SEEK PEACE BY
CHRISTMAS DAY
Efforts Being Made by Allies to
Hasten Agreement on Scapa
Flow Reparati0n.
new NOTE FROM GERMANY
6erIin's Objections to Protocol Offer
ed Remain Only Barrier to Ex-
change of Notifications Be-
tween Powers by Yuletlde.

Paris, Dec 23.-The supreme coun-
ell of the peace conference, it became
known, is making every effort to
reach an agreement with Germany on
the question of reparation for the
sinking of the German feet at Scapa
Flow, so that the protocol may be
signed and notifications of the treaty
Of Versailles exchanged before Christ
mas.
The terms of the note replying to
representatives were considered by
the council. AS no decision was
reached it was planned to hold an
other session this evening in Premier
Clemenceau's quarters at the war
office.
1t was believed that the note, il
then completed, would be handed dur
ing the evening to Baron Kurt Won
Lersner, head of the German mission,
in the hope of expediting whatever
consideration the German delegation
found necessary to give it.
Few details now remain to be dis
posed of by the council to clean Up
the work of the peace conference,
with the exception of the Hungarian
and Turkish treaties and the Russian
situation.
Peace Up to Germany.
1t was thought that all else might
be disposed Of in time 10 permit the
1 celebration of Christmas in state Of
effective peace with Germany, unless
that nation maintained certain of it's
objectioas to the final terms after re-
ceiving the councils note
,Serbia's demand for priority to the
amount of 2,5O0,0OO,OOO francs in
Preparations on the same footing as
that accorded Belgium was discussed
by the supreme council, but no decis-
ion was reached. 1t appeared to be
the feeling that this was question
for the reparations commission to dis
pose of after the treaties Of Versailles
and ST. German had been put into
effect.
AS all the powers interested except
Roumania had concurred in the allot-,
ment for distribution of the rolling
stock of the railways Of the old Aus
tro-Hungarian empire, the council de-
cided to send note TO Roumania ask
ing it to signify its acceptance
Belgian Neutrality Abandoned.
Abandonment of the British plan,
guaranteeing the neutrality of Bel
GUM for five years on the part of the
allies, is reported by the Petit Paris
len, which says the French and Brit
ish governments are seeking to reach
an agreement which will give entire
satisfaction to Belgium.
In French peace conference circles,
it is reported, sentiment is favorable
to the maintenance of the Turkish en-
pire under certain guarantees. Cen
eral Berthelot, who has gone to Lon
don, will discuss this question during
his stay.

The part railroads have played in the develop

To the $4,000, 900 now invested in our

billions for additional tracks, stations and
terminals, and engines, electric power houses

 SPARTACUS GROUP.

Berlin, Sunday, Jan. 12.-The Sile- sian railway station, which was the last important Spartacan stronghold in Greater Berlin, now is in posses sion of the government forces.
 Rosa Luxemburg, associated with Dr. Karl Liebknecht in the leadership of the rebellious Spartacans, has been arrested by government soldiers, says "a report in the Taeglische Rundeschau. The arrest is said to have been made when the troops were cleaning out the Central office of the Spartacans last night, when Dr. Liebknecht's son also is reported to have been taken.
 The capture of the Spartacan of flee was effected by the free use of 5-hand grenades. The soldiers burned in the street an immense quantity of the Bolshevik literature found in the headquarters.
