tions council will be issued by Premier
Clemenceau, the supreme council de-
cided today.

dent Wilson issue, according to the
present program.
Wilson to Call Session. :.
It is pointed out in official circles
that it is immaterial who issues the in
formal notice, and that even the formal
notice is a simple detail. The issuance
of the formal notice devolves upon
President Wilson by the provisions Of
the treaty of Versailles, but it is held
that in case of his inability to act In
the matter any other. representative of
one of he five principal powers form
ing the executive council of the league
could issue the notice.

the German mission here, has been i'll
for three days and the progress of the
negotiations for settling of the ques-
ton of what dock and harbor tonnage
is to be turned over by Germany as
compensation for the Scapa Flow sink
ings has suffered in consequence. The
allies experts are making their COM
parisons of the German figures and the
allied estimates, but solution of the
question involved in the differences be-
tween the two sets of figures is not
clearly enough in sight it would ap-
pear to confirm the feeling in the
more optimistic council circles that the
peace protocol will be signed January

as the one fixed for the ceremony OF
the exchange of notifications which
would put the treaty into effect. -
