SUPREME C0ufE;33:::l MEETS TODAY
TO SETTLE PROGRAM
 AND ADJUST NUMBER
 OF REPRESENTATIVE

PARIS. Jan. 11.-(By the Associated Press)-The first meeting of the su- preme inter allied council, since the American delegation arrived in Paris, is expected to be held at the French foreign office tomorrow.
 This will bring together President Wilson and the premiers of the three other principal powers, David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Wit torio Orlando, who will probably be accompanied by their foreign ministers Balfour Pichon and Sonnino. It is understood that Colonel House will also attend with President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, as he had served as the presidents representative on the council until the president arrived here. This supreme council is distinct from the inter-allied conference as the supreme council is confined to the president and premiers, whereas the inter-allied conference is made up of the full delegations of five members of the great powers and a lesser num- Der from other powers.
 For this reason, the full Amer- can delegation will not attend the meeting Sunday.
 To Arrange Program
 The purpose of the meeting is to ar range a preliminary program for Mon day, when the other nations will be represented, md full delegations will be present. The matter of represen- tation and Mondays meeting of the inter-allied conference have been the subjects of informal discussion among the various national representatives, but so far no official announcement has been made.
 The arrival of the Japanese and Chinese delegations has brought to the front the possibility of the assertion by the former of the right to repre- sent the later, and it may be that this will be one of the questions con- sidered tomorrow.
 It is expected that the inter -allied conference will assemble early Mon- day, though the exact time and dura- tion of the sessions have not yet been finally fixed. Sessions, more or less formal, will likely last several days with M. Clemenceau as temporary presiding officer, pending the arrival of belated delegations, and the launch ing of the conference in its full mem bership.
 Choose Clemenceau Chairman When that stage is reached. Presi- dent Poincare will attend for the pur- | pose of delivering the welcome O. l France to the delegates, and George: | Clemenceau, the French premier, vii then be chosen permanent chairman | of the conference, in accordance witt l the general view of the delegates, anC | the usual practice of selecting tht | chairman from the country entertain | ing an international gathering.
 Aside from the meetings of the su. | preme council and the inter allied con. ference, interest centers in the inter 1 allied relief committee, which held it first meeting today, after the arriva of the Earl of Reading, representa-: Great Britain. This is the organiza ton of which Herbert C. Hoover i director general, and today's meetin, was for the purpose of securing tn cooperation of all the allies in the eX | tensive relief plans.
 Vance Mccormick and Bernard M Baruch arrived today and are bring ing the results of their, experiences a
 the heads of the United States wa trade board and war industries boart
 to the various activities of the Amer ican delegation.
