HON FRED IS CHOSEN AS COUNTY AGEN T LOCAL METHODISTS FAR EXCEED QUOTA BY CARL D. OHOAT. (United Press Hmtt Correspondent ) WKIMKIt, June 18. (lermany fears the consequences of rejecting the re- vised peace treaty. This attitude la apparent In government circle. The opposition has not abated on whit fol lowing receipt of the official sum marisation of the revised terms from Versa II If, but there Im prospect of the allies' Invasion, economic block ade, bou-hevlm and a food shortage. J to lnhevlH.it te obviously Um emuiat-1. ing Influence here. Astonishment and anger at what i regarded an utter disregard of the Gorman counters are versed on all Idea. No government official Is found who conaldered the concessions sufficient- The tendency now Is lo criticise America for ' the situation Germany finds herself In rather than Itritaln and France. A general sentiment is expressed, however, thut signing by the present government is Importable One au thority declared It Is doubtful even if Rrockdorff-Itantsau will return to j Versailles, especially In view of the j demonstration of French civilians there as the German delegation was about to entrain for Weimar. The stoning of the delegates with conse quent Injury to Frau Dernbussh and Herr Myers, Is regarded as a breach of all diplomatic relations. It Is sug gested that If Germany's decision In adverse, Secretary Hanlal, In Ver sailles, would merely be Instructed to report the fact. If the present government cannot see Its way clear to sign It appears certain that a substitute government will be Immediately organised with Independent (Socialists dominating Such a government would accept the terms with support of the bulk of Ger man commoners. - The Dalles district in the Methodist Centenary drive; Is over, the top with $101,545. or $1000 over the assigned quota, of which Pendleton district contributed I19.H02, or $3004 over her quota, according to Tt.

The- Poles would advance from the east, the Czechoslovaks from th s'-uth, and nearly a n.illlon French. British, ftelgiafts and Americans from j the west, while on the north the British fleet would bottle up Germany and complete her economic helplessness. I Great pressure will be exerted by the allied armies now stretching .along the Herman frontier from Holland to Hwitzerland. The Germans j could not muster more than half a million men to oppose the allies. With, 'out airplanes, with inadequate artillery and transportation facilities. Ger jman resistance would apparently be oily nominal. j While occupation of Berlin would be one objective should It be ne- ceia ry for the. allies to advance that far before the Germans capitulated, allied authorities admit that seizure of the capital would be Important only through' Ita moral effect. The allies' main objects.
