President Wilson and party arrived here at nine o'clock this morning after an exhausting trip from the de vastated regions of Belgium and a visit to the principal points in that country. There was no demonstration up on the arrival oi; the president and he immediately motored to the Paris White House where at eleven o'clock the lentire delega tion of the Peace Conference met to consider the question of the at titude of Germany towards the signing of the tneaty and discuss the situation in the event they did not do so. '1 2 ' J " " II Mllllllllll I IIIIIIIHHI Hill" I .'.iJilHi wmmmmtmm i -- The Spartacists, who had wait ed and carefully prepared for this Germany's "darkest hour," to seize the reins of Government and sign with tonguei in cheek, made a desperate coup and lost, but not until after a bloody street battle. Quiet and order are restored, but fresh attacks are looked for. A half hundred prisoners recent Iy released from military prison, where they had been confined ior fepartacan and Communist ag itation, marched on the castle at dawn, disarmed the sentinels, and were about to rush in to "ar rest" the whole ministry, when, warned by premature shots, a strong force of Governement sol diers inside sprang to arms and administered to the attackers a smashing reception and driving them back into the street, where the battle was fought to a finish. Several of the Spartacans were captured and will be shot. The foiling- of the plot is due to the foresight of Minister of Defense Nbsk; and many of his party brethren, who a few days a- go attacked him at the Social De mocratic Convention here for his nithlessness," thanked him warmly for having prepared the strong-arm ' measures. Discussion of the revised treatv is thus far confined to the Assem bly's Peace Commisson, but open debate of the question of accep tance or rejection is about to be- irin. Everything that has been said in official quarters in the last twen ty four hours strengthens the im- ression that the present Govern ment cannot and will not sbm. The French imitation of the American mile isn't everything it might be but it is enough to fur ther entente cordiale between peasants "over there" and the large-percentage of the American Army which comes from the mul?-raising sections of America. This doughboy, of Headquarters Troop, Twenty-seventh division, and the accompanying water carrier of Beauval. have found a com mon interest in the 'humble animal who speaks all languages. NEW YORK GUARD BEEN MOBILIZED NEW YORK, June 20. Mobili zation of the Brooklyn Nathmnl Guardsmen has been ordered by Brigadier-General Robb. These units of the New York Guard with the exception of the Thir teenth Coast Artillery and Squad ron C, First Cavalry, are includ ed in th order. It was said at the Twenty third Regiment Armory that the mobilization was called for six o'clock P. M. last night. It was further stated by mili- jtary authorities that the plan is a .test one and has nothing t0 do i with the border trouble with Mex-lico. Ireland evinces a strong de termination to secure self-deter mination. . . :
