Berlin. Dec. i3.--Germany's reply TO
the last note from the supreme coun-
ell has been sent to Versailles. Moth
ing has been given out as to it's con-
tents. Reports state that 1t merely
renews the governments disclaimer of
the responsibility for the sinking OF
intcrned German ships at Scapx Flow
and sets for the exceptions to the
entente's insistence for compensation
for vessels. On the proposition that
Germany sign the protocol, 1t Is re-
ported the note proposes that the in
demnity concessions be submitted to O
body Of experts. 1t Is believed the
note indicates u measure OF yielding
on this point. Reports declare that
there are no indications that the Ger
mans have taken the position that
failure Of the United States senate to
ratify the treaty has created a new
situation. and 1t, Is limited that failure
Of the senate to ratify does not
absolve the other powers from cx-
changing ratiflcations. It is believed
here that the reply seeks to temporize.

over. n
"Thss skeleton face Of the league
may remain, but alliances will be the
real force In the world. We have
been grossly misinformed regarding
the sentiment In America. We should

in store for the Wilson league in
America.

COAL HAS RIGHT 6F WAY.
All Freight Gives PLACE to Fuel 9
Cars Speed Mins~ard.


Chicago, Dee. 1.-THE coal car
reigned supreme last night on rail-
roads Of the west and northwest.
Orders giving fuel carriers right Of
way over, all classes OF freight were
Issued by X. II. Ashton. regional d.
rector Of railroads, to provide means
Of transportation for coal from the
Illinois. Indiana and Iowa mines as
fast as It Is brought to the ground.
Coal cars, both loaded and empty,
must be given preference in move
ment over every class OF freight" the
directions to railroad heads read.
Complete station and yard checks
must be maintained to insure that
such cars are kept switched up and
promptly dispatched on trains.
Goal cars west Of the Missouri
river may be loaded with any suitable
commodity in the direction Of the coal
mines, but they must not be delayed
for such loading and must be de-
livered at once to roads serving Illi-
nols. Indiana, and Iowa mines"
In stating the necessity for haste in
moving coal cars, the order said:
after a suspension of forty days,
coal mining In the central bituminous
field will be resumed at once. In order
to meet the needs for current require
ments and to repleuish the stocks Of
railroad and commercial coal depleted
during the strike 1t will be necessary
that extraordinary measures be taken
to crowd the movement Of coal cars
to the mines IN illinois, Indiana. Iowa.
and contiguous territory.
''The whole effect Of this order
should be- understood to be the ex-
peditious movement Of coal under
load and the prompt return to the coal
mines Of empty cars for loading to in
sure continuous car supply to the full
ability Of the mines to load"

ment Notification on steps already taxi

Referring to the commission plan in
the president's proposal tho resolu-
tion adopted by the operators said the
vital issues at stake arc not mention
ed. nor is any safety provided for In
the future" -
The operators demand that a rep
resentative commission similar to that
which investigated the anthracite
strike Of 1s0a be empowered to investi-
gate the facts. which the people have a
right to- -lnow.
ITO neglect this duty is to surrender
public interest to an overbearing group
which has welded the coal industry
into class which is opposed to
American principles" Amplifying the
resolutions. the operators statement
said the mine strike was an indirect
violation OF contract and left the
miners fred to strike at any time they
desired.
Operators of the central field were
still awaiting results today. as were
Representatives of other sections. Re-
ports indicated that few miners had
returned to work.
