Berlin Fails to Give
Sufficient Trains
To Allied Troops
Report to Supreme Council
Says Only Four a Day
Can Be Supplied for Use
in Plebiscite Districts

PARIS, Dec. 27.--The Supreme Coun-
Gil went into session this morning
under the presidency of Premier Gle
menceau and received information rela-
tive to the results of the first meeting
between German and Allied military
experts regarding arrangements for
the execution of the treaty of Versailles.
1t appeared on the first exchange of
views that the railroad material Of
fered by the Germans for the trans
portation of Allied troops to districts
where plebiscites are to be held was
considered insufficient by the Allied
representatives.
The report on the negotiations was
laid before the council by General
Weigand. 1t revealed that the Germans
had declared that because Of lack of
material it was impossible to supply
the six trains daily demanded by the
Allies. They made an offer of four
trains day for the time required
The council also considered the ma
ture of the reply to the Swiss memo
randum concerning the entry of
Switzerland into the league of nations.
The council will reply to the Swiss
suggestion that its entry into the
league be subject to certain conditions

Despite Near Riots OH Christ
mas, Cafes Ask Permission to
Stay Open Till 2 A. Nj.

PARIS, Dec. 27.--Efforts are being
made by the president of the Restaura.

Prefect of Police of Paris, to gran,
permission for the restaurants and
cafes to remain open ct least until 8
o'clock on New Years morning. Econ
omy in the use of light is promised by
the restaurant men.
The "1ntransigeant" believes the an
nouncement that the rule closing res
taurants at 1880 p. m. would be en-
forced on New Years Eve is not entirely
due to the coal question. 1t says the
authorities have made the decision be-
cause Of certain incidents which took
place on Christmas Eve, notably in the
Place Pigalle, in the Montmartre caba-
ret district, where early morning work
"rs hootcd the revelcrs as they were
eaving the cafes.
1t was decided by the Ministry of the
interior, the "lntrarsig geant" adde's. not
to risk repetition of the scenes, which
the newspaper says, after the accounts
published of the general indulgence in
Christmas luxuries, might have more
serious results.

Scapa Flo,U Protocol

BERLIN. Dec. 26 (Delayed). loving
to the double holiday, Berlin has been
without newspapers for the last
twenty-four hours, and the text of the
Entente's last note, demanding the
signing of the protocol to the peace
treaty, will not be published until
Saturday. The Cabinet held a brief
session to-day for the purpose of in
formally discussing the note.
Official opinion in Berlin relative to
the Entente communication. it is said,
regards it as further evidence that the
Supreme Council is playing politics.
Government officials point out what is
believed here to be seeming con
tradiction in the note, which in its
Introductory sentence refers to the
absence of American ratification and
subsequently mentions the possibility
that the United States may be de-
finitely omitted from the list of ratifv-
ing powers
Reference Believed Superfluous

Miss Rumel declared the Firms here
were reputed to be excellent material
with which revolutionists might work,
quoting various anarchistic leaders to
substantiate this statement.
Gas Emma Goldman has said. the
Firms were born to rebellion and raised
to revolution she declared. | under
stand that Hayward seconded her by
saying it needs only a spark to infame
the Firms in this country to revolu-
ton, because they have always been
under the oppression of the Gar.
of the nineteenth century the Firms
were conquered by the Russians. They
were given a constitution, but the

communication with Martens in time
to have him before the committee yes
terday, but would agree TO do so at any
time on forty-eight hours notice. This
offer was acceptable to Chairman Lusk,
who said that the informant sought
from Martens was far more desira BILE
than the $1,000 bond that might be
forfeited
