NOSKE URGES GERMANY
TO REJECT PROTOCOL

LONDON. Dec. ST will recon-
mend that Germany refuse to accept
the protocol. Gustav Noske, Ger
man minister of defense, was quoted
as declaring in an interview in Ber-
lin. printed In the Mail here
Noske said he could not speak for
the nation. according to the interview,
but he personally believed the limit
had been passed"
LET the allies, whom we are un-
able TO oppose, occupy our country"
Soske was quoted as saying This

the war"
But / hope the protocol will be re-
jected, no matter what the conse-

Parr, the "other man." assumed a
dramatic attitude. Standing with his
back to the wall, his arms out
stretched, he said:
Fill me with bullets. I will offer
no Resistance. You have the right to

Instead of shooting. DR.. Braune
turned to his attorney and instructed
him to draw up papers outlining the
alleged Illicit relations between Parr
and Mrs. Braune and containing a re-
lease from DR.. Baune by Mrs. Braune
of all rights as his wife.
Both Parr and Mrs. Braune signed
the papers. Then turning to Parr, Mrs.

No Prospect Of Its Coming Up in

Hitchcock Says.

There is little prospect of the Ger

the Senate or brought to the Senate's
attention until after the Christmas

uled to st from December 20 to
Januaryo Senator Hitchcock, the
Administration leader, announced this

Hitchcock said the treaty was still

President intimated to him on Friday,
when he and Senator Fall visited

1t was generally agreed here that
the action Of the President is the last
card Of the Administration, and that

While the note demands immediate
acceptance of the protocal of the
peace treaty. the last paragraph,
which provides for invasion OF Ger

from the German standpoint-ls the
promise to return German war pris-
