 WHAT REMAINS AMONG THEM
Commission on Preparation Will Fix Amount Germany Must Pay Before May l. 1921. and in tho Meantime, Huns Must Carry Out Obligations.

Paris, Jan. 13.-in the peace coun- cil today Hugh c. Wallace, American ambassador; raised the question whether the council intended to main- tain the percentages previously adopt ed for the distribution among the al- lied and associated powers of the war ship tonnage to be given up by Ger many.
 Receiving an answer in the affirma- tive, Ambassador Wallace informed the council that the United States, in that case, waived its claim to any part of this tonnage. ''
 With the opening on Saturday of the period during which Germany must pay her debts to the allies, it is an- nOunced the commission on repara- r rtion must fix the amount due by Ger many before May 1, 1921. In the meantime, the commission will see that Germany carries out her obliga- < tions. --..--
 Must Deposit Sum.
 Until the amount of reparation pay ments has been fixed Germany will . have to deposit 20,000,o 100000 marks in gold, or it's equivalent in material, ships, securities and coal. As an ac- Acknowledgement of and security for this portion of the debt which is payable immediately, the German gorernm ent will be forced to hand over gold bonds representing the full amount. In ad- dition to this, a sum of 10000, 900, 900 . marks in gold bonds immediately ne \gotiable will be eXacted and another Eum of 10000, GOO, 900 in gold bonds. hich the commission will negotiate %only when it shall consider the finan- ciaI condition of Germany warrats.
 The council today maGe slight modification in the draft of stiSes Hanei garian treaty dealing with the furnish ing of coal by Hungary to Poland and Czecho-Slovakia. The document as considered as finally shaped It al- ready is in the printers hands and '@probably will be ready for delivery before the end of the week. .
 Publish All Acts.
 The council decided that publication of all acts of the peace conference be made in French by tn Fernch govern ment and in English by the British.
 The subject of the demand by Tur- key for decision regarding the prohi- A bition of business relations between her and the central powers was taken up and it was decided that German goods might be sent to Turkey, but only through third parties.
 Last Meeting.
 This probably was the last meeting of the supreme council, as at present organized. It is not likely to meet again unless the premiers delay action ~upon the proposed ambassadorial committee.
 The supreme council this morning concluded a plan for appointment of committee of am bassadors to complete the details for the presentation and signing of the Hungarian peace treaty and to carry through the other unfin- ished business of the peace conference. . The decision, however, was left to the heads of the governments of the prin- cipal powers.
 The necessity for the return home of the Italian and other members of the council is announced as the reason why another organization should be created.
 It was thought that premiers now taking part in the conference here Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Nitti, will approve of the iGea of creating the .. committee of ambassadors as many questions likely to come up in the fu- ture in connection with the execution of the various peace treaties will be diplomatic questions well as peace problems
