Ultimatum Sent German Envoys in Paris Note
In Paris on December 10, the Supreme Council of the peace conference issued notes to Baron von Leisner outlining German demands re the treaty. The first note rejects modification of surrender of wartime crime clauses and prisoner returns, favors equity on indemnities for Scapa Flow ship losses, and warns of military action if delays persist. The second note assigns blame for the Scapa Flow incident to Germany, framing the protest as an attempt to stall ratification.
