FINAL INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN
 AMBASSADOR GERARD
On Views to be Presented to the Ger
 man Government.

Washington, Nov. 29-Ambassodor Gerard conferred with President Will son late today -and received final in structions on views to be presented to the German government regarding the deportation of Belgians and subma- rine warfare.
 No written communications have been given the ambassador, but MT. Wilson outlined to him fully the atti- tude of the American government to- ward pending issues. The president is understood to have emphasized the unfavora ble impression created here gians and to have reiterated that the United States had said it's last word on submarine warfare and expected Germany to live up to her pledges.
 After spending an hour with the president, MT. Gerard left for New York. He plans to sail for Berlin on December 5, if his private Business permits. During the day the ambas- sador went to the state department for a final conference with Secretary Lansing and also talked with Secre- tary Daniels and other officials. While Mr. Gerard would not discuss the mat ter for publication, he is said to have informed the president that Germany undoubtedly is ready for peace on terms satisfactory to her. Whether the ambassador will have confer ence in New York with Colonel E. M. House before leaving for Berlin was undecided when he left here. There have been reports here within the last few days that Colonel House himself would go to Europe in the near fu- ture, but the colonel has said that he has no such plans at present.

As an Emergency. Measure to Relieve
 Freight Car Shortage.

Washington, Nov. 29.-As an emer- gency measure to relieve the freight car shortage, the Interstate Commerce Commission today authorized railroads to establish and maintain until May next . new progressive demurrage scale, higher than the present flat rate of $1 day. The scale is a compro- mise between the proposed graduated scale in the railroad tariffs recently suspended and the rates suggested by
 The rates will become effective three days after each railroad files with the commission its formal schedule or probably within a week.
 Under the new scale two free days are allowed and subsequent charges fourth day, $3 for the fifth day and $5 for the sixth and each day thereafter.
 The rule that charges shall be sus- pended on days when weather prevents unloading and the so-called average agreement by which credit is allow ed shippers who unload in less than the two free days. are retained.
 The suspended schedules provided for two free days and charges of S2 for the third day, 8 for the fourth, $4 for the fifth and $5 for the sixth and each day thereafter, with the weather rule eliminated and the average agreement modified. The National Industrial Traffic League, a shippers organiza- ton, at hearing Monday suggested rates of $1 a day for the third and fourth day. g a day for the fifth and sixth days, and $5 for each day there- after.

THREE IMPORTANT POINTS
 SCORED AGAINST TEIPEE
On Trial, Charged With the Murder oi
 His Mother.

Buffalo, N. T., Nov 2s.-Through the testimony of Edward Stengel, serif of ErieA County, the prosecution today established three important points in its case against John Edward Teiper, on trial here charged with the murder of his mother, Mrs. Agnes Telper. These points were:
 That Teiper's car, which he said he had left broken down in the Orchard Park road on the afternoon preceding the tragedy last January, was started without trouble the next morning by mechanic who merely inserted a magneto brush.
 That Teiper, when questioned by the then district attorney, Wesley c. Dud- ley, at first denied ownership of the revolver found near the scene of the murder; but later, after the district attorney telephoned in Teiper's hearing to the man who sold the revolver, ad- mitted that the weapon was his.
 That Teiper, guarded by the sheriff at the funeral of his mother and brother Frederick, ha dmanifested not the slightest emotion throughout the service or burial.
 The jurors examined closely cuts or tears in the coat and shirt that Teiper wore on the night of the tragedy Sheriff Stengel said that Teiper had called his attention to these on the day after the murder. That fellow must have had a knife" said Teiper, point ing to the cuts.
 There was no scratch or bruises on Teiper's arm on the morning after tie murder, the sheriff stated

territory immediately with the staff of their legations and of the consulates.
 The German empire most eTnphat- ically protests against this contempt of international law, of the free will of a neutral country. and of she most elementary rules of International cour- tesy.
 Acting under. instructions from the imperia1 government, I have tine honor to request your exeeilency to forward this protest tc the British govern ment.
 Accept, excelleney. the renewed as- surance of my highest consideration"
 Gern1any's protest will be sent on to Great Britain as requested and as a part of the ordinary routine of the state department. The note requires no other action on the part of this government, which is involved only because it represents German interests in Greece.
 Similar instances in other notes have been transmitted through the department from both sides as part of the courtesy Of the American govern ment in representing helligerent inter eSts in hostile countries.
 Surprise was expressed that the re- quest was made to transmit the note to Great Britain or,ly, especially as Admiral Dufournet. commander of the French fleet, is the active head of the whole allied forces before Greece and has conducted all the negotiations.

 Apparently little infantry fighting has taken place on any of the other fronts. On the line in France and Belgium there have been artillery duels at various points and here and there small attacks by raiding parties of both the belliserents. Similar fight ing is taking place on the Russian front.
