ENGLAND. FRANCE AGREE Procedure on German Reparations De cided New Penalties Discussed. London.—Great Britain and France have reached an agreement on how to deal with Germany to compel payment of reparations and exact guarantees. It has been agreed that the allies will make a declaration, but not to Ger many. They will announce that the repara tions commission will notify Germany as to the amount she is required to pay and how it is to be paid. The allies will then announce that within ten days, this period being subject to possible modification by the supreme council, they will proceed to carry out the penalties, if the terms are not met. The plan provides for supervision and control of Germany's sources of revenue It is not yet completed, but while the experts are working on it, France will proceed with all her mili tary preparations to occupy the Ruhr. This was the general result of an agitated day of conversations and con ferences. The agreement was brought about by the intervention of the Bel gian foreign minister, M. Jaspar, at the supreme council Sunday afternoon. The French premier asked for Brit ish naval co-operation, suggesting the blockade of Hamburg. The British premier replied that American public opinion would not approve such a course and he could not agree. M. Briand agreed to this point of view. He added that the course of the United States had been correct. Uneasiness still exists among French delegates over the possibility that Washington may endeavor to mediate; they declare this would not be ac ceptable. The French were not entirely satis fied with the developments and the idea of an ultimatum. M. Briand was averse to delay and it was understood he had undertaken that, failing Ger many's compliance, some move should be made at once.
