BERLIN SITUATION BECOMING
INCREASING GRAVE SAYS A
DISPATCH RECD IN LONDON
(By United Press)
LONDON. Order has been restor
(m! by 'the government troops in Ham
burg but the situation in Berlin is be
eominr increasingly grave according to
dispatches received here.
Charging conspiracy in starting the
nation-wide revolution the government
has ordered the arrest of all Com
munist and independent Socialist lead
ers in Berlin. A portion of the gar
rison now at the capitol has expressed
a formal desire to quit the city.
The fear is voiced that if the re
quest is not granted that the troops
might throw down their arms and re
fuse to serve longer leaving the capitol
inadequately protected in either event.
A FINE RECORD.
New high records for on-time pas
senger train service in the Southern
Region were set in May by the rail
roads under govenment control. Re
ports made public todaiv by the United
States Railroad Administration show
that of nearly fifty thousand trains
operated during the month by the 28
roads, 05.3 per cent maintained their
schedules. This topped the April record
of 94.3, which was believed to repre
sent a hitherto unequalled performance.
Such service was made possible by
enthusiastic individual effort and team
work, among the railroad men, stimu
lated by competition among the dif
ferent roads. For months special at
tention has been given to the passenger
train performance, with the purpose
of making it generally as nearly xuv
cent perfect, as possible. Though
the Regional director's office each line
has kept informed of what the othors
were doing, and a spirited race for
supremacy has resulted.
For seventeen larger roads, operating
47,403 trains, the May on-time record
was 95.4 per cent, compared with 94.6
in Anrll. The eleven smaller roads

WASHINGTON. Germany today signed the
Peace treaty. For nearly five years after a proud
lust for a monachy she started out to conquer the
world. Today her beaten people affixed its signa
ture to the allied bill of indebtedness of guilt.
As soon as word was flashed to America that the
treaty had been signed it was followed by a pro
clamation of President Wilson issued from the
White House.
The proclamation says: The treaty of peace has
been signed. It was acted upon in full and is sin
cere. The execution of its terms will furnish a -
starter for a new order of affairs in the world.
It is a severe treaty only because the great
wrongs done by Germany are to be righted and
repaired.
It imposes nothing Germany cannot do. She
can regain her rightful standing before the world
by her prompt and honorable fulfillment of its
terms.
Much more than a treaty of peace with Ger
many, it liberates a great people who never be
