| 70 SIGN PEACE
next SATURDAY
Allies Modify Demands on Loss
Of Ships at scapa
Flow.
GERMANS ACCEPT THE TERMS
United States Must o. X. Paris Ediets
and Decisions Affecting America.
Ambassador Wallace Informs
the Supreme Council.
Paris, Jan. THE supreme council
has tentatively set January 10 for the
ratification Of the treaty Of Versailles.
The councils basis for settlement
on the Scapa Flow sinkings was hand
ed over. to Raron Won Lersner and It
was announced that an agreement had
been reached with the German dele
cation.
It Is understood that this plan re-
duces the demand for reparation from
400, 900 TONS to about 275,OO0 tons OF
dock and harbor materials.
May Delay Ratification.
The signing Of the protocol and the
exchange of ratificatio Of the treaty
depend. it is stated, on the answer OF
the Berlin government to the German
delegates on questions concerning the
arrangements for plebiscites. 1t mp
pears certain that these formal
tiles cannot take place as; had been
planned.
The question OF commercial rela-
tons between Turkey and the central
powers after the exchapg, Of ratif-
cations Of the treaty OF Versailles was
discussed by the council. It was de-
cided that the status created by the
armistice should continue until peace
was signed with Turkey. The arms
tice terms prohibit such relations.
Asks Change In Formula.
Hugh C. Wallace, the American am
bassador, was reported to have asked
the supreme council Of the peace con-
ference to change the formula refer
Ing to, the powers participating in the
council from the "allied and ASSOCIATE
ed powers" to the "allied powers.
This report was not strictly correct.
Ambassador Wallace, It Is stated,
hrs not asked for the abandonment OF
the term "allied and associated pow
ers." but merely requested that, when
questions arose which involved the
United States. this formula. including
the United States, be not used in
documents until he had time to get q
decision from Washington on such
questions.
Meanwhile, the report appears TO
hive created an erroneous impression
here. Evidently basing Its comment
upon the early impression OF a more
radical request Of the ambassador, the
Echo. de Paris, in an editorial, says:
'@This marks the determination OF
the United States not to participate
oficially In decislonP to be reached In
Paris"
washington. while declining the re-
sponsibilites of the supreme council,

siOns. How can Mr.. Wailace's role
be defined? He is not n plepipQten-,,
