Most of the German pro-
tests against the Peace
Treaty terms received by
the Allies are said to in-
press the Allied chiefs as
being designed as propa-
ganda. 1t is pointed out
that the German notes bear
evidence OF having been written
before the German delegation
had seen the treaty, the text OF
the document not being quoted.
No further notes were presented
bv the enemy representatives on
Thursday.

the terms of the treaty. 1t has

Germany and three of the principal
associated powers will bring the
treaty into force between the ratt-
fying parties, enabling the immedi-
ate resumption of trade.
The police authorities of Berlin
have issued warnings against demon
strations toward foreigners in the
German capital, threatening punish
ment for those who either incite or
participate in uprisings.

German note registering objec-
tions to the treaty arrange
ments for the left bank of the
Rhine and the Sarre Valley has

beyond detaching them from Aus
tria.
