Peace
of
(Br the Associated Press.)
Germany la to sign unconditionally
the peace treaty of the allied and
associated powers.
Although the Germans had pleaded
that the treaty provisions acknowl
edging Germany's responsibility for the
war and calling for the trial of former
Emperor William for "a supreme of
fense against mortality and the sanctity
of treaties. be stricken out, the will of
the allies that these remain in the doc
ument la to prevail.
Likewise a request for an extension
of the time allowed for acknowledg
ment by the Germans of their willing
ness to meet the allies' terms was per
emptorily refused.
After having promised to meet the
allied demands, the spirit of recalcit
rancy apparently prevailed for a time
In the new government of Herr Bauer,
but this seemingly later was over
come and now everything points to the
signing of the treaty at Versailles dur
ing the present week.
An Indication that the peace congress
will not defer much later than Thurs
day a meeting with the German pleni
potentiaries for final action is ob
tained from a report from Paris that
the steamer George Washington, on
w hich President Wilson has traveled to
and from France, has been ordered put
in readiness to sail Thursday. The re
port, however, does not assert that th
steamer will sail on that date.
In thsir pleaa the Germans continued
to the last to declare that the condi
tions Imposed were impossible of ful
fillment and to make reservations de
clining responsibility should Germany
be unable to meet the requirements of
the allies.
It Is asserted in Paris that, notwith
standing the fall of the Italian cabinet,
headed by Premier Orlando, the Italian
peace delegates now In the French
capital have been authorised to sign
the peace treaty.
WEIMAR. June S3. (By the Assocl
a ted Press.) (3:15 P. M.) The national
assembly this afternoon voted to sign
the peace treaty unconditionally, the
government having succeeded in over
coming the opposition of those who in
sisted on two conditions.
PARIS. June 23. (By the Associated
Press.) The signing of the peace treaty
is not likely to take place before Thurs
tlay. possibly not until Friday. This an
nouncement was made tonight by Pre-
jiler Clemenceau and Secretary Dutasta.
PARIS. June Si. Thomas Xelson
Page, United States ambassador to
3taly, is confident that the changes in
the Italian government and the peace
delegation will not prevent Italy from
tinning the German treaty and advised
members of the American delegation to
this effect.
PARIS, June Si. Completion of the
Austrian peace conditions has been de
layed by the reparations problem. The
American proposal that the new states
formed from Austria-Hungary bear
aomething toward the cost of the array
of liberation has not met with favor.
The French delegation is working on
a new plan.
PARIS, June 23. (By the Associated
Tress.) Germany today requested an
additional it hours within which to
make known its decision relative to
the signing of the peace treaty without
the reservations refused by the entente.
The council of three flatly refused the
request.
Tha German request for an exten
sion of time was delivered during the
night under dramatic circumstances. A
French officer reached Paris at 2:30
A. II. from Versailles with a note from
Von Hariiel saying the Weimar govern
ment had notified him it would sign
the peace terms, but that the text
of the message had not been decided
upon and would be sent later.
Arrsssrawata Are Made.
This was immediately delivered to
Secretary Dutasta's chief of staff. The
secretary waa awakened, and he, in
turn, aroused President Wilson and
Premiers Clemenceau and Llody George.
A meeting was then arranged for early
in the morning.
The German note reads as follows:
"To bis excellency, the president of
theace conference, Mr. Clemenceau.

eign affairs instructs me to beg the

government of the German republic has
sent the following note to M.. Clemen

through Dr. Haniel von Haimhausen:
-The minister of foreign affairs has
instructed me to communicate to your
excellency the following:
""It appears to the government of
the German republic in consternation
at the last communication of the allied
and associated governments, that these
governments have decided to wrest
from Germany by force acceptance of
the peace conditions, even those, which,
without presenting any material sig
nificance, aim at divesting the German
neonle of their honor.
"No act of violence can touch the
honor of the German people. The Ger
man people, after frightful suffering
in these last years, have no means of
defending themselves by external ac
tion. " "Yielding to superior force, and
without renouncing in the meantime
its own view of the unheard-of injus
tice of the peace conditions, the gov
ernment of the German republic de
clares that it is ready to accept and
sign the peace conditions imposed.'
"Please accept, Mr. President, assur
ances of my high consideration.

Four Irish Members of British Par

Important Mission.
NEW YORK. June 23. Edward
(Eamonn) De Valera. president of 'the
Sinn Fein "Irish republic." emerged
dramatically tonight from the seclu
sion in which he had kept himself since
his arrival in the United States. In a
statement to the press at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel, where he was greeted by
wildly enthusiastic followers, he de
clared he had come to America "to
speak for the Irish nation."
Mr. De Valera, a tall, smooth-faced,
clear-eyed young Irishman, was born
in New York in 1882, but said he "re
nounced" his American citizenship when
he became an Irish soldier. He declined
to tell how he contrived to reach
America, but said he came here from
Boston several days ago. It was stated
that during his stay in New York he

Americas Cities Visited.
His secretary, H. J. Boland, said that
while in Boston De Valera endeavored
to arrange an audience with Cardinal
O'Connell, but did not see him. Prior to
that, he said, he was in Philadelphia,
where he saw Michael J. Ryan, who
was a member of the Irish peace dele
gation, and Dr. Patrick J. McCartan.
He declared De Valera had visited
Baltimore, where he saw Cardinal Gib
bons, and Washington where he met
several United States senators. He said
that he also paid a visit to his mother
in Rochester, N. Y.
As Mr. De Valera stepped from an au
tomobile a crowd of several hundred
persons cheered him and a few fran
tically waved the flag of the Irish re
public. One aged Irish woman, finely
attired, threw her arms around De
Valera's neck. The police forced the
onlookers aside to make a passageway.
Inside the Waldorf many Irishmen and

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 23.
The American Federation of Labor, at
the closing session today of its annual
convention, pledged itself to obtain a
general 44-hour week for workers in
all crafts throughout the United States
and for employes in the government

The demand was based on a deter

Manufacturers and employers were
urged "to bridge the gap" and increase

Gompera Greeted With Cheers.
Samuel Gompera, president of the
federation, was greeted with a roar of
cheers late today when he announced
three of the four great brotherhoods,

men, he said, was considering a similar
application. If the firemen decide to

Delegates were of the opinion that

Provisions of Enforcement Act Make
Transportation of Intoxicants
Expensive Undertaking.
WASHINGTON, June 23. The provi
sion of the prohibition enforcement bill
permitting search of private homes for
contraband liquor when the warrant
was sworn to "by at least two credita
ble persons" was stricken out today by
the house judiciary committee. The
system of search as provided in the
espionage act was substituted.
Under provisions of the enforcement
act, tentatively modified today in com
mittee, transportation of intoxicating
liquors in automobiles, aircraft or other
vehicles would prove an expensive un
dertaking if the owner is caught. As
the bill originally stood, it stipulated
that the vehicle should be sold at pub
lic auction and the difference between
the selling price and the amount of the
fines and the costs, should be refunded
to the owner.
The committee changed the provision
today to provide that any surplus which
might remain after the fines and costs
were paid should be given to the state.

clared W. C. Hembree, aged 91 years,
as an aviator strapped him in his seat

as were the score, or more of younger
persons who rode with Lieutenant Pear

Mr. Hembree issues the challenge,

drive.
Doors will open at 7 o'clock,
with no reservations made. Com
munity sing and band concert
will precede the programme.
With 2000 workers afield In the 1601'
campaign precincts of Portland, local
Elks launched the drive in Portland
yesterday to secure one-half of tlit
state's quota of JSoO.OOO in the Salva
tion Army drive, while outer-state dis
tricts began tneir drive at the same
hour. The campaign is to conclude
Saturday night of this week.
Though it was too early last night
to canvass the returns for the day or
to estimate in actual figures the re
sults of the first active solicitation for
Salvation Army funds, the fragmentary
reports for the various precincts gave
ample assurance that the drive had
been auspiciously begun.
Billy Sundny to Help.
From his Hood River ranch, an
evangelist of the good cause, comes the
Rev. Billy Sunday this evening to lend
his vigorous personality and voice, ex
hortation, invective, and slangy, fiery
purpose to the Salvation Army drive.
Though the Elks have arranged t.
complete programme for the Salvation
Army rally at the auditorium tonight
at 8:15. it goes without comment that
Billy is the forensic star of the even
ing, and Portland folk will congregate
to hear him give the message of the
gospel girls who carried doughnuts un
der fire to the front lines in France.
The following programme has been
arranged for the rally tonight:
Progrioiate Is Varied.
Community sing, 7 to 8 o'clock, led
by Walter Jenkins; 8 to 8:15, band con
cert: America, sung by audience, led
by Walter Jenkins; prelude, Frederick
W. Goodrich; introduction of chairman
by Julius J. Berg, exalted ruler of
Portland Elks; introductory remarks.
Mayor Baker; vocal selection, Mrs.
Herman Polits; address. Dr. E. H.
Pence; selection by the band; address
by the Rev. Billy Sunday; closing ex
ercises by Portland Elks. Doors will
open at 7 o'clock, with no reservations
made.
The largest individual subscription ,
thus far received in the local campaign
is that of S. Benson of the Benson ho- ,
tel, who Bent the committee his per
sonal check for $1000, with a letter ex
pressing his pleasure at being of serv
ice in the Salvation Army cause.
Money Pours In.
. "The testimony of the boys over
there," wrote Mr. Benson, "Is so unani
mous as to the splendid work accom
plished by the members of the Salvation
Army that I deem it a privilege to aid
in a continuance of their efforts, and
to commend the B. P. O. E. for its fine
interest in their behalf."
All the way from Mexico City, where
even the prospect of Insurrection, does
not displace a recollection of the needs '
of the Salvation Army, came a 110
check to be applied upon the local
quota. Another 810 contribution, re
ceived yesterday, was handed to a so
licitor by an ex-soldier, who served
with the Rainbow division, and who
grinned as he observed that those who
fought in France need no argument con
cerning the Salvation Army and its de
serving character.
Soldier Auxiliaries Aid.
The huge soliciting force which, fully -organized
and officered, set forth upon
the trail of the city's quota yesterday,
is largely entirely of Elks and the
members of their families. Doing val
iant service with the lodge members,
whose organization is big brother to
the local drive, are various soldier aux
iliaries and organizations.
It will be a day or so before the tide
of returns from outer-state counties
begins to arrive in genuine earnest,
but early indications are that the re
mainder of the state will strive to
eclipse any record that Portland aims
at, and will endeavor to report corn
Dieted subscription of its share before
Saturday night. Several communities al
ready have telegraphed headquarters
of completed quotas and of heavy over
subscriptions. Many Speakers Picked.
The speakers' bureau has arranged
its campaign for the week, in behalf of
the Salvation Army home fund, and has
assigned well-known public speakers
and prominent men to address fraternal
meetings, theater audiences, civic clubs
and street corner rallies.
Street speaking, with music and other
special features, will begin at noon to
day, at Sixth and Alder streets, and at
