OCCUPY TERRITORY TO EN-
FORCE ALLIED TERMS.

Paris, Dec. 8.-The latest allied
note to Germany contains sufficient
concessions to eliminate the possibil-

ing to authoritative information OBJ
tanned today. These concessions are
such, it is believed, that Germany
cannot afford to do otherwise than
sign Immediately. While note de-
mands immediate acceptance of pro-
cotol of peace treaty the last para
graph which provided for the inva-
sion of Germany in the event she
failed to carry out the treaty terms,
was practically eliminated. Handing
of the note to Germany was inten-
tionally delayed to permit allies to
complete military preparations and to
permit renouncing of terms of armi-
tice should Germany fail to yield.
At its meeting today the supreme
council was to decide upon time for
the delivery of the note.
London, Dec. ST will recon-
mend that Germany refuse to accept

claring in an interview in Berlin

NAVAL AIRSHIP
PARTLY WRECKED
IN BADLANDING

In making a landing Monday night
at the airship school one of the big
dirigibles was completely demolished.
This was the second accident resulting
in the impairment of dirigibles at the
naval station Monday and January 20
seemed to be a bad day for blimps.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock, just when the huge airship
was making a landing. For some rea-
son it got nose-heavy and crashed into
the water. which was very shallow
near the hangers of the airship school
The occupants of the undercar es-
capped with a wetting. The mechanics
succeeded in getting the ship ashore,
and disassembled it for repairs.
The recent accidents will not impair
the work of the airship school, how
ever, as the efficient system under
which Lieutenant Geddes, command
ing officer. is operating the school,
makes provision for just such occas-
ions as this and the work of instruc-
ton Will go on as formerly.
