 Complete satisfaction to the claims advanced by the United States in it's rote tc the council of the League of Nations relative to the Japanase mandatory over the Island of Tap is understood to be given in the note prepared for dispatch to Washington which was considered finally today Ky the council. The answer to the American protest has been couched in very conciliatiry terms, says the Matin. One plan advanced would be the leaving of the Island of ap under the Japanase mandate but would give control of the international cable sta tion there to America.
 Vfscount Kikujiro Ishii, the Jap aneSe representative on the council, is declared to have said yesterday that Japan was ready to accept any compromise in the matter

, The Secretary said it is idle 'to talk about who won the war. Many nations beth their united efforts to accomplish it. but Americas effort is one in which all Americans can take pride.'
 Although Secretary Baker has never advocated a huge standing army in peace time, the experiences of the World War have convinced him of the fallacy of the implication contained in the assertion that America can ''spring into arms over night
 The army as fixed by Congress is omewhat too small for the most effi- cient training. the secretary asserted. He agrees with Secretary Daniels that the navy must be at it's best when war begins but makes no such claim for the army.
 Whether or not a standing army comprising a separtate caste and class apart from the life of the nation is dangerous, depends upon a variety of considerations,'' said the secretary. But that it is relatively useless, is clear Our great army in the war was strong, because it was part of the. whole people of the United States, in fresh and constant contact with the thoughts and feelings of the civic fireside from which it had cone.''

 IN WRECK PROBE

The next finding to be issued by Coroner John J. Phelan will be on the Shelton trolley wreck case. 1t was learned today The coroner is now conducting several other investiga- tions, but it is understood that no findings will be issued in these cases until the Shelton matter is disposed of.

|, Dr. Simons in effect, said Germany would pay fifty billion marks. subject to the various discounts and reduc- tions and the sums already paid. A haSty examination by the French delegation of the written proposals of the Germans indicated that after the reductions Germany would pay about thirty billion marks.
 Premier Briand said that the pro- posals were so drawn they amounted to an offer that if the allies would advance Germany money on favorable terms, then Germany would pay them. The Germans apparently fig ure that if the capital sum of about. thirty billion marks were taken now, 1t would amount to about 220,000, = eco marks in 42 years at per cent. The difficulty, however, it is pointed out in allied quarters, is for Germany to obtain these thirty billion marks without the allies doing it largely for them, which the allies regard as wholly unacceptable.
 Four German delegates, Dr. Wal ter Simons, Foreign Minister; Carl Bergman, an expert on financial af- fairs; Herr Won Simson, Secretary of the German Foreign Office, and pr. Goeppert, head of the Juridical Sec tion of the foreign office, entered the conference with the allies on the re- parations question today.

The decision is of far-reaching i'm. portance inasmuch as it gives ordin- ary city employees. the benefits of the compensation act. on the ground that they are not public officers, such as policemen, firemen and like officials.
 It was announced by Assistant City Attorney w. Parker Seeley today, that the case will be carried to the Supreme court on a, reservation, in order that the court may decide whether Burrell was a public off cer or an ordinary city employe.
