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. The new al
lied terms reached here late last
night and the first apparent effect
upon the Gerhian leaders who re
mained awake to wait for the terms
was -thai of depression. A report
passed readily thru the old castle
where the government heads are re
siding temporarily that tho signing
of the peace terms by Germany was
highly improbable.
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.
