Berlin, Dec. S.-Rumors abroad
that the committees investigating the
war guilt of German leaders in 1914
have discontinued their meetings, are
wrong, according to news agency.

sion but new methods will be adopted
which will make it impossible for

Paris, Dec. S.-The Allies have
consented to modify some of the terms
of the protocol putting the peace
treaty into effect to which Germany
has made objection. A clause pro-
viding for indemnity for the destruc-

Germans will be eliminated. It ID ex-

will sign the protocol without further
delay.
The final PARAGRAPH Of the protocol

treaty Is in effect the Allies might
use military measures of coercion to
ensure the execution Of the treaty's
terms was eliminated entirely as also
was the clause relating to the evacua.

The imputation of the responsible
ity to Germany for the sinking OF the

expected the note setting forth the
Allied position will be handed to the
Germans today.

INSPECTOR HENRY'S
MOTOR CAR STOLEN
Thieves Take Automobile
Parked in broadway.

Those nasty burglars who have been
worrying the police for 30 long. by ring
ing burglar alapms and stealing things
right under the nose of Headquarters
put another notch on their gun last night
when they drove away with big seven
passenger automobile belonging to In
spector Dominic Henry of the Fourth In
spection District, which is the district In
which the bright lights of Broadway
used to be. This is the second time
within a few months that the mean
things have run away with the Inspec-
tors car.
Inspector Henry drove up in his car
about o'clock to the Palais Royal
Cafe at Broadway and Foriy-eight
street. He parked his car on Broad
way near the corner and went inside
to attend a dinner in honor of Capt.
Marty Owens. who drove an ambulance
in France. All the high brains of the
department were there-the Commits
sioner himself, the chief inspector, all
tho other inspectors, most OF the deputy
and special deputy commissioners, and
even the captain of the precinct. yet
the thieves went away with the inspec-
tors automobile.
When Inspector Henry came out of
the cafe at ten minutes to IL and dis
covered the loss 1t wasn't five minutes
before Detectives Dillon and Whalen
were sleuthing hotfoot all over the
precinct. a general alarm had been
turned in ordering all patrolmen to keep
an eye open for car bearing the license
number Hill and over in the West For
ty-seventh street station Lieut.. Yunge
was frantically pressing the buttons that
fie shed the twenty signal lights in the
precinct and called all the coppers there
to try to find the Inspectors car.

LONDON. July 23.-The latest action of
the striking miners gives every indica-
ton OF being long stride toward indus
trial revolution. Aggravated by the
action of the Government in calling out
naval men to take the places of strikers
in keeping the mines cleared OF water
the Miners Federation has made no re-
ply TO the Governments inquiry as to
what the federation proposes to do in
regard 10 the strike of the pumpmen. No
further negotiations in the dispute have
been reported. and no information can
be obtained in regard to the disposition
OF the naval men in the various coal
mining districts.
The worst flooding OF mines now is
taking place in West Yorkshire, and un-
less something Is done Immediately II
will be impossible ever again to get
some of the older mines into operating
condition. Near Castleford one large
Pit was filling up rapidly and must be
idle for at least three months. In South
Yorkshire. while the peril of flooding IS
not so pressing. there is a great danger
that the interruption Of ventilation may
cause spontaneous combustion in some
of the deeper pits. In some cases where
the managers OF the mines kept the ven
tilators and pumps running the strikers
appear to have compelled the few re-
naming workmen to leave the premises
Altogether there are more than SOC. 900
men idle, with no settlement or hope OF
settlement in sight There are two dis
tinct strikes in progress. The first is
