The principaf oowers and the repre sentative of Poland, after sijn.n^ the ratification minutes, nlso si^ned the minutes of the ratification of the treaty for the protection of raciai mmorities. Prcmiers Remain fcr Ccnterence Premiers Clemenceau, Lloyd George nnd Nitti did not leave the Foreign Ministry with the other Allied repre sentatives, but remained for a confer? ence in private. In conformity with the peace treaty and the annex of the league of nations covenant. Premier Ciemcnceau has te' egnphed Argentina. Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Spain, Norway, Puraguay, IIo iand, Sa.vador, S.veden, Switzer land and Venezuela t1 at the treaty is now effective and inviting them to r.iembcfc>hip in the league of natio.is. Beiore tho ceremony It was said that after the exchan^e of ratiticn tions Premier Clemenceau wo''ld hand to Baron von Lersner the following levtor: "Paris, January 10. Now that the rrotocol provided for by the note of i XCovember 2 1ns been 8t;nec! by qiali fied reprcsentatives of the German government, and in conseq"encc the r.-tific'itions of the treaty of Versailles lta? been deposited. the Allied and Hssociated poweis wish to renew to the German government their assur ance that whiie nece3sary' renarations i >r the sinkin<r of the German fl-'et in ?capa Flow will be exacted, V ey do r.ot ir.tcnd tr injure the vital economic inlerest of Germany. On this point, by thL- letter, they confirm the declara tfon.-. w'ich the general secretary of the peace con'erence was cha^ged with msklng orally to the president of t'e German dol^raticn on D^cember 23." Allied Declarations in Full Tvese dec arations are as follows: "First?The general secretary has fccen auihorized by the Supreme Coun cil to assure the Gern an delegation that the Inter-AHied Commission on Controi and the Commission on Rep arations will conform w.th the greatest rare to the staten ents in the note of l>ecember 8 rel '.ttve to safeguarding the vital economie interests of Ger? many. "Second?The experts of the Allied and as.ociated powers, believin? that part of the infoimation on which they icunded the r demand for 400,000 tons of floatin~ docks, floating crane ?, tugs \ r.nd dredijers may have been inaccu- j r te on certain points and detai'.s. I: think they have committed an error as concerns 80 000 tons of floating dock? nt Hamburg. If the investi^ation to wh'ch the Inter-Allied Commission on Control will proceed sha 1 show tlnt there rea ly has been an error, the A. hed and associated powers wi 1 be pre- | pared to reduce their demands proior- j c ona ly in a iranner to lower them to j 300,000 tons, in round numbors, and even below that if the rtecesity of such rcduction shnll be demonstrat'd i by cor.vincing arguments. But moac! comp ete faci!it;e . s ^ou'd be accorded to authorized Al ied and assocatel represantatives to enable them to make all necessary inquiries, with a v ew to verifying the German assertions, be-' iore any reduction from the original demards of the protoeol can be defi nitely admitted by the Allied and asso? ciated powers. Sinking Not Held Cr'minal "Third?The Allied and associated goverr.ments. with ie erence to the last paragraph of the letter w. ich co^tains the rtply, do not consider that the sole j ;;c. o. sinking the German ships at | Soapa Fiow constitutes a crime oi war | or which individual punishment will i be exac ed in confo.mity with Article j -2S oi the peace treaty. "On the other hand, the Allied and p.~rociatcd powers wish to P'int, out ihat without losir.g si^ht of .ho vi.nl; economie interests of Germany. th y I a\e ire.-^nted a demand aor 400 000 tons on the inventory e iabllshed by them. German experts have furn shed de aKs, which we will verify and which j give a smal.er figure. Consoquently I there will eventually be deducced :rom the 400,000 tons o fljating docks, cranes, iu^s and drcd'ers c'.aimed by ' the Ai.i.s a tonna^e of floating docks. which. ai'ter verifications, we will recognize as figur.ng by mistake on the in er-Ailied inventory and whic!i consequently does not exist. N'everthe ltss such deduction shall not exceed 125.000 tons. ,-ihe Allied and associated powers r.dd .hat the 192,000 tons propesed by ;he German government, of which a Iftti was handed over uuring t e de liberations of the ' t?chn ca. commis sons, mu t be delivered imme.liately. For the ba'ance of tl e tonnage, as j r<ha!l be determined by the commission "n rerarations. a delay will be allowed the German '_overi.mcnt. which cannot ex^ced thirty months for delivery of -he total amount.

The outstanding comment to-night on the ceremony is that it loaves the United States the only power which v.as actively at war with Germany not new on a peice basis. That was the no^e sor.nded b Baron ven Lersner in a Btatement immediate y after the cere? mony. ''?'xeevti-n of the treaty of Ver sail'es imposes upon German ? tho heavicst sacrifices over borne by a nation in modcrn times," said von lersner.

Ambassador Wal'ace caVed this decision of the council to Presi? dent Wilson, so the President might issue the formal notice of the meeting of the council of the league, to be held on the dste named. The first meeting of the council will be caUed to order and presided over by Loon Bourgeois, the representative of France in the council. He will deliver a brief address. Earl Curzon, the British Foreign Secretary, who will represent Great Britain, also will speak. WASrHNGTON, Jr.n. 10.?A'though President Wilson will call the tirst meeting of the league of nations. the United States wPl not be represented because this country has not ratified the treaty. The treaty provides that the first meeting of the league shall be called by "the President of the United States." our ardor for labor and production we hope to meet every emergency. "The recovery of our economic pros "e! Ity is as much to 'the intere3t of the Lntente as it is tc us on account ofI he great economii difficuHies that] '.hreaten all rJu^op,'. It '? obvious, j fipeaking chiefly o France that her eco- i nomic prosp >rity clnpends upon the eco nomic reco^ory of Germany." Barot un Lersner saiu he had had several vory satisfactory conference3 with Lou's Loucheur, French Minister of Reconstruction, regarding the re sumption of trade relations between Germany and France, and ndded that he hoped the European nations wo>k ing together would solve the groat econom'c prob'ems. The most thorny remaining problem appeared to von Lersner to be the question of the ex radition of a considerable numbor of German officers. ofiicials and soldieri to be tried abroad for cimes alieged to have been committed durin?j the war. Kopes Allies May Relent / "I do not want to givo up all hor>e," continued Baron von Lersner "thit ?mong the Allios the convic'.ion will finally preva'l that by availing them elves strictly of ri^hts conceded in the reaty for the extradition of those ac ??u'ed tvey may cause 1he gravest coti -. Miuences not on'y for Gernviny but for luiet and order in Europe genera'ly. We nointed out two months a?o very 'ra^k'y to the Allies the harmful con equences that might ensue if the'.r ?irrht 1o demand extradition should bo cxecuted literally. At the same time ve subm'tted written FUjrgestions for th" "o^tion of the de'icate problem. "The principal feafures of this ^roposition were that "Germany woul 1 undertake to arraign before the Su preme Court of Germany all persons accused by the Entente. would exeept i!l such from the law of amnesty and wou'd consent to th? presenca of rep resentat'ves of the Entente s<t the tria' "S public prosecutors, with fullest rlghts of control.

China did not sign the docu rrent, because of her objections to the Dhantung provisions, but proclaimed a state of peace with Germany. Demand Made on Germany The ail-important fatification by Germany was given on July 9, 1919, the day following wh'ch President Wil? son prcented the treaty to the United Stites Senate. The rr.aking of the peace which now becomes effective was begun shortly after the conc'usion of the armistice of November 11, 1918, which endod the great war. The Treatv of Versai les, as it has become kmwn, was signed in tue Ifstoric Versai.les Pa.ace on June 28, 1919. The long interval between the as semblirg of the peace conference at Versai es, on January 18, 1919, and tho signing of the peace treaty was occupied with a'most dai y conferences on its provisions between the repre sentatives of the nations which had been at war with Germany or had broken relations with her. the princi pal parts bein^ taken by delegates of France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States. The first important work comp eted was the drawing up of tho covenant of the league of nations, which was finished on February 14. The German representat ves were in vitcd to Versai les during April. after the draft of the t-rms of peace had been completed, They received the trbaty on May 7. , The treaty not on'y defines the terms of peace with Germany, but con tains the league of nations "covenant and the provisions for the interna tional labor organizat.on. The docu ment comprises fifteon parts, w th nu merous annexes. The treaty will enter into force for each power at the dato of the deposit of its ratification. In OcLober last a :unicient number of powers had ratified tiie treaty to coniply with the requirements for its effoctiveness. Because of the sinking of the interned German warships, by their officers and crews at Scapa F'ow, however, and the failure of the Gcr mans to live up to some of the arm's ice terrrs, the Allies on November 1 demanded that before the treaty waa put in'o r.Tect German:' should si'^n i protoco' providing fcr repnratlon for the de3trueiion of the warships and ?tuaranteeing the carrying out of the armist'ee terms.

Jan 10.?Senator Lodge n a personal letter, made public to day by the Massachusetts joint com nittee for a league of free nations, idvises those who are anxious for .jrornpt action on the treaty to direct iome of these sugges:ions to the Presi ient. The letter from Senator Lodge says: - '?The incesrant demand that is made in certain quarte s for further con? cessions by the Senate is not helpful to the cause of agreement, because the President has not only failed at every point to consu t the S_>natc in any way, but he still stands immovable in his demand that we ratify the leagrfe of nations without any change at all, which the Senate has refused to do. ,-It seems to me it would be well for those who are anxious for immediate oction to direct some of their sugges? tions to the P;esident and his foilow eis, whom he called upon to reject the rescrvations which are offered and which I believe to be absolutely sound in principle."
