PARIS, March 30 By The Associated
Press> President Wilson and the
Prcmicrs, constituting the council Of
four, cave Marshal Foch instructions
to-day regarding the situation AT Dan
zig, where the Germans have refused
to permit the landing Of Polish troops
The nature Of the instructions will
probably not be revealed until they are
made known in Germany
A British Wireless Service dispatch
received day in London says that IN
addition TO reinforcing the garrison at
Danzig the Germans are reported to be
mounting suns a'org the prussian
coast near that port.
A rumci was in circula tion here last

"'rhe Iordcn Daily Mail" teieeran

reported serious disorders had oc
CURED at Dan4i., ins.i&ated by tn,
pam Germans. The demonstrations ar,
declared to kave beer directed at ah
intcr-Allied rlss;c,,. Altholgn no hos
tile action was taken against It, th
mission is reported to lave been vir4
ually storred from furc,iorlns, It
work being hampered ana it BEN
SC lated from .he Poles.
All the newspapers agree in the viev
that if it were established that VIC
lence had been employed against tn
mission an extremely critical situatio
would be created
The recent note sent by the Allie
TO the German armistice commissio
at Spa regarding the landing CT Gen
eral IIallers Polish forces at Danz
did not take the form Of an ultimatun
as stated by the Berlin newspaper:
according to Marcel Hutin in the "Ech
dc Paris"
The newspaper. however. declares th
Allies will insist upon the landing O
General Haller's troops at Danzig.
The military situaton at Danzi.
where negotiations are under way fo
the passaoe through Germany OF thre
Polish legions intended for service wit
the Polish army, is explained by nil
tary experts attached to the peace con
mission in different manner from til
explanation given in dispatches fro
Berlin.
Seek to Avoid Clash
1t is said that the German purpos
appears to be to direct the movemei
OF these troops so as 10 avoid unnece
sary change Of friction or hostile CO
lisions with the German popuace in tt
region to be traversed. Therefor
while Danzg was named in the armi
tice as the port OF debarkation be
adapted for the purpose. i is regarde
by the military authorities as on
prope, tha. the Entente commando
should not consider any proposition
the German authorities looking to Il
use of other German ports as vio
ton OF the arnlistice.
SO far as is known nothing in tt
nature of an ultimatum has been d
livered, and il is believed that the i
sue viii be settled satisfactorily wit
out breach.
One source o. delay has been four
