By Fred S. Terguson
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Paris, May 22. The German peace
delegation will make an eleventh-hour
bluff to break off negotiations, just to
test the allies' determination, according
to belief expressed in official French
circles today. 0"'? the enemy sees the
allies mean business, realizes the eco
nomic blockade will be tightened, auu
sees the allied armies spring to atten
tion rendyto march into Germany eith
er the present or a substituted delega
tion will sig.i "under protest" is the
way the trench have it figured out.
Damage Bill Big Factor.
In some quarters the belief continued
to tirow that Foreign Minister Brock
dorffRnntzaii personally will refuse to
ligu the document in its present form,
regardless of wh-t his associates may
do. His expected withdrawal, it was
said, would form the basis for the Oer
iii.tib' bluff. ,
The amount of bill for damages and
demand for its immediate presentation
promises to be the biggest single fac
tor in the Gorman's counter proposals,
according to the belief expressed after
publication of the :Broekdnrff-Rantzau
Tequest for extension of the time limit
for discussion of -terms. All other con
siderations, if was expected will be
subordinated to fh,e question of money
and commerce.
Soar Settlement Up
Rroe.kdorff -Rant7.au, it was forecast
will dork to point out to the allies that
it is to the latter 'g own licncnt to
make sufficient concessions to enable
Germany to live up to the treaty. He
will declare, it was believed, that it
will be impossible for Germany to
aim a trlnnk checfc for an indefinite
amount of reparations.
The "big four" this morning took
up the German protest regarding the
condition under which France will ob
tnin valuable concessions in. the Saar
vullev. This served as a break in dis
mission of distribution of mandatories
over former Turkish territories which
tn occupied the .it ten t ion of the "big
four" for several days.

HUN TREAT! NOT SAT WT0R1

Best That Can Be Secured
Declare His Friends.-
By Lowell Mellett
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
(Copyright, 1919, by The United Press)
Paris, May 22.-That President Wilson himself is not
satisfied with the German peace treaty, is the answer his
friends made today to the accumulated objections of many
of the American commission
week through tentative resignation of nine of the members.
The president, his friend said, be !
lieves the treaty is the best It is pos
sible to obtain, considering all the con
dition and circumstances as near as he
was ableto make it to represent the
principles for which he fought through
six weary months.
Associates of the president said when
the whole story of the peace confer
ence is told it will be understood why
the treaty contains just what it does
and why there were certain omiigions.
It will be a story,' they dclniod, of
agreements made one day aid tlcuted
the next; of understait linr I n ia-tak-ingly
arrived at thio"".i d: and
nights of labor lastirn for weks, only
to be overturned without forewarning.
The president, it was said, accepts the
treaty as an accomplished fact, however'
now that it is in its final form.
Filial Revision's (lade.
According to information from au
thoritative American sources, the final!
form of the treaty is not that in which

this is the reason it bus not been pub

fact that as printed it did not represent
the exact agreements reached Dy tne
peace conference. As an example ot
this, the night the treaty was printed
President Wilson was awakened at mid
night and informed of two important
alterations. He called one of the "Big'fl'iee he will lose no time,
Four" on the telephone and the latter
admitted he had made the alterations,
but expected to explain the next day.
Another such alteration was discovered
later, effecting the Knar valley and re
sulted in a similar admission by a rep
resentative of a rertuid country. As a
consequence, various members of the
American commission Jisve been going

.At First Concert Of Year
A throng estimated at not less than
501H) waa massed in Willson Park kt
evening to greet the Cherriaa bund in its
initial concert and to witness the illumi
nation of the fountain. It was such a
aight as one may expect ia early sum
mer in Kalem, everyone was in good
humor, and both the visitor in our midst
and the nuive, and sociability was an-
confined. Director Kteelhaminer had
his group of musicians in good form and
they delivered their program of old
favorites and new numbers in a manner
that waa vastly pleasing to the crowd.
Mrs. Durdall, the soloist of the wx.ii.ui.
was greeted enthusiastically. Hensing
the popular feeling, she did not present
grand opera,-but gave them the "f'tar
Spangled Banner," and "Old Vir
ginia" with a fine effect. Late la tat
evening the big fountain was put
through its round of varied peiform
nces with tho illuminations playing
upon it, and to those who saw it for the
firat time it was a feature out of fairy
