Paris, Dec. 3-Germany has decided not to sign the protocol presented to her by the Allies as a condition for putting the peace treaty into effect, the peace conference has been mo- tified.
 It was learned only today that Baron Kurt Von Lersner, head of the German delegation here, called on Secretary Dutasta of the conference on Monday and told him that Germany had made such a de- cision.
 This attitude is taken as confirm ing the reports of a, sharp reaction in Germany within the last fortnight. Trained observers of German deVel- opments have expressed to members of the peace conference the view that there has been complete transfor- nation of the situation in Germany brought about, in their opinion, by the failure or the L nItGu states Sen- ate to ratify the peace treaty.
 These observers declare that while the vast majority of the Germans before the Senate's adjournment de, sired the peace treaty ratified as soon as possible they are now supporting the governments attitude in resist ing the demands of the Allies for indemnity for the sinking of the German fleet at Scapa Flow, recom- pense for which was provided for in the protocol
 The question upon which the Ger man representa- lives here, however, appear most sensitive, is the insistence upon the trial of German officers ac- cused of the commission of crimes in France and Belgium.
 Thus far, it is stated, no indications have reached Paris of any disposition of the Germans to modify their atti- tude.
 The supreme council today ad- dressed Q note to Germany protest ing against the increase Of Germany's armament. contrary to the provisions of the peace treaty
