THE AUGUSTA HERALD
German Sentiment Turning
Rapidly Toward Signing the
Treaty But Seeks Leniency
fContinued from Page One) r
Austrian treaty.
According to a Berlin dispatch Friday night, the Ger
man note to the peace r onference cites twelve instances in
which the covering note of the allied reply to the Germans
announced concessions which are not contained in the alter
ed text of the peace treaty. The allies are asked, the dis
patch added, how far they bind themselves to these conces
sions and written confession is requested that the contents of
the covering note and the memorandum on these points form
part of the new peace offer.
Coblenz.— A state of siege has been declared in the
district of Munster, in W T estphalia, northeast of Chlogne, be
cause of Spartacan disturbances, according to information
reaching American headquarters here.
Paris.—President Ebert has requested Herman Mueller,
majority socialist leader to form a new German cabinet, ac
cording to advices received by the American peace delega
tion.
Mathias Erzberger probably will head the German
peace delegation the advices indicate.
The opposition attitude of the democrats and German
nationalists on the question of the treaty probably will ex
clude Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau and Count von Bern
storff from the government.
The German provincial press is strongly urging the
speedy signing of the treaty.
Berlin advices to the delegation summarizing the situa
tion in Germany up to midnight show the sentipient through
out Germany to be in favor of accepting the peace terms. The
advices cover Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz and other repre
sentative regions.
The advices indicate that all the southern German states
are favorable to the acceptance of the treaty while the Prus
sian regions are maintaining some opDosition.
Berlin.—Mathias Erzberger (mentioned as probable
head of the new German peace delegation) is reported to
have sent a note to Premier Clemenceau as president of the
conference asking whether the allies will agree to the im
mediate admission of Germany to the league of nations.
Herr Erzberger also desires to know if the powers will con- ,
sent to the limitation of Germany’s indemnity of 100,000,-
000,000 gold marks and renounce their effort to have former
Emperor William surrendered.
The note does not say whether Germany will sign the
peace treaty but the inference seems clear that she would
accept the treaty if these concessions were made.
Weimar.—lt looks more and more as if Eduard David
would be the successor not only of Philipp Scheidemann, the
chancellor but of Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau, the foreign
minister.
His tenure of both offices will undoubtedly be for a short
time but he is accustomed to that, having held the position of’
president of the national assembly for a brief period, being
supplanted by Konstantin Fehrenbach.
The cabinet held a meeting this morning and gathered

Warm Debate Between
Palmer and Opponents
of His Confirmation
Washington—Attorney-General Palmar,
at the first public hearing in the fight
t° prevent confirmation by the senate
of his appointment, turned sharply upon
his accusers and boldly charged that
they were aligned with German interests
in a concerted attempt to discredit his
administration as alien property custo
dian.
During the year and a half he was in
charge of the office Mr. Palmer declar
ed he had been denounced by every en
emy alien and every friend and attorney
of every enemy alien in this country,
and that in Berlin he was characterized
as the “official American pickpocket.”
Every friend of the 40,000 aliens whose
property had been seized were attacking
him, he said, because his organization
had seized enemy property and captured
the German industrial army in the Unit
ed States. It would be shown, he told
the committee. that the particular
charges lodged agafnst him were not
based on the ground that he had sold
enemy plants at 100 low a price, but
that he had sold them to Americans who
had turned them to profitable account.
For nearly five hours the senate judi
ciary sub-committee, conducting an open
Inquiry at the request of the attorney
general, was in a continual snarl. For
two hours a crowd that was kept on edge
by the tense feeling breaking out at
intervals, witnessed the remarkable spec
tacle of an attorney general of the Unit
ed States defending his record and slash
ing at his enemies before a senate com
mittee meeting, sitting on his fitness for
a place in the. cabinet.
The bitter feeling that broke out at
the beginning remained to the end, the
meeting closing abruptly and In dis
order, with the announcement by Chair
man Dillingham that another session
would be held Saturday to determine
further procedure and summon witnesses
asked for by the complainants. There
was a strong belief at the capitol Friday
night that no further hearings of conse
quence would be helrt and the committee
would recommend confirmation of Mr.
Palmer’s nomination.
The first evidence of bitterness was
displayed at tfce very outset when Sena
tor Walsh, democrat of Montana, charg
ed Merton PL Lewis, formerly attorney
general of New York, with deceiving the
committee last week through failure to
quote all of the sections of she law hear
ing on the right of the alien property
custodian to seize enemy property. Mr.
Lewis. w*ho Is counsel for Harvey T.
Andrews, the principal complainant,
frankly stated that he had been in er
ror and that he had come prepared to
offer his apologies. Senator Walsh re
torted that while he accepted *he state
ment without reservation. Mr. Lewis
should realize that the committee there
after could not rely on anything he said.
Hostile Feeling Apparent.
Frequently during the presentation hy
Mr. Lewis of documentary evidence he
clashed with Mr. Palmer and no effort
apparently was made by either to con
ceal his feeling of hostility. During his
long and $t times, dramatic recital the
attorney-general stood with hair dis
heveled. while his voice, thrown to high
pitch, reached far down the corridors.
It was near the close of the session
and after the attorney-general had
given the committee some account of
Andrews’ connection with the Bosch
Magneto Company plant at Springfield,
Maas., that he came to an open breach
with Senator Frelfnghysen, republican of
New- Jersey, leader in the fight to pre
vent confirmation of his nomination.
Mr. Palmer was proceeding to take up
charges as to the alleged placing of
friends In position where they might
profit by the sale of enemy property and
had just stated that these charges w’ere
made by Senator Frelinghuysen and
others when the senator jumped to his
feet. For an instant he and the attor

night in honor of President and Mrs. Wil

“What gives me confidence in express

I am expressing the feeli.igs of the peo

never been in the United States a more
general and universal comprehension o/
sympathy with th«* affairs of another na
tion than that which the people of the
United State* have had for the affairs
and the people of Belgium.
“I have had the very great advantage

sir. that you speak for your people. One
of the delightful experiences of these last
days has been to hear the acclaim from

their second thought was the welcome of

that it should be so. because I know
that 1 was with a real statesman and a

“I have felt my points of sympathy be

to find, sir, that you are a true democrat.

future of Belgium is the consciousness
that one has of the self-reliance and in

but they do not need to have anybody to

•You can’t bluff me like that” the
senator shouted. “I am a senator of the
United States and I demand that Mr.
Palmer answer criticisms of his ad

that he was not trying to bluff anybody.

When Mr. Palmer concluded Ills two
hour statement Senator Frelinghuysen
told the committee that if it decided to
go into the investigation of the alien
property custodian’s office, he would
present witnesses in support of charges
against his administration. Complaints
had corr.° to him from some of his con
stituents, he said.
Mr. Palmer came back with the ass*
t,c> ™ y l ** Senator Frelinghuysen had
visited New York detective agencies «o
find out if “they did not have some
thing on Palmer.” He accused the sena
tor of making statements to newspaper*
regarding charges against him. and said
there was little difference between mak
ing direct charges and repeating those
alleged to have betn made by others.
Lewis and Andrews also were accused
of giving out statements purporting to
» e ® v *d® nce and distorting the facts.
The New Jersey senator, the attornev
general went on. might feel that he was
entitled to consideration before the com
mittee. but that he. too. was entitled to
consideration in view of his selection
by the president as attorney-general.
Meeting Ends In Uproar,
Andrews who had been picked out by
the attorney general as one of the par
ticular objects of his wrath, broke into
the hearings at the close by challeng
ing Mr. Palmer’s statements concerning
him. The room soon was in an uproar,
but Chairman Dillingham suddenly
ended the meeting.
"Stop, stop,” he shouted to Andrews,
jumping to his feet as did other mem
bers of the committee. “The present
hearing is ended; the committee will go
into executive session.”
Later it was announced that the com
mittee would decide Saturday whether
to issue subpoenaes for witnesses de
sired by Lewis and whether it would
grant his request that the attorney-gen
eral be required to present voluminous
records, which the latter said would fill
the committee room.
In connection, with the seizure and
sale of the Bosch Magneto plant Mr
Palmer charged Mr. Lewis did not ob
ject to the price at which it was sold
but to the fact that it was bought by
Americans. He told the committee that
there was no record of Andrews, and
that the custodian’s organization first
heard of him last June when he went
to the Bosch Company representatives
in New York and demanded a fee for
legal service. He got S3OO, the attorney
general said, on the gTound that he was
counsel for the general manager of the
company, who w r as a German subject.
Mr. Lewis’ charges against the at
torney-general related to the sale of the
Bosch plant and tme organization and
incorporation of the American Bosch
Magneto Company, whose stock showed
considerable advance from January to
June. Mr. Palmer showed that similar
stocks made similar advances and de
clared he was gia*l some good Ameri

chase.
Thejre was some reference to Mr. Pal
mer’s administration in the house during
consideration of the sundry civil hill.
Chairman Good, of the appropriations
committee, declared that while he had
made no investigation, he had heard in
some instances of exorbitant fees being
paid in connection with the sale of
enemy alien property.

they have these means then the rest of
us will have to take care to see that
they do not do the work they are addict

we cease to offer this assistance thev will

say truthfully that the people of the
United States want the people of Bel

to be rivals in those fields in which they
have for so long a time proved them
selves masters.
“It is therefore, with a peculiar feel
ing of being among a people that 1 un
derstand that I have found myself under
your guidances, sir, touching shoulders
with the people of• Belgium today. When
I went to the great destroyed plant at
Charleroi, though most of the chimneys
were smokeless, the whole region seemed
like so many regions I am familiar with
in my own country, and if tbe air had
only been full of smoke I should have
felt entirely at home. The air was too
clear to he natural in such a region, and
yet I had the feeling that smoke was go

those chimneys and the world of indus

of Belgium, that vital pulse which no
discouragement can restrain.
