''SIGN PROTOCOL"
TENOR OF FINAL
NOTE TO BERLIN
Germany Warned or the Last
Time" That Patience of Al
lies Is About Exhausted.

Paris, Dec 8.-(By The Associ-
ated Press. 1.-The supreme councils
notes dealing with the peace treaty
were delivered to Baron Won Lers-
ner, head of the German delegation,
Monday evening.
The first note denies the German
demands fof modification of the
treaty or the surrender of Germans
charged with crimes against inter
national warfare and the return of
prisoners. 1t agrees to consider the
economic effects of the indemnities
required for the sinking of
warships in the Scapa Flow on
Germany in "a spirit of equity, after
hearing by the reparations COM
mission"
Note Warns Germany.
The note warns Germany "for
the last time" the denunciation of
the armistice would give the allied
armies all latitude for necessary
military measures and add:
I'm this spirit. we await without
delay signature of the protocol and
the exchange of ratifications.
Regarding the coercion clause OF
the protocol the supreme council
considers that signature Of the pro-
tocol and ratification will make the
treaty effective and that the proto.
COTS execution will be guaranteed
by the general terms of the treaty
and by ordinarily recognized meth
DDS. 1t rejects the Germans pre-
tended right" to modification of the
treaty clauses as compensation for
the absence of Americans from the
commissions"
"Vain to Seek Delay"
1t declares that it is vain for
Germany to seek to delay the
treaty's effectiveness because OF the
position of the Americans with re-
gard to the commissions.
The second note deals entirely
with the Scapa Flow incident. II
places the responsibility on the Ger
mans for the sinkings and sees in
the protest only "an attempt. difficult
to explain, to delay the treaty"
The note cites the secret message
of the chief of the German admir-
atty (Admiral Won Trotsa) to Ad-
miral Won Reuter-, in command of the
German crews of the Scapa Flow
ships, dated May, telling him that
the fleets disposition Cannot be
decided without us, it will be fin
ished by US and delivery to the en-
emy avoided"

MAY TRY EX-KAISER
IN HISTORIC COURT.

London, Dec. 8.-The British au-
thorities are considering the ques-
ton of trying the former kaiser in
the old Bailey court, which is 400
years old, and made famous by
Dickens.
If this ancient court should be
chosen for the scene of the trial, the
ex-kaiser would be lodged in the ia
NOUS Newgate prison, adjoining old
Bailey. This, it is argued, would
have the inconvenience of having
him imprisoned in the tower, neces-
stating daily journeys to the law
court.

Railroad Men Report One Of
Most Severe Storms That
Ever Hit Nebraska-Trains
Held All Night in Terminals.
SNOW PLOWS STALLED;
80 BELOW AT POINTS
Two U. P. Trains SnoWbound
On Branch Line Without
Light or Heat, Report-Lin-
coin Service Suspended.
A thermometer exposed to the
wind at Sixteenth and Farnam
streets registered S degrees be-
low zero at 2 this morning.

One of the most severe billiards.
ever experienced in Nebraska in
the month of December ragged
throughout the state last night, ac-
cording to reports by Burlington
and Union PACIFIC railroad train dis
patchers.
Burlington trains between Omaha
and Lincoln on the main line we're
,entiely discontinued, according to
the Burligton train dispatcher, who
also said indirect reports were that
trains were being held for the night
in terminals on the entire Burling-
ton system west of Omaha, both on
the main and branch lines.
Squadrons of snow plows were put
in use to clear the way for the de-
layed Burlington trains. :
U. P. Trains Run Late.
Union Pacific trains we're from
three to four hours late, but con-
tinued running during the night,
Low temperatures made it almost
impossible to heat the cars, and pas
sengers experienced discomfort from
the cold. e--,
The storm, which started with
light winds and snowfall yesterday
morning, did not begin to interfere
seriously with the running of.trains
until early last night, when the wind
increased to gale, and snow began
to drift.
20 to 80 Below.
Temperatures averaging about flve
below zero prevailed in the eastern
half of the state and incomplete re-
ports indicated that much lower tenn
peraturcs prevailed farther west,
dropping from 20 to 80 degrees be-
low in Wyoming and Montana.
The highest temperature in Oma-
la during the day, according to the
weather bureau report, was ID de-
grees above zero, and the lowest |
above, which was the record at 8 p.
rn., when the final reading of the
thermometer for the day was taken.
Snow, accompanied by heavy
winds, fell during most of the night
in all parts of the state. Although
the snowfall in many parts was COM
paratively light in many places, cuts
we're so heavily drifted that snow
pfows were unable to cope, with the
situation, according to reports.
Anticipate Hurry Fuel Calls.
Railroad officials anticipate that
the severe weather will result in
many hurry calls for coal from
towns west of here. This, they say,
complicates the task, of bring
ing coal to Omaha from western
mines.
Persistent reports that two branch
line trains on the Union Pacific were
stalled in cuts without heat or
light could not be verified by the
Union Pacific train dispatcher last
night. The reports did not give the
location of the stranded" trains.
