PARIS, May 30.—Such modifications of the German treaty as may be made in response to German counter proposals will be limited to economic reparation, in territorial sections. Many responsible persons admit that the economic provisions are “pretty stiff.” The reparations plan also has been freely criticised.

The latter dropped one gun and _ slipped the other into his pocket as Koenig seized him by the lapels of his coat and | butted him with his head. Another | blow felled him to the floor and a minute later he was struggling with his captors on the outside. HOLDUP IS TAKEN AS JOKE BY EMPLOYES. The holdup took place a few min- utes after the closing hour at 9:00 o’clock, the lock having barely been slipped on the door and the activities ef cleaning up started when a mask- ed man entered the back door and leveling two guns at him, one an automatic and the other a six-shooter, | by way of emphasis. The employe did {as he was told, thinking that the bunch was to be made the victims of, a practical joke. Others, in carrying meats to the back room and basement, were halted in their work and told to go back in the front room. Before the gravity of the situation dawned on the employes seven men were lined up in the front room in plain sight of the street by a holdup whose nerv- ousness demonstrated that he was an amateur.

While the graves of some 70,000 Americans were being deco- | vated in far-off France and Britain, comrades of the men who | fought beside, keen with the realization of their sacrifice, were | ready to assist with honors paid them! here, and replaced the depleted ranks the graves of their comrades. Plans t de Paris said: “The refusal to deliver the kaiser for trial shows the solidarity of the new and old regime.” The Germans GREEK FORCES ARE LANDED ON TURKISH COAST PARIS, May 30.—Greek forces landed yesterday at. Aviali, on the coast of Asia Minor. Turkish troons are trying to provoke conflicts be- tween the Allies, the Petit Journal says. VERSAILLES, May 30.—Two new notes were delivered to the secreta- riat of the peace conference by the German delegates today. At the same time the Germans handed over French and English translations of the first there offered only slight opposition section of the counter proposals which accosted one of the men in a rear| room by telling him to “go up front,’ of the G. A. R. veterans for whom the tribute was first conceived. No llonger in Casper does the thin blue Iline of the old soldiers move with |tottering step toward the sacred dust of their comrades, their num- bers having been reduced to the van- ishing point, but in their stead there marches a stalwart army of young men, survivors of '98 and the world war, and these inspire a realization of the duties ‘that their sacrifice has laid upon us of fulfilling their hopes and purposes to the utmost.” Such is the feeling that will grip the Decoration day throngs who wit- {ness the march of veterans today as they pass in review in the most im- pressive parade ever conceived in the ‘annals of memorial rites in Cas- | per. Delayed by the rain which was precipitated intermittently from a leaden sky this morning, the pzrade has been postponed until after the program at the Iris this afternoon and véterans of the world war who assembled at 9:30 to participate in the tribute were disbanded until later jn the day when it was hoped that conditions would be favorable for carrying out thé parade as scheduled. The Spanish war veterans, how |ever, chartered cars for the trip to! the cemetery where they decorated SG DL, for the services there this evening including the decoration of 35 graves of veterans and the firing of military salutes by a picked squad from the world war veterans. Casper people also will take advantage of the oc- casion to brighten up the resting places of loved ones. Indications are that a record break- ing crowd wil] attend the memorial services at the Iris theater at 2:00 o’clock, at which time eulogies will be delivered in prayer, songs and ad-| holder, and “Kid” Regan dresses on the services of those who maintained the supremacy of the con- stitution, who thwarted the autocratic oppression of helpless peoples and who assisted in liberating the world “from one of the most serious dan- gers to which free government and free life of men were ever exposed.” ~ ASSAULTS HER HUSBAND HUDSON, Wyo., May 29.—Mrs. Matilda Kreer, wife of Alvorez Kreer, is in the county jail: following an al- leged assault on her husband. two had lived together peacefully for many years, but Mrs. Kreer had a hallucination which led her to try to kill her husband as he lay asleep.
