French government having agre cd on

Cologne area will not be evacuated On
January 10, the allied council of am
bassadors meeting here today, il expect
ed to settle upon the final draft Of the
document in short order. The council
is also expected to decide upon the date
for forwarding the note to the reicbs.
The reasons given in the note for the
extension Of the occupation are under
stood to be briefly these: Conviction on
the, part of the allies that Germany has
not fulfilled her military obligations
under the Versailles treaty; the impos-
sibility of her fulfilling them by Jan
uary 10; the insuffciency of the pro-
portion in which she has fulfilled them
up to the present and, finally, the me-
cessity for the allies to await the gen
eral report Of the inter-allied control

what may be expected Of Germany in
the future.
