GERMANS ACCEPT
ALLIED PROTOCOL
SIGNATURES Were Affixed to
Document After a Four
Hour Session.

Spa.-The German representatives
signed the coal protocol drawn up by
the allied representative at o:42
O'Clock Friday, thereby settling one OF
the most difficult questions which mas
come up in the present discussions.
SIGNATURES were affixed to the docu-
ment after a four-hOur session at the
Villa Fraineuse. one hour OF which was
spent by the Germans in cabinet con-
sultation in an adjoining room.
There was a conflict over lntroduc-
ton in the protocol of the menace OF
occupation Of additional German terri
tory after October IS next if German
coal deliveries were not up TO the
stipulated quantity-6,0 100000 tons-py
that date. The allies decided to drop
this clause of the protocol below the
signature line.
The Germans objected to the pre-
amble, which declared that the de-
cisions in the document had been tax
en- in common accord by the allied
and German delegations. The Ger
mans contended it was not by COM
mon accord, but by sole will of the
allies that any further occupation
would occur. At this juncture Dr.
Fehrenbach, the German chancellor,
called a cabinet meeting. An hour
elapsed before Chancellor Fehrenbacn
and Foreign Minister Simons appeared
