SECRETS ALLOWED HUNS Punishment for Criminal Acts in liquidation of Property Provided; Indemnity Refund Permitted.' PARIS.- June II. (By the Associated Press.) A protocol to be added to th peace treaty, explanatory of the six points raised by the Germans, reads - "Firstly, a commission will be named by the allied and associated erovern ments to supervise the demolition of , the fortifications of Heligoland in con formtty with the treaty. This commit ion will be empowered to decide wha part of the constructions protectin the coast from erosion should be pre served and what part demolished. "Secondly, the sums which German will have to refund to Its citizens to Indemnify them for Interests they ma be found to have la the railroads and mines referred to In paragraph 1. ar tide 15s, shall be placed to the Credi or Germany on account of the sums due (or reparation." Dlnlgrsre ef Secrets Bsr& (The protocol refers to German prlr- ate Interests in railroads and mines in fehantnnr as distinct from German state interests.) "Thirdly, a list of the persons whom, accord in if to article 228, paragraph Germany must surrender to the powers will be sent to the German aovernmen daring- the month following the putting Into force of the treaty. "fourthly, the commission on repara I Ion a, provided for by article 249 and paragraphs i, 1 and 4 of annex four. cannot exact dlvulgence of secrets manufacture or confidential Inlorma tion. Proteettea Premised H "Fifthly, from the signature of peace and the four months following. Ger many will have an opportunity of pre sentlnsT for the examination of the powers documents and propositions. with a view to hastening the work re latins; to reparations, thus shortening the Investigation and hastening de cisions. "Sixthly, prosecutions will be r ised against those committing crim inal acts In connection with the liqul datloa of German property and the powers will receive any Information and proofs that the German govern ment shall be In a position to supply on this subjeot. CsatradletlM Is Denied. Til the reply on the six other points raised, the most Interesting question dealt with concerns Germany's admis sion to the leamie of nations. The re ply denied the German declaration that the term of the peace treaty with re gard to the league are contradictory. It Mrs the covenant of the league declares that members of the league hall take the necessary steps to assure and guarantee the maintenance of lib erty of communication and transit, and also equitable commercial treatment of all members. "Germany when admitted to the so ciety, the reply says, "will share In the benefits of these stipulations with other countries. Nevertheless, during the period of transition following peace It la necessary to take Into ac count the special conditions which are laid down on page 43 of the memo randum. The obligations Imposed on Germany are therein shown to have the character of reparation measure and their maintenance for five veers, far from being Incompatible with the prin ciple of equitable treatment, have a their object to assure Che application f that principle."

Germany cOuld not agree to surrender for trial by the allies of the unnamed military and political leaders, nor would Germany subscribe to sole guilt for the war. For a time on Friday morning It ap peared that the balk of the majority socialists and clericals would agree on a common formula for conditional sign ing and the two parties together form a new government without the partici pation of the democrat on this con ditional basis, subject to the mental reservation that if the allies refused their conditional signature, they would end by signing the treaty uncondi tionally, but under rhetorical protest. But during Friday's proceedings both the centrists and the majority social ists lost their nerve it-hen they figured out how small their majority would be In the public showdown in the national assembly. Both parties accordingly shrank from shouldering the responsi bility for signing. They tried all dur ing the day to lure the liberals back into the old government combination and to re-establish the former large coalition majority in the national as sembly, but the liberal refused to come in again, except on the basis of their six points. Saturday morning it appeared that the liberals, clericals and majority so cialists would agree on a formula' for signing conditionally. These condi tions Involved four principal points a plebiscite In West Prussia, Immediate admittance Into the. league of nations, no subscription to sole guilt for the war, and no surrender of the former kaiser and the unnamed military and political leaders, but with the promise to place these latter on trial before a German tribunal.

FALL OF GERMANY IS SAD fCoetlaued Trtn First Pa-o of th masses this majority had dis integrated Into nothing mors than a powerful and fighting minority, a solu tion appeared In the forcing of the Scbeldemann government to resign. This plan was knocksd out unex pectedly when a second straw vote showed that the small majority of the national assembly againat the plan of not signing at all waa by no means solidly la favor of unconditional sign ing. Liberals Take Definite !. With this situation, the liberals were the first to regain their self control. With one dissenting vote the party ballot showed itself to be solidly against unconditional signing. So the liberals thereupon formulated six con dittens under which they would be willing to algn the Versailles treaty, subject to allied approval. But these conditions practically amounted to not signing at all. for they involved reconsideration by the allies of me six principal points in the peace treaty. The vote, therefore, waa tantamount to renewing and con tinuing the negotiation Indefinitely. The Catholie centrists were next to regain their equilibrium and to try to patch up th wide split In th caueua. Trne to their poncy of seeking the mlddls line, th centrists succeeded In uniting most of their members in the national assembly on a compromise formula for signing conditionally, th principal condition, inspired by the crafty Ma lb I a Ersberger, being that IRS.

Germany acquired a I new cabinet only after nearlv a week of literal sweating in biasing Weimar I weatner. The signing of the peace terms naturally waa the onlv anestlon around which the cabinet construction hinged and th government, which went on record as considering ths terms unacceptable, found a surprising I roiiowing Behind it. The first party ballots, however. I seemed to make ths signing of the treaty inevitable, for the powerful ma jority socialist party voted two-thirds for ending the suspense. With the in dependents supporting them, the con-I servatives as a party behind them, and ths centrists on th fence, the result appeared a foregone conclusion. But the conservatives suddenly swung 1 around and declared for non-signature; tne centrists wavered and Imposed con- to I anions and th democrat temporarily naiked any hope of a majority by stub bornly persisting against the extradi tion by the entente of the former em peror and other German notables. Democrats Refuse to Bndge. This waa the stumbling-block, for I the democrats could not be budged from the attitude which they held through the belief that a revolution would break out In protest by the peo ple should Von HIndenburg. Ludendorff and other Idols b humiliated. count Von Bernstorff played a I prominent part in the proceeding, not only as president of the German peace committee, but according to persistent rumors, as the possible successor of Count ron Brockdorff-Rantzau. for there was a powerful group that want ed him to suffer the poetib Justice of I signing tne terms, after he had helped to Bring the United States into the war. Von Bernstorff. however, resisted nd after having been appointed In the I morning to the cabinet, refused to ac cept the appointment or have anything to do with the matter. Opponents Weaken Later. Later In the day th cantrlsc drop-1 ped their demand for modification of the term and expressed their willing- I ness to sign. Tne democrats also weakened to such an extent that IS of their S members in the assembly I went over to the side in favor of the signature. The first ministry headed ty Hen- Bauer lasted exactly one hour. It crashed on the stubbornness of the democrats and Von Bernstorfrs flat refusal to head the ministry of foreign I atiairs. . Dr. Dernburg, who had been named as minister of finance, declared he could not co-operate. The democrats then reduced their demands to one point on which they were adamant, namely, that the former German em peror. Von HIndenburg and Ludendorff must not be delivered to the entente I for trial. Bauer Cabinet Rebuilt. Eventually the Bauer cabinet was reconstructed, with Dr. Herman Muel ler, the majority socialist leader. minister of foreign affairs, and Mathias Ersberger as minister of finance and vice-premier.
