ALLIES DEMAND
THAT HUNS SIGN
THE PROTOCOL
(Rv Associated Press)

PARIS, Dec. G-In a note drafted by
the supreme council today it was de-
manded that Germany sign the proto-
col providing for carrying out of the
peace treaty, failing which, it is set
forth that the allies will be obliged to
have recourse to military measures.
Some speculation is being indulged in
as to whether the American forces in
the occupied region would join in carry
ing out the military measures should
Germany refuse to sign the protocol.
1t is learned, however that this ques-
ton has not been raised by the allies
who assume that as the armistice is
still in force the Americans would take
part in any forward movement.

my start" you may say for me" said
