The resolution in favor of signing
the treaty carried no reservations,
but some of the delegates voting
"yes" afterward declared they under
stood the resolution meant that the
cabinet was empowered by the reso-
luton to make it's acceptance of the
treaty conditional. The opponents of
the treaty declared the trainers of
all conditions and stipulations in or

pendent socialists, who probably
would have refused to sign any reso-
luton that did not declare for sig
nature without condition.
Premier Bauer read to the assem-
bly, copy of the note sent to the
allies, protesting against the treaty
clauses placing responsibility for the
war on Germany and calling for the
punishment of the former kaiser,
THE government of Germany,
through its representatives, is ready

The Weimar dispatch carrying Of
fetal announcement that Germany
would sign the peace treaty was filed
in Weimar at 4:08 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. Apparently it referred to
the decision Of the German govern
ment to sign the treaty with the reser-
vations Of which it gave notice to the
allied powers, and which the latter
rejected. Paris advices this morning
show the Germans made an appeal
for an additional forty eight hours to
make known their decision regarding
the signing of the treaty without
reservations. 1t would thus appear
Germany has not yet officially noti-
fed the peace conference she would
sign the treaty and accept all its
terms.

ernment at Weimar has formally
communicated its willingness to sign
the peace terms Internationally, it

S.)-The big four has just refused a
request from the German govern
ment for forty eight hour eXten-
sion of the ultimatum, expiring to-
night.
The new German request arrived
shortly before o'clock this morn

moned to Lloyd Georges house and
went into conference as soon as all
had arrived.
: Discussion of the request for de-
lay lasted about one hour and eight
minutes.
In the notes received from the
German government last night, and
to which the allies Immediately dis
patched negative replies, the Ger
man government engages to fulfill
the conditions of peace" but adds:
1t (the German republic) desires,
however, in this solemn moment to
express itself with unreserved clear
ness in order to meet in advance any
accusation OF untruthfulness that
may now or later be made against
Germany. The conditions imposed
exceed the measure of that which
Germany can in fact perform. The
of the German republic,
therefore, feels itself bound to an
nounce that it makes all reservations
and declines all responsibility as re-
CARDS the consequences which may
be threatened against Germany.

tions comes to light, even though

LIQUIDATION WAS CAUSE OF DECIDED SETBACK IN GRAIN Both Corn and Oats Made Losses, While the PrOvi-
 sions List Was Up
 and Down
By Associated Prtsa

Chicago, September 12.-Although at first the corn market had an upward slant today, buying power soon became exhausted and liquidation on the part of discouraged holders brought about a decided setback, especially in the Sep tember delivery. Prices closed weak, 2ssq9I4c net lower with September $1. AZ QC1 .45, and December $1 .22$I1. B. Oats lost ss@11sc. The finish in provisions ranged from s1.05 decline to a rise of 90c
 Temporary appearances of strength in the corn market ruled chiefly from high CT prices paid for hogs here. Spectators however did most of the buying of hogs at the advance, packers refusing to fol- low. Under such circumstances demand for corn was soon restricted to shorts. who were in position to collect profits, For the remainder of the day bearish sentiment was virtually unchecked ow- ing in the main to disturbed economic and industrial conditions. On the ensuing breaks. December. the principal trading month. showed a decline of soc a bushel since July 29. Oats descended with corn. Export call was lacking.
 All provisions were lifted by the ad- vance of hogs, but pork and ribs dropped later when grain turned weak. Lard held firm on account of belief that lard would be the first commodity bought here for Germany.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, September 12.-Advances were made by cotton in the early trad ing today as the result of the movement of the hurricane in the gulf, which the trade accepted as threatening A to the western sections of the cotton region but later the view became quite gen. eral that the disturbance might swing far enough to the west. and possibly the south, following the line of the gulf coast to no longer be menace to the belt and reaction resulted. The early rise carried prices 42 to 53 points higher than the close of yesterday and the re- action caused all of the gains to disap- pear and put prices 10 to IS points under the finals of yesterday, the close being at the bottom.
 The advancing tendency in the morn- ing was aided by private bureau reports on condition for the half month of oo.e per cent of the normal, showing deter ioration of 59 points. and in the after noon the market was steadier at the de- cline by calims of a better spot de- mand with the interior, in both the east ern and the western belts. Some selling resulted, late in the day, from the poor showing of mill takings, 56,Ooo bales for the week against 154,o00 bales for the week against 134,00o this week last year and 1S5.000 this week two years ago.
