BERLIN READY TO- SIGN

Paris, Jan. 3.-(Havas.) - Ex-
change OF ratihcations of the peace
treaty with Germany on Jan. 6 is
still possible, in the opinion of the
Matin. which says the Germans will
have time before that date to for
ward explanations demanded by the
peace conference.
To Send No More Notes.
Berlin. Jan. al. N. S.)--No more
peace notes will be sent to the allies
by Germany, according to foreign
office officials, who declared today
that this country has at last reached
an understanding with the entente
which precludes the possibility OF fu-
ture friction. Final details. are be-
ing worked out by Baron Kurt Won
Lersner and Herr Won Simon in
Paris.
That Berlin considers the peace
question as virtually closed is shown
by Foreign Secretary Muelers an
nouncement that he is departing for
a ten days vacation.
\ 1t is understood here that the
protocol of ratification will not be
signed before Jan. 6, as originally re-
ported, but that the signatures will
be delayed until the middle of the
month because of the nunerous de-
tails to be cleared up. Some OF these
refer to regulations for plehiscites in
various countries, but there is said TO
be no disagreement over them.
The allies are not hurrying Ger
many. One cause for this leisure is
said to be the hope that the United
States may yet ratify the peace
Treaty before it becomes effective in
Europe, by the exchange OF allied
Iratifcatiors.
Not important Issue. u
This call of a meeting OF TIE league

gates to reach the sppointed place in
