Northwest, an 3 HAIL TREATY MADE WITHOUT DICTATION Germans in Comment Make Point That It Is Agree- ment by Equals. (By Cable to The Star and New York Tribune, | 7z Copyright 1921.) BERLIN, August 27.—German news- papers and officials see, as the most striking difference between the treaty with the United States, signed yester- day, and the document drawn up at Versailles, the absence of dictation in the German-American document and the evidence that it is an agrecment between equals. All the newspapers here point out that the treaty marks a turning point inrelations, not only between the United States and Germany, but also between Germany and other nations as well. Repeal of Obligations. The Berlin Tageblatt says: “The treaty differs essentially from the' pact of Versailles in that it wasn't forced on Germany. It implies also the re- {peal of the obligations assumed by the United States toward its allles upon its entrance into the war. The American people have refused to give !approval to Woodrow Wilson’s work. They have settled their account with Versailles and the transaction's bal- ance is aj hand.” A DOLLAR FOR PAINT —now will save you nine dollars spent for repairs later, due to lack of proper care of the surface of your home. “Save the Surface.” Interior and Exterior Work. =.

The Tageblatt goes o “In general, the new treaty breathes he spirit of sober, practical business. This is _the best basis for the only restoration of peace.” Referring to the clause of the treaty with reference to the restora- tion of friendly relations between the two countries, Gegmania, the chan- cellor's mouthpiece, says : “This promises well for the future. It is a symbol of the new relations between Germany and the United States, which, like those before the war, will be of the best.” Interests of Both Countries, The Vossische Zeltung asserts that the treaty gives the United States much the advantage for helping or indering Germany, and expresses hope that America will utilize the jinstrument in the just interests of both countries. “The gain accruing to Germany under this treaty is not in what it stipulates, but in what it makes pos- sible,” the newspaper says. “Through this treaty the United States can be eliminated as an opponent and merci- less. creditor. It can permit the United States to follow a policy -of co-operation with Germany. The entire liberal and coalition press comments on_the pact in much the same tones as the foregoing, urg- ing the quick resumption of ambas- sadorial and consular relations. RAIL LEADERS PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED STRIKE On Guard During Night in Fear of ‘Walkout Because of Decision Made by Labor Board. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 27.—Rallway |union leaders kept watch tonight to { guard against any unauthorized walk- out of shopmen which it was feared {might develop in protest against the wage reduction decision of the rail- {'road labor board. {- While B. M. Jewell, president, and Six other officials of the Federated iShop Crafts, rejected altogether the |labor board’s order cutting overtime ipay, they warned the men against quitting work at this time. The fact that a strike vote taken by |the shopmen several weeks ago, in jconnection with the wage reduction effective June 30, was reported to have been strongly in favor of a walkout, ladds to the seriousness of the situa- tion, it was said tonight by union of- jficials. The fear that an unauthorized | strike might develop tomorrow was |sald to be the outgrowth of resent- ment felt against the new rule of the abor board depriving men regularly ssigned to Sunday work of time and | one-half overtime pay.
