GERMAN NEWSPAPER'S VIEW.

APPEAL TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE.

London, June 26. Herr Ebert. Her Bauer and other Ministers have issued a Proclamation to the German people saying all efforts must be directed to the fulfilment of the Treaty. It recognises the embitter ment of the troops at the delivery of Germans for trial, but says if internal order is not preserved, then millions of Germans will be delivered to the terror of occupation. The only way out of the darkness of the Treaty is the preservation of the Empire and the National Assembly through unity of work.

If public opinion does not approve of signing, then the Government will not ratify the Treaty.

According to information from the American Legation, China has not signed the Treaty, and the Chinese and Japanese. delegates bave had a slight conflict.
