NUMBER IS
GERMANY GIVEN LAST CHANGE.

The Allies have consented 10
modify some Of the terms of the
protocol, it was announced at Paris
last Monday. The clause providing
FOR the indemnity for the destruc-
ton of the German fleet at Scapa
Flow has been modified so as to
refer to The Hague tribunal the
question whether the delivery of
the tonnage demanded will cripple
Germany, it is understood.
The understanding also is that
the other features Of the protocol
most Objectionable to the Germans
have been eliminated. 1t is expect
ed that the German pIcnipoten-
tiari will sign the protocol without
much further delay. The final
paragraph of the instrument pro-
viding that even after the peace
treaty has gone into effect the Al
lies might use military measures of
coercion to ensure the execution of
the treaty's terms. has been elm
mated entirely, as also has been the
| clause relating to the evacuation of
the Baltic provinces by German
| troops.
reply was sent last Saturday,
Dec 9th, to the German peace com
mission demanding the signing of
the protocol, putting the Peace
Treaty into effect. The Allied note
stated that should Germany fail to
sign. the Allies. it is set forth, will
be Obliged TO have recourse to CO.
ercion through military measures.
The note recalled TO Germany that
making the treaty effective means
the immediate release of all pris-
oncrS of war.
| military program has been
mapped out by Marshall Foch,
which is to be put into effect in
case Germany should again refuse
to sign. This would mean the oc-
cupatiOn of the Rhur Basin and
Frankfort by the Allies with DOS
siblc extension of the movement
further into the interior of Ger
many According to its terms the
Allies can denouncc the armistice
after giving three days notice. Bcr-
lin is asked to reply but as no time
! limit is SET. the note is not an uI-
timatum and that term cannot be
applied 10 ii.
General satisfaction will be felt
that the entente power has so modi-
fled the protocol Of the treaty that
Germany is expected to sign it.
There is, of course, no sympathy
with Germany in this country.
Those loyal Americans who pro-
tested some Of the provisions of
the treaty of Versailles did so for
no other reason than prudence.
They did not believe it the policy
OF wisdom to impose upon Germany
terms which were unenforcable.
but which were certain to add to
the unrest Of that country. A Ger
many too poor is as much TO be
feared as Il Germany too arrogant.
When the peace conference fixed
the terms. that was the end of op-
position in this country. Those
who viewed the treaty with alarm
conSolcd themselves with the re-
Election that it carried within itself
an antitONin in The covenant of the
league. which provided means by
which he wrongS of the treaty
could be rightcd. That is the view
OF liberals today, however, much
they have been disappointed by
the mOnStrOuS action of partisan
Senatc.-MonrOc Waterman.

White Way to be Installed
In About Eight Weeks


According 10 present plans, the
Main street white Way" will be
installed early in September.
Twenty-one monolights haye been
ordered, sample of which is at
City Electrician E. E. Bucks office
IN the City Hall. The lamp is of
very artistic design with a substan-
tial, ornamental standard. From
the pavement to top of the lamp is
about II feet.
The lamps are to be distributed
as heretofore described-twoa at each
intersection and three at equal in
tervals through each block, all in a
line down the center of the street.
| The odd number, FL, is a result Of
the arrangement at the north end Of
the paving, where but one lamp will
be used instead of two at the inter.
section.
Thr entire system was purchased
from the King Foundry of ST. Louis
and the material will cost So, 800.
The lamps will be equipped with
individual switches, SO that any
number can be used at time.

Ellsworth Now To
Pave Business Streets

According to the Ellsworth Record,
the proposition of paving the main
business streets of that city is being
very favorably received. 1t is pro-
posed to pave from the depot to the
court house, from curb to curb
through the business section of
West End, and an 18.ft. width the
rest OF the way, and to pave from
curb to curb the entire length Of
Broadway, the East Ends main
street.
The worst stretch of that road be-
tween the depot and the court
house, about 500 feet in length, was
paved some three years ago and is
still in as good condition as when
first opened to traffic, proving that
the new proposition is feasible in
spite of the difficulty heretofore ex-
perienced in maintaining decent
dirt or macadamized roadway
therein fact, it is proved that
cement paving is the only sort of
permanency can be had.

Warming!

Gov. E. L. Philip has signed a
law which will produce something
OF a sensation among the ice cream
consumers. 1t directly affects the
housewife who purchases pint of
milk in a bottle, and reaches the
retailer of ice cream who buys from
manufacturers. The law was en-
acted chiefly to reach ice cream
users who fail to cleanse containers
thoroughly or who fail to return the
containers within II hours.
The law will be enforced strictly
blythe Dairy and Food Department, F"
says Commissioner J. G. Weigle.
Weigle says that besides the large
loss annually through destruction
by acids of ice cream containers that
are allowed to stand empty without
cleansing, the filthy practice en-
dangers the health and life of per-
sons who use milk or ice cream.
The chief offenders against whom
the law is aimed are the big retailers
OF ice cream, but the family that
purchases ice cream for Sunday
dinner, or buys milk in bottles, may
find itself prosecuted for failure to
return the retainer clean.
Other frequent offenders are the
small grocery, drug and confection-
cry stores that sell ice cream.
Following is the full text of the
new law; Chapter 338, Laws of 1919:
Amy person. firm or corporation,
who receives in cans, bottles or
other vessels any milk or cream, or
other dairy product-to be manu-
featured into food for man, or for
the purpose of resale-when such
cans, bottles or vessels are to be re-
turned, shall cause the said cans,
bottles or other vessels to be
thoroughly washed and cleansed-
and shall return or cause the same
to be delivered to a common carrier
for shipment to the owner thereof,
within seventy-two hours after the
contents of such container is re-
moved advertisement.

Would Sein Carp
From Local Ponds

On a recent visit to Bay City, ye
scribe was the guest of Capt. Tyler
OF that village on short motor trip
out to the Captains nets and during
the trip we brought up the subject
of the presence Of so many carp in
the Kinnickinnic. The Captain told
US that these carp are not menace
to the stock of trout in the Kinnic-
kinnic. He says that the carp car
not swallow anything as large as
good sized minnow, and that they
are not feeding at the time the trout
are spawning.
But, he added, if the people here
want the carp seined from the local
ponds, he can do it, and will if
allowed to do it in his own way. We
explained the efforts that were
made year or SO ago to sein carp
from the lower pond, but the
Captain insists that in spite Of the
stumps and snags he can get the
carp out. and without injury to the
trout.

Miss Stella Hanson Hurt
In Auto Accident

\ Miss Stella Hanson, daughter of
Hons and Mrs. c.. E. Han.
son Of this city, is reported
in a dangerous condition as a
result of injuries received in
an auto accident which occurred at
Richardton, N. D., last Friday
evening.
Miss Hanson, who had been con-
Quoting a millinery department of
store at Mott, N. D., had gone to
Rlchardton to visit friend, and
while on pleasure drive in that
.citythe car in which she was riding
was struck by another car, which,
it is said, was being driven reckless
ly at high rate of speed.
Miss Hanson suffered a broken
wrist and her back was badly
bruised, so badly in fact that it is
impossible for her to move.
Her father left yesterday for
Richardton.
