COUNCIL FARLEY
 b|G SUCCESS |S ALLIED BELIEF
All Participants Satisfied with Decisions|Founda- ton Laid for Future Suc- cesses Is Opinion of Brit ish Premier
IRepubIican A. ?. Leased Wire,

SAN RENO, April 26.-Results oi the supreme councils 10-day meeting are such that each government taking part seems to consider it's aspirations have been measurably satisfied. The premiers and foreign ministers partici- pated in great personal cordiality and apparently with much mere confidence in the near future.
 The councils note to Germany, in it's Intentionally harsh form, complies with the French attitude toward a de- faultinS debtor. while in substance it IS an expression of the British policy, making it easier for Germany to pay through the councils consent to dis cuss with the chiefs of her govern ment the amount of reparation, and the willingness of the allies to examine proposals
 Results Favorable to France
 France also gains, for as Paul Fly mans, the Belgian foreign minister, re- marked today French hopes may be reduced, but her realities will be in creased" by the fixing of global sum for Germany to pay.
 M. Jasper, Belgian minister of recon structiOn, says if such a sum is agreed upon the Germans will start earnestly to work because heretofore there has been no inducement for them to pay any part of unknown and vaguely enormous liabilities.
 The word revision is eschewed by the prime ministers in talking of the treaty of Versailles, the word inter pretation' is coming into use. Italian Premier Nitti appears content over the council leaving the Adriatic question to a. continuance of direct negotiations with the Jugo-Siavs.
 Belgium and Greece Satisfied
 The Belgians are satisfied because they believe the western bloc of pow CTS, Great Britain. France and Bel giun, remains as solid as ever against Germany. They also are for the inn mediate fixing of the amount of Ger many's debts.
 M VenizeIos, the Greek premier. seems pleased over the extension of Greek territories by the addition of Thrace and Smyrna, ancient posses sions of the Greek race
 The attitude of the council was con- ciliatory toward Russia in inStructing the executive committee of the su- prenle economic council to negotiate with the soviet representative, Kras- sin. for commercial arrangements.
 The Zionists are happy over Pales- tine as they wish a national home.
 Turks Suffer Heavily
 The Turks alone may feel that this has been 8 dark week for them; yet Cilicia has been left to Turkey. The French statesmen decided on taking no further commitments in the near east except Syria. The Turks also still have q chance to receive Erzeroum, through the arbitration of President Wilson in the matter of the Armenian boundaries.
 The British premier, Lloyd George, feels this has been one of the most successful meetings of the supreme council one of promise for the future of Europe and the restoration of eco- homie cooperation. The delegations will leave tomorrow Robert Under wood Johnson, American amba ssador, returning to Rome.

 St. Paul reports $. O. $. from Rus sian station at Anadir stating Amund- sen expedition icebound in Kolyrna river and requesting we handle inn portant dispatches"
 Later radio messages were inter- changed between Amundsen and his family in Norway. but no information regarding the condition of the rnen- bers of tho expedition or the reasons for turning back were given.
 A dispatch today in answer to a message to the Cordova station asking for available information said a mes- senger had started south and that Amundsen intended to take the steam CT Victoria at Nome Alaska for Seat tie but that the time would depend on when the expedition could clear the ice. The message came from the Anadir, Siberia, station. several hun dred miles from the mouth of the Kolyma river.
 Navy department officials said it was probably the Maude. Amundsen,s ship, was still icebound in the Kolynla river and that a party has been sent overland to the trading post radio sta ton on Anadir bay to establish com munication with the world
