"I can not speak for the whole gov ernment because it has not yet come to a decision," said Noske "but I shall recommend a refusal to sign the peace treaty protocol. Says Limit has Come "The limit has long been reached. Let the Allies occupy the country if they like. The peace now presented 'o us is not peace but a prolongation of the war. - "Were such a treaty accepted the German nation would rise up and avenge itself upon the men who signed it, and it would be right. Great Brit ain and France are deliberately plan ning the destruction of Germany. All the confidence I ever had in the pledges of the Allies is gone forever. "Deceit and Trickery." "By deceit and trickery the British and French governments are working up opinion in their countries to crip ple Germany still further beyond the crushing effect of the first treaty. We have yielded too often and now must resist. Let the Allies do what they please." Asked whether he would resign if the remainder of the government de cided to accept the Allied terms. Noske replied that he could not say what he would do a week hence, but that his present position had been deliberately adopted and was unalterable. Agree With Cabinet.

The two straws which Noske rep resents as having broken theoback if German endurance, says thecorrespoi, dent, are the demand for dock and har bor material and the protocol ens. powering the allies to enforce execu tion of the peace treaty. The correspondent says that during his talk with Noske he suggested -that if the Germans had not sunk the war ships in the Scapa Flow, the demand of the Allies for tugs and docks would not have been made: To this he says Noske replied: Invented Some Pretext. "Oh, yes, they would. The British would have invented some pretext. Great Britain is out to cripple Ger many and demands our -last dredges and cranes so as to prevent the rev Al o four mercantile marine." Noske, repudiated the German gov ernment's responsibility for the sink ing of the warships in Scapa Flow and accused the British government of publishing misleading an:l faked ex tracts of the letter of Rear Admiral Adolph Von Trotha, chi'f of the Ger man admiralty.
