CARL D. GROAT.

Berlin. December 10.-The allied
demand that Germany at once accept
the protocol to the peace treaty was
received last Tuesday afternoon. IL
was the opinion of officials here that
the note was conciliatory in general
tone. The entente agreed to permit
postponement of the seizure OF docks
and marine materials until 1t can be
determined whether or not German
industries will be helplessly crippled
by the loss.
War Prisoners Hold Ground.
The allies have, however, refused
te- eiiange taeis-staad -relatiEss to-izaf
prisoners. They reiterate their threat
to severely punish Germany if there
is any violation of the terms. The
ruling on the demand for payment
for the sinking of the interned fleet
at Scapa Flow is that Germany de-
liver the materials and supplies de-
manded and then the materials will
be returned her If she can prove her
claims to being overburdened are
just.
Germany will sign" said diplo-
mat. well acquainted with affairs.
Paris, December 10.-A Berlin dis
patch TO Matin says the Germans re-
ply to the allies ultimatum will prob
ably be sent TO Versailles today.

republican national convention, where

Chairman Will IL. Hays was amona

their city as the convention meeting
place. NProminent among them were
civic and political leaders from Chica
go and ST Louis, where Charles L.
Hughes and President Wilson were
respectively named in 1916.
Talk Of Selecting Chicago.
There was considerable talk among
politicians of selecting Chicago as
the permanent convention city for the
republican party. Mid western head =
quarters have recently been opened in
that city, it was pointed out, and many
have for years urged that the city be
chosen as regular battle-ground for
candidates foT nomination, and for
the additional reason OF its central
location.
Chicago has had the convention ev-
cry four years with one exception,
since 1896. and il would seem the bal
ance OF favor is in that direction.
Chicago claims TO be about the most
centrally located city, whose auditor
