Many great powers

No country has been longer and more

Switzerland Is the oldest modern
democracy. No slur of autocratic or re
actionary rule can possibly lie cast upon
the .freely elected go eminent of the

therefore worth studjing by all demo

other democratic countries, are fully

TO SIGN PROTOCOL;
Tl
Allies' Supremo Council Agrees
Unanimously on Drastic
Note to Berlin
REFUSAL WILL BRING
MILITARY MEASURES
France Firm Against Delay and
Enemy Faction Also
Urges Speed
By tho Associated Press
Paris, Dec. (1 In n note drafted by
the Supreme Council today it is de
manded thnt Germany feign the protocol
profiling for the carrying out of the
pence fcrms.
In ease of refusal, the Allies, it is
set forth, will be obliged to have re
course to military measures. The text
of the note was adopted unanimously.
Premier Clcmentcau presided over the
session.
The newspaper Excelsior says it has
reliable Information thnt Washington
has ndiised Berlin to adopt a more
concilltory attitude.
The utmost secrecy is being observed
legardlng the terms of the note, which
was unanimoush adopted by council
this morning, but it can bo said that
it is worded so firmly that conference
circles expect the discussion with Ger
main regarding the putting of the
trcntv into force will be finally closed.
The note recalls that mnking the
treat cffectUe. means the immediate
release of the German prisoners. It
leaes the replj to the German repre
sentations regarding the claims for the
sinking of the German fleet nt Scapa
Flow to bo dealt with in n further
special note.
The note closes by d'rctlng Gcr
'na'ij to mgn the urmlsticc protocol,
failing which action the council de
clares it will be constrained to adopt
measures of coercion of a militarv
order.
Ipect Germany to Yield
Owing to the important c of the note
Paul Dutnsta, the general secretarv of
the Pence Conference, will personalb
hand the note to Baron on Lcrsner,
the head of the German mission.
Some speculation Is being indulged in
ns to whether the American forces in
the occupied region would join in the
5 Lng nutJfjpUUnrytneafuircshould
Germany refuse to sign the protocol.
It is learned, however, that thiR eiues
tion has not been r'aised by the Allies,
who assume that as the armistice is still
In force the Americans would take part
in anj forward movement, with the
British on one sjde and the French on
the other.
Notwithstanding the discussion of
preparations for the military event
unlit, the impiesMon among the Pence
Conference delegates Is that German
will sign the protocol.
The view is taken that the German
Government, having been wniting for nn
ultimatum before jielding, will accept
the situation now thnt the ultimatum
has been presented and will sign the
protocol under duress.
No Big Army, Sjs German
Baron von Lersner's latest communi
cation, which was received by Premier
Clemeucenu Thursdii, declared the Al
lies were misinformed regarding their
complaint that Genunnv was exceeding
tho, limit of military forces permitted
her under the treat. .
Von Lersner declared that the Ger
man Government had necr sought to
conceal the fact that the creation of
detective police forces and civic guards
would be neeesunry nnu mat tne tier
man Government wns prepared to sub
mit proofs to General Nollct, head of
thn Entente commission of control in
Berlin, that these organizations were
permissible under thtt treat .
The text of Premier Clemencenu s
note to Von Lcrsner concerning the
excessive German armnment complnlned
of, which was made public today,
shows that Germany was charged, In
addition to the formation of the Reich -wehr
(imperial defense troops), with
organizing the Sieherhcltpoltzel (secur
ity police) nnd the Zeitfrelwillige
(emergency volunteers), which are de
clared to be virtu illy military forces.
It summons Germany to reduce her
forces strictl to the limits ot tne
treaty.
London, Dec. 0. (By A. P.) A

Berlin says the newspnpeis in Berlin
hae be,en authoritatively Informed that
the German authorities know nothing
whatever f reported impending forcible

ing of the protocol, nnd new notes in
