The same conditions as re gards the retirement of German armies and officials and the disbandment of workmen's soviet, which were included in the Schleswig-Holstein and East Prussian plebescites are found in that affecting Silesia.

AGARISTA CAPTAIN ACCUSED fr wntlnugd From First Pare.) PARIS, June 20. The news of the political changes in Germany was made known to the American delega tion while It waa meeting with Presi dent Wilson. It caused considerable satisfaction and was Interpreted as an indication that Germany will accept the treaty. The selection of Herr Noske to head the new cabinet, if the report is con firmed, ia a surprising factor, as he had been regarded as an opponent of sign ing. PARIS, June 20. News of the retire ment of Phtlipp Scheidemann, premier, and of the reformation of the coalition government in Germany came as no surprise in peace conference circles, aa it had been known for some time that Scheidemann. Count von Brockdorff Kantsau and several other cabinet members were so thoroughly commit ted by past utterances to not signing the treaty that a new cabinet and per haps a new president might have to be installed before the treaty is signed unless it is modified materially. It is expected in peace conference circles that the new German - govern ment will make a request for additional time In which to reply. ' ' The retirement of Von Brockdorff Rantsau and Herr Glesberts and prob ably that of Dr. Dernburg from the cabinet Is expected. Mathias Ersberg er presumably will take the place of Giesberts as the Centrist leader in the cabinet. PARIS. June 20. The Temps unUer standa that Mathias Ersberger, if he takes power In Germany, will ask two modifications of the peace treaty. The first will be the toning down of the clause concerning responsibility for the war so as to spare German susceptibil ities and the second, abandonment, of prosecution of the former emperor. PARIS. June 1. (By the Associated Press.) The alterations and amend ments incorporated by the council of four in the revised treaty make it somewhat longer document than the draft originally submitted to the Ger mane ami published In the cniled States. It now comprises 214 page, five more than the original, and even this was effected by closer paging. At various points the drafting committee ought to adhere as far as possible to the original numbering of the articles and contrived to make up for insertions or omissions by combining or splitting articles. As at first arranged, the new In strument still contains the original 14 parts and 440 articles. Gersaaay Is Aeaarea CoaL The article assuring Silesian coal and minerals to German industry now reada: "Poland undertakes to permit for period of IS years the exportation to ijermany of the products of mines In any part of I'pper Silesia transferred to Poland, In accordance with the present treaty, without export duties or restric tions, and permit the Germans to pur chase these products on the sajue terms as the Poles. In the revised draft the "principal al lied and associated powers" undertake to establish Danzip as a free city. This language. In which the responsibility of the five great powers for the crea tion of tba n-w city and state Is defin itely assumed, is substituted for the original phraseology declaring merely that "Danzig is established as a free i-lty.- The new article, which replaces the original provision for the disarmament or Germany providing tor redaction a -specified point within two months now reads in the English version: Genua Armasseat Limited. "I'd to the time at which Germany Is admitted aa a member of the league of n.tuons, the German army shall not possess armament greater than that f.t-d in the table submitted in this treaty." and continues:- t. . . "Germany agrees that after she has become a member of the league, the .".rmamanta fixed, by the table shall re innin In force until modified by the council of the league. Furthermore. ermany hereby agrees strictly to ob serve the decisions of the Council In this respect." Important changes are revealed by a comparison of the -old and new drafts relative to the new Polish frontiers and the Silesian plebiscite. The frontier ohanges correspond generally with those, outlined In recent dispatches, but bring the Polish frontier nearer to Breslau on the east than was at first contemplated and give Poland a new section of the Prussian province of Pomerania in exchange for the coast strip of the same province returnee) to Germany, although the council of four planned for a while to make all Pom erania German on historic grounds. Seme of the changes in the treaty can be indicated only by reference maps of the largest scale. gllealaa Plebiscite Aasared. - The provisions for h plebescite In the Silesian regions show that the vote will be taken In virtually all of upper Silesia except small areas In the south western and northern corners, which were awarded unconditionally to Sxecbo-Slovakla and Poland, respect-1 made of the food by members of the crew, was relieved and assigned to the Agartsta, Major Michael telegraphed the Portland office before the vessel left Hoquiam that he desired to be relieved on reaching Astoria. He served during the war, being commissioned a cap tain in the quartermaster corps, and then rose to the rank of major. He was on duty in New Jersey and on his re turn applied for a berth on one of the vessels. , Captala Highly Rated. Captain Nielsen resides at 30t Col lege street, where it was said Mrs. Niel sen had gone to Hoquiam to be there while toe vessel was In port. It is said at the office of the Pacific line that it was not thought Mrs. Nielsen had accompanied her husband from Hoquiam to Astoria. Captain Nielsen was mate of the steel steamer Point Lobos, built by the Albina Engine & Machine works, and on returning home waa assigned to the Agarista, while he had held a commission in the navy during the war. Previous to that serv ice he was master of the Columbia river llghtvessel for years and has many friends here and at Astoria. He is regarded a most mild-mannered man and friends here assert that had he quarreled with the mate he would have put him ashore, not resorting to the means charged. Lieutenant Jones of the United States secret service bureau telegraphed the San Francisco agency yesterday to com municate with Mrs. Sale and advise her of the death. The reply was that she had been Informed and would take the burial details up with the steamship interests. . The Agarista Is loaded with railroad ties for New York and was ordered to Astoria to take on the last of her coal and fill her fresh-water tanks. Public Opinion Strongly Signing of Treaty. for ALL PARTY UNITY BROKEN Concessions by Allies Have Disrup tive Effect on Majority Factions In National Assembly. BY CYRIL BROWN. (Copyright by the New York World, llshed by arrangement.) Pub, ) CAPTAIX SAYS MATE SUICIDE Skipper of Agarista Tells of Two Shots Heard While on Bridge. ASTORIA. Or.. June 20. (Special.) That Frank J. Sale, first mate on the steamer Agarista, who was found in a dying condition lying on the floor of his cabin aboard ship yesterday after noon, committed suicide is certain, says Captain Neilsen. master of the vessel. which arrived here today. "We were just getting under way at Hoquiam about 4:30 yesterday after noon, when I missed the mate," he said. "Finally I sent the steward to look for the missing man and he found him lying In his room with bullet holes in his head. Sale was still breathing but waa unable to speak. I immediately signaled for the tug Gleaner and sent him ashore. Sale was of a melancholy disposition, and at times not only acted strangely, but wssalmost hysterical. "Members o the crew tell me that wnen ne leu tne aecK lor nis room. about 40 minutes before his body was found, he was staring wildly and ap peared in distress. I was on the bridge at the time and heard what might have been two shots. I called over the aide, asking who was snooting, but received no response. I concluded the reports were caused by something else and gave the matter no further thought. Sale was about 38 years of age and had a wife residing in San Francisco. He left a letter addressed to her, but it has not been opened and 1 shall turn It, with the mans personal effects, over to the federal authorities." G. H. Oulton. second mate of the steamer Agarista, when asked this evening regarding the death of Frank J. Sale, first mate of the craft, said: "I know very little about It, except In a general way. but the circumstances point almost conclusively to a case of suicide. Why he should commit such an art. I do ut know. Sale was a fine fellow and well liked by every one aboard ship. He was. however, excep tionally quiet, and when off duty re mained alone the most of the time. I heard him several times mumbling to himself but paid no attention to that, thinking it was merely a habit. So far as I know he never-toad a cross word with anyone on the ship and was pleasant enough when spoken to. A short time before we were ready to leave the wharf at Hoquiam the mate was forward and I went aft, re maining there until we were well under way. Then I had occasion to go to the bridge and the captain Inquired if I had seen the mate, as hs could not be found. When I replied 'no', the cap tain called the : toward and told him to see if the mate was at supper or in his room. In a few minutes the stew ard reported finding the body. The tug was Immediately summoned and the injured man was placed on her to taken ashore. I had noticed noth ing out of ths usual about Sale that day. but aome of the crew said he acted strangely aa he started over the deckload toward the cabin. I did not hear any shots, but others say they did as we were getting under way." John Michael, steward on the steam er Agarista. Js still with the vessel. but was on shore leave tonight and could not be interviewed. Captain Niel- son raid tonight that Michael was one of the men who took Mate Sale ashore and assisted him to the hospital. Michael then came overland to Astoria, rejoining the steamer this evening. It is understood from tha officers that Michael, whose home is In Port land, where he owns considerable prop erty, had Intended to leave ths vessel In Astoria, having changed his mind about going to sea. but Is now waiting until this investigation Is over. WEIMAR. June 20. (Special Cable. After digesting the full text of the treaty terms as amended, the German cabinet split sharply and irreconcilably, it would seem, on the question of ac ceptance. Matthias Erzberger led the fight for immediate signature. Colonial Minister Dell supporting him. The real sensation of the Weimar conference waa furnished by the unexpected con version of War Minister Noske In favo of signing. The concessions by the allies had disruptive effect on the majority par ties, the attitude of the extreme right and left remaining unchanged, the na tionalists holding out solidly against signing, and the independent socialists urging acceptance. - In the majority parties the Catholic centrum, was the first to weaken and divide. Aa a re suit, increasing numbers of delegates began to scramble to get on the peace wagon. A bitter fight developed within the majority socialist party, which was un able to withstand the peace pressure of the public, and which finally swung so far toward, signing as to threaten to expel from the party those who per sisted In blocking the conclusion of negotiations. Leaders B-jw to Inevitable. Ranks of the liberals and of the democrats, previously opposed to sign- ng. became similarly rent asunder, the peace urgency of the middle classes forcing many democratic leaders to change their attitude and bow to the nevitable. The democratic press, led by the powerful Frankfurt Gazette, has gone on record for signing. Parties have split so badly on the question that tbe vote In. -the national assembly will have to be by roll call, as members of the parties will not be bound by caucus decision. It is considered certain that official signature will be made under formal protest against the terms, with repre sentations that some of the terms cannot be met, notably those affecting the eastern provinces. So there may be acceptance with the reservation that these provinces are beyond- the control of the German government, which can not assume responsibility for such ter ritory, i More Time May Be Needed. This would prepare the way for in dependent action by the eastern prov inces against Poland. It is thought equally certain that Germany will ap peal to the allies for extension of the time limit in which to form a govern ment which possibly will sign, and also for a plebiscite of the German people on the general terms of the treaty The persistent impression of the newspaper correspondents is that Ger many will sign before the last call. Anti-signers are still in the majority, but they are losing ground rapidly. The strong tide of public opinion is ir resistibly in favor of signing. Having set in, this tide threatens to engulf the government and the majority of the national assembly, wniie tne stuD born position of the non-signers is weakening, because they realize that the bulk of the country is not behind them. The political situation In Weimar is strongly suggestive of an American presidential nomination convention, with the leaders in a close race. The race is still on, but the old German peace desire, ridden by common sense, is putting up a whirlwind finish, over taking the official favorites of the non-signing policy. All Party i nlly Broken. Since the arrival here of Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau the government and the peace delegation have been in almost continuous session to no deci sive purpose, although the sessions have lasted all day and most of the night. The participants are like a jury that has been locked up until it is hollow-eyed and still wrangles over the verdict, while simultaneously tne government majority parties have been holding indicisive caucuses. The well calculated concessions ny the allies have proved to be an apple of discord flung Into Weimar and they have split wide open German party unity. All Germans agree in violent condemnation of the final peace terms. but they are torn Into even more violent dissension . on the issue of signing. The German peace delegation alone remains unshaken in its stonewall atti tude against signing. Count von Brock-dorff-Kantzau and delegate Gieeberts are unalterably opposed to acceptance of thq terms. TOMORROW 'ARMY SUNDAY Pastors Asked lo Explain Importance of Maintaining Standard. Armv Sunday" will be observed In Portland churches tomorrow, where nautors comply with a request made by officers in charge of the recruiting of fice In the Worcester building, Tnira and Oak streets. Pastors have been asked to explain to their congrega tions th needs of the army and the Im- PACKARD PIANOS portance of maintaining the high stand- ard ste duiing the war. - There is such a mistaken Idea In re-! gard to the army that In conversation with some of the clergymen here, we requested the straigbtest way to cor rect it; that Is, by the help of the church," says the letter sent out by 1 Colonel Samuel A. Kephart. "The seri- ' ous business of war and its results are ! not over, and the country needs good, i clean, upright young men for the new , army, iney are not wanted at a loss to themselves when they enter the service, and we will greatly appreciate such announcement from your pulpit this coming Sunday aa you feel justi fied in making.
