peace treaty
feeling «more than the German peo
pie can bear."
Count von Brockdorff-Ran-
tzau of the German peace
delegation thus sums up the
attitude of the German na-
tion toward the proposed
treaty of peace in a note to
the allied and asociated pow-
ers outlining various German
counter proposals. The Ger-
man note, delivered to Pre-
mier Clemenceau last Thurs-
day was made public tonight
by the state department.
"Cannot Carry Out."
"The German delegation, no-
where in its note, asserts that it
will refuse to sign the present
treaty, but declares on behalf of
the German nation that "even in
her need, justice for her is too
sacred a thing to allow her to
stoop to achieve conditions which
she cannot undertake to carry out.'
Action of Germany from
the league of nations, the
note asserts, means that in
signing the peace treaty Ger-
many would be executing a
"decree for its own prescription,
nay, its own death sentence."
The German people, the note
says, have been disappointed in
their "hope for a peace of justice,
which had been promised and
stand "aghast" at demands made
upon them by the "victorious vio-
lence of our enemies."
Outlining its counter proposals,
the German delegation agrees to
the reduction of Germany's army
and navy on condition that Ger-
many be admitted immediately to
the league of nations; to renounce
Germany's sovereign rights in Al-
sace-Lorraine and Posen but as to
all other territories, which Ger-
many is called upon to give, the
principle of self-determination,
applicable at once, is asked; to
subject all German colonies to ad-
ministration by the league of na-
tions, but under German manda-
tory and to make the indemnity
payments as required fyut in
amounts that will burden the Ger-
man taxpayer no more heavily
burdened among those represented
on the reparations committee.
The note declares Germany
is willing to pool her entire
merchant marine with that of
participation in the inquiry as
to responsibility for the war is
the associated powers. Neutral

WAS JUST AS COLD
ONE YEAR AGO T01) W
You may have thought the
weather rather chilly here this
morning but it wasn't that is,
compared with the weather on
June 2 a year ago, says the Okla-
homa City Times.
Thermometers of the Oklahoma
City weather observatory this
morning registered 49 degrees
above zero—17 degress above
freezing. On June 2, 1918, how-
ever, the mercury dropped to 46
degrees, it was said by ^weather
observers today.
Today's cold weather was caused
by a high-pressure area which cen-
tered over Colorado last night and
extended down into Texas, lhis
area is expected to remain at least
forty-eight hours and cool weather
therefore is expected here for the
same period.

the naval airplane had covered half

them to be half seas over. But it

War Mothers on
Decoration Day
The War Mothers, assisted by
the ladies of the G. A. R. Circle,
entertained the soldiers of tr.e
civil war as well as those of the
Spanish and European wars, at a
luncheon picnic in the Norman
city park on the north side of the
city on Decoration day. The menu
consisted of weinie wursts, hot
baked beans, hot rolb, country
butter, pickles, radishes, hot cof-
fee and other substantials. There
was a goodly number present, al-
though, owing to a misunderstand-
! ing about the location of the pic-
I nic, quite a few persons met at the
| Citizens park on Main street,
! where they were found after some
delay by Mi;s. Tucker and John
Cheadle and taken in cars to the
park.
After the "luncheon a program
was rendered, l)r. Brooks making
an address that was enjoyed by all
present. Miss Lucille Carson
gave two very beautiful and ap-
propriate readings in her usual
pleasing manner. Lieut. Oakcs,
after much urging, modestly gave
rn interesting talk on his exper-
iences overseas. Mrs. Cummings
of Kingfisher, widow of an old
soldier, made a charming speech,
afterwards reading an original
poem. Mrs. Cheadle then gave an
entertaining talk, outlining what
I the War Mothers desired to do, af-
ter which Mr. John Hardie pro-
nounced the benediction upon a
very pleasant day.
