By HENRY WOOD.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
PARIS, June 18-The Poles and CZecho-Slovaks will
Join the allies in throwing iron ring around Germany,
she chooses rather than peace, according TO
authoritative information obtained today.
Marshal Fochs plans in the event that the Germans
refuse TO sign the treaty provide for rapid contraction of
this ring, with the consequent overrunnng of Germany
from three sides The Poles would advance from the east
the Czecho-Slovaks from the south, and nearly million
French British, Belgans and Americans from the west,
while the north the British fleet would bottle up Ger
manys ports and complete her economic heplessness.
The greatest pressure would of course be exered by
the allied armies stretching along the German frontier,
from Holland TO Switzerland Opposed TO the combined
forces of the allies the Poles and CzechoSovak the Ger
could muster than half million in the
opinion Of French military authorities.
