NTO GERMANY Heavy Artillery of Unrevealed Power to Support Allied Advance If Ger mans Refuse to Sian Majority Peace Commission Believe Huns Will Not Accept. .'.-.' PAfllS, June 17. The majority of the members of tho peace conference believe Germany will not fiiKn the peace treaty, according to Marcel Hutln of the Echo de Paris, who made a. canvass of a number of the leading personalities of the peace making body. Only one of these leaders, M. Hutln declares, expressed the opinion that the Gremans would accept the revised treaty. This mem ber, however, la one whose opinion the writer says he holds in the great- eat esteem. The delegate In question, M. Hutln explains, based his opinion that the Germans will sign the treaty on the fact that they have knowledge that at yesterday's meeting of the council of four a complete agreement was reached on the consequencea which would follow Germany's refusal of the proffered peace. They were aware, the delegate pointed out, that orders had been given lor an allied force of 600,000 men supported by heavy artillery of hitherto unreveal ed power, to begin an advance on the morning of June 24. Confronted by such realities, which alone count with them, the German government and the national assembly at Weimar will decide to sigit the treaty. ' WEIMAR, June 17.

Every official and every member of the foreign office available ex pressed the deepest pessimism and resentment at the alleged cruelty of the terms. The Germans were especially em bittered over a report that a French mob had stoned the helpless German delegates at Versailles. 80LSHEVIKI LOSE LONDON'. Juno 17.
