pmeal area to be embraced in the Pacific fortifications "status quo." The big unanswered question is whether a string of Japanese islands extending 300 miles to the southward of the main Japanese archipelago are to be included In the territory where further, fortifications is prohibited. Though little public attention has been drawn to the matter of the ex-1 tent of fortifications to be permitted i to racifie islands the general board of the American navy attaches a good Tleal of importance to it. , Fortification of the string or islands southward from the mainland of the Japanese mainland would control the approach-; e.s by naval vessels to the whole north coast of China, and would constitute an effective military barrier. Among other questions yet to be Fettled is the number of guns to be Permitted to airplane carriers and the 'Hlibre of such g'ti.ns. It has already 1 pen decided to attach appendices to t!ie main treaty. These will deal with t!;e limitations to be placed on the retl'icement cf capital ships: scrapping f ' ships and other such technicalities.

The new treasury savings certificates were placed on the market for the first time, Dec. 15, at first and second class postoffices and all federal reserve banks. But the demand grew so great that the postoffice department officials, after consulting with officials of the treasury department, furnished 12,000 third class postoffices with certificates. Even this did not suffice, and there was a second supplemental order which placed the certificates on sale in 17,000 fourth class offices.

On Feb. 14, the dail will re-convene to ratify formally the document which it approved as the representative body of the Irish republic.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS COUNCIL DEBATES PROBLEMS OF SAARE (By Associated Press) GENEVA, Jan. 11. Prominent among the matters coming before the council of the League of Nations today was the re-appointment of members of the commission governing the Saars valley and definition of what constitutes an inhabitant of the Saars. Under the treaty of Versailles the majority of the inhabitants of the vf.1j ley are under French control, but Ger many insists they do not for this reason lose their German nationality. Germany also protests against a Frenchman being chairman of the governing commission. M. Pault is the. present head of the commission. Next on the agenda is the question of the council guaranteeing the aiticles of the recent convention concluded in Geneva, concerning non -fortification and naturalization of the Aland Islands. The complaint by the Finnish government that the Russian Soviet government is not observing the conditions of the treaty granting autonomy to Eastern Karelia in northwestern Russia, also will be considered.

SINGLE COPY, 3 CENTS TO REPLY TO CRITIC! French Premier Leaves Cannes for Paris to Inform Cabinet as to State of Negotiations at Conference. GERMANS SUMMONED 'By Associated Press) CANNES, Jan. 11 Premier Eiiand will leave Cannes for Paris at 3 o'clock this afternoon, it was announced t!m morning, not only to inform the French cabinet as to the status of the negotiations here but, it is understood to meet and answer criticisms of certain groups of the opposition and to demand that the chamber of deputies support or reject him. PARIS, Jan. II. A cabinet council presided over by President Milierand, met at the Ely,ce palace today and again discussed the negotiations at Cannes, cencsrning which Premier Eriand had telegraphed a request for instructions and advice. The meeting lasted three hours and the results ot the deliberations were transmitted to the premier at Cannes. The official communique issued after the meeting was silent concerning the nature of the questions discussed but it is Understood thst the nmnncul . . ' - - - I I . : Ano-ln.rt'oTifth . 1 -r . . r . . 6. i n.u.j, uucubub agreement :was the main object under consideration. J A Havas Agency dispatch from Can.nes says that Premier Briand is combing to Paris this afternoon to inform j the cabinet cf the state cf the nesrotiaitions at Cannes and that he w'ir rejlurn to Cannes Friday. . CANNES, Jan. 11 The British rosivrandum of the proposed Anglo-French 1 pact which was telegraphed tc-xtual'v ! to London, declared Great Britt iii makes the security of France a problem of her own. and that she will b ready again to throw in her forces as j in 1914, if French soil is attacked. I Representatives of the German go. -i ernment today were summoned to a: pear this evening betore the allied reparations commission to explain j Germany's inability to meet her Jan 1 uary and February reparations paj j ments. While the allied supreme' council met today to consider Germany's war reparations, much of the interest oi the delegates was centered in PaiU where the French cabinet was 1o hold a special session to consider France'. position as the result of the decisions reached here. Criticism Develops. It Is understood that considerable adverse criticism of Premier Briand has developed in his cabinet in connection wiih the proposed AngloFrench defensive alliance, and there is much speculation a? to the resuk of the cabinet's meeting. Approval by the council last night of the plan for formation of an international financial corporation left lb-? reparations question as the most important item left on the agenda. Th? conferences with the German reparations delegation under Dr. Walter Rathenau, which was to arrive today were expected to be brief. No delays will be granted for the purpose of conflicting with Berlin, iand advices from the German capital are that the delegation has full powers to act in the name of its government. The desire of Germany to participate in the consortium which is going to engage in the enterprise of restoring Europe, including Austria and Russia, to normal conditions, is counted upon to overcome' any hesitancy she might have to subscribe to the allies' new terms. Must Declare Intention. It is pointed out by the promoter." of the consortium idea that, any country wishing to have a share therein must subscribe to the principles laid down in the resolution of-the council on Friday, that all honorable obligations must be respected. Hence, if Germany does not want to abandon her cherished idea of taking a large part in the economic restoration of Russia she must declare her intention of paying what she owes. Although not. named with Great Britain, France, Italy, Belgium. Japan and the United States as a participant in the propo.-ion for setting up the "Central International. Corporation" as the new institution will be called, Germany was specifically named as an important factor in Central Eastern Europe that ought to help lift Europe out of her present troubles. Final Terms The final terms for reparations payments that the German delegation wiil be asked to accept are 720.000.000 gold marks and reparations in kind to the value of 1.75O.00O.OOO gold marks annually. France, finally renouncing any part, of the 1,000,000,000 marks already paid, will get 1,125,000,000 marks of the payments in kind each year the remainder going as follows: 240,000.000 to Italy, 100,000,000 to Great Britain, 125,000,000 to Belgium, 7,000,000 to Japan, and the rest to other beneficiaries under the treaty. Of the 720,000,000 gold marks payable in cash in 1922. Great Britain will get 159,000,000, of which she will loan 139,000.000 to France, the loan being repayable from later cash payments by Germany to France. The rest will apply on Belgium's priority. This division applies only to the present year, the idea being that the payments in cash be in part applied to payment of interest on Series A cf the German bonds to the value of 1,000,000,000 gold marks now in the hands of the reparations commission to secure payment of 519,000,000 marks to Belgium, 450,000,000 to Great Britain and 31,000,000 to Italy.
