LATE NOTE PROVIDES Terms
COMPATIBLE WITH ECONOMIC
NEEDS, PROMISES PRISONERS
Captyes Will be Returned as Soon Ratificatons Ex
changed; Demand for Docks and Merchant Marine Ma
eriaS is Lghened Enemy Delegation Awaits Decision.
BY HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent.)
PARIS. Dec. S.-The latest allied
note to Germany contains sufficient
concessions to eliminate the possibil-
ity of further occupation of German
Territory to enforce its terms, accord
ing to authoritive information today.
1t is believed the concessions are such
that Germany cannot afford to do
otherwise than to sign Immediately.
While the note demands immediate
acceptance OF the protocol of the trea-
ty, the last paragraph. which provided
for the invasion of Germany in event
OF failure to execute the terms. is prac-
ticaIly eliminated
Return Prisoners.
The most important point from the
German standpoint is the promise to
return German war prisoners as soon
as ratifications OF the treaty are ex-
changed. The demand for delivery of
drydocks and merchant marine ma
terials. in payment for the sinking of
the German war fleet is also lightened.
The supreme council is meeting today
to decide when the note will be de-
livered.
Fight UItimatum.
The German delegation here insists
that if the note is an uItimatum it will
not be accepted but if il is conciliatory
the national assembly may take it un-
der consideration.
1t is learned the note permits de-
livery OF four hundred thousand tons
of these materials in lots that will con-
form with Germany's own economic
needs. Allied military plans. it is
provide for quick occupa-
ton of Essen, Ruhr Valley and Frank
fort in event Germany refuses to ac-
cept the note
Berlin Advices Puzzle
LONDON. Dec s.-Germany will
not dare refuse to sign the protocol, it
is generally believed by official circles
here today. The war office and adj
niralty are busy, however. preparing
he British war machine to be thrown
into gear at moments notice. Of
ficials are admittedly puzzled ovevr ad
ices from agents in Berlin. These
nave insisted that so far there is no
Indication of weakening in the Ger
nan attitude of defiance.

PrickIy Porky Learns What

Prickly Porky the Porcupine had
lost nearly all his quills, the little
spears he carries in his coat, you
know, and his first feeling was that
of disgrace. He felt very much as
you or | would feel If we had to ap-
pear among our neighbors half dress

ing he had. Because of it he wanted
to keep out Of sight of his neighbors

Even there he was not hidden from

Sammy Jay was the first to discover
him. At first Sammy didn't notice
anything wrong. He didn't notice
anything wrong until he flew right
over into the tall hemlock tree where
Prickly Porky was. Then Sammy's
sharp eyes noticed that there was
something queer about Prickly Porky.
At first he didn't understand what
it was. Then all of sudden it came
over him that there were only half a
dozen or so of those sharp little
spears peeping out from the fur of
Prickly Porky's coat. Sammy's eyes
opened very wide.
What under the sun have you done
with all your little spears" he de-
manded.
Prickly Porky mumbled something
which Sammy couldn't understand.
He repeated his question. Again

A Sure Way to Cut

keep my boy in shoes because he is

shoes with Neoiin Soles his shoe bill
has been reduced 66 2-3t," says J. Ali
son Allen of Amity, Arkansas.
On the importance Of Neolin Soles
as Il money-saving factor there are
thousands of parents who agree with
Mr.. Allen. Because Neolin Soles give
EXTRA wear where most shoes wear
out quickest, they cut your shoe bills
down.
Ask for Neolin-soled shoes when next
new shoes are needed. either for your
self or for your children. lOu can get
them at any good shoe store. And take
your worn shoes to the repair shop ami
