A m e ri c an Ambassador
: Wallace Attended the
Gathering
OPINION PREVAILS
ALLIES WILL INSIST
Statement of Position Will
Be Issued After Anoth-
er Meeting Tonight

Paris, Feb. 4-The allied council Of
ambassadors was called into extraordi-
nary session this morning to discuss
the situation created by the resigna
ton Of Baron Kurt won Lersner, head
of the German missioner here. The sess
sion was held in the French foreign Of
fee.
Hugh G.. Wallace, the American am
hassador. who attended the meeting,
said afterwards that he had no state
ment to make regarding IT,
II was made known that an official
communique would be issued later IN
the day.
This statement, however, would not
be issued until after the second meet
ing Of the council which was set for
$3.50 o'clock this evening, II was stated
at the French foreign office
Meanwhile an official view OF the sit
uation arising from Baron son Lers.
ner's refusal to transmit the list OF
the accused Germans TO his govern
menf. is lacking. The general impres-
sion among observers Of the peace pro-
ceedings, however, was that the action
Of the German representative would not
influence the determination OF the al
lies TO demand the extraditions.
In French official circles, 1t was ex-
planned, the feeling was that despite
The general indifference on the extra
.dition question manifested by the pub
lie there was an important rea-
SON why the allies should insist upon
the execution Of the clause in the
treaty relating TO the accused Germans.
The Impression Is strong in official
French quarters, it was declared, that
the Germans are disposed to make use
Of every possible pretext to avoid the
execution of not only this, but Of 9th.
or clauses Of the treaty and that if
the allies gave way on this point II
would be considered in Berlin as pre-
cedent on which to found demands for
further notifications.
Il was pointed out that, even in the
absence of the head Of the German
peace delegation. Baron Won Lersner,
and the charge d'affaires tDr Wilhelm
Mayor. who returned TO Berlin last
week shortly after being received by
Premier Millersnd) il would be sim
pie matter to have the list of the ac-
cused presented in Berlin by one OF
the representatives OF the allied gov
ernments now there.
While Baron Won Lersner gave out
nothing but the signed statement in
which he briefly stated his reasons for
resigning and refusing TO transmit the
list. the impression among observers IN
Paris is that he is acting on his per-
sonal initiative in announcing his de-
parture, not refectng the decision OF
his government and not committing i
to any specific course.
