MAY. BE STRICT
Supreme Council Puts OF on
Decision Until Today.
Has Recommendations on What
the Hun Must Do.

Paris, Feb. S:-Many important
matters were before the supreme war
council. comprising the council of the
great powers and the military COM
manders on all fronts, when it met to
consider primarily the extension OF the
armistice with Germany-wh expires
February IT. Altho the final decisions
went over until today the session was
interesting from the number of sub
jects demanding attention that were
presented by the naval and military
chiefs. Reports were made to the
council by the military high COM
mands on the subjects of demoblliza-
ton and the relative forces of the
powers to be maintained in the occu-
pied regions The Versailles military
council also submitted a report as to
the military forces available for the
disturbed regions of Turkey.
To Divide the Fleet.
The naval branch of the council
presented recommendation formulat-
ed as the result of consultations
among the British. French. Italian and
American naval commanders, bearing
mainly on the turning over of the Ger
man submarines, blockade restrictions
and the surrender of the German COM
mercial fleet. This fleet, it is stated,
is ready to be turned over, but the al
lies thus far have not agreed on the
allotment of the steamers among the
various allied nations nor on the COM
pensation for the use of the vessels.
When an agreement is reached and
the United States receives its share oil
the ships, they will be manned by the
American navy and fly the Stars and
Stripes, the initials of the relief coun-
Gil being added to the flag.
The commission on blockade also
presented a report favoring the light
ening of the blockade restrictions II
the Mediterranean and Adriatic.
A tendency was evident in some mil
itary quarters to impose further dras-
tic terms upon Germany when the
armistice was extended, but no de.
cision was reached Friday as to wha1
measures might be taken. After hear
ing the views of the military repre-
sentatives, the council of the grea1
powers decided to continue the dis
cussion tomorrow, when the decision:
| will be made without the presence OF
these representatives. This last move
was regarded in some quarters. a.
| significant of the gradual change from
| war conditions to those of norma
|. peace times.

TILDEN AND RICHARDS
BEATEN BY WESTERNERS

CINCINNATI. July 1.-THE west
ern team of tennis players took the
lead at the opening days play of the
east VS.. west sectional championship
here yesterday by winning one of the
catches in the singles, one in the
doubles and losing only one in the
singles. thus making the count to
date two to one.
BY far the most interesting play of
the day was seen in the doubles, when
William NJ. Johnston of California
and Sam Hardy of Chicago took the
measure of the national champion,
William T. Tilden, jr, of Philadelphia
and Vincent Richards of New York.
after the fasteners had won the frs:
set of the match by a score of II to 9.
Tilden weakened in the next set,
while Johnston appeared to grow
stronger. and the latter's smashing
and serving displayed the fact that
the former champion was very close
to his old time form. The western
ers took this set 60 running through
it in fast fashion The western boys
continued their good work in the
third set and annexed it rather easily
6-3
Both Tilden and Richards came
back strong in the fourth set. but
could not cope with Johnston and
Hardy's steady work and went down
to defeat by score of is.
