The. announcement during the early morning of the council's decision to re fuse a further extension of time in which Germany might answer inaugurated a day of extreme tension. It was general ly known to the public and conference diplomats that only a few hours sepa rated them from the portentious decision. The first light came in a press dispatch from Weimar about noon, stating that Germany had decided to yield, but noth ing was heard from Versailles until shortly after % o’clock p. m. A telephone message from Versailles then announced the arrival of the Ger man repty. which it was known to a few of the initiated was favorable. The first definite announcement, however, was made to American correspondents at the French press headquarters at QnaJ d’Orsay 4:50 o'clock, it being stated that an affirmative reply had been delivered to Colonel Henry, liaison officer between the Germans and the peace conference, who was bringing it to Paris by automo bile. It was not long after the reply had been received and opened before the su preme council that guns to boom from the forts around Paris and rejoic ing crowds began to stream through the streets, having been apprised by the sound of cannon that the Germans had accepted the allied terms. Allied flags were flung out as if by magic from win dows. Automobiles loaded with cheering doughboys and excited polios, dashed through the thoroughfares. Church throughout the city were pealing every where and cheering, animated throngs gave evidence of the Joy with which the Parisien crowds welcomed the end of tho long years of agony and tension The celebration noon assumed a more tumultous character and by H o’clock in the evening Paris seemed bent rm In dulging in an excited demonstration of joy. Bands of students had taken pos session of thme frerman trophy cannons ranged on either side of Champs Klyswes. from the arch of triumph to Place de la Concorde and were dragging them in a procession through the city, at ch can non carrying Its burden of cheering youths. Special editions of newspapers with huge captions "Peace has Come" were soon snatched from news sellers by excited Parisians going home from work. Plans for the ceremony attending the signature of the treaty were considered by the supreme counci ltoday It is said President Wilson favors making It as simple as Is consistent with the nature of the event, and the original plans for the conclusion of "the second peace of Versailles" have b.en materially modi fied at his suggestion Th# plenipotentiaries will h# seated on a raised dais hi the center of the vast Hall of Mirrors in the chateau of Ver ELECTRICAL MEN WIFE SUE UP mm Chicago.

It fs known that Signor Nitti wishes to establish close financial, economic and commercial relations with America to bring about the resurrection of Italy from the consequences of the war. He luis the highest regard for President Wilson, having been acquainted with him as a fellow educator, as well as a politician. The two men were cordial when Signor Nitti visited America in 1-017 as a mem ber of the Italian mission headed by the Prince of Udine. The newspapers favorable to Baron Sonnino, former minister of foreign af fairs and the nationalist, press a.*e un favorable to the new cabinet, maintain ing it is not particularly keen to uphold Italy's claims, but Tornmaso Tittoni, the new foreign minister, who will be the first Italian delegate at Paris, has de clared *‘a satisfactory peace for Italy must be such as will allow her to con clude equitable treaties, insure raw ma terials for her industries, protect her emigration and safeguard her position in the Adriatic and Mediterranean, besides giving her her legitimate colonics.” sailles, upon which will he installed the table upon which the treaty will be sign ed. The program does not contemplate any set addresses, but it is believed pos sible that both Premier Clemenoau and the leading German delkgate may make short speeches. The delegations will come to the table when called upon by Secre tarly Paul Dutasta of fix their signatures opposite the seals whic hwlll prior to the event be fixed to the instrument. The announcement of Germany’s ac ceptance of the treaty has thrown the Hotel de Crillon. American headquarters, into wild confusion. Because of the uncertainty as to the date on which the treaty will be signed, experts, officers and clerks who will retnrn on the George Washington with President Wilson have been ordered to be ready to leave on Tuesday night. Consequently trunks, bookcases and military bags were today tumbled into the corridors In great dis order and American soldiers rushed about in an effort to get baggagp to sta tions as quickly as possible ho that the personnel of the mission might be ready to leave at once should the treaty be signed on Tuesday. LILLE ALSO GOES JUBILANT OVER NEWS. Parie.—Celebrations over the German decision to sign the treaty of peace without reservations were nowhere more enthusiastic, than at Lille and other cities and towns in territory wrested from the Germans Newspapers printed special editions, cheering crowds paraded the streets and the houses were decked with allied flags. At Toulon. Brest and other naval ports, warships announced the news to the peo ple by firing salutes of 21 guns. In all the cities government buildings were il luminated. In Paris the city hall was brilliantly lighted and In the square before it and In other open spaces improvised jazz bands appeared and Informal. balls began, only to be stopped by unsympathetic pollus who declared that dancing was not au thorised except on July 14th.

C. (Special)—Was the naval collier Cyclops, disap pearing as completely as ever phantom ship did, diverted from her course after she left a South American port in the spring of 1918, and by treachery carried in to a German port? The southern seas were scoured in a vain search for the lost ship after her strange and as yet un accounted for disappearance. More than a year has passed, and until now nothing has been heard. As a voice from the grave comes a message of a South Carolinian, a seaman aboard the Cyclops. Otis Ramsey, of Graniteville, had been given up for lost. Family and friends mourned him as dead, after the navy department aban doned the search for the Cyclops. The general belief was that the vessel had been caught in a sud den tropical storm and went down with all aboard. But a telegram has been receiv ed at Graniteville by Otis Ramsey’s mother. The message contained only a few words—he had landed in America and the son told his mother he was safe and on hjs way home. There was something in the mes sage which intimated that the Cyclops has been taken into a German port. The Captain of the Cyclops was a naturalized German and after the strange disappearance of the vessel suspicion arose that there had been foul play. The captain's wife was watched for a long time. The mystery of the Cyclops has never been explained. Perhaps Otis Ramsey when he comes home can explain it. He perhaps will have a thrilling story to tell. HUN SAILORS SHOT BY OWN OFFICERS When Commanded By British to Shut Sea-cocks of Sink ing Vessels Thurso, Scotland. —German sailors were shot by their own officers when they attempted to obey the commands of the British officers to return to their ships and shut tho scacoCka. This statement was made by Lieut. Nut tall, of the steam er Alouette, who reached here Monday from Scapa Flow, where the German ships were sunk. "I pulled alongside a German destroy er when I saw the ship begin to settle,’* said Lieut. NuttaJl. "and ordered the Germans back to close the seacocks Four or five of them turned back, whereupon the German officers shot three of them dead. We then opened fire on the officers and several of them dropped. "Others among the Germans then re turned and closed the seacocks. Tho Germans were also driven back to four or five other destroyers; they closed tho seacocks in time to keep the vessels afloat" Lieutenant. NuttaTl reports that the Emden ban been pumped out and is now afloat. The Baden's crew were forced back to that vessel and compelled to shut the seacocks "Directly the first red flag and Ger man ensign wore hoisted on the first battleship," he added, "the German ad miral put off in a motor boat ffogt-haste to the British air Htathm ashore. He stated that the ships were sinking and requested assistance for the crew The admiral waa arrested. Naval men believe that the trip was a ruse to lead to the belief that the crews were taking charge of the ships. This, however, was not substantiated by what actually hap pened." No Red Flag*.

Kven afterward, it is said, the allies must he continually on guard un til the last penalty is paid. The Herald a socialist organ, says: "Germany cannot and will not keep the treaty, because it is based on force in stead of justice.” PARIS PAPERS ARE SERIOUS IN COMMENT.

Kditorial writers em broider their text with comments in keeping with the principles professed by their respective newspapers, but none of tho writers is entirely jubilant.

Final arrangements for the ceremony, are being made at Versailles by Premier Cle menceau, president of the peace conference, who has an nouned his intention to resign the premiership as soon as the treaty is ratified. Work on the Austrian treaty was resumed by the repre sentatives of the great powers in Paris today and their inten tion of hurrying the document to completion is evident.

Tommaso Tittoni, the new foreign minister of Italy, will be the leading Italian delegate at the peace conference, ac cording to advices from Rome. It is said that declarations he has made do not reflect any disposition on his part to re cede from the position taken by former Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino as to Italian claims on the eastern shore of the Adriatic.
