GERMANY TO SEIZE
FOOD OF THE POLES
Also Hopes to Regain War
Losses by Gains in East.

LONDON. Jan. l6.--The Germans have
determined to seize all provisions in the
hands of the Poles in Prussia II the
Polish provinces of Germany are to be
restored to Poland. according to reports
from an authoritative source published
in the newspapers to-day. All the par
ties in Germany are agreed upon this
step 1t is said. and 1t will be easy, as the
German immigrants in these provinces
have been armed by the German Gov
eminent.
Poland is regarded as even more i'm
portant to Germany than the left bank
of the Rhine. If Germany can keep
these Polish provinces, Chancellor Ebert
has said. she can increase her infiu-
ence to the south and east and one day
reconquer in the west what she has now
lost. This assertion was made by the
Chancellor at a secret meeting OF all
parties. at which he also stated that
Germany will reconquer the west through
the east
II. on the other hand. Germany should
lose the Polish provinces. the rebirth OF
political powers through pacific efforts
at expansion to the east would be i'm
possible.
At a secret session OF the budget COM
mission just before the signing of the
arnistice. the reports published to-day
say. It was agreed that the Polish prov
inces were not economically necessary
TO Germany. 1t was decided that the
public should not be informed of this,
but instead should be impressed with the
fact that Germany would die without
these provinces

PARIS. Jan. l6.-Marshal Foch. the
allied commander in chief, arrived In
Treves on Wednesday morning for the
meeting with the German armistice dele
gates for discussion of the extension OF
TIE armistice. The Marshal received
Matthias Erzberger and Gen. Won Win

The discussion over the renewal OF
TIE armstice began at once and the
hrst despatch from Marshal Foch
reached Paris last night. says Marcei
Hutin in the Echo de Paris. but nothing
has been made public as yet as to the
result OF the conference. 1t was ex-
rected that the pourparlers would be
completed by this evening.
Regarding peace conference publicity
this quotation from the Figaro may be
taken as a fair example OF the views ex-
pressed by most of the morning news
papers:
1.-THE public must be kept constantly
posted on the subjects dealt with. the
questions under discussion and the solu'
tons reached Reporting by hearsay
is certain to be dangerous VIII not II
10 obvious that the result OF the method
adopted will be to substitute gossip for
