icals using the second class mail privilege,
in order to conserve news print paper,
were commended and opposed By more
than a score of newspaper and magazine

favorable action on his bill.
The present acute paper shortage, he
said. is due TO the large size of the big
city dailies and some magazines. The
larger newspapers, he added. could elm
mate fifty or more pages of feature, com
ic and magazine matter published in
Sunday editions, without loss to the

OF the most sensational of the % speci-

the order. he had thrown the butt to

GERMANY ASKS
PAYABLE FORM
IN PREPARATION
Offers to Meet Allies
Scapa Flow Demands
in That Event.

Paris, Dec. 15.--(By The Associated
Press. The German note in reply to
the entente. delivered to Paul Dutasta.
secretary of the peace conference says
The German government desires TO
dissipate the misunderstanding that, ow-
ing to the momentary absence of Amer
ican delegates from the commissions pro-
vided for by the treaty. Germany claimed
modification and dispositions Of the
treaty concerning the extradition of per
sons charged with culpability in acts
contrary TO military laws, or the re
patration Of prisoners.
Prefers Expert Solution.
The German government previous to
receiving the allies note had already
explained the reason why it would ap-
pear necessary to modify the conditions
Tor the execution Of those clauses, bur
the German government never made its
assent for the putting into force of the
peace treaty conditional upon Il previ-
ous solution Of that question
The German government maintains
its opinion that the best means to reach
a solution Of the Scapa Flow incident
would have been to submit the ease to
international arbitration ct the Hague.
such measure would not have DELAYED
putting the treaty into force, or the sign
ing Of the protocol thus modified
'Desirous. however, of doing its Mt
most for the early re-establishment of
peace, the German government de-
riares itself ready to make rcparations
.or the damages caused to the allied and
associated governments by the destruc-
ion of the ships.
viii Submit Reasons
But the German government is IN
ible to effect such reparations in the
manner demanded by the protocol Of No
,ember /, because the execution Of the
demands formulated in that protocol
would compromise irretrievably Ger
nany's economic life and also render
impossible Of execution the other enor-
nous obligations which the treaty i'm
,oses on Germany.
The German government will formu-
ate, through experts, positively detail |
d propositions, showing mode Of re-
aration, which although adding new
nd heavy burden on Germany in its |
resent situation, are not altogether in |
