CONCESSIONS ON SOME POINTS OF TREATY OF PEACE Slight Notifications Made In Terms of Sarre Valley
 Award. CHINA'S DELEGATES
 WILLING TO SIGN Terms Regarding Repara tions Also Changed in
 Some Degree.
(Rv Inc Associated Press.(

Concessions or some points in the peace treaty have been made 10 the Germans by the Paris Peace Confer- ence- Slight notifications have been made in the terms Of the Sarre val ley award and the terms regarding separations, as they stood in thes or fgfnal text of the peace treaty also have been modified in some degree.
 The fact that the Council of Four had decided to make these n1odidca- tions was reported in g despatch from Paris late last night. The message. however, did not indicate just what were the alterations decided upon. These are expected to be developed in part with the handing to the Ger mans today Of the Councils reply to the German note on separations, There were no indications, however, when the exact nature of the conces- sions made regarding the Sarre val ley would be revealed.
 China's delegation at the Peace Conference has decided that it will sign the peace treaty insofar it's dec!a- ration that it would not do so because of the decision of the Council of Three relative to the turning over to Japan of Germany's interests in Shantung and Kiao Chau. It is said, however, that reservations will be made in at taching the signatures of the Chinese, it being pointed out that the United States has taken similar action in the past.
 It is not expected that the nego- tiationS with the Germans at Yer sailles will be interfered with by the absence of Count von Brockdorff- Rantzau and other members of the delegation, who have gone to Spa for consultations The return of the head of the mission and his colleagues is expected not later than Sunday.

FAvORS AMERICA
 AS MANDATORY
Morgenthau Submits Mem orandum To Presi-
 dent.

Paris, Thursday, Hay 22 - Henry Morgenthau, former American Am bassador to Turkey, has submitted a memorandum to President Wilson concerning the proposal that the United States should become manda- tory for Constantinople. It is under stood that he favors the inclusion of Constantinople, Anatola and Armenia under one mandate, as being advan- tageous for administrative purposes by combining large section of Northern Asia Minor under one cen tra1 administration.
 The question of mandates for var ious parts of Turkey is before the Council of Four and has not been finally settled. British and French sentiment iy favorable to the United States taking the mandate for Con- stantinople, and a similar movement is apparently gaining ground in the American delegation, but it is stated authoritatively that acceptance must be conditioned on the submission of the question to Congress.
 President Wilson's recommendation relative to accepting a mandate for Constantinople win depend largely upon the report of commission ere ated today for the investigation of
  King, president of Oberlin College, and Charles R. Crane will be the American representatives, and will have colleagues from other Allied and associated powers. The commission will leave immediately to study con- ditions in Turkey. Until its report has been received it is mot probable any action will be taken concerning the supervision of Constnntinople.
