 ALLIES TELL WHY THEY

German Government Denies That It Tried To Take Advantage of Absence of Amer jeans

PARIS, Dec. 29.-The German note in reply to the Entente, delivered tt Paul Dutasta, secretary of the peace conference, says:
 The German Government desires to dissipate the misunderstanding that, owing to the momentary ab sence of American delegates from the commission provided for by the treaty, Germany claimed modified tions and dispositions of the treaty concerning the extradit.on of persons charged with culpability in acts, con trary to military laws, or the repatri ation of prisoners.
 The German Government. previous to receiving the Allied note, had al ready explained the reasons why it would appear necessary to modify the conditions for the execution of those clouses, but the German Gov ernment never made it's assent for the putting into force of the peace treaty. conditional upon a previous solution of that question.
 The German Government main tains it's opinion that the best means to reach a solution of the Scarpa Fow incident would have been to submit he case to internatio arbitration at The Hague. Such measure would not have delayed putting the treaty into force, or the signing of bo hue ,,,n1iEnI
 ''Desirous. however. of doing its utmost for the early re-establishment of peace, the German government declares itself ready to make repara- ions for the damages caused to the Allied and associated governments by the destruction of the ships.
 But the German Government is unable to effect such reparations in he manner demanded by the protocol If November 1 because the execu- ton of the demands formulated in that protocol would compromise ire rievably Germany's economic life md also render impossible of execu- ion the other enormous obligations which the treaty imposes on Ger many.
 "The German Government will for mulate, through experts. positive de- 'ailed propositions showing a mode of reparation, which. although adding q new and heavy burden on Germany in it's present situation. are not al together incompatible with it's vital

NEW STEEL INVENTION BY AN ENGliSHMAN
 CAUSES MUCH COMMENT

LONDON, Dec. 29-The invention of a new steel, far superior to any high speed steel hitherto made, is ascribed by the Daily Mail to John Oliver Arnold, professor of metal lurgy at Sheffield University. The newspaper said the American Govern ment is aware of the invention and is Investigating it and that American metallurgists are working along sim liar lines. The Daily Mail indicates that Professor Arnold uses molyb- denum instead of Tungsten and says:
 'lf large quantities of molybdenum ta hard, silver-whitc metallic ele- menD can be found and the price re- duced, tungsten will take a back seat, because six per cent mOlybdenum will achieve more than IS per cent tung- sten."

A keokuk Gentleman Goes In for

HAS MANY SPECTATORS
Citizens Coming Home from the Fire
at Third and Johnson Streets
Take 1t All In Free of
Charge.

Keokuk hasn't any asylum or any.
thing like it, but once in a whila
something happens here that should
! happen only in insane asylum towns
and one event Of last night was Of
just such character.
The little drama, full OF heart
thrills and pajamas n everything,
caused no end of excitement The
progam read like this: Time, be.
tween eleven-thirty and midnight last
evening; place, down town cafe
bright lights, broad paved street with
plenty of room to run in and con-
venient alleys; cast, long tall dark
complexioned gentleman, renowned
athlete, as well as other things, be-
comingly gowned in bathrobe and
bedroom slippers-the hero. Under
study, young man in uniform and
a large watermelon in his arms who
never went in for track, but Is just
naturally a good runner.
The play was just reaching Its
climax as the spectators approached
the "amphi-theatre" from the fire at
the old Keokuk hotel, so everybody
saw it and was delighted both with
the plot and with the actors. The
hero dressed in his haunted
pajamas (folks think, brown sober
looking bathrobe and bedroom slip
pers, was seen sitting in an automo-
bile in front of the cafe all by him
self-no asylum here, you know
and all at once, like the proverbial
ball shot out of the cannon, he quit
the car and rushed madly acrosa
Fourth and Main streets and up
North Fourth as fast as ne could go.
which was pretty fast. when one
takes into consideration the fact that
he had to hold his barnrobe tight
about him to keep the haunted
pajamas-th looked pink in the
glare of the street light-from show
ing. and also to stoop down in extra
minutes to fasten his slippers on
which kept coming off at uncomfort-
able and frequent intervals.
His "understudy" saw him from
the cafe hurry from the car and out
onto the street, SO he followed him
up. The fleet-footed fellow nearly
caught the hero. but not quite, for
the said "understudy" had huge
watermelon in his hanos which he
refused to let loose OF and which he
carried clasped tightly In his arms
with a deathlike grip during the en-
tire performance.
The climax came In the third act,
fourth scene, just before the bath
robed hero turned into an alley and
was nearly caught by the watermelon
'-fleet-foot" Something happened
about this time to the wonder of the
gpassersby and no one seems to know
how it all ended. Two questions are
iuppermost in peoples minds today
oh where, oh where did the bath
robe and bed room slippers go, and
who ate the watermelon?

EXCUSES OF
COAL DEALERS
Warning That They Will Use Trans
portation Difficulties as Rea-
son to Boost
Prices.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Revival
of war powers to fix prices and regu-
late distribution Of coal to avert un-
justified increases in prices was adj
vocated today by Director General of
Railroads Hines before the senate
committee investigating the coal sit
uation.
He warned that coal men would use
transportation difficulties as an ex-
cuse for raising prices this winter.
Difficulties have been increased by
abandonment of cal pooling and zon-
ing of shipments thus requiring more
cars to haul an equal amount OF coal.
Hines said. He urged extension of
the Lever bill to give the government
control over fuel and publicity as to
the cost Of coal at the mines and to
retail dealers SO the public can pro-
tect itself.
