Protests Against Sections of
Treaty of Little Effect on
Purposes of Allies.
NUMBER OF GERMAN
NOTES UNANSWERED
Wilson Let's it be
Known U. S. Will Probab-
ly Not Take Mandate for
ConstantinopIe.

Germany's serie sof notes protesting
sgainst various sections of the peace
reaty apparently had little effect on
de purpose of the allies to have the
Germans sign or refuse the treaty vir-
hally as. presented. Paris reports say
the only changes have been in the
phraseology and details. Several Ger
man notes however remain unanswered
and various reports from Germany in
fcate that the attitude of the Berlin
goyernment is changing. Some observ-
rs are expressing the opinion that It
will order the delegates at Versailles
10 sign the treaty. Meanwhile allied
troops are held ready along the Rhine.
General Robertson, British commal-
der. had a conference at Cob1enz FRI
day With Lieutenant General Liggett,
commander of the American bridge
head, regarding their plans should the
Germans decline to sign.
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau is
again at Versailles after a conference
Friday at Spa with Premier Scheida-

President Wilson. it is said in Paris,
has let it be known that the United
States probably won't be able to take
mandate for Constantinople or other
parts of the former Turkish empire.
