1G TIIE MORNING OREGONIAX, TUESDAY, .MAY 13, 1919. GERMANS UNITE IN PROTESTING PEACE Patriotic Protest Mass Meet ings Are Arranged. HATE DECLARED1 TO RULE Newspapers, Clergy and Many Civic and Official Organizations Join in Demonstrations. BT CYRIL BROWN. (Copyright by the New Tork "World. Pub- llstiea Dy .rranunenij BERLIN. May 12. (Cpecial Cable.) Partly spontaneously and partly skill fully engineered and Inspired, all Ger many, with the exception of the under fed bulk of the German people, is burst into protest demonstrations over the allied peace terms. Patriotic protest mass meetings are being arranged throughout the ex-empire, following the protest sessions of Prussian and Wurttemburg assemblies. The national assembly has been hastily summoned to Berlin. Monday it is promised that Philip Scheidemann will launch a solemn pro test against the "Gewaltfrieden" (dic tated peace) in a great speech. The as Kembly is expected to pass a unanimous protest resolution. Protest J XaUon-Wlde. State governments and assemblies, provinces and municipalities and all manner of corporate bodies and leagues and associations are following suit, in cluding the organized clergy. A nation-wide mobilization of protesters is taking place synchronously with- a nation-wide storm of newspaper protests that is increasing in violence. A composite phonograph record of all German protests today emits the fol lowing familiar sounds: "The peace terms arc unbearable and unfulflllable and therefore unacceptable. It Is a dic tated peace, a peace of violence. It violates all President Wilson's prin ciples and reduces the German people to slavery, to economic serfdom, to perpetual pauperism. It is Germany's death sentence and spells her end as a treat power. It relegates Germany to below the smallest neutral. It is a shameful peace. It robs Germany of honor, makes Germany a pariah amonf honor, makes Germany a pariah among berment, ruin, destruction and annihila tion." ImpressloB on Allies Sought. The protest phrases are incessantly reiterated, but there is not the slight est indication yet that the German people are being carried by them into demanding a rejection of the peace terms, their purpose being- rather to' im press Versailles into thinking so. The Germans, however, harbor little er no hope that rhetorical protests will soften Germany's lot. There Is an un dercurrent of sober, common-sense opinion that Germany cannot do any thing but sign, as the specter of cer tain death by starvation haunts the government and nation alike in the eventuality of rejection. The intense bitterness permeating of ficial circles is voiced by ex-Minister cf Finance Schiffer under the title of 'Vae Victis." "The Versailles text will have a spe cial place in the political literature of all times and of all people, but" no place of honor." he declares. "The authors are not to be envied for their glory. It requires no deep thought or subtle analysis to discover the true character of the allied will for peace and right. Countless and cunningly formulated regulations and provisions amplify the Kencral principles and increase the weight of the ' burden and draw the throttling net still tighter. Hate Declared to Role. "There is no departure from the straight line of violation. This work is the product of one spirit the spirit of hate and revenge and fear. There remains a new era where there is jus tice, equality and liberation from com pulsion and force. "Wherein essentially does this peace proposal differ from other peace treaties? Could it have looked differ ently if it had been concluded accord ing to the old views and customs so loathed by President Wilson? Assur edly not. It has all the earmarks of "gewaltfrieden worse could never have been imposed on a crushed enemy."". Herr Schiffer cites as an example that If the Saar population votes to re turn to Germany after 15 years the re turn of "human beings Is made depend ent on a sum of gold." since Germany Is required to buy back the coal mines in gold within six months. Herr Bchiffer sees the solo good coming from the peace terms in the unifying effect on all the German parties in the solid protest against peace. "The whole German nation is firmly united that a peace on such a basis is unbearable, unfulf illable and therefore impossible. Not In battle, but through the pressure of hunger and a blockade on raw materials, the entente brought Germany to her knees. This chivalrous -weapon continues at the entente's dis posal, but it cannot make the impossi ble an unbearable and unfulf illable peace, bearable and fulf illable." "The peace condemns 20,000,000 Ger mans to death or emigration," accord ing to the embittered view of the so cialist ex-food controller. Dr. August Uueller. Track Hauls $5,000,000. ' KEW YORK.

The transfer was made shortly after noon with a military guard, pistols drawn, posted at the rear door of the government's treasury house. A crowd shortly collected, maintaining always a considerable distance from the sputter ins; motor truck, and watched with bulging optics while the heavy cases were carried out of the dark recesses of the sub-treasury vaults and tossed with a gentle heave ito the van. There was one case for each million, but weighty enough to cause four men some difficulty in easing the load onto the truck floor. When the last case banged along the steel plates inside, the motor started off. No persons fol lowed and at the piers every one was kept a dozen yards or so away while representatives made the transfer to the Von Steuben's hold. Captain A. F. Cronhardt, in whose safekeeping the shipment was placed, said that from now on $10,000 a month will be sent to France in this manner until all the troops are home. . The reason for taking American gold over is to prevent the soldiers from loss in exchange by bringing French money home.

The dead body of the woman found late Thursday afternoon in Johnson creek, near Milwaukie, in Clackamas county, is believed by the police to be that of Rose Adelman, 65 years of age, reported missing from Gervais, Or., since April 25. Although it was at first reported that the woman had fallen into the stream and drowned, a more complete investigation by the county coroner discloses that she may have been mur dered. The police are now investigat ing this phase. The woman is described by relatives at Gervais as being five feet three inches in height, weight about 180 pounds, dark hair and complexion, brown eyes, and of German descent. When last seen she was attired in a house dress which corresponds with the clothing found on the body of the dead woman removed from the creek. At the time his wife disappeared the husband, Frank Adelman, notified the Portland police in an effort to dis cover the whereabouts of his missing wife. No reason is given for her disappearance. According to the Clackamas coroner the unidentified woman was seen alive near the banks of the stream a short time before her dead body was found. It was also said other persons were seen nearby at the same time. The coroner reported a suspicion that some one may have pushed the woman in the water to be drowned. MISSION TO STUDY-BORDERS TJkranlan Government Protests Against Allied Interference. STANISLAU, West Ukraine. (Cor respondence of the Associated Press.) The West Ukrainian government re cently issued a statement asking that a new allied mission come here to study the question of the boundaries between Poland and the Ukraine dispute over which leads to fighting between the Poles and Ukrainians irl the possession of Lemberg and the oil fields nearby. The Ukrainian government also pro tested against the action of the inter allied mission for blaming the Ukraine ians for resuming the fight against the Poles. It is pointed out by the Ukrain ians that th mission should have ex ercised its influence to induce the Poles to retire from the disputed territory. It is thought here that the only way of stopping hostilities .would be to clear the disputed region of both Polish and Ukrainian troops and to neutralize the whole Lemberg oil zone. After that the fixing of the boundaries would be the work of many months. The Ukrainians claim two-thirds of the province of Galicia extending west ward to the riven Kan and including the cities of Jaroslav, Prezemsy and Sanok. Thence the line claimed by the Ukrain ians as their western border extends westward along the Carpathian moun tains to the high Tatra mountains and then turns eastward along the south slope of the Carpathians in northern Hungary and runs back to Bukowina, including the city of Czarnowitz. The armistice proposed by the inter allied mission which visited the Ukrain ian headquarters in the latter part of February would have thrown the Uk rainians back, on a line running from Kamionka to Halicz and thence west erly to Dolina. Even had the Ukrainian leaders been willing to accept such a line, it is stated that they would have disgraced themselves in the eyes of their own countrymen, lost their influ ence if not suffered personal violence. From the statement issued by the Uk rainian government it appears that the Ukrainians have little confidence that they would recover territory if yielded at the request of the allies. The Ukrainian assembly , in January last voted to cast its lot with the Rus sian Ukraine instead of joining the Poles. The assembly was influenced by the argument that the West Ukraine would be a. rich state if it secured the fine city of Lemberg- as a capital and particularly if it could obtain the oil region near Lemberg. The Ukrainians hope to make their country one of the most wealthy and prosperous and say this is possible in view of the wonderful black soil of the Russian Ukraine which long ha been famed as a wheat and sugar growing country. . BRIGHT FUTURE FORECAST! LOCAL VICTORY LOAX RESULTS WIX COMMESDATIOX.. President of San Francisco Trust Company Predicts Greatest Pros perity in History. "x-ortland's splendid rT.owing in the victory loan has attracted nation-wide attention. I have heard several eastern bankers in San Francisco speaking in commendatory terms of the results of the campaign in Oregon, which so over shadowed other Pacific coast states." Mortimer Fleishhacker, president of the Anglo-California Trust company of San Francisco andirst vice-president of the Anglo-Loncjon-Paris National bank of that city, was speaking. Mr. Fleishhacker arrived in Portland Sun day morning for a stay of a week or ten days, during which he will in vestigate the operations of the North western Electric company, in which ho is a trustee and heavily interested. "Portland and San Francisco both reflect the coming of better times," continued Mr. Fleishhacker. "I under stand that the realty market is picking up rapidly here. In San Francisco the real estate market has shown consid erable activity during the last few weeiis, the first in a long while. "I like Portland better every time I visit here. This ft my first trip to the city in ,a year and I perhaps can see better than those who are here all tho time the 'steady, progressive growth. Portland is a good solid city. There is no inflation here, but a stead', in creasing prosperity. "Good times are fairly on their way with the approach of peace. I believe that when the peace terms finally are signed this country will see a wave of prosperity which has been waiting for nothing else." - Yesterday Mr. Fleishhacker inspect ed the new power plant of the North western Electric company under con struction on the west side of the river near the Portland Lumber company. It will have a product of 12,000 kilo watts and- will provide electric power and steam heat. Early this week the visitor will inspect the holdings and 16,000-kilowatt hydro-electric power plant of the company at White Salmon. No new construction is contemplated in Portland or Oregon at present, said Mr. Fleishhacker, but a stexdy increase of the distributing system of the power company is contemplated. The Corbett building is one of the largest to take the heating service recently, having begun installation the same day the boiler blew out in its basement, killing three men. HARDEN IS NDT SURPRISED HCX WRITER BLAMES BOCHE FOR HARSH TERMS. Berlin Editor Declares Agitation for Refusal to Sign Peace Treaty Is Futile. BERLIN, via London. May 12. Max imilian Harden, editor of the Berlin Die Zeikunft, writing on the peace treaty, says: "The peace conditions are not harder than I expected. They were unpleas ant to the greater part of the people. But could one really have expected them otherwise? "The Germans have not given very convincing mental guarantees during the six months since the revolution that they have changed their system. On the contrary the present govern ment and the press have used the same methods of incitement, the same tricks of bluff as under the old rule of the petty nobility. "T h e government's proclamations are only bad copies of the kaiser's time. The whole press is agitating for refusal to sign the treaty and to what use? All must know that the allies, by keeping up the blockade and occupy ing the coal districts, can force Ger many to sign whatever they want. "Germany should have sent men who would have laid their cards on the table and get the allies to understand that some of the conditions were un acceptable. If Germany showed its good will to do what is In its power to comply with the allies' requests, the allies would see that conditions were changed in favor of Germany because they know there must be a Germany and' that it is impossible to destroy the German people." PARIS. May 12. Prince Llchnowsky, former German ambassador at London, commenting on the peace terms to the correspondent of the Temps, said: "Such a peace would be equivalent to the annihilation of Germany. It is only acceptable with serious modifica tions. This peace is a peace of violence." OREGON BOYS REACH PORT 63 7TH AERO SUPPIvT SQUAD BOX AT CAMP MILLS. DRESDEN DOLL DIVORCED Secrecy Surrounds Decree Given, to . Thompson Xewbnry. FALL RIVER. Mass. Formal an nouncement was made in the superior court that a decree of divorce had been granted to Thompson Newbury, the Taunton millionaire whose divorce ac tion, was brought to an abrupt close this week by order of the court. The cross-libel filed by Mrs. Mabel Gould Slocum Stickney Newbury, the "Dresden 'China Doll" of stage fame and pet of Newport, was dismissed. Neither attorney would make a state ment regarding the abrupt ending of a suit. A pledge was exacted by the court at the time the libel was dis missed and each attorney put upon his honor to reveal nothing of the reasons that led up to the break. It is rumored that Mrs. Newbury was really the winner of the suit and that a large money settlement has been made by the Newbury family. The ending of the case came just be fore Mrs. Newbury was to have taken the stand to present her side of the case. The story that she promised to tell would have revealed the names of men and women prominent in exclusive circles of the Back Bay, Providnce, Taunton and Newport.

PARIS, May 1J. (Havas.) The Temps publishes a note from the Dutch legation at Paris declaring that tho de mand for the extradition of tho former emperor lias reached Holland. AMERONGEN, May 12. (By th Asso ciated Press.) An official abstract of he preliminary peace terms published In the Dutch newspapers, which was re translated and read to the former Ger man emperor today, has aroused consid erable excitement among the members of the Hohenzollern party. An inkling concerning what the en tente intended to do in connection with bringing William Hohenzollern to trial had reached the German officials earlier .in the week. They communi cated the information to the former empress who displayed signs of marked emotion, but decided to await the ap pearance of a fuller official report be fore making the news known to her husband. A special messenger motored to Arnhera Thursday to procure copies of the local newspapers. Meanwhile, the former emperor cdntinued his usual occupation of sawing logs, but ap parently he is suffering from ever- growing nervous excitement. HIS saw worked as never before and his physi cian. Dr. Koerster, who assisted him, was completely exhausted at lunch time. How the former emperor took the news the correspondent was unable to ascertain as every one in the castle is sworn to secrecy regarding happen ings. Rumors were circulated in the village that he atxempted to commit suicide by hanging, but these are con sidered canards since his attendants are quite calm. The former ruler looked wonderfully well as he walked out to his sawing this' morning. It seems undoubted that he intends to stay in Holland, if he can, through the summer. ter; Samuel Sanger of Waco, Tex., a brother, and Isaac Sanger of 905 West End avenue, a nephew, each receive almost tl00,000.
