Approximately nau witnesses were cx
niined. A hugo amount of documentary
evidence was presented, "exhibits , to
talling nearlv 1000.
The charge against Cook and his ast
sociates was wised mainly on promotion
of the Petroleum Producers' association

Paris. Nov. 121. The conference of
nmlMissadors reached an agreement late
this afternoon on the proposed note to
Germany demanding re-imposition of al
lied control oi lieruiau military prepara
tions. , ""
The note was believed to be a reply
to the German insistence that re-lm-
position w, control or her military
strength by an allied mission should be
delayed because under the present un
stable conditions she could not guaran
tee tjie safety of allied officers in the
mission. ;
It was believed to be a warning to
Germany that she must undertake re
sponsibility for the lives of such a mis
sion because It was provided for in the
treaty of Versailles. The note was said
to recognise Germany a plea, however,
to the extent of allowing the officers to
begin their work in the quiet parts of
the country nnl gradually spreuu tneir
control ns conditions settled.
The agreement meant the ' Anglo
French entente, nt least outwardly, had
survived auother crisis.
It was reached when some ot the al
ternative suggestions made by Great
llritiim for the terms oi llie note were
found acceptable to Jules lainbon, rep
resenting Premier Poincare at the con
ference. The Instructions to tho British am
bassador arrived from lxindou shortly
after noon nnd the conference, after hav
ing been postponed twice for luck of
them, was convoked for 5 p. m.
Regarding the former crown prince the
note as agreed upon by the ambassa
dors' conference declared the allied pow
ers would hold Germany responsible for
the consequences for his return to Ger
many. The section denling, with re-imposition
of military control said tho allied control
coinmiKsioli would resume its work im
mediately mid Germuny must safeguard
the allied officers.
Strolls: measures were threatened, it
wns learned, if Germany obstructed the
work of the mission.
