London, June 2. Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, when asked by a representative of the European press oureau wnetlier the German counter proposals would lead to negotiations, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Wireless Press, said he had cured himself of the habit of believing in such things. The chairman of the German delegation said: "I will do what I think right and await results. "According to an article in tlie Temps on Wednesday, our opponents seem to assume that the German counter proposals go beyond the lim its within which they wish to grant us a discussion. If this article interprets the view of the enemy lead ers, I hardly see how there can be any negotiations." The German Reply Washington, June 2. Germany, al though realizing that she must make sacrifices to obtain peace, is con- I vinced that the executions of the peace treaty as drawn "are more than the German people can bear." Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, head of the German peace delegaton, tnus sums up tne attitude oi tne uer man nation towards the proposed treaty of peace in a note to the al- leu and associated powers, outlining various German counter-proposals. he German note, delivered to Pre mier Clemenceau, president of the peace conterence, last inursday was made public last nignt Dy tne state department. The German delegation now here, in its note, asserts that it will refuse to sign the present treaty but de clares on the behalf of the German nation that "even in her need, justice for her is too sacred a thing to allow her to stoop to achieve conditions which she cannot undertake to carry out." Exclusion of Germany from the leaeue of nations, the note asserts, means that in signing the peace treaty Germany would be executing a "decree for its own proscription, nay its own death sentence." The German people, the note says, h.ivp been disaDDointed in their "hope for a peace of justice which had been promised, ana siaiiu "aghast" at the demands made upon them by the "victorous violence oi our enemies.

A Fine Sermon "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might," was the text of Dr. Bauslin's baccalaureate sermon yesterday morning at Lenoir College. Dr. Bauslin is general sec retary of the board of education of the United Lutheran church in Amer ica, and is thoroughly familiar, not only with educational conditions in the church but with the great prob lems which are confronting the thinkers of today who are laying the foundations of a new world order. The sermon was a magnificent setting forth of "The Call of a New Crusade" not the redemption of a holy sepul Mivp frnm nnVioW Saracens, but the redemption of the v.vid from every thing sordid and mc?.n. In this great task ever-yone h:. a i i'.rt: the minis ter and the layman. "It is perhaps too much to hope," said tha speaker, "that every young man of the gradu ating class should become a minister, nor is that necessary; physicians, lawyers, busings men, artisans, pur suing their cal.ings under the inspir ation of the vifden of a new world ran rnnirihuLe their share toward the accomplishment of the great task of world deconstruction. and they are called to do so. Peter was a fish t.vmrm Pmil a tent-maker. Jesus a carpenter; but their impress on the world is lmnenshaDie.
