Complications Develope5
Which May Postpone Put \,

Paris, Dec. Although .tJiSf
supreme council today fixed January
6 as the date for signing the protocol
and exchanging ratifications Of tho
German peace treaty. complications,
are developing which it is thought bJ
again cause the postponement Of the
ceremony of putting the treaty into
effect. W
1t has developed that the Gernan.
technical delegates who are here TO
arrange the multitude Of details con-
in territories which must decide
whether they desire to be detached
from Germany, do not appear to have
full power to act. The signing Of the
protocol on January 6, therefore, may
depend upon whether the Germans
can secure these powers Immediately
in order to complete the arrangement
which it is thought in council CIRCLES
ought to precede the exchange Of
ratifications.
The fact that there are $4,000 Ger.
man troops in upper Silesia, where. II
plebiscite is to be held, was brought
! to the attention Of the council, which
reached the opinion that Germany.
should be informed that the troops
be withdrawn.
The attention of the council also
was called to the fact that Hungar-
ian troops continue to occupy part
Of western Hungary which was given
to Austria by the peace treaty. It
Is proposed to send a mission, OF al
lled officers there to supervise the-
withdrawal Of these troops. ~

reply to be made to Switzerland.s ap-
