The conference met to hear a summary of the Austrian treaty read, and just before the session Premier Venizoles of Greece and T. C. Bratiano, former premier of Rumania, engaged in a wordy argument. As soon as the conference convened Bratiano arose and requested a forty-eight hour postponement in the name of the Balkan states. The request was granted. All of the German counter proposals were delivered to the French foreign office today. They comprise about 60,000 words. The proposals will declare that, regarding the colonies the Allied terms are in contradiction to a just peace and are dominated by the principle that might is greater than right. Re- garding responsibilities, the document says Germany is ready to recognize that she and her allies are responsible for all the damages caused to their adversaries, when it is an historic fact that some of her adversaries, such as Italy and Roumania, enter- ed the war with a view to territorial conquest. The covenant of the League of Nations is declared to be in contradiction with numerous declarations of Germany’s adversaries and that it does not realize a genuine League of Nations.

Most everyone is more or less familiar with Read’s books and his short stories which appear in the current magazines, It is said that his speeches are as interesting as his books and he has come to hold a high place among the platform speakers of America. Opi Read belongs to the old school of American journalists a type now passing. In the old days Opie edited country papers in the rural districts of Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkan- sas and it was in these localities that he found material for his best stories. He recelved his newspaper training under ‘‘Marse” Henry Wat- terson, the veteran editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. Some time ago Mr. Read was elect- ed to the presidency of the Chicago Press club, an organization made up of the newspaper men of Chicago and the authors and magazine writers through the Middle West, This or- ganization maintains elegant club rooms in Chicago and it is there that Opie may be found most of the time when he is not out filling lecture en- gagements. As a humorous philosopher and orator it is said that Opie Read stands alone. He represents, it is said, all that is best in southern oratory.
