REFUSED BY TEUTONS BERLIN, Aug. 15.—(By Associated Press.)—G a note refusing the allied demand to recall General Von Der Goltz, German commander in the Baltic, denies the charge that German evacuation of Letvia was delayed purposely and s its proceeding is in accordance with a plan arranged at tween the German commander and British’ General Gough, allied commander. The German note adds that it cannot meet any demands going beyond article XII of the armistice. The demand for the recall of Goltz, it is asserted, is an encroachment on the authority of Germany, whieh re- serves the right to recall the general when evacuation of Letvia is sufficiently advanced.

This attitude donment of negotiations which prom- will even consider has caused the aban- ised to develop into a compromise on mild reservations.

The amendments would have to be approved by Germany, thus putting America in the position ance of peace conditions. President Wilson said today that if the senate made it necessary to negotiate a separate peace with Ger- many, he would send Senators Knox | and Lodge to Berlin for this purpose.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—Efforts by the Democrats to agree with the Republicans on the reser- vations program were abandoned today as a result of President Wilson's attitude. The president has strongly discouraged even the discussion of reservations by the Democrats. The president wants the Democrats to concentrate their efforts on defeating all proposals to amend the treaty. While it is generally believed that treaty opponents cannot muster enough votes to make the gen- eral textual amendments, the president wants the slightest possibility of the amendment of any section re- NO MONOPOLY ON PRETTY ANKLES AND FEET IN PARIS, FRENCH ARE TOLD BY BUYER AT FASHION FETE Masculine Effect Dropped and Feminine Styles Return with Coming of Peace; ‘Americans More Independent Now 2gotiations Are in Peace Treaty Ansoctated PARIS, Aug. 16.—(Delayed.)—Parie ’ Feret real display of styles since the war was today attended by about 300 American buyers, who, of Dr--Mamie Tanquary, al and chau» however, are showing themselves more independent. of the dictates French dressmakers than ever before.
