HAS POWER TO
 MODIFY MANDATE
Text DisprOves Recent Claim of the Council Japan Makes Reservations on All Man dates.

Washington, March 7.-Japan ac- cepted the mandate of former German possession in the Pacific north of the equator including the island of Yap with the reservation that Japanese citizens should not be subjected Ito discriminatory and dsadvantageous treatment" in other mandated terri tories
 This was disclosed in the complete text on the mandate granted Japan by the league of nations which was obtained today at the State Depart ment. The reservation stipulated by Japan was similar to one advanced by the American government in refer ence to Mesopotamia in it's recent note to the league of nations in which exception also was taken to the de- lclaration in the preamble of the man. date that it was conferred in accord ance with an agreement between "the principal allied and associated pow CTS"
 The United States has maintained that 1t was never a party to the agree ment by which Yap was conferred on Japan and it has also insisted upon equal commercial opportunities for all nationals in the mandated territories. Japan's contention for equal oppor- tunities is understood to apply par ticularly to the mandated territories south of the equator in the Pacific awarded Australia.
 Beside the grant of freedom only to nationals of states members of the league of nations for the prosecution of their calling as missionaries in the mandated territory the text of the mandate in the opinion of officials, is of particular interest to the United States in that it specifically provides that the consent of the council of the league of nations is required for any modification of it's terms.
 The council of the league in its re- cent reply to the American note con- corning the award of Yap to Japan stated that this was a question which would have to be settled between the principal allied and associated powers as the function of the league was only an administrative one.

over the German indemnity were broken today; action comes tomor- row with the march of French, Brit ish and Belgian forces into Germany and the occupation of a large section of her richest manufacturing country. Even now the allied troops are on the move, for a late Berlin dispatch says that French troops who will occupy Duesseldorf have advanced to within six miles of that city.
 The allied ultimatum was fore closed apparently with reluctance by the British prime minister The French do not appear regretful, while the Germans left Lancaster House, where the conferences have been held, plainly depressed to take their train for home tomorrow.
 Two long sittings of the conference threshed out the final break before Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Will son wrote telegrams ordering the commanders at the front to execute the orders already given to them. Dr. Simons, the German foreign sec retary presented an alternate plan, whereby Germany agreed to pay the annuities for the first five years de- manded in the Paris plan, and also the equivalent of the proposed 12 per cent tax on exports, but clung to the conditions for the retention of Upper Silesia and worldwide freedom of German trade.
 MT. Lloyd George, delivering iudg- ment for the allies, said they deeply deplored the necessity of the decision while Dr. Simons clung to the last to the contention that the Paris demands were impossible for Germany to ful- fill. The allies regarded the German course as strategy for delay, and the latest plan as one whereby the whole treaty would have to be reconsdered and debated after five years, wher Germany might hold more favor able position.
 pr. Simons finally asked for fur ther time in which to consult the Ger man cabinet. This was denied
 The French army will furnish the bulk of the forces for the new march into Germany. Great Britain's con. tribution in men will be only large enough to show her solidarity with the allies, who wait with the deep est interest for any sign from Wash. ington of the American government attitude toward the new enterprise

The plight OF this second Sinbad, a
