SO MRR ee eA eRe GERMAN PRESS BEGINS 115 HOWL AGAINST TREATY French Honor—British Press Generally Approves. BERLIN, May 8 (United Press).— The press, commenting on an ad- to-day, declared that several of the points could not be accepted. The Tageblatt said that 100,000 sol- diers are not sufMctent to maintain in- ternal order and added: “We decline to ha) n eternal state of anarchy.” ‘The newspapers pronounce the in- domnity excessive and denounced dis- position of Danzig and the Saar al- ley. | PARIS, May 8 (Havas).—The gen- jeral comment of the Paris news- papers on the treaty is that in ft the honor of France has been satisfied, and the efforts of its authors to give | satisfaction to the legitimate claims to the nations wronged by Gorman aggression are acknowledged. In some quarters the hint of the head of the German peace delegation that Germany would try to obtain the right to carry gut herself the restoration of the devastated districts of France and Belgium is interpreted |as being made with the probable in- tention of gaining an opportunity to introduce German exports and obtain new customers. LONDON, May 8.—The peace terms, while receiving considerable approval from almost the entire London press, do not escape from sharp criticism on certain points, The objections centre mainly on the question of financ's) compensation trom Germany, Some newspapers are dissatisfied because they consider that the terms are too severe. Others think they are not severe enough. The Morning Post finda it difficult to say whether the treaty is good or bad because of the “complexity and intricacy of the terms,” but is emphatic in declaring that the value of the treaty depends upon the power to enforce tt, “as Ger- many certainly will not accept it ex- cept under duress,” The Daily Mail fears that Great Britain will find the terms very far short of the pledges made by Prenier Lloyd George. The treaty is described by the Daily Telegraph as being stern and strin- gent throughout although without a uace of the brutal exercise of mere victorious force. “It Is rigidly a peace of justice,” the Telegraph adds, The Daily Chronicle ference missed an opportunity as re- gards Poland and fears faat Polish settlement may in the future prove the weak point of the |treaty.

VERSAILLES, May 8 (Assoz‘ate. Press)—The German delegateg to the Peace Congress complained bitterly this morning to one of the French liaison officers of the unexpected harshness of the conditions of peace. The delegates said they had expected from the newspaper reportg that the demands in many respects would be far-reaching, but were not prépared for the terms as actually laid down in the printed copy, of the document. PARIS, May 8.—That Germany will make known her decision rée garding the peace treaty well within the 15-day time limit for discussion was the opinion that prevailed in Allied circles here to-day. Copies of the treaty were being rushed to Weimar to-day and were expected to be in the hands of President Ebert and his Government be- fore night, GERMANS AT WORK ON THEIR REPORT. The German delegates worked almost all night at Versailles dissect. ing and analyzing the text of the peace treaty. Forcign Minister Brock+ dorff-Rantzau to-day was preparing a full report, which willbe sent to Berlin by special courier. In addition to the loss of 1,076,607 square miles of territory, 47, of which are Within the confines of the German Empire, the Germarfs will find themselves saddled with an additional loss of $80,600,000,000, It has been practically decided that in addition to the $5,000,000,000 Germany must pay within two years, aefurther sum of $20,000,000,000 must be paid within thirty years, a total of $25,000,000,000 for repara- tions. DIVISION OF THE REPARATION FUND. Sir John Foster, Paris correspondent of the London Evening Stan- dard, has wired his paper that it has been decided that in the division of the staggering sum, France is to receive $12,500,000,000, while $7,500, 000,000 will go to Great Britain, $1,800,000,000 to Belgium and $3,200,000,000 will be divided between Italy and Serbia, Foster de- clares America will get none of this sum, all her claims for war losses being easily met by the sums seized in {he United States by the Alien Property Custodian, Neither will Japan get any cash. After sie has paid this sum, Germany will be bearing a total debt of $80,600,000,000, caused solely hy her war lust. Of this, $41,000, 00,000 was expended for the conduct of the war, the German territory Europe lost is valued at $12,000,000,000, reparations are put at $25,- 400,000,000, $400,000,000 must be spent to make good the shipping losses caused by her submarines, and the surrender of half her merchant feet, while the naval ships she must sawrrender are valued at $500,000,000, and she has surrendered military equipment valued at $1,000,000,000, another $700,000,000 being added as the value of her lost colonies, | LOSSES BY GERMANY IN EUROPE AND COLONIES. | The cctonies lost by Germany comprised 1,075,607 square mules, sf | «hile 47,787 square miles in the German Empire are seized, a total of | one-fifth the entire Empire in Europe, The German Empire in cua Lefore these seizures, comprised only 208,780 square miles, Intimations reaching the Peace Conference from Versailles lead to tl belief that two or three members of the German peace delegation probably reluin lo Germany to codsull their Goveriunent, ihe others maining at Versailles, ' Germany has not yet submitted any communication with, she Peace Treaty, All the exchanges between the delegation Soemovenenr ne eas oS ae
