An allled.note handed to tHo German delejatlom late ,thls evo-nln- ir refuses to decrease the number of troop effectives destined for the terrl-tori- In which plebiscites are 'to be held. The nota says that by tho Untied States In the proposed oc- cupation already has decreased tho ef fectives by and that Ger- many's cxpenks will be reduced accord-Inil- y and that, therefore Germany's re quest for n lessenlm In the number of troops Is unwarranted. It Is reported In dlplomatlo quarters that while It will not be Impossible for tho oxehango of ratifications, to take place Saturday, the ctremony may be delayed until Monday, January 12. This is due to difficulties encountered by the commissions of experts. The council of the Learue of Nations, M is understood, will be called to meet about a week later. The precise date for the conference of the Powers on the Turkish question still remains uncertain, and there Is even doubt as yet as to Just what form this conference will take and exactly who wilt participate.
