BARON VON LERSNER TELLS
BODY OF GERMAN DECISION
BY Associated PrcSs

Paris Dec Germany has decided sign the protocol
to her by the Allies condition for putting the Peace
Treaty into effect the Peace Conference has been notified
1t learned only to-day that Baron Kurt Won Lersne
head of the German delegation here called Secretary Duasta
OF the conference Monday and told him that Germany had
made such decision
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-12-03

This attitude is taken as confirm
ing the reports of sharp reaction
in Germany within the last fort
night Trained observers of German
developments have expressed to
members of the Peace Conference
the view that there has been a COM
piete transformation of the situation
in Germany, brought about, in their
opinion. by the failure of the United
States Senate to ratify the Peace
Treaty.
These observers declare that,
while the vast majority of the Ger
mans, before the Senate's adjourn
ment, desired the Peace Treaty rati-
fled as soon as possible, they are
now supporting the governments
attitude in resisting the demands of
the Allies for Indemnity for the
sinking of the German fleet at Scapa
Flow, recompense for which was
provided for in the protocol.
The question upon which the
German representatives here, how
ever, appear most sensitive is the
insistence upon the trial OF German
officers accused of the commission
OF crimes IN France and Belgium.
Thus far, it is stated, no indica-
tions have reached Paris OF any dis
position of the Germans TO modify
their attitude.

THE STORY OF THE.LEAD PENCIL

favor exceptionally the growth Of
the industry In the years to come.
According to the latest available
figures, there were fourteen pencil
factories In this country. having q
total capital Of $10,sss,721 and pro-
ducing an annual output valued at
$13,092.S3S. Tie number Of factories
has increased only six since 1850, but
the capital invested then was only
$4,000 and the value of the produce
tion about $4,000. In 1914 the value
of pencils and pencil leads imported
into the United States was $642,ssS.
The total annual wages of officials,
clerks and factory hands of Ameri-
can pencil factories amounts. to $2,-
6s4,2s6.
Some idea Of the tremendous mag
nitude of the pencil industry of Amer
lea can be obtained when 1t is real
ICED that the largest factory alone
turns out more than 100000 PEN
ellis every year. They are of more
than TOO different kinds. grades,
shapes, sizes and colors. II the PEN
ellis from this factory were placed in

the Stats into many pieces, each piece

make 1t possible to rectify human
errors they have to place a rubber
