ALLIED LEADERS
CONTINUED from page one.)

The peace conference has decided in
the opinion of some observers mere
that the time for argument has passed.
Germany must accede to the allied de-
mands or see the remainder or her
territory under allied military control,
they believed.
At the end of day filled with the
most far-reaching potentialities these
developments stood forth:
Marshal Foch, following conference
with Field Marshal Wilson of Great
Britain, had prepared plans for mill
tary advance into Germany. The
plans We're understood to include
triple invasion by British, Belgian,
French and possibly American troops.
The French government was report
ed to be considering mobilization of
it's aviation sections and younger
classes of demobilized infantry.
Dispatches from Germany reported
allied troops were being massed at
strategic points along the Rhine pre-
pared to advance toward Berlin, II
necessary.
Field Marshal Wilson was reported
to have offered the cooperation of
, the British fleet II the advance is un
dertaken.
The Matin reported movement of
| French artillery along the right bank
of the Rhine, declaring numerous guns
already had crossed the Kehl bridge.
The British government spokesman,
| Andrew Bonar Law, in a speech at
Glasgow, declared the allies will use
| tive if necessary.
PREDICT DRASTIC ACTION.
The press in both London and Paris
forecast drastic allied action IL Ger
many refuses to accept the protocol.
| In London a special cabinet meeting
was called for Monday to hear Field
Marshal Wilson's report on the pro-
posed military measures If Germany
| refuses to accede to the allied demand
| There was a decided tendency In
both London and Paris, to blame part
of Germany's belligerent attitude upon
the failure of the United States senate
to accept the peace treaty. The SEN
ate's action. in the opinion of many
has led Germany to believe she may be
able to secure moderation of the ad'
mittedly harsh terms.
