LONDON, March 11.-(By Brit
ish government wireless. THE
first sitting of the allied and Ger
man and arlnistice commissioners
to consider the transfer of German
merchant ships and revictualing of
Germany will probably be held at
Brussels on Thursday.
The chief difficulties so far en-
countered in consideration of this
question at Paris arose over the
method of payment. New pro-
posals are expected to be made,
however. to meet this problem.
1t is understood that payments will
come from three sources:
/. Products like coal and potash.
?. From credits which Germany has
in neutral countries. but which have
thus far been unavailable owing to the
blockade.
3. From foreign securities held In
Germany.
These three sources will WELD about
100. 100000 pounds sterling (s5oo .oOo.-
0OO) II is estimated. This sum is re-
quired to pay for the food that will he
needed to tide Germany over until the
next harvest
AS a result of the exchange of views
during the course of the former nego-
tiations at Spa. the allied peace dele
gates have reason to believe that the
new proposals VIII be acceptable. and
that German ships viii be available for
the transportation of American soldiers
back home.
Marshal Foch may not attend the
next meeting Of the parliamentairies
but all Of the other allied delegates will
be present.
