Start Campaign to Incit German
Public Opinion Against
Acceptance
(By Associated Press)
Berlin (via London), May 12.-Big
demonstrations against the signing of
r the peace treaty by Germany were held
today in Berlin, Breslau, Danzig, Koe-
nigsburg, Cassel, and other places. The
demonstrations were organized by the
National People's party. "If this treaty
comes to pass, I will bring up my chil-
dren in hatred," said Deputy Traub,
speaking in Berlin.
Dr. Gustav Stressmann, one of the
People's party leaders, spoke in pro-
test against the demand for the sur-
render of former Emperor William. "If
the Germans complied with it they
would be without name or honor," he
declared.
Berne, Switzerland, May 12, - Press
comment and other news concerning
the peace treaty as sent here by the
German semi-official news agency
suggest that a campaign has been
started to incite German public opin-
ion against acceptance of the treaty,
or perhaps to give Count Von Brock-
dorf-Rantzau manufactured 'popular
support in demands he may make for
alleviation of the peace terms. The
closing of the stock exchanges in Ber-
lin, Frankfort, and elsewhere, and the
government appeal for a "week of
mourning" is taken here to indicate
that there is a well co-ordinated move-
ment to influence the German people.
Private telegrams say all the German
newspapers are discussing the finan-
cial and economic clauses to be impos-
ed and advise against acceptance.
Coblenz, May 12. - The impression
gained by American officers through
talking with Germans regarding the
peace terms is that most of them are
bitter and sullen, but are inclined to
resign themselves to accept any terms,
no matter how harsh. No concrete
plan of action has been suggested in
event the German delegates at Ver-
sailles refuse to sign the treaty.
American. officers say the common
people in the occupied territory have
widely divergent views, but as a
whole they seem more or less stun-
ned, some crushed, but others show a
spirt of bravado.
Several officers are quoted as hav-
ing said that the terms are more se-
vere than they expected but although
it would be necessary for the German
delegate to argue against the condi-
tions imposed they felt there was lit-
tle else left but to sign.

Sahara To Parch
Neophytes Today
Enduring the hellish heat and
parching brick-colored dust of Egypt's
sunny strand, 10 seekers after the rid-
dle of the Sphinx will hazard today the
classic sands of the blistering Sahara.
On they will stagger till not an atom
of moisture is left in their aching bod-
ies.
Many a heartbreaking mirage will
warped imaginations conjure up to
smarting eyes and many a disappoint-
ing palm grove will fade into heat
waves before the promised land is at-
tained by those who possess courage to
survive the ordeals.
At last, their nostrils choked with.
the fiery atmosphererof the Pharoah's
ancient realm and reeling from tor-
ture and fatigue, they will reach the
green oasis to drink in the cooling
water of the spring of knowledge, is-
suing gurgling from the graven lips
of the mystery of the centuries, the
Sphinx.
For this afternoon, the camouflaged
caravan will wend its way through the
streets of Ann Arbor on its journey
to the pyramids, conveying its sopho-
more neophytes, encouraged by basti-
nados, to prostration before the
speechless idol.

trying to reach all men in and out of
