Paris, Dec. 31.-Altho the supreme
council today fixed Jan. as the date
for signing the protocol and exchans-
ing ratifications Of the treaty. COM
plications are developing which II Is
thought may again cause the post
ponement of the ceremony Of putting
the treaty into effect.
It developed that the German tech-
nical delegates who are here to ar
range the multitude Of details Tor
plebiscites in territories do not appear
to have full power TO act. The sign
ing Of the protocol on Jan. s there
fore may depend on whether the Ger
mans can secure those powers I'M
mediately, in order to complete ar
ransements which 1t is thought IN
council circles ought to precede the
signing Of the protocol.
German Troops Still In Field.
The fact that there are $4,000 Ger
man troops in Upper Silesia. where a
plebiscite Is to be held, was brought
10 the attention Of the council. which
reached the opinion that Germany had
better be informed that the troops
should be withdrawn. The fact was
also brought UP that Hungarian troops
continued to occupy q part Of west
ern Hungary, which was given to Aus
tria by the peace treaty. II Is pro-
posed to send mission Of allied Of

drawal Of these troops.

It NOW appears that this argument

that they not be called upon to accept

S2,5OO.OOO FOR
RIVER FRONT PIERS
Tentative Plans Also In
clude Quay, Warehouse
and Municipal RailIoad
LAY
OUT LOBDELL TRACT

Il was unoflcially stated this morn
ing that Of the s2,5OO,OOO which was
appropriated at the special session OF
City Council last night, FOR the river
front project, an amount agsregatins
perhaps $4,000 would be necessary for
the purchase Of land. the engineering
expenses, various sundries and incl
dentals. This would leave about 81
100000 for the construction work
proper.
Plans Tor this proposed work are
still. however, very indefinite, although
several tentative ideas are being con
sidered. It is likely that a quay 1900
feet in length will be constructed along
The south side OF the creek, on the old
Lobdell property. II constructed ac-
cording 10 the specifications OF Mr..
Meigs. the Philadelphia engineer, this
quay would have a minimum depth OF
% feet at low wafer, and a channel
OF the same depth would lead out 10
deep water in the Delaware. Thus any
ship which at the present time can go
TO Philadelphia, would be enabled 10
dock at the proposed quay.
II built, this wharf will be OF me
most modern concrete construction and
no pains will be spared to get the best
material and Workmanship available.
The same plans include a warehouse
on the land Immediately adjacent to
the quay, to take care Of all trans
merchandise. A municipal rail-
road, connecting with all three local
will be laid on the site. II Is
further proposed TO have a railroad
yard near the warehouse TO provide
facilities for heavy traffic.
Mr.. Meigs recently said: 1T is fortu-
nate for Wilmington that the site in
back Of the proposed wharf is not at
present built up" This statement was
caused by the fact that great amount
Of expansion area will be necessary
