TO FORCE
PEACE TERMS ON
GERMANY, RUMOR
Essen and Frankfort Will Be
Occupied Unless Protocol
Is Signed.

London, Dec. 5.-There was a per
slstent rumor in the stock exchange
this morning that the supreme coun-
Gil of the peace conference had
threatened Germany that unless the
final peace terms we're agreed to, al
lied troops would occupy Essen and
Frankfort. Up to this time the mar
ket has not been affected by the re-
port.
Official announcement that Field
Marshal Wilson has gone to Paris
in response to "an urgent summons
to consult Marshal Foch in connec-
ton with the peace treaty" is re-
garded by some morning newspa
pers as of considerable significance.
1t is printed alongside the address
made in Glasgow last evening by
Andrew Bonar Law. in which he
said he believed the allies had the
power, and if necessary will exer-
else it to insure ratification of the
Versailles treaty by Germany. 1t
is, suggested that steps to exert pres
sure on Germany may be imminent.
There has been enough solemn
finger wagging at the Germans. who
have come to believe it safe to defy
the allies" says the Daily Mail, in
commenting on the situation "a
wise and merciful course would be
to tell them plainly that if within a
fixed time they do not comply with
the allied conditions and fulfill the
treaty terms, the blockade will be
renewed"
The plan of action against Ger
many drafted by Marshal Foeh last
June, me .ioned in the dispatches,
was ready for putting into effect in
case the Germans had finally de-
clined to sign the Versailles peace
treat +. contemplated a rapid ad-
vance into Germany from the occu-
pied zone by the British, American
and Free, armies. A drive of from
40 to 90 miles in depth all along
the allied lines was contemplated.
Cavalry W, t. have been employed,
together with armored cars, TO p
tect the infantry who were to have
been rushed forward in motor
trucks in dash that would, it was
predicted, have broken all records
for a rapid military advance.

Mexico City, Dec. s.-W. o.
Jenkins attempted to secure his re-
imprisonment today. Judicial
authorities at Puebla refused to al
I low the consular agent to re-enter
the prison.
Mr.. Jenkins is quoted as declar-
ing that bail was furnished by his
friend ]. Walter Hansen, with
out his knowledge, and that he re-

Washington, Dec. 5.-William O.
jenkins, the American consular
agent, imprisoned at Puebla, Mex
leo, was released Thursday night.
The American embassy n Mexico
City reported his release in dis
patch received by the State depart
ment this afternoon and almost at
the same time news dispatches were
received from Mexico City which
said check for $500 had been de-
posted with the civil authorities at
Puebla.
This difference in the two reports
seemed to raise some doubt as to
whether Jenkins was released un-
conditionally on the diplomatic rep
resentation of the United States
government or whether he had been
released on bail as the Mexican au-
thorities contended he could.
The State department., however,
took the view that Jenkins had been
released on its diplomatic represen-
tations, and issued this statement:
"The release of William 0. Jen-
kins, the American consular agent
at Puebla, Mex, was reported late
this afternoon from the American
embassy at Mexico City"

The secretary of state announced
that a dispatch from the embassy

Washington, Dec. 5.-The general
coal situation was discussed today at
a meeting of the presidents cabinet,
but there was no intimation of what
new step was contemplated by the
government to meet growing ap-
peals from various sections of the
country for enough fuel to keep the
big industries in operation.
Director General Hines and Fuel
Administrator Garfield, summoned
here from his home in Massa-
chusetts, to take up sore Nof the
problems developing in the last few
days, told the cabinet what had been
done. DR.. Garfield later conferred
with Department of Justice officials
and the executive committee of the
bituminous coal operators of the
United States, members of which
had been kept here to watch the
situation. The fuel administrator
indicated that coal production was
increasing over last week.
No Compromise.
The operators committee issued
a statement characterizing as wi
cious and misleading" published re-
ports to the effect that they were
considering proposals to compro-
mise with striking mine workers by
paying more than Ia per cent in
ereases suggested by Dr.. Garfield
and increasing the price of COAL
There will be no compromise IN the
demands they said.
In connection with the action of
the federal court at Indianapolis,
ordering grand jury to investigate
their actions with a view to bringA
ing indictments under the Lever act,
the operators sent a telegram to,
District Attorney Sims at INDIAN

they will be given opportunity?"
Meanwhile there was unques-
toned optimism among The oper-
ators and fuel administration work
ers who have volunteered to aid in
the emergency. Coal production has
remained on the upward grade for
