PRICE THREE C GERMAN PEOPLE'S PARTY ORGANIZES AAINST TRATY MANY CITIES IN GERMANY HIGHLY AROUSED OVER PEACE TERMS YANKEE OFFICERS FIND COMMON PEOPLE SULLEN 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.

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.
