Paris, Dec. 5--Coercion is the only
argument likely to make an impression
upon the Germans and induce them to
sign the protocol of the peace treaty
according to todays newspapers. 1t is
said this conclusion was reached at
the secret session OF the council Of five
yesterday, at which Marshal Fuch WAS
present.
1t is reported that the marshal pudcr-
took TO execute the plan he drafted T. st
June, the mere threat of which brought
German plenipotentaries to Versailles.
During the meeting, says the Echo
de Paris, Premier Clemenceau and Mar
shal Foch stated that the unexpected
departure of the German delegates from
Versailles and the complicated points
raised by the enemy left no doubt what
ever about the necessity Of taking ac-
ton.
The Petit Parislen says that Germany
considers it has gone too far and that
an unofficial note has been received
from Berlin announcing that new nego-
tiations will soon leave for Versailles.
Field Marshal Sir Henry Hughes VIII
son, chief Of the British imperial staff,
arrived in Paris today.
The plan for action against Germany
drafted by Marshal Foch last June
mentioned in the dispatches, was ready
for putting into effect in case the Ger
mans had finally declined to sign the
Versailles peace treaty. 1t contem-
plated a rapid advance into Germany
from the occupied zone by the British,
American and French armies. A drive
Of from 40 to 60 miles in depth all
along the allied line was contemplated.
Cavalry was to have been employed,
together with armored cars, to pro.
tect the infantry who We're to have

CONGRESS FAILS
 TO ENACT BILLS
Remaining Appropriation Bills Fail to Pass Before Adjourn ment-TwO Bills Are Sent to White House.

Washington, June 30.-Congress failed today in it's aim to enact the remaining appropriation bills before adjournment and to recess until next Monday.
 Unexpected House opposition to the conference agreement on the $766, 6,000,O0O army appropriation bill, and obstruction by House Democrats to other measures forced adjourn ment of both the Senate and House until tomorrow after the Senate had listened most of the day to debate on the league of nations.
 With all the appropriation meas ures needed July 1 to provide funds for many government agencies begin ming the new fiscal year, leaders hoped to clear up all of the bills tomorrow and then adjourn until July ', when President Wilson is expected to arrive with the German peace treaty. ] Of the five money bills left over, the naval appropriation measure, car rying $616,0OO,OOO and providing a naval personnel of 10000 men, was the only one completed today. Con- ference agreements were reached on all others, including reduction of the sundry civil bill from SITS 100000 to $6O5, 100000.
 The House worked on conference re- ports all day, with several hours of spirited debate on the army measure, which was returned to conference with it's representatives instructed to insist that the appropriation for the air service be limited to $15,000,000. The House conferees previously had agreed to compromise the Senate's $65,000,000 appropriation for that purpose at $40,O0O,OOO.
 The Senate planned night session to carry through the supply bills, but i the handful of senators who returned at 8 o'clock agreed to adjournment upon learning of the blockade in the House, where Democratic objection to consideration of the sundry civil and the District of Columbia conference reports forced postponement of final action until tomorrow.
 Two important bills. the S26.O0OOo0 agriculture! appropriation measure, carrying the rider repeating the day light saving law October 26, and that ending government control of wires, expected to be effective July 31, were sent today to the white house.
