ARE "CANNED" KICKS (.eniKiii I'rntcsls Written Before the Treaty Received, Allies Bclicc (Lv the Assin-inted Press. T'aris, May 1 . The conviction is growing in allied circles that most of the (Jcrman protests against the oeace treaty so far received were written before the reading: of the treaty and are designed as propaganda. This conviction is stcnghtened by the fact that the text of the treaty is not quoted and that the protests have been published in Berlin before they were received in I'aris. The ' conference, however, is referring all protests to commissions. which will consider them on their merits. ELECT A LAYMAN Presbyterians Take Vn precedent cd Action In Choice of Moderator.
