May new notes were delivered to the secretariat of the peace cohference by the German delegates. At the same time the Germans handed over French and English translations of the first section of the counter proposals which were delivered in German only. Council Takes Recess.

Paris, May council of four did not meet. Peace-making activities were suspended pending the translation of the German proposals and the study of the Austrian, peace terms by the delegates representing the smaller states. The German counter proposals were presented Thursday. June 15 is the earliest possible date on which the German treaty can be signed, if no obstructions are encountered. June 20 is the more probable date for its signature, and the departure of President for the United States, according to a member of the American peace delegation, who discussed the situation with the correspondent; The German counter proposals have been received with the greatest interest by the members of the peace conference, especially the claims for Immediate membership in the league of nations, for a plebiscite to decide the disposition of Silesia and for the fix- Ing of a definite sum foif reparations.

With the exception of France, all e' major powers would undoubtedly agree to the Immediate admission of Germany to the league of nations, but France is unalterably opposed, and in consequence there is no possibility of this Being done. The sura of fixed by the Germans for reparations, corresponds exactly with the amount which several American and British conference financial advisers had agreed the Germans could reasonably be expected to pay, and It Is not impossible that some changes will be granted In the financial terms of the treaty. The transjation of the German counter proposals is going on so slowly that It seems improbable the council of four will be able to have the complete English and French texts for consideration until today. The Paris newspapers generally are indignant over the clause in the German counter proposals refusing to deliver the former emperor and other persons charged with responsibility for the war and other acts. It is' declared this indicates thte friendship of the present government with the old regime.

RECALLSJ2 BILLS The Pennsylvania Legislature Breaks a Record. Harrisburg, May bills have been recalled from the governor by the two houses of the legislature for amendment than, ever before in the history of lawmaklng. For years the number has run from twenty to fifty, but this far seventy- two have been recalled and resolutions recalling eight more are pending, Such actions require the approval of the governor. One of the reasons why so many bills are recalled.this session is said by legislators to be that errors have been found In construction and that typographical mistakes have been which might affect a bill. In years gone by some bills which contained printing errors were signed with notations made by governors that they had corrected manifest mechanical mistakes.

President Wilson declared in hla Memorial day address in the American Cemetery at Suresnes, near Paris. The private councils of statesmen, he added, will no longer determine the destinies of nations.

Other points in his address were: "It would be no profit to us to eulogize these illustrious dead if we did not take to heart the, lesson which they have taught us. "They came to see to It that there should never be a war like this again. It is for us to see to it that there never is a war again. "These men have given their lives In order that the world might be united. "The league of nations is the covenant of government that these men shall not have died in vain." An earnest defense of the league of nations was a prominent note of the president's address.

He said he looked for the time when a man who failed to support the league would be as nshnmed as the man who opposed the union of the'states after the civil war. By the time President Wilson arrived at the Suresnes Cemetery, a great throng had gathered. It included numerous distinguished members qf officialdom, who had come to hear the president's address and pay tribute to the American dead. President Wilson was accompanied by Mrs. WHson, Rear Admiral Grayson, Brigadier General William W.

Harts and Miss Edith Benham, Mrs. Wilson's secretary. The weather was ideal for the ceremonies. Not a grave of any American who fell in the great war was overlooked in the observance of Memorial day in France. Some of the services -were held In the vicinity of the battle line along which the troops fought and sacrificed their the cemeteries where they were laid to rest.

Others took place near the hospital centers further back, where those whose wounds finally caused their deaths have been buried. The two most notable events of the day were at Suresnes and at Bomagne, near- the Argonne. General Pershlng went to Ronmgne, near the spot where the Americans suffered their heaviest losses fighting, to speak at the exercises. The 2500 soldier dead at Romagne were honored by the attendance of a battalion of infantry, a battery of artillery and-a regiment band. Similar detachments took part in the exercises at other large cemeteries.

After paying tribute fo the memory of their fallen comrades, the members of the American from the Rhine to the sea spent the remainder of the day in taking part in and witnessing athletic events. As part of the Memorial day observance, Hugh Wai American ambassador to France, went to the Picpus cemetery, in the outskirts of Paris, in the forenoon and placed a wreath on the tomb of Lafayette. Marshal Petain, commander of the Trench army, gave directions to the troops near the places the American dead were burled to pay tribute to their fallen contraries In arms from overseas. The marshal notified General Pershing of this action In a letter which read: have invited French troops sta- tSonud near American cemeteries fo go and salute their brothers In arms, fallen for the of their land and the liberty of the world, kater, when you have left Europe, rest assured that the same rites will be rendered them, and with the same fervor.

Washington, May forces have proclaimed General Felice Angeles provisional president of Mexico and Villa himself secretary of war.

This move, coming at the climax of military operations considered by the Carranza government so serious that it has asked the United States for permission to move' troops through TeS'as, New Mexico and Arizona, Is regarded as reflecting a situation more serious in Mexico than any since tlio triumph of Oarranssa forces o.ver Villa three years ago.
