In Weimar.
COPENHAGEN. June li. The amend
ed peace terms have aroused a senti
ment of growing implacability in Ger
many and armed intervention by the
allies is regarded as Inevitable, accord
ing to the Berlin correspondent of the
Tolitiken. It Is reported that Count
von Brockdorff-Rantzau. head of the
peace delegation, and Mathies Enter
crer, chairman of the armistice commis
sion, have reconciled their differences.
The correspondent said that If the re

Germany to make reply have expired.
The Fremdenblatt of Hamburg says
it learns that the allied terms have
rausel great excitement in eastern
Germany, where the population is
ready to reopen the fight.

to the terms of peace, the
Frankfort Gaxctte says:
"Whatever we do will be terrible.
Germany la In no position to refuse to

the bead of the German cabinet, in
speakimr to the peace commission of
the national assembly here today, de
clared that the allied reply to the Ger
man - darter-proposals" "wllhbut' ' the
eomplete text did not yet permit of
final Judgment and that primature
Judgment would be a mistake.
Tribaaal Rejeetlaa Regretted.
"There is nothing new In the general
accusation made against the German
people." said the premier, "but we must
note with regret that the allies have
rejected the proposal for the establish
ment of a neutral tribunal, which alone
rould impartially examine these accu
sations. Jt also Is lamentable that the
whole nation should be charged with
the offenses and crimes alleged.
Tbis charge is to constitute Justi
fication for the heavy conditions which,
according to the second sections of the
raftering note, are to be Imposed on the
ticrman people.
"The Justification put forward for the
projected settlement of affairs in the
east permits of little hope that we can
reckon for substantial conciliations in
the detailed memorandum. That also
holds good for the remaining territorial
durations, many points regarding which
and also those regarding financial and
economic questions referred to in the
covering note are still obscure.
Deeiasea Declared Momentous.
"In view of the obscurities at pres
ent." the premier said, "and the fact
that all the material la not yet to hand,
a decision cannot be taken today
Tuesday. Only the final and complete
text of the enemy's rnawer can fur
Jilsh a basis for deliberations between
the government and the peace com
mittee. .
"The German nation, the national
asembly and the government are con
fronted with the most momentous de
rision. It is. therefore, their duty,
whatever aa Individuals they may
think of the ' peace question, to ap
proach this decision with an entirely
open mind. No one must have any
.doubts that the nation is confronted
?wlth very bard times."
Prisoners Attack Caatle.
Herr Scheidemann deplored the ab
sence of adequate protection for the
German delegates on their departure
from Versailles. He said a protest
had been made, but that the govern
ment would reserve Its attitude until
an official report had been received.
WEIMAR. June IS. (By the As
sociated Press.) Fifty spartacan and
communist prisoners recently released
from the Weimar Jail shortly after
midnight this morning attacked the
rastle. where the members of the gov
ernment live. They were repulsed by
a lone guard, who stood by a machine
gun until be had driven oft the mob.
The attacking party made a surprise
descent upon the castle and disarmed
the guards at the entrance. They in
dulged in firing through the windows,
however.- and this aroused the castle
troops. It was apparently the in
tention of the party to seize President

'FLAG OF HUMANITY' VAGUE
Fnrri Emnlove Cannot Remember
Just What Emblem Was.
MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich., June 18.
A shadow of Henry Ford's "flag of
humanity" was unfurled in Judge
Tucker's court today in the course of
the hearing of Mr. Ford's libel suit
against the Chicago Daily Tribune.
Evidence in the case had quoted Mr.
Ford as opposing flags of nations as
obsolete "something to rally around."
or as "the refuge of scoundrels" and
as advocating a "flag of humanity,"
the creation of which he was said to
have referred to in a fugitive remark
,n Today Irving Bacon, an illustrator In
the photographic and advertising de
partments of the Ford Motor company,
was called to the stand.
"It was quite a long time ago and I
do not recall clearly the incident." said
the witness. "I think, however that
the idea of designing such flag was
put to me either by Dean Marquis, head
of the educational department, or Mr.
Brownell, the advertising manager. I
