STATEMENT BY N0sKE
MINISTER OF DEFENSE oPPosIo
ACCEPTANCE OF ALLIES

Western Newspaper Union News Service
London. Dee. S.--Gusinv NOske, min
lister of defense. Is determined not to
sign the peace protocol handed Ger
many by the entente, and Is resolved
to recommend that the government
adopt his attitude. come what may, ac-
cording To an Interview with NOske.
Il can not speak for the whole gov
crilmcnl, because il has not yet come
10 II decision" said Noske. "But 1
peace treaty protocol.
'''rhc limit has long been reached.
Let III. allies occupy the country II
they like. The peace now presented
to us is not peace, but pr0longatiOn
of the war.
Were such II treaty accepted the
German nation would rise up and
avcnge itself upon the men who signed
IL and 1t would he right. Great Britain
and France are deliberately planning
the destruction of Germany. All the
confidence I ever had in the pledges
of the allies is gone forever.
by deceit and trickery the British
and French governments are working
up opinion In their countries to Grip
pie Germany still further beyond the
crushing effect of the first treaty. We
have yielded too often, and now must
resist. Let the allies do what they
please"
The correspondent says that, al
though Noske carefully emphasized
that he was only defining his own po-
sition. his words agreed with the in
teniion ascribed to the other members
of the cabinet.
The two straws which Noske rep
resents ms having broken the back Of
German endurance, says the corre-
spondent, are the demand for dock and
hnrbor material and the protocol en-
powering the allies to enforce the ex-
ecutiOn of the peace treaty.
The correspondent says that during
his talk with Noskc he suggested that
If the Germans had not sunk the war
ships In the Scapa Flow, the demand
Of the allies for tugs and docks would
not have been made. To this. he says.
Noske replied:
"Oh, yes. they would. The British
would have invented some prcicxt.
Great Britain Is out 10 cripple Ger
many and demands our last drcdgcs
and cranes 81 MS 10 prevent the re-
vival of our mercantile marine"

seeretary's Annual Report Relates at
Length the Fine Record Of Our
Sea Forces.

Washington, Dec. S.-The annual re-
port of Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
made public today. is a long and chat
ty relation of the efficient work Of
the sea forces of the United States dur
ing the great war and since the sign
ing of the armisticc. Much space Is
devoted to the record made by the
navy In transporting troops to and
from Europe. and full credit Is given
II for its excellent work In actual war
fare and In cleaning up the great mine
field which 1t had laid In the North
sea.
AS for rehabilitation, Mr.. Daniels
believes this Is being accomplished
without the sacrifice of national spir-
II, unity or force" He says:
1.-TWO fundamental principles have
been constantly borne In mind:
"u) There must he and there has
been no loss of ndaptibility TO new and
expected issues. The readiness to hit
and TO hit hard. which won the plaud-
It's of the allies at the very outset,
Inns been preserved In every detail Of
change and rcadIustment. The navy IL

conserving the power that enabled It,
and will again enable II TO meet with
unweakened slncws any crisis that
may arise. Security for the future.
though an uncertain future. has for n
moment been lost sight Of.
"t2) There must he and there has
been no loss of symmetry or whole
ness In the naval organization. A re-
duccd personnel has not been allowed
To mean Representatives. or dlspropor-
tion In whole or In part. As vast
machine. as u national organization. as
II complex or interacting agencies, the
navy is In form and spirit unity. not
II frnciion."
The story of naval avintion Is long
and interesting. hut contains little that
Is not already u matter Of common
knowledge. Like Secretary OF War Ba-
ker. Mr.. Daniels is opposed to the crca.
ilon of n separate air service.
Here Is what the report says OF n
matter that hns aroused considerable
public anxiety:
"rhe attraction OF higher pay In the
merchant marine has caused the navy
TO lose many men. many petty officers.
