for Signing of Protocol and
Exchange of I reaty Katih cations Between Powers.
DELAY MAY DEVELOP
. (Br Associated Press) 'PARIS, Dee. 31 Although the ra
reme council today fixed January 6 u the date for signing the protocol and exchanging" ratifications of the Qerman peace treaty, complications
are developing which It la thought by tome persona. In council circles may
igaln cause the postponement of the leremony of putting the treaty Into
effect
It has , developed , that , the German
technical delegates who are here to
arrange - a multitude of details con
nected with the plebiscites -to be held In territories which Lmust decide whether they desire to be detached
from Germany, do not appear to have full power to act. The signing of the
protocol on Jan. 6, therefore, may de
pend upon whether the Germans can
.secure those powers Immediately, In srder to complete the arrangements which It is thought in council circles
ought to precede the exchange of rat
ifications. . ' "' Detaile of the Signing. ,The Germans will sign the protocol, and at the same time the allies will band a letter to them agreeing to reBuce their demands to 400,000 tons If the total available tonnage has been overestimated or Germany is gravely menaced .economically. .- In any case, after the signature, the allies will get 142,000 tons of material, and the balance based on the report of experts who are now checking up at Danzig, Hamburg and Bremen. The British prime minister, David Lloyd George, will be present at the cermony, which will be carried out without any display. Diplomatlo relations with Germany will be resumed the following day. when the French charge d'affaires will go to Berlin and French consuls will - resume , their POStB. J "led troops will proceed January 12 to the territory which must be evacuated by the Germans or where plebiscites are to be held. It is estimated that 100 trains will be needed for this purpose. Germans Still In Silesia - . - The fact that there were SQJ00 Ger man troops m Upper Silesia, where a plebiscite is' to be held, was brought to the attention of the council, which unanimously reached the opinion that Germany should be Informed that the troops should be withdrawn.

CBy Associated Press) ST. JOHNS. N. F- Dec 31 Hope that the heroic work of the sailors of the steamer Ingrahaxn, who saved the three survivors of the wrecked Belgian steamer Anton Van Driel yesterday at St Mary's bay had not been in vain was held out here today.

Revelers and wlne-bibers of whom
there stm seem to be an appreciable number, announced that regardless of
prohibition, consequences, expenses.
or revenue men they would have one
last celebration of their own sort.
Unnumbered thousands planned to throng the Great White Way. and send showers of confetti through an atmosphere agitated by the direction from as many thousands of tin horns and cowbells. Church goers planned
to attend one of the many watch

There will be solemn service in St Patrick's ca

"SOUL IS IMMORTAL" SAYS MAETERLINCK
CHICAGO, Dec 81. Committees appointed by coal operators of tho Central competitive bituminous field today began formulating plans to put the soft coal industry on a stable basis. They will report early in the new year. The committees were named at the two day conference which closed here yesterday.

Brewster, of St. Louis, chairman of the conference, that no definite action to govern the attitude of the operators toward that commission was taken. The operators agreed that any raise at present in the price of coal used for domestic purposes, would be unjustified, and would be due Bolely to the retailers. One operator stated that the prices on ' a few grades of steam coal had been raised 14 per cent WASHINGTON, Dec. 31. Informa
tion for establishing a basis of wages and prices in the bituminous coal Industry will be obtained by the three couonissloners appointed by President Wilson to represent the public, miners and operators at hearings to bo held in Washington, beginning Jan. 22.

the soft coal Industry and conditions in the fields. The delay in the opening of the hearings, the commission said, was duo to a desire to permit the miners to complote the work of their special convention . called to meet in Columbus, Ohio, January 6.
