GERMAN SPECULATES OVER
REPLY WHEN HOLLwEG OFFERS
TO REPLACE
Former Chancellor Wished
to Make Appeal May 20,
but Government Objected.
PRESS IS SILENT OR
BITTER OVER TERMS
"Honor Has Been Buried"
is Declared; Papers are
i Suppressed.
BERLIN", June 30. The Germnn
reactionary press ia mostly silent re
garding the signing of the treaty.
Several papers, however are out spo
ken In their bitterness toward the
terms.
"Signing Is treason." said the Ber-
Iner Neustes Nachrichtcn. "The next
general election will show what the
Germans think of the treaty.'
"It is a scrap of paper," declared
the Taxeblatt. The National Si el tun
says the treaty "reduces the cultured
people of Germany to a level with
American Creole states.
The most violent article appeared
In the Deutsche which declared:
"A peace of violenec hoe been signed
at Versailles, Germany's honor has
been buried. Only incessant toll wfll
enable us to reauin our place among
the nations of the world."
The papers were suppressed by the
government.
Much speculation is Indulged In as
to how the allies will receive an appeal
from Von Hethmann Hollweg that he
be tried Instead of the former kaiser
for responsibility In the causing of
the war. The former chancellor
wished to offer himself as a scape
goat on May 20 but refrained at re
quest of the government.
Trolly and subway workers voted
for a general strike to be called Mon
day. Armed trains and tanks have
arrived In the vicinity of Hamburg
but It Is not known whether they
entered the city.
MORE THAN HALF OE
CITY'S QUOTA IS IN
More than half the money to be
raised In Pendleton for the Salvation
Army home service extension was In
the hands of t'halrmnn P. K. Judrt to
day and precinct captalnB in nearly
every precinct were hard at work try
Ins; to finish up the drive today. More
than 11325 had been turned in to Mr.
Judd this mornlna-and turnovers came
so rapidly later that an accurate
check of the total was not kept.
Fire Chief V. E. Kinaold is hiuh
man so far In the drive. The chief
had reported I45S.60 this mornlnu
for himself and by 1 1 o'clock was tn
with $7.7ll which ha had collected
for B. P. Tulloch. He returned to get
mora subscriptions and bids fair to
total 00 before the drive is ended.
K. P. Marshall had a good total
this morninir, having 3"9 turned In
with two mora lista to be heard from.
Several others have not made any re
port and are known to have taken In
a large amount In subscriptions.
One old gentleman hardly able, ac
cording to Mr. Rlngold. to give as
much as he did, subscribed for a but
ton and gave the chief 25 cents. An
other Instance of where the cause of
the Salvation Army was espoused by
the poor vai the subscription of a
woman who gave C. P. Mtraln a dime
and said she wished she might afford
more.
