WASHINGTON, March 9.-The de cisions reached by the supreme council relative to Turkey. which have been sent to Ambassador Jesserand, by the French government will be communi cated to President Wilson through Act ing Secretary of State Polk.
 It is understood that the measures decided upon by the council are purely coercive and as the American position has been one of the benevolent interest Turks. it is scarcely expected that any opposition will be offered to the execu- tion of the councils program
 According to information here repre- sentations to be made to the govern ment by the entente include recom- menations that American naval strength in the Turkish waters oe largely augmented.
 Military forces now in Turkey, ac cording to official intelligence. include g, 1000 British, 1S.00O French 16.o00 Italian and 100000 Greeks. The Turk ish regular army of 43,o00 men is dis posed with 5000 men in Europe and 34 900 in Asia About sixty per cent of the Adriatic forces are said to be pronationalist.

 To Fix German Preparation
 The powers are agreed that it is de- sirable in the interest alike of Ger many and her creditors that the total to be paid by her for reparation should be fixed at an early date. They ob- serve that under the protocol of the treaty a period of four months from the signature of the treaty was pro- vfded during which Germany should have the right to make proposals of the kind referred to- and they are agreed that in the circumstances as they exist today such period should
 Concerning Germany, the memor- andum says:
 Tt is most desirable in the interests of the allied countries, no less than of Germany that at the earliest possi- ble moment the total of repaymentS to be made by Germany under the treaty of Versailles should be fixed and that in accordance with the terms of the treaty and the reply of the powers to the German delegates, dated June Is. 1919. she should be enabled to obtain essential food stuffs and raw materials and if necessary the opinion of the separations commission should be allowed to raise abroad a loan to meet her immediate needs of such amount and with such priority as the separations commission may deem essential.

 Austria Also Needs Help
 The memorandum makes the follow ing general observations:
 The process of recovery of Europe must necessarily be a slow one, which cannot be expedited by short cuts of any description. It can be most se- riously hampered by the dislocation of production, by strikes, lockouts and interruptions of work of all Eipds.
 ''The civilization of Europe has in- deed been shaken and set back, but it is far from being irretrievably ruined by the tremendous struggle through which she has passed. The restora- tion of her vitality now depends on the whole hearted cooperation of all her children who have it in their own power to delay or accelerate the pro- cess of reconstruction
 Tt is the hope of every government that improved conditions of livelihood and employment may be assured to workers. Taking the allied countries as a whole, the recovery of industry has been remarkable. Nearly eighteen months have passed since hostilities terminated, and the reaction which necessarily followed the tension strain of the war is gradually passing. The citizens of every country arc opoo again resuming their normal occupa- tions of home life and in their renewed labors the conference sees a clear sign of renewed prosperity"
