GERMANYS SECRET
ARM|NG CONFIRMED
Allies May Delay Evacuation
of Cologne as Result of
Experts Report.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS. December 22-The chances
OF the Cologne area being evacuated
by the allies on January 10. under
the provisions of the treaty of Yer
sales, have been diminished 1t is
thought in French official circles. by
the regular semi monthly report of
the allied military control mission
In Germany.
This report, which now Is in the
hands of the allied war committee,
is understood to confirm the special
reports In their charge that Germany
was persisting in arming, contrary
TO the peace treaty provisions.
The pressure being brought 70 bear
by the German government through
Ambassador Won Hoesch will be un-
availing. it is thought here, in the
face of the reported positive viola
tlons of Germanys agreements to
disarm.
Envoy Gives Warning.
The Ambassador declared to the
political director of the foreign Of
hce, NJ. Laroche, on Saturday that
If the allies persisted in their inten-
tion of remaining in the Cologne
area, as forecast, it would be difficult
to form a government in Germany
out the Dawes plan.
The political director is understood
to have replied that If the intention of
Germany to make good it's agreement
under the Dawes plan was so frail as
to risk breaking under the simple ex-
ercise by the allies of the undoubted
right conferred by the treaty of Yer
sailles to insist on the fulfillment of
the disarmament clauses of that treaty,
then any concessions the allies might
make would risk encountering a SINH
lar reaction in the future.
M. Laroche added that the eyacua-
tion question was an allied one, in
which all the allies must have a voice
and that It could be decided only after
consultation.
1t is understood that exchanges of
views are actively in progress by the
chancelleries in Paris, London and
Rome in anticipation of Wednesdays
meeting of the council of ambassadors
The final report of the military
control mission will come too late
for action prior to the date fixed by
the treaty for the evacuation, but 1T
is believed in official circles here that
the semi-monthly report gives a suf-
ficiently clear idea of Germany's at
titude to enable the allies to decide
whether they can safely leave the
Cologne bridgehead
Marshal Foch's opinion will have
great weight with the allies, it is
conceded, and there is an inclination
in some quarters to look for an opin-
ion less favorable to Germany from
him than the nature of the control
missions report might forecast, al
though it is not thought the marshal
will seek to minimize the Importance
of the Versailles treaty violations
which are recorded by the report.
1t is taken as an accepted policy
that the allies viii in no case evac-
uate the Cologne bridgehead without
having previously taken final action
on the control missions report
which, If not ready for Wednesday,
meeting of the ambassadors, proba-
bly, will go over the holidays.

''It Is surprising to me how few
persons ask the bureau for special
forecasts OF course, 1T means
more work for us when they do,
but we are glad to aid them"
Mr.. Mitchell is not particularly
desirous that everybody in Wash
ington call him up every morning
to find out whether they should
wear their rubbers or put on their
extra-heavies, but he is perfectly
ready and willing to take the time
to give the latest advice to per-

FIREMEN MAY OBTAIN
DAYS OFF In JANUARY
Chief Watson Hopes to Make New
Schedule Effective Early
in Year.

Here is a bit of news that should
cheer the families of Washington
firemen for Christmas. Fire Chief
Watson expressed hope that he would
abe able to estab ablish the one-day- off
a-week system early in January.
The day off for both policemen and
firemen was authorized by Congress
last Summer. but it could not be made
effective without an increased per
sonnel in both departments. The ad-
ditional men were not provided for
until the deficiency bill passed a few
weeks ago, and Maj. Sullivan and
Chief Watson are now making every
effort to obtain the needed men as
rapidly as possible.
The Fire Department probably will
have it's roster complete before the
Police Department. because the num-
ber of new policemen required is
greater.

U. S. MISSION TO QUIT

LONDON. December 22-That Ar
thur c. Millspaugh and his colleagues

Persia will leave when the term of
their contract expires next year Is
the general belief in Teheran. ac-
cording to mail advices from the
Morning Posts correspondent.
The writer recalls that Mr. Mills
paugh has twice resigned during the
last few months, but has withdrawn
MS resignation on each occasion. He
represents the mission as confronted
with virtually unsolvable problem,
partly owing to what he describes as
the missions Ignorance of conditions
in Persia.
The delegates have succeeded. ac-
cording to the correspondent, in es-
tablishing control in virtually all the
departments of the government ex-
cept the war Office, which draws
about 46 per cent of the country's
revenues and which refuses to have
its affairs controlled
Mr.. Millspaugh proposed certain
new taxes, but part of the schedule
was vetoed and the remainder is
doomed to the same fate. The rul-
ing class in Persia, the writer says,
is tremendously annoyed by the
Americans activities, especially their
taxation proposals, which have con-
tributed to make the mission as un-
popular today as it was popular two
years ago.

ENGLAND ATTACKS
j. S.-BERL|N PACT
Right to Share German Pay
mentS Outside Versailles
Treaty Challenged.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The first real penalty" that the
United States Government has been
called upon to pay for the controversy
in the American Senate over the
League of Nations Immediately fol-
lowing the war in threatened al last
For the British government has
refused to recognize the separate
treaty of peace between Germany and
the United States as having the valid
ity claimed for it by senatorial pro-
ponents and even the Department of
State. And the Washington admins
tration has a lively controversy on its
hands which may extend to France
and the other allied powers.
The point in question was raised
when the late President Harding,
through Secretary of State Hughes,
submitted a separate treaty to the
Senate as a consequence of the Joint
resolution swhfcn ~ pa assaa- .Conersss
declaring a state of peace. In that
treaty. the United States claimed
all the rights which 1t would have
enjoyed under the Versailles treaty,
but renounced the principal obIiga.
tions of the latter, including tho
League of Nations covenant, which
was a part of the treaty.
Had Alternative Course.
The altern ative course was to
ratify the Versailles treaty with
reservations specifically disciaiming
responsibility for the league cove
nant and other provisions especi-
ally the economic clauses having to
do with the claiming of reparations.
Mr.. Hughes might have submitted the
Versailles treaty with reservations. but
President Harding thought the "irrecon-
cilables' in the Senate would block ac-
ton. For the sake of expediency the
separate treaty was made. Not long aft
erward France indicated unofficially
that she questioned the validity of the
Berlin treaty, and yet nothing was said
publicly about it Great Britain and the
other allies were silent, because the issue
was never put before them
The American Government took the
position that 1t was not necessary to
get allied consent or agreement to the
Berlin treaty. since it was a separate
document and had nothing to do with the
allies as such. Germany m the Berlin
treaty gave the United States the same
DEMENT'S which she conferred on the al
lied powers in the Versailles treaty.
Having secured Germany's ratification,
the United States did not worry further
about 1T.
Say U. S. Left Partnership.
Now, however, the expected argu-
ment has been made, namely, that the
contract between Germany and the
allied and associated powers for the
division of reparations was an agree
ment between the Berlin government
on the one hand and a partnership of
nations on the other. Germany as
signed her assets to the partnership.

visible, or, at least, indivisible with

BERLIN, December 22.-Another
semi-official statement with regard to
the extent of Germany's disarmament
issued today, replies to certain asser-
tions of the Paris Temps, which re-
Gently declared the allied governments
were in possession of documents prov
ing that Germany had not given salts

laid down by the ambassadors confer

The semi-offlcial statement reiterates
that during the past four months the
military control commission has had
full opportunity for ascertaining that
Germany has fulfilled her disarma
ment obligations in every field" and
that the organization of the German
army corresponds with the directions
of the allies, even to the smallest de-
tail"
Regarding the FIVE points, 1t is de-
clared a considerable portion of the
demands comprised in them already
have been fulfilled, while negotiations
are pending regarding the others.
The amba assadors' note on Germany's S
disarmament was forwarded March 5
last 1t set forth five points regarding
disarmament on which Germany was
required to give satisfaction. These
were: Reorganization of the police
force; war material factories to be
Transformed: the remainder of nom
authorized war material to be handed
over; all documents relating to war
material existing at the time of the
armistice also to be handed over, and
the PRONUNCIATION of new laws pro-
hibiting the import and export of war
material and putting the organization
and recruiting of the army into har-
mony with the terms of the treaty of
