China to Ask Revision
 of Treaty With Japan;
 No Reply From Russia
(Continued from Page One)

Wilson, the premiers and foreign min- isters, reinforced by Marshal Foch. Field Marshal Haig, General Pershing, and General Diaz and the full mem bership of the war council of Yer sailles
 The subject for consideration is not Russia or Poland, as was supposed. but the status of the present military oc- equation of Germany, on which the council desires information from the military leaders. In some allied quar- ters it had been suggested that the American strength in the occupied re- gions should be relatively larger than that of the other forces, as the Flu ropean allies have gone through longer service. This view is not shared in American quarters, where 1t is ma1n- tained that the relative American strength is fully up to the require mentS.
 The presence of the military leaders tomorrow is expected to bring a fairly full understanding on this subject.
