? BREACH WIDER THAN EVER
Final Reply to Teuton Challenge of
Resistance Is Forcible Vltimatum
Paris Press Jubilant.
BT HERBERT BATARD SWOPK.
(Coprrliht b tne New York World. Pub
tithed br arnnnment.)
PARIS. June 24. (Speciat Cable.) If
one strip away the dialectical and dis
putable qualities of the final German
note, there is left a weighty and sol
emn document which must give thought
to all who read it.
It had an undoubted effect upon th
correspondents and those members of
the American mission who saw it Sun
day night. Barring those passages 1
which personal pleading was employed,
it embodies much of the sentiment tha
has been uttered by liberal opinion
. since the first treaty draft became
public.
But. with German self-centerednesa.
they interwlned their strength with
their, weakness and produced a work
maw react upon mem. lor as u siana
It was neither an acceptance nor a re
- jevtion. in spite of the canning manner
in which it was veneered .as an
acquiescence. The request that the
treaty be submitted within two years
to the high, council of the league of
nations was, of course, in effort to
surprise an admission from the allies-
' that the instrument was faulty and un
stable.
Heavy Changes Expected.
ft was asking too much to have the
big four agree to the demand, although
the secret belief in the', mind of the
majority of those connected with the
conference Is that within a short time
. there will be heavy changes in the
"document, assuming ' that Germany
shows good faith.
The request for a modification of
the clause finding the Germans respon
sible for the war is a natural one,
since this goes to the point of repara
tions and - a shift in responsibility
would Titaly affect the operations of
the reparation commission.
The German points regarding the so
called dismemberment of the country
are among the strongest made, but on
these there have already been partial
concessions granted, and there Is
strength in the notation on colonies,
from which the Germans ssy the treaty
permanently bars them, even to the
extent of making new setlements.
Fee's Chal leage Take, raw
The last answer of the allies was the
moat forcible that they have yet sent.
It was really an ultimatum, and as
such was accepted Joyously by . th
Paris press, which likes quite under
standingly all forms of force when ap
plied to the Germans. The stinger In
the allied reply lay in the final para
graph, which was Introduced and
phrased by M- Clemenceau. reading:
"After the signature the allied and
associated powers .must hold Germany
responsible lor the execution of every
stipulation of the treaty."
This was a direct answer to the pre
cept of resistance, implicit, if not ex
plicit, in the uerman note.
It is the best response to the threat
ening challenge the Germans made,
with the end at hand there must be
noted a conspicuous absence of any
good feeling. Instead, the breach is
seemingly wider than ever before, sui
te nn ess. despair and antagonism ruling
where it was hoped there might be
laid the foundation of new and better
relations. While this condition might
be partially attributed to the char
acter of the treaty It has been nour
ished and accentuated by the German
attitude in declining to accept more
gracefully the inevitable. In their play
for the record they have strained
every point and left nothing that even
loosely ties them to their enemies.

Two new fires In the Kanlksu and

of the many clews to the lost collier
Cyclops, all of which so far have been
xploded, turned up nere today when
the mother of Otis Ramsey, a seaman
on the chip, received a telegram from
New York,-saying he was "safe in this
country again," and that the missing
vessel waa in a German port.
The navy records show that Otis
Ramsey of Columbia was a seaman on
the Cyclops and he is listed as lost at

Officials think the message a hoax.
but as they expect to solve the mystery
some day, they ars carefully looking up
very clew.

President Accepts Plan' for Polish

Inquiry Into Truth- About
r
'Jewish Pogroms.
BT HERBERT BATARD 6WOPE,
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished br arrangement.)
PARIS. June 24. (Special Cable.)
Consideration Is being given; a vital
suggestion that the allies form a high
committee of their conference members
which shall sit at Paris for some time
to come to answer questions which
are bound to arise in construing the
treaty. Frequent interpretation, it is
expected, will be necessary.
Who shall form America's represen
tation on this body is not yet known.
but it may be Secretary Lansing or
possibly Bernard M. Baruch. . The lat
ter is constantly mentioned as a mem
ber of the high reparations committee,
but he is disinclined to accept. His
position on the reparations question Is
sound, and his understanding of the
subject has 'won for him the support
of -both the British and the French, al
though he has frequently been- at
variance in Judgment with both. The
real work on the treaty, will only be
gin with the signing. After that the
heaviest, part remains, to be done.
I learn tonight that President Wil
son, having accepted the plan to send
a commission of inquiry to Poland to
learn the truth regarding Jewish po
groms will name Henry Morgenthau.
former ambassador to Turkey, and
Colonel Warwick Green, who did good
work for the Rockefeller foundation in
Europe previous to our entrance into
the war.
Jewish leaders here, who include
Justice Brandeis of the United States
supreme court, are' happy over this
action, for they say shocking evidence
will be developed that will bring crimes
directly to the door of certain govern
ment officials and will show Polish In
fluences' introduced pogroms into sec
tions where they had never been before
practiced. ,
Interest is aroused here by the news
of the. sinking of the German fleet at
Scapa "Flow. These vessels were In
terned, not surrendered, and therefore
the act was not treachery, although
clearly a breach .of trust. Until . the
treaty disposed of the ships they re
mained the property of Germany, so
she will claim the right to do with
them'as she pleased. .
It may. be that the sinking solved a
vexatious question,, for .."there were
grave difficulties in the way of ,arrang
ing an. amicable distribution of the
craft. .America has always contended
for destruction as being the most
equitable method, and it appears as if
she has won her point, but in a most
unexpected manner.
