PARIS, March 20. Nogotlatl&ns be
tween the .Inter-allied commission and
tho German government's representa
tives at Posen-lmve again been inter
rupted. It 1b said that this "was the
result of,ihe jBvaalve atUtude of the
Gorman government; Despatches state
that tho German high command an
pears to be In open conflict with the
Berlin cabinet and will not undertake
to respoct an armistice between tho,
Germans and Poles. '
A decision In keeping with the sit
uation Is expected tomorrow.
Because of tho great number of
military nnd civil entente missions
which havo visited Germany since
November, the German cabinet has de
cided, according- to newspaper re
portal that no person from an allied
country will henceforth bo permitted
to travel In Germany without spoclal
permission from tho armistice com
mission. Marshall Foch and other generals j
woro called In during today s pro
longed sossion of tho supreme coun
cil to give tholr advice as to action
which should ha taken In Gallc'.a,
where Ukranlan forces are besieging
Lemberg, which is threatened from
three Bldos. It was decided that a
sharp warning should bo sent to both
sldejaskfng for a suspension of hos
tilities. Tho warning will take the
fbrtn''of an ."Injunction" to tho two
armies.

tho restaurant of a department store.
Yesterday Miss Garrison, the pollco

son Into the cocktail because of hor
infatuation for Storrs.
Tomorrow the girl will be arraigned
in.superior court. There was no Indi
cation tonight that she would attempt
to recede frpm fier alleged confession
or guilt, but detectives questioning
her during tho day were said to bo
working on the theory that she alone
was not resposible for Mrs, Stbrr'a
death. Miss Garrison,, however, to
night stoutly maintained to officers
and others that she alone planned' tho
poisoning.
Storrs Denies Complicity.
Storrs' arrbst ended p search for

Tenth avenue north. Miss Gnrpison in

see" Storrs!
"Will ho see me, and what will ho
say and how . will he act?" the con
fessed girl homicide asked over , and
i ovor nBa'n. In one form or another
last night and today. Her crime occu
pied no part of her thoughts, appar
ently; all she was anxious to know
was whether the man for whom she
had committed the supreme crime
would turn away from her, now. that
she had been found out by( the world.
"Surely Doug would stand by-me,"
said the girl.
