To Modify Terms.

Paris, Dec. S.-The allies have con-
sented to modify some of the terms of
the protocol putting the peace treaty in
to effect to which Germany had made
objection.
The clause providing for indemnity
for the destruction Of the German fleet
at Seapa Flow has been modified SO as;
to refer to The Hague tribunal the
question whether the delivery Of the
tonnage demanded will cripple Ger
many, it is understood. The under
standing also is that other features of
the protocol most Objectionable to the
Germans have been eliminated. 1t is
expected that the German plenipoten-
tiaries will sign the protocol without
much further delay.
Other Examinations.
The final paragraph of the protocol
providing that even after the peace
treaty has gone into effect the allies
might use military measures of coer-
cion to insure the execution of the
treaty terms. has been eliminated en-
tircly as also has the clause relating
to the evacua ton of the Baltic pro-
vinces by German troops.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. P. Moore received
letters from their son, Joe, some time
ago which stated that he had just
arrived in New York after voyage of
more than twenty-five thousand miles
during which time he visited China,
the Philippine Island, and a number of
interesting places. The engine of the
ship he was sailing on was to small for
the ship and they arrived in New York
fifty days behind the schedule. The
ship is going out of commission and the
bows will be transferred to other ships.
Joe has travelled on the Rio Grande
Southern railroad, so being behind
schedule does not bother him, and we
imagine that he felt right at home
when the ship was making seven knots
an hour. The only difference between
the government and the railroad COM
pany is that the ship Is put out of
commission while the railroad continues
to afflict the public.
