GERMANS HOLDING BACK.
Nobodv Wants Onus of Signing Trea.
ty and the Momentous Event May,
Not Take Pace Till Saturday or
Monday.
The Associated Press this morning'
gave the f olowing :
Another day has passed with the!
delegates of the allied and associated
nnwpra in Pnria AwaitinST l Vain
definite word from the Germans as I'the following :
t.n when thov will h teaAv to sieni' Unofficially Friday
the peace treaty. Unofficial opinion in
the French capital, is that the mo
mentous event will not take place
before Saturday and possibly not un
til Monday. The council of four wasi'
informed that during Wednesday the
German government was busily en
gaged in trying to arrange the per
sonnel of its delegation in Versailles.
The Germans thus far have given
no intimation as to what men are to
be the choice of the Bauer govern
ment. Unofficial advices indicate that
the cabinet is experiencing great dif
ficulty in finding men who are will
ing to take upon their shoulders the
duty of acknowledging in a docu
ment which will become world fam
ous Germany's utter defeat in the
war and her unqualified acquiescence
to the, terroa of the victors.
k- nepvts arT that Herman 7liur
foreign secretary in the Bauer cab
inet, like Dr. Haniel von Haimhausen,
declined to accept the onus for sign
ing a treaty admittedly obnoxious to
the Germans. Even a visit Wednes
day to Versailles, where the members
of the original German delegation
still are, by the general secretary of
the peace conference failed to develop
any knowledge of what was being
done in Germany toward the selection
of plenipotentiaries.
Paris dispatches assert that owing
to the uncertainty of the situation
the heads of the allied and associat
ed powers are contemplating the issue
of an ultimatum setting a day and a
time for the appearance of the Ger
mans before the peace congress to
sijn the treaty.

FRIDAY TIME SET FOR
SIGNING PEACE TREATY
It la Expected That Mgning win
Last Two Hours Mr. Wilson Will
Use the President's Seal No
Speerh Expected From the Ger.
mans German Delegates Will Sign
After the Allies.
A Pans dispatch of the 24th gives
afternon has
been set as the time fr the ceremony
of signing the peace treaty of the
allied and associated powers on De
half of Germany.
While the German plenipotentiaries
have not been announced, advices
from Weimar are to the effect that
they will arrive in Versailles Friday
morning,
M. Clemenceau will open the cere
monies with a brief introduction. No
speech is expected from the Germans.
William Martin, of the French for
eign office, as master of ceremonies
will then carry the treaty to Presi
dent Wilson and the premiers who
will sign at their seats.
After the treaty is brought back
to the signature table, the names
of the other delegates will be called
and they v,'i!l advance and sign.
- It is-Xi-i-t-iheigttr-wjKi
last two hours The seals or all the
delegates will be affixed in advance,
many of them are aready in the
fhand of the French foreign office.
President Wilson is using the Pres
ident's seal, which is an eagle, with
the words "Seal of the President of
the United States.
Some of the seals supplied by the
delegates are merely monograms u
'adorned, in striking contrast to the
elaborate coats of arms supplied by
rremier raaerewsKi, oi i-oiana, am
other Eoropean officials. The French
treaty experts regard the Chinese
and Japanese seals as the most ar
tistic. These are chiefly the names
'of the delegates in Oriental and
quaint figures.
The expectation was that strictly
personal seals would be used but like
President Wilson, M. Vandervelde
representing Belgium is using an of
ficial seal the Belgian coat of arms
encircled with the words "Minister
cf Justice."
The German delegates will sign
after the Allies'.
The order in which the allied dele
gates will sign after the signatures
of the President and premiers are
attached will be according to the al
phabetical order of the nan:e; cf the
countries they represent. When the
signatures are completed, the En
tente party( wUjejrgf, on the ter
race at the side of the palace, where,
all the great fountains will be playing
in the gardens. The Germans will
leave on the side wjhere they entered.

the farmers were ready for it. The ,n the fcapa Flow by the skeleton
j crops ns a whole are fairly gool.
Peas are very scarce and if the
farmers don't watch out there will be
another hay panic for next season.
If peas are high farmers should
plant them and in the future save
your seed. It is amazing to see how
many farmers are buying hay when
they should sell hay... The high
price of cotton should not excite any
farmer to the extent that he should
not look out for plenty of feed stuff.
