GENERALS MADE THREATS OF
QUITTING IF TREATY SIGNED
WITHOUT RESERVATIONS
Ertzberger, Who Made
Glowing Promises, Stands
In Strained Relation Now.

Berlin, TUESDAY. Associated
Press. Long accounts written for
the Berlin papers by correspondents
at Weimar telling of events proceed
ing the decision to sign the peace
treaty show that there was a threat
by the generals and officers of the
volunteer troops to quit the army if
teh treaty was signed without reser-
vations.
Minister of Defense Noske prefer
red his resignation, but later succeed
ed in appeasing the officers. Fle then
withdrew his resignation under pres
sure from his party and cabinet
ministers.
Correspondents at Weimar are
unanimous in the belief that the pres
tige of Matthias Erzberger has been
damaged because of his mysterious
but emphatic assurances that the En-
tente will be willing to yield on the
honor of an issue which has failed
to materialize. Erzbergers position
is the subject of much speculation and
it is believed that as soon as the
peace crisis is passed, he will face a
rather trying period.

Farm Demonstration Agent J. M

month of July at any school house in

sent farming as it is done by the real

for the farmer even the good one, to
learn something by seeing the farm

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-R)-Speak- ing at dinner here this evening Chas Schwab chairman of the board of directors of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, confirmed his previous stand regarding the recognition of union labor's right to collective bar gaining.

The mill now being used gives satisfac- tion but it's capacity is limited and the rapid increase in the local wheat yield makes it necessary that more efficient one be secured in the near future. The question of securing a rural telephone service for farmers in this vicinity was also discussed and the idea of such service was re- ceived with favor. The praticability of purchasing a community baler and thresher to handle the ever increas- ing crops in this district was en- dorsed by several speakers. M. D. Snodgrass presented partial report on the farming industry of the past season but he has been unable to compile full set of statistics as many of the growers have not yet turned in their reports. Following the end of the business session the farmers and their guests enjoyed a pleasant social session at which a most delightful informal luncheon was served. All those present, both members and visitors report the evening to have been the greatest of successes.
