HUNS SULLEN, BUT READY TO ACCEPT ANY PEACE TERMS COBLENZ, Saturday, May 10. (By The Associated Press.) The Impress ion gained by American officers through talking talk-ing -with Germans regarding the peace terms is that many of them are bitter and sullen, but are Inclined to resign themselves to accept any terms, no matter mat-ter how harsh. No concrete plan of action ac-tion has been suggested in the event the German delegates at Versailles refuse to sign the treaty. American officers say the common people peo-ple in the occupied area have widely divergent di-vergent views, but that ?.s a whole, 'they appear more or less stunned. Many of them seem crushed, but others are showing show-ing a spirit of bravado. One American who had circulated freely among the civilians reported that none of them expected that Germany would accept ac-cept the terms. They said they could not see how the pe-ule would be able to i com mere was restricted and al! their colo-! colo-! nies confiscated, and, in addition. Ger- many had to cede territory belonging to , the mainland. ; They asserte:), furthermore, that the internal in-ternal resources of Germany alone were insufficient to permit of the payment of Indemnities for generatiuns to come. |
