ALLIES 'DEMAND
(Continued From Pago 1.)
be taken up Tuesday."
It -was officially stated that Ger
many must comply unconditionally
with the ultimatum or the military
penalties now being prepared will b
made effective.
The naval and military experts are
to report to the supremo council Tuej
day. Under the present scheme the to
tal indemnity amounts to 132,000,
000,000 gold marks, the interest on
which alone would exceed six billion
gold marks, a year.
From authoritative French sources,
I learn fhat the delegation from Pa
ris has no belief that Berlin will ac
cept, the terms, but that she will per
mlt the threatened occupation to take
place which would be almost as wel
come to France as would be her ac
ceptance of the proposals.
The Ruhr, in this event would be
occupiod by troops, a majority of
which would be French with a small
contingent of Britishers. At the same
time, England will engage in a naval
demonstration, which, however, will
not technically constitute a blockade.
The ultimatum probably will be
completed Tuesdny, and will be for
warded to Berlin on Wednesday.
Frencji observers point out that in
the present inflamed state of mind of
all France, the occupation of the Ruhr
is imperative. Lloyd George and
Sforza, it is reported, have agreed
to this procedure, provided such oc
cupation is only temporary.
It is possible, therefore, that. after
this movement has been accomplish
ed a second demand this time accept
able to Germany, will be made upon
Berlin, and the troops will be with
drawn. Tho political reason Tor this is ap
parent. Rejection of iBrland's scheme,
which had been carefully prepared
from a political standpoint, would
have meant the fall of the Brland
regime a highly undesirable event,
especially to Brland. As soon as tho
French desire for a military display;
therefore, is satiated, Briand will bo
in a position to accept a more mod
erate program and one which Berlin
would agree upon. Full reports of.
the conference which adjourned after
dance at the sessions. The conference
will be resumed at 11 o'clock Tuesday
mpmlng.
LONDON, May 3 The allied ul
timatum to Berlin, the terms of which
were agreed upon Monday by Premier
Lloyd George, Premier Brland and
foreign minister "Sforza, gives Ger
many 10 days in which to accept or
reject the entente's reparation de
mands. It provides, as well, for guarantees
of fulfillment and military penalties
for the nonobservanvc of its clauses.
In the meantime, the military ac
tivity which has been manifest in
France during tho lastveek will con
tinue until the allies are ready to
strike their blow at the Industrial
heart of Germany at a moment's no
tice. Rejection of the terms means inva
sion. Acceptance means that Germany
must present guarantees so solid that
if she fails to make good her word to
the allies, the mortgage on her indus
try can be foreclosed at once.
A difficult task confronted the "hi
lled leaders when they met Monday 1 yield, at last to the allied ropara-
morning; Premier Brland had, from, tlons terms.
the French standpoint, conceded an
important principle when he agreed
to halt the military invasion which
Premier Brland of France clung to
his hope that tho allies will support
fully his planned invasion of Ger-
all France was loudly demanding, and"' man soil
Lloyd George, who realizes that tho
general English public, particularly
labor, are against invasion except as
a last resort, had conceded an equal
ly important policy in permitting the
mobilization and threat of invasion to
proceed.
Therefore the phrasing of the ulti
matum necessarily had to be careful
ly done, in order that all elements nnd
all entente nationalities might be up
peased.
The ultimatum, therefore, 1b couch
ed in ihe strongest of terms and
would appear to permit no deviation
from its terms upon the part of Ger
many. It. must be accepted or Ger
many must undergo invasion.
