MR. MASSEY'S COMMENTS.
Received May 12, 8.45 p.m
PARIS,
May 10
Mr. Massey, interviewed, said there were many flaws and defects In the Treaty, and too many1 risky experiments, giving Germany loopholes to evade her responsibilities. The reparation clauses were disappointing They seemed to have been loosened at the last moment. The net around the Kaiser had wide meshes; evidently the Iflgal view of the sanctity of heads of States had prevailed, The display of aggressive arrogance of Germany's military caste yesterday at Versailles should be regarded as a warnirif. Rantzau forgot the ordinary courtesies and spoke defiantly and rudely, only using suavity when referring to President Wilson and proletariats. .
