Center, local painter, who hus fulled to return to the city after leaving ut 10 o'clock yesterday morning on a short fishing trip. A search party composed of two auto louds of men left at 9 o'clock this morning, and another earful followed an hour later. At the time of Center's departure, he told friends that he would be gone for only a short time, and that he did not Intend to remain out long Is evidenced b the fact that he took no luncheon with him. He is thought to have gone down the river, and the search is being prose cuted In that direction. Center's prolonged absence was first noted at the Altamont, where he rooms, when he was missed at breakfast, and when later Investiga tions showed that ho had not come in all night. A. E. Stevens, in whose shop he works, was called up, and the organization of the search party followed. As it would be virtually impossible for anyone walking along the river north of the city to lose his way, It is feared that the missing man may be the victim of nn accident which has prevented his return.

The German delegates express astonish ment at the contents of the treaty, convinced that it cannot be fulfilled. and declaring that to do so would be entirely beyond Germany's strength. It would virtually sentence the ! Germans to slavery, they say, strip- and yet compelling heavy repara tions. It removes German territory without any semblance of self determination, it Is contended, while the whole people are compelled to subscribe to their own death sen tence. TREATY SESSION SECRET.
