THE Mcmrsnr PLAmBEALER, McTIENRt, ItL. ENEMY REPLY IS a GIVEN TO PUBLIC ^Germans Cite Injustice of Treaty 1{n |ts Present ^ SOlilARY ISSUED BY ALLIES ' Answer Charge* That Original Pact Constitutes a Breach of the Sol- «nn Armistice Agreement Baaed ; on Wilsonian 14 Points* Paris, June 16.--"Germany's importance is independent of her temporary military and political position. If she is not admitted (to the League of Na- • tions) immediately on the signing of peace It is impossible to apeak of R League of Nations." This is one of the points raised by Germany in her 00,000 word reply to the peace treaty, in which she makes a long series of counter-proposals. A summary of that reply was issued by the committee on public information on the eve of the delivery to Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau by the allies of the amended pact. On the whole the summary covers . little new ground, the main points of the German arguments having been covered in press dispatches during the last few weeks. Beyond putting official stamp on those dispatches the summary reveals, however, some Interesting details. It shows, also, that the German reply was much stronger, hfoth in text and tenor of protests qnd coun.ter-demands, than hitherto Indicated. -- Main Thread of Reply. The main thread of the German answer is the charge that the" original peace treaty constitutes a breach of the solemn armistice agreement, ba&d on the Wilsonian 14 points. It says the treaty would mean "the complete enslavement of the German people and the betrayal of all the world's eherlskftd hopes of peace." The right of self-determination, the Germans assert, has been "wilfully violated throughout." It Is difficult to see, Germany avers, how and harsher terms" could have been distated to the former imperialistic and irresponsible government. Many speeches of allied statesmen and of President Wilson are then quoted as saying the war was against that government, not against,the German people. In the words of the summary: "Today, however, theallled powers are racing not a nlrresponslble German government but the German people ruling Its own future for Itself. This has been utterly disregarded in the draft treaty." The treaty is described as "merely ft celebration of the last triumph of imperialist and capitalist tendencies." Won't Barter Human Beings. In another passage the reply says Germany "cannot consent to the bartering of human beings," and later: "The German government declines to make any reparation in the form of punishment, and still more emphatically declines to pass on to Individual parts of the population the punishment Intended for the. whole of the community." Annexation of the Saar district is called the creation of another Alsace- Lorraine. As for those provinces, Germany claims their cession withoutconsulting the population would be a new wrong. She admits that, "according to present conceptions of right, an Injustice was committed in 1871, when the people were not consulted." Acceptance of the trial of the exkalser an dsanctlon of his extradition fA>m Holland are flatly refused on the ground that "no German subject can \ be brought fore a foreign court without established law or legal basis." Nor will she consent to the extradition of other subjects accused of war crimes, but instead proposes an International court of neutrals "to Judge the fact of crime." The punishment, however, she claims, must remain with the national courts. The document bitterly assails the abolition of all German rights outside Europe as "irreconcilable with the preliminary negotiations and as wholly Impossible to a great people who not only have supreme needs for markets and supplies but who have shown themselves capable of sharing the world's task of colonization." A summary of the German protests and counter-proposals as computed from today's official resume, follows: Reparation. Germany accepts responsibility only for civilian losses in the Belgiap and French areas occupied by her in the war. She agrees to pay not more than $25,000,000,000, provided her other counter-proposals are accepted. Characterizing the allied plan for a reparations commission as infringing on German sovereignty, she proposes a "cooperative German . commission" tf work alongside the allied body. Germany accepts the obligation to pay for all damages sustained by thi civil populations in the occupied parts of Belgium and France, inasmuch as she brought upon them the terrors of war by a breach of International law through the violation of neutrality. The Germans refuse, however, to pay reparation to other occupied territories in Italy, Montenegro, Serbia, Roumania and Poland, on the ground that "no attack in contradiction to international law was Involved." She refuses to pay the costs of the allied-American armies "of occupation, considering this "both unnecessary and uneconomic." She declares the Poles have not so. far shown themselves trustworthy pro-, tectors of the national and religious rights of minorities, and asks a commission to assess damages caused by recent Polish disturbances in Germaninhabited regions. Occupation. She demands, in words of bitter protest, that all allied troops be withdrawn within six month? of the signing of peace. Negotiations. She insists she has a right to oral discussion of the practical application of the principles upon the acceptance of which by her and her enemies she laid down her arms. \ Saar. . "Purely German territory." She claims Important Industrial ' diStilcts beyond the coal mines are demanded from her;, but "even the cession of the mining district could not be admitted." She Is willing to guarantee a supply of coal, "but the total coal computed to exist in the Saar mines would represent a hundred times the maximum France demands." Except for 68 years under Franch rule, the population has been attached to Germany for over a thousand years. Reconsideration of the whole question Is demanded. Schleswig. She charges the demarcation for a plebiscite has been traced through purely German territory and goes further than Denmark herself wishes to go. " Upppr Silesia. Cession "cannot be demanded at all." It is added that "Upper Silesia owes everything to Germany and Germany cannot dispense with Upper Silesia, while Poland dos not really need it." Germany is prepared tojeede such parts'as are trq|y Polish, tn all territories east and west, "where cession is demanded, she says it must be preceded by a plebiscite with universal suffrage administered under fair conditions by a neutral power after evacuation of foreign troops. West Prussia. Germany is ready to cede to Poland such west Prussian territories as are Indisputably Polish. East Prussia. Germany cannot consent to the severance of East, Prussia, with a German population of 1,500,000 from the German empire. A bridge must be absolutely prepared. Danzig. "This purely German town must remain within the German empire. Germany refuses to make It a free city, but is willing to make It and Koenigsberg free ports to give Polhnd access to the sea. Alsace-Lorraine. The population alone should decide whether it wants to belong to France or Germany or wants to be an independent state. "It France is to take over the results of Germany's effort she must equally take over a proportionate share In the German debt." German-Austria. Germany cannot pledge herself to oppose a possible desire of German Austria to be united with her. Colonies. The treaty clauses are called "unjust." Germany claims she has "a natural claim to colonies from her culture and undeniable colonial accomplishments." ^ Russia. ' '"" ' • Tf*' It conflicts with a peace of tight and Justice to demand from Germany to recognize beforehand any treaties which her present enemies may make with the states which were formerly part of the Russian empire. "Germany," says the reply, "has expressly accepted President Wilson's 14 points, and nothing else." By eliminating Germany from the world's trade, it is asserted, her enemies "might get rid of a troublesome competitor, but the world already Impoverished by the war would become infinitely poorer." She promises in her counter-proposals to set an example in disarmamant offering to gtve up all naval and military weapons to the minimum point required for police work In maintaining law and order Internally: Trial of Ex-Kaiser. "As to the trial of the ex-kaiser, Germany cannot recognize the justification of such criminal prosecution, which Is not founded upon any legal basis, or agtee to the competence of the special tribunal proposed, or the advisability of the surrender to be requested of the Netherlands.

Ukrainian Peasant Leader Resigns Command; May Be a Private Soldier. Warsaw, June 16.--Gen.

One report says he has enlisted as a private soldier, another that he has gone to Switzerland. Springfield --The Illinois state legislature is scheduled to adjourn sine die this week, probably about Wednesday night. The session resumed this week after having left unfinished a number of vastly important matters that could not be concluded before the week-end vacation. For hours before adjournment last week the house battled over amendments to the senate bill, and when the job was ended there were few If any in the house who would admit that they knew what the amended bill contains. At the very last Representative Hicks obtained the adoption of an amendment that commits to the department of labor the unqualified'privilege of taking over the execution of the proposed law permitting the department to go as far as it may. The basic principle is that the woman's <Jay should be nine hours and the weekly maximum should be fifty hours. What undoubtedly is to happen will be that the bill will be passed by the house and that the senate will disagree and the measure will "then go to conference. , This undoubtedly Is the hope of Governor Lowden, who wants to see a bill that can carry the approval of the women workers. Such a bill, it is believed, can be worked out in a conference committee,' and upon such a chance depends the hope for the origi nal eight-hour legislation. A complication Is caused by the senate committee's position on two pend lng house bills having to do with contempt proceedings In courts of chancery. The newest contention, adverse to the bills that went through the house. Is that they eliminate practi cally the chancery court system of Illinois. Inside information is that the representatives of organized labor prefer the two Ronalds bills now pending be fore the senate industrial affairs committee to the anti-lnjunctlbn bill already defeated br to any other legls lation thqt has been Introduced this session. The senate committee heard some argument on the bills, but adjourned with an understanding to meet early tills week. The original Glackln bill, that establishes the new basis of assessment at one-half Instead of one-third of the full valuation Is pending on third reading. The pattern once established, there will be no trouble In going through with the rest of the program except for the single angle of time. The tax bills--two of them--as they passed, carry the $2.15 rate for Chicago; $1.80 for the Chicago board of education; $2 for down-state cities without a referendum; 15 cents for the south park system, ahd 55 cents for Cook county, with an additional four cents for the mothers' pension fund outside the Juul law limitation. The last of the administration bills went through their critical stage in the senate when the twin corporation bills were advanced to third reading. These bills rewrite the laws with respect to the Incorporation of companies for profit and fot insurance purposes. A third hill that relates to companies not for profit was likewise advanced. The two big bills, it is estimated. If they become laws, will add an annual Income to the state treasury of between four and one-half and five millions of dollars. Senator Hull made . a determined fight against the original bill of the senate upon the proposition that the established policy of Illinois should not be overturned whereby corporations could own stock in other corporations. - , The agreed Danville armory measure, that carries the specific approval of Governor Lowden and the military department, was passed by the senate. It already had passed the house. The senate passed bills appropriating $75,- 000 for Chicago Heights, $30,000 for DeKalb and $15,000 each for sites at Joliet and Elgin. The senate passed the three Spence bills recasting the laws with respect to coal miners. It passed the house bill Introduced by Representative McCarthy affecting farm tenancy, and the Smejkal bill that requires an investigation and classification of salaries of all state employees as a basis for the next series of appropriation bllla. Big Measures as Grand Final*. 1 > Thie omnibus appropriations bill was passed by the house and was read a first time In the senate. The outlook is that this bill will not have to go to a conference committee, 'f'he senate will be in shape to pass the biggest Qf the supply measures Tuesday or Wednesday. Order Roads to Pay Taxes. Railroads of Illinois, although NO* trolled by the government, must p&y their taxes in Illinois, in accordance with an opinion handed down by the state supreme court. The court denied a petition for rehearing in the case of the Wabash Railroad company against the board of review of Cook county, where the point was raised. Court Changes Announced. The state supreme court appointed Judge Martin M. Grldley of the superior court of Chicago to succaed Judge C. A. McDonald as Judge in branch 1, First district, appellate court. Judge McDonald asked to be relieved from duty. The court also appointed Amos C. Miller, Mitchell B. Follansbee and Charles R. Webster members of the committee on character and fitness for applicants for certificates to practice law, presenting the First appellate district. Follansbee and Webster are reappointed. Governor Grants Convict Reprieve. In order that the division of pardons and paroles may consider an application for commutation of sentence to imprisonment. Governor Lowden granted a reprieve until Friday, August 8, to R. E. Johnson, who was convicted in the Le? county circuit court of the murder of George Bush, and sentenced to hand Friday, June 13. Johnson and A1 Lucas were convicted of the murder of Bush but Lucas was sentenced to life Imprisonment at «Ioliet. ILLINOIS Cash Balance of $9,000,000. Director of Finance Omar H. Wright makes the statement that there will be a $9,000,000 cash balance In the state treasury on July 1, due largely to the successful workout of the new a<fcninlstrative code; that there.are no deficits in any department; and that the state will enter on July 1 upon a cash basis with relation to all of its activities. Crop* Are Thriving. Crops in Illinois were fsinerally benefited by the sunshine and rain of the past week, according to a gcvernr ment report just Issued. It says: "The temperature averaged six degrees above normal. The precipitation was in the form of local showers and quite unevenly distributed. As a result of sunshine and warm weather all crops made very good progress. Corn planting; proceeded favorably, except in parts of the southern division, where the ground Is too wet to work. The condition of spring wheat and winter wheat is very good ^o excellent. The latter crop shows much improvement over last week, but there is some rust and smut in places. Oats averaged in good condition, but aria backward and are yellow In places. Meadows and pastures are doing nicely. Alfalfa cutting has begun In the central counties, but It has been Interfered with In the south." Lowden Denies Pullman Tux Rumor. Governor Lowden took the witeess stand before the Joint legislative committee that has been investigating the charges growing out of the state board of equalization affair. He denied every charge and insinuation made either In newspapers or by Chairman William H. Malone and other members of tlie state board of equalization. Mr. Malone followed Governor Lowden. He testified that at no time had he intended to assert or to Intimate that he had any Information that Governor Lowden had attempted to Influence the state board with respect to the assessment of the capital stock of the Pullman company by the board. Governor Lowden testified the first knowledge that there was any increase in the Pullman assessment came to him through a newspaper notice after the state board had adjourned Its session. He said he had no interest in the Pullman assessment; that he had never suggested to any person anything with respect to state board matters, and that any representations by any individual were without his knowledge or authority. Former Judge Willard McEwen, representing the state board, on cross examination attempted to get from Governor Lowden an admission that he makes no charges that state board members were attempting to besmirch the governor. Governor Lowden declined to make such a statement and asserted ^hat newspaper publications had led him to the contrary opinion. Mr. Malone testified that his statement before the joint hearing of the revenue committee of the two houses, when the big row started, was not correctly reported, and that he did not assert that Omar H. Wright, director of finance, had threatened, in the presence of Equalizer Hilker, that the board of equalization would be abolished If the Pullman assessment wer* Increased. The testimony of Governor Lowden and Mr. Malone concluded the case. The committee will meet to consider its report, which wilt be presented to the general assembly before final adjournment.

Judging from' reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the / prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as- x tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
