TURKISH TREATY IS T0
 BE COMPLETED TODAY
 BY SUPREME COUNCIL
1RepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel


 PARIS, April 22.-The allied su- preme council this morning continued it's elaboration of the treaty With TUT key which. it is believed. will be fin- ished today, according to the San Reno correspondent of the HavaS agency. Having in mind the reserva- tions formulated by President Wilson in his note of last month. the corre- spondent says, the council decided not to allocate immediately and definitely the Smyrna wedge to Greece.
 In view of the fact that the import ance of the Mohammedan element. especially since the war, has obliged many Creeks to quit the territory, a plebiscite will be held few days hence to determine the final disposi- ton of the region.
 With regard to the protection or minorities. the correspondent con- tinues, the Ottoman government will be compelled to pledge itself to respect the different beliefs. Every act con- trary to neutrality in this respect will be considered by the co-contracting powers as q violation of the treaty and may lead to military repression. Representatives of the league or na- tions will be installed in Constantf- nople to receive the complaints Of the ruinorities. if there are any.
 The receipt of the German note ask ing permission for the maintenance of an army of 200 900, minimum strength. has produced a lively impression on the members of the council In Italian and British circles, however, it did not seem to cause surprise and even ap- peared to be favorably regarded.
 The German appeal. in fact, accords with ideas already expressed by the chief of the Italian government. The opinion expressed in French circles that if. in view of the danger of bol- shevism, this demand is granted, E,,.ancx, ought fO receive guarantees against any attempt at revenge on the mart of Germany
