Germany Sees Play ut Politics.

Germany Sees Play Mt Politics.
Berlin, Dec. 27.-The entente's
last note demanding the signing of
the protocol to the peace treaty was
discussed by the cabinet today. In
official circles the note is regarded
as further evidence that the SUI
preme council is playing politics.
Government officials point out what
Is believed to be contradiction
which in the first sentence refers to
the absence of American action and
later adds that the United States
may be omitted from the ratifying
powers. The German government
believed this reference superfluous
and the government knows that rat
ification by three powers is all that
Is needed.
The German reply Is expected to
suggest that second protocol ex-
planning the exact amount Of tonnage
demanded be signed at the same
time.

was more of success than the Ma
sonic picnic at Alameda grove, which
was attended by more than 400 Ma

Automobiles and trucks were used to
convey the crowd to and from the
grove, the procession starting from
the Masonic temple shortly after

was a baseball game between a team
composed of members of the Blue
Lodge and one made up of Shriners.
The Blue Lodge won by a score of 7
to G. Sidney j. Abrahames acted as
umpire. The crowd and the players
tried to start a rough house early in

small cannon from his hip pocket and
awed them. Peace and order reigned
throughout the rest of the game. The
batteries were Barber and Cameron
for the Shrine and Barker and Pom
erenk for the Blue Lodge.
In addition to the baseball game,
there was a tug of war between six
men from the Shrine pitted against
an equal number from the Blue Lodge.
The former won. There was also an
egg race and other sports
One of the most enjoyable parts of
the whole affair was the picnic sup
per, served on tables taken from the
Masonic temple. Chairs enough to
seat the crowd were also taken out.

provided by the. women were heaped
on the tables and at given signal

many dancers could keep from under

spectators. The Ellis orchestra fur-

sponded to encores. IT was estimated
that this was the largest dance ever
