HUNS REJECTS TREATY TERMS

Sharp Reaction Reported Fallowing Senate's Failure to Ratify. Paris, Dec. 3. —Germany has decided not to sign the (protocol presented to her by the allies as a condition for putting the peace treaty Into effect, the peace conference has been notified. It .was learned today that Baron Kurt von Lersnpr, head of the German delegation here, called on Secretary of the conference Monday and told him that Germany had made such a decision. This attitude Is taken as confirming reports of a sharp reaction in Germany within the last fortnight. Trained observers of German developments have expressed to members of the peace conference the view that there has been a complete transformation of the situation in Germany and that it is due to the failure of the United States senate to ratify the peace treaty. These observers assert that while the vast majority of the Germans, before the senate’s adjournment, desired to have the peace treaty ratified as soon as possible 1 , they are now supporting the government’s attitude in resisting the demands of the allies for Indemnity for the sinking of the German fleet at Scapa Flow, recompense for which was provided in the protocol. The question on which the German representatives here, however, appear most sensitive, is the insistence on the trial of German officers accusd of the commission of crimes in France and Belgium. Thus far, it is said, no indications have reached Paris of any disposition on the part of the Germans to modify their attitude. The supreme council today ad J dressed a note to Germany protesting against the Increase of Germany’s armament, contrary to the provisions of the peace treaty.

LET NO SURRENDER BE MOTTO

Of the Government and the People in Coal Strike. In speaking of the action of federal Judge Anderson In citing for contempt of court of 84 officers and heads of the miners’ union for failure to obey the orders of the court in the recent injunction ordered, the Lafayette Journal says: It is quite evident that the government is determined to break this strike in some manner and every legal procedure will be exhausted in the endeavor. Still, filling the jails does not fill the nation's coal binds. But Ihe public will find some considerable degree of satisfaction In seeing punishment meted to the men who have brought industrial paralysis and' suffering upon the country and have spurned every offer of arbitration. From Washington comes the announcement that the operators have agreed to a slight advance over the 14% wage increase recommended by Mr. Garfield, an agreement that will be submitted today for the approval of the fuel administrator. Whether that will prove sufficient incentive to induce the miners to return to work remains to be seen. It would seem that they would be exercising the part of discretion if they found some excuse, for returning to work soon. Public sentiment is going to’demand drastic action on the part of the government in the very near future. Nowhere is there talk of surrender to the demands of the miners; the puonc is with the government in this matter and the public is going to insist that coal be produced.

HE CUT RED TAPE

Col. Edwin Jadwin, now in command of one of the engineer regiments in France, disregarded war department red tape, formalities and regulations, to get his troops over to France fully equipped fbr work. The record made by Colonel Jadwin In getting his men speedily ready for service and the efficiency of his work has already been the subject of widespread comment in army circles. It develops now that the reason for his success was primarily due to the fact that he Ignored red tape Incumbrances which are required legally by the present system. It will be for Secretary Baker to decide whether Col. Jadwin is to escape the remonstrance that attaches to his course or whether he will be commended for his initiative and his success.

BRITISH BIRTH RATE GROWS

More Boys Are Born In Times of. Hardships. Official. Figures Show. London. —More babies were born in England during August in any previous month since the beginning of the war. Official returns show the number to be 6,390, equivalent to an annual rate of 18 per 1,000, and 461 more babies than in the same month of 1918. “I believe that during and after wars more boy babies are born than girls,” said Dr. Mary Scharlieb, a specialist, discussing the report. “I think official figures will prove that more boys are born during periods of stress, hardship and food shortages and mere girls during periods - of wealth, ease and luxury.” _ “A baby these days is a very expensive addition to the average British family,” said another doctor.. “The cost of everything, from blankets to perambulators lias practically doubled. Milk is a shilling a quart and nurses three guineas a week. The infant’s extensive wardrobe is also a 1 costly affair these days; while his cot costs twice as much as before the war. Only millionaires can afford twins, much as we need them. t» repair the waste of wart”
