The Supreme Council reply to the German note points out that the offer accords with the expressly mentioned provision of Article 229 of the Treaty. The Alfes therefore accept the offer, but reserve the right to decide by results whether Germany acts in good faith and associates herself, in punishing u.e crimes committed. The Allies, however, intend to appoint a mixed inter Allied commission to collect evidence, in support of the charges against the accused, The Powers reserve the right to decide whether Germany's proposed procedure does not result in the accused's escape from just punishment in which case they will exercise their full rights by submitting the 'cases to their own tribunals.
VENEZLLOS STATES CASE.
PRESIDENT WILSON DID NOT "BUTT IN."
LONDON, February 16,
The supreme council at Downing Street to-day discussed the Turkish question, for which M. Vesezelas specially attended. He stated Greece's case, and also disputed the draft reply to President Wilson's note with reference to the Adriatic. The draft is not yet completed; the forecasts. thereof published will probably be found inaccurate. It is understood that Mr. Wilson's letter was not a gratuitous intervention but was in the nature of a reply to a note from the conference outlining provisional decisions and the reasons therefore..
LONDON. February 17.
The supreme council having fully discussed the Turkish question, the drafting of the treaty is now proceeding. A reply to President Wilson will be handed to the American ambassador to-night..

PRIMROSE LEAGUE RHETORIC.
LONDON, Feb. 17.
Speaking to the imperial chapter and ladies' grand council of the Primrose League. Lord Curzon referred to the League of Nations. He said in the constitution of the League they had set up machinery which could revise in
mistakes one generation the
of the statesmen of a previous one. There was something in the new diplomacy not found in the cld. In place of the balance of power they had the rights of communities recognised. In place of a competition of armaments they were endeavouring to establish reconciliation of interests. In place of ambitious rulers we set up the aspirations of peoples. In place of secret treaties, diplomacy would be more open. Alluding to the American situation, Lord Curzon continued that it was not our business to interfere in America's domestic difficulties but America had her difficulties as a member of the great fraternity of nations. Let us not say one word to aggravate them Nothing could be mere deplorable than that at the present moment America should withdraw her influence from the concert of nations We wanted from America that detachment from public opinion, that stimulus of fresh ideas, that inspiration of high ideals, which she had been able to communi- cate to this continent. He hoped we might still continue to receive the inspiration of those ideas and that nothing would happen to prevent America from joining with us in the overwhelming task of reconstructing peace and the stability of the world.
