the counter pro
posals to the number of 150 and also
the remaining part of the transla
tions were forwarded to the council
of four today.
A small party of attaches of the
German delegation left for Berlin
tonight. "Another party will depart
tomorrow.
Would Enter League.
Berlin, May 30. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Germany is willing
to agree to the proposed stipulations
regarding its military, aerial and
naval force contained in the draft
of the peace treaty, provided it is
permitted to enter the league of na
tions on an equal footing immedi
ately upon the signing of peace and
particularly that it be permitted
to share in the complete equality
and reciprocity of all nations in the
economic domain.
While the German government, in
agreeing to accept the stipulations
referred to, is thus ready to disarm
before the other powers, the mem
orandum adds, the government
must, on the other hand, demand a
transitional period during which it
may keep the troops necessary for
the maintenance of internal order.
Shocked at Terms.
The "covering note" presented to
the peace conference by thevGerman
delegation says:
"We came to Versailles expecting
to receive a peace proposal framed
according to the agreed basis. We
had a firm resolve to do everything
in our power to fulfill the heavy
obligations assumed by us. We
were shocked when we read in that
document the demands which the
victorious might of our .opponents
had set forth. The more we studied
the spirit of the treaty, the more
we were convinced of the impossi
bility of carrying it out. The' de
mands in this treaty go beyond the
strength of the German people.
Hindenburg to Take Rest.
London, May 30. Field Marshal
von Hindenburg expects soon to go
to Switzerland, where he will take
a long rest, according to a Berlin
dispatch given out by the wireless
press.
TWO CENTS.
the? autocratic militarists, was the
backbone of her resistance, has now
ceased to exist, she perforce must
yield. Undoubtedly she will carry
in her heart a burning desire for re
venge, but will her people permit
themselves to be led into another
war?
Guarantee of Prosperity.
It may be that the downfall of
the old system which was brought
down by determination of the peo
ple to escape from the bonds of mil
itarism and the establishment of a
new government based on principles
of democracy will remove from Ger
many all temptation to engage in
war in the future. If Germany does
not veil her eyes to the light of
truth she will be able to see that in
reciprocal relations with the other
nations of the earth there is to be
found a guarantee of progress and
prosperity.
For the present she is claiming
justice. But where is justice vio
lated in the treaty?
The territories awarded to France
had been stolen by Germany. Jus
tice demands that the robber give
back what he has stolen.
Of Alsace-Lorraine, Germany sets
forth that she made these lands
richer and more prosperous. The
robber can make the claim that he
has added value to the stolen object,
but would that be a reason for not
enforcing restoration?
France Has Complaint.
France, on the contrary, has every
right to complain that .the awards
under the treaty fall far short of re-

SOLDIERS
Amid Uproar of Cheers and
Gun Firing Nebraska Heroes
of Argonne Parade While
En Route to Funston.
After going through the can .
paigns of St. Mihiel and the Ar
gonne, the men of the 355th infantry
and the 341st machine gun battalion
were equal to the stress and strain
of yesterday's reception during their
few hours in Omaha en route from
Camp Upton to Camp Funston.
Although it made their hearts
beat quicker to meet and greet the
home folks once more, it was rather
irksome for the soldiers to march
in their heavy clothing and helmets,
and some carrying rifles. But they
marched willingly because the home
folks had asked it, and they went
on their way, to return in a few days
as civilians again and to resume their
pursuits of peace.
Carry Honors Lightly.
Heroes all, these men of the f!9th
division, they carried their honors
lightly as true westerners, feeling
that they had acquitted, themselves
as it. n and are now anxious, not
for the plaudits of the throng, but
to get home to their kin and loved
ones.
Omaha did itself proud in giving
expression to the deep feeling of
honor and gratitude with which
these defenders of liberty are held.
Music, flowers, creature comfoit
for the inner man. sirens and noises
of all kinds; tender words of wel
come an tnese torms ot welcome,
contributed to make the occasion
a truly "memorable one.
Crowds Were Patient. ,
The reception was observed with
splendid co-operation by the or
ganizations and individuals partici
pating. The trains bearing the 355tli
did not arrive in time to permit
all of the men to march to the High
school grounds at thesame time, but
the crowds were patient and gave
the three sections of the parade a
rousing salvo of applause. -
The machine' gun battalion, which
was parked in the railroad yards
Thursday night, moved in regular
formation from the Union depot at
8:3.0 in the morning to the school
grounds, where relatives and friends
were in waiting. After a wait of an
hour and a half the first section of
the 355th infantry passed over the
parade route, and, about an hour
later the second section of the in
fantry followed, all proceeding ,to
the High school grounds for a good
home "feed."
The machine gun men entrained
at noon for Lincoln; at 1:15 p. m.
the first train of the infantry was
on its way, and at 2:30 p. m. " the
second infantry train was clearing
the yards and on its way to the
capital city. From Lincoln the
three trains proceeded last night to
Camp Funston, where the men will
go through the formalities of beine
discharged from the service.
Great Welcome Home.
The route from Union depot to
high school grounds was a solid lane
of admiring people, anxious to say
"Welcome home" to Nebraska's
boys who did their full measure of
service in the battle fields overseas
These were some of the Americans
who bore the brunt of the fighting
at St. Mihiel and the Argonne.
"The Fighting Farmers," they were
designated along the western front.
The men appreciated the feelings
of the home folks, but they were
not demonstrative. They were
serious and they were frank to say
that the chief thought in their
minds was the thought of returning"
home to stay.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, wives,
sweethearts and others arrived wt
Capitol hill early yesterday morn
ing with supplies of eatables. For
the men who were not otherwise
provided for, luncheon was served
in the basement of the school build
ing. Every provision was arranged
to make the stay at the school
grounds as pleasant as possible.

party in front of the city hall.
The next big feature of the line
of march occurred when the heroes
entered the southeast corner of the
Central High school grounds. This
was, in its way, the prettiest re
ception scene of the line of march.
Three hundred boys and girh of
Central school formed a lane from
the entrance of the ground to the
front of the school. 'The girls,
dressed in white, carried baskets of
flowers, and the boys carried flags.
They held two long chains to mark
the lane.
Two distinguished service crosses
and one Croix de Guerre were worn
by members of the 341st. Sergt.
