REFUSAL TO SIGN HINTED Secrecy As to Provisions Still Main tained bat Speculation Is Rife in Paris. BY HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE. (Copyright br the New Tork World. Pub lished by Amnitmint) . PARIS. 'April 29. (Special cable.) Although the seal of secrecy is set upon the peace terms, sufficient Is known of them to allow comment on their character and speculation as to their reception. In fact, speculation is too mild a word to use with reference to the German atttitude, for that Is fairly well defined In private, but of ft cial reports have been received in Paris from Berlin which show the Germans to be opposed to both the spirit and letter of many phases of the treaty. It is even hinted they may carry thi opposition up to the point of refusal to sign. It was to be expected that the enemy would seek all possible excuses for demanding a modification of the In strument and there is no disposition on the part of the conference to submit to bargainings and technicalities, but, on the other band, the delegates of the allied governments are willing to ex plain questions as to the sections with the view of demonstrating their Justice and their adhesion to President Wil son's 14 points, which are the basis of Arrangement. 8sc Cfcaages Caaeeded. The opinions of those whose opinions are worth hearing agree that It is prob able changes will be made In the text of the covenant between the time It is submitted to the Germans and the time it Is finally signed, but. they add, such changes will Involve no abandon ment of principle, but will be merely alterations In methods of application. Dropping for the moment the ques tion of the Teutonic attitude and view ing It from the standpoint of those elements which have been engaged In its formulation. It Is possible to say that the completed draft will find more rupport than opposition. There are strong Indications that the main body of world opinion will agree that the terms are Just, reasonable and effec tive and that they represent. If not the counsel of perfection, the best that ran be achieved in existing, circum stances. The extremists of tbe right will cry loud lamentations because of the putative weakness or the treaty's con ditions, but It requires no prophetic gift to say they will be outmatched by the liberals, who will see. in certain pas sages, too great severity which. In their eyes, will lead to a spirit of revenge on the part of the defeated nation. WthM Adhere te Poller. President Wilson has steadily ad hered to his announced policy that Germany shall be neither starved nor looted but that Justice shall be done. Yet the pressure of circumstances Is such that he has been forced to accept harsher measures than were at first contemplated harsher from the posi tion of the future but necessary be cause of Immediate problems. Carefully organised for the purpose, there will be a vast outcry throughout tiermany over the rigidity of the terms when they are made public But be neath this skilfully prepared propa ganda there will be found certain agreeable provisions. The realisation of this fact has caused the conference to address itself to these subjects and it is ready to amend soma of there and to stand upon others, Haas Protest Fear Peimta. From reports which have been re reived as late as today by the allied missions concerning the real position of the German government, it la wise to outline the points to which the enemy nation takes exception. They Include Insistence that the reduction of the German army to 100.000 men Is far too small for that nation's needs and that the prohibition jOf .conscription is a further difficulty In the way of maintaining even this Insufficient force. In this position they have the actual and expressed snptort of allied military advisers. Including Marshal Foch and General ' Bliss. The second protest will be made on the size of the German fleet and the restrictions against its expansion, but this will be given scant attention. The third protest will be against the right of the alies to fly over Germany, but that no reciprocal rights are given to the Germans over allied lands. This regulation is likely to be modified by the introduction of a time factor. These three points cover the military terms, with the inclusion of a protest against the manufacture of armament and the dismantling ol fortresses, un less France and other neighboring countries are equally -demilitarized, so that the threats against ' Germany, which France has always pretended to fear, may be removed, and at the same time the menace she offers be scotched. Saar Valley la Polst at Isaac. In the fourth objection lies the greatest weight - that Germany can give. It deals with the Saar valley and works into the Rhine lands and certain Polish awards, inclusive of Danzig, which is to become a free city. In this point, tbe Germans say they dis cover a violation of two of President Wilson's precepts, one being non-an nexation and the second being the right of self-determination. la the Rhine question Is to be found the Inevitable dispute .between mili tarists, who build for Immediacy and wlde-visloned politicians . who would avoid future wars. It cannot be gain said that the advocates of harsh meas ures are strengthened by recent Ger man history which Justifies almost any steps that may be projected against the mania for world domination that has proved such a frightful menace to, and has had such a frightful effect upon, world peace.

City Sales Director. & Is It Fair to Make Comparisons? Without comparisons we could not know values. We say a thing is good or bad, better or best, poorly made or well made, ordi nary or distinctive, because we com pare the one with the other. By comparing we gain knowledge, we protect ourselves from errors in judgment, and in the market place we save money. You have been reading in the national periodicals about certain superiorities of material, invention and design in the Waltham Watch. These superiorities are being dem onstrated by comparison. We have made statements, claiming the. Waltham Watch to be superior to the Swiss watch, and in many re spects superior to any watch in the world. Is thi3 fair? This is an age of enlightenment we want to now to know for certain. When we therefore take the mystery out of the "works of a watch explain each part in vohat and wherein it is superior whs " 80 are we not doing every prospective watch buyer a real service a profitable and pro tective favor? Watches look alike but to buy a watch upon looks alone is poor business. A watch cannot be any better than its "works. And because the Waltham Watch can frankly and truthfully claim leader ship in material and invention, in those advancements well known to skilled horologists, but neces sarily hidden in the 'Works be cause of these distinctions why shouldn't we tell the people all about them ? It is not a question of competition, but of informatiop ; not a subject for hearsay or prejudice, but for facts. We believe that taking the public into our confidence, throw ing the door wide opdn, is good business. At least, it is honest business. It is time to sweep vague ideas out of the watch industry. If a better watch is made at Waltham than in Switzerland, or anywhere else in the world for that matter, let us say so, and prove it. For instance, the hairspring is the brain of the watch. The Breguet, or overcoil (named for its inventor, a famous old watchmaker), is used on every ' Waltham watch. And the most important part of the complete operation in making a hairspring is the forming and tem pering of this Breguet overcoil. At Waltham, instead of being formed or bent by hand as a separate operation, the entire completed hairspring is formed at one and the same time, after which it is hardened and tempered in form an exclusive Wal tham invention. Indeed, no other - watchmaker in the world claims this perfect method of making the Bre guet hairspring not even Breguet himself.' , , , The Swiss watch has a "hairspring that is first formed in the flat, then hardened and tempered in the flat Then the outercoil is bent to form the Breguet overcoil, which, if the flat spring were as hard as the Waltham and properly tem pered like the Waltham hairspring, it could not be bent to correct form and would be liable to break in the attempt. Therefore in this vital part, upon which largely depends the time-keeping qual ity of the watch, we see i comparison where Waltham excels, but you would not know this unless we told you. Go to any Waltham dealer and that means the leading jeweler in this city and he will show you Waltham Watches ranging in price, for gentle men, from the Cadet Strap Watch, with gold covered back, at $22 up to the Waltham Premier Maximus at $530. And, for ladies, the Jewel Series from $31.50 upward to that exquisite watch (its movement is actually smaller than a dime in diameter) which sells from $ 1 50 to $ 1 ,000 or more according to the case. Be sure to follow closely the remaining advertisements in this series. They will make many more comparative statements and give you facts which it is to your interest to know before investing in a watch.
