10 De mounting guns along the East
russian coast near that port.
The recent note sent by the aII;as
10 the German armistice commission
at Spa regarding the landing OF Gen.
eral Haller's Polish forces at Danzig
did not take the form of an ultima.
tum as stated by the Berlin newspa.
pers, according to Marcel Hutin in
the Echo de Paris. The newspapers
however, declares that the allies will
insist upon the landing of General
Haller's troops at Danzig.
According to the Paris edition cf
the London Daily Mail, telegram
received at the French Foreign or
f1ce reported serious disorders had
occurred at Danzig, instigated bv tho
Fan Germans. The demonstration
are declared TO have ben directed a.
the interallied mission. Although nc

the Polish army to West Prussia in
the armistice agreement with the en-
tente powers. The reply says:
Since the conclusion of the armIs
tice, the entire situation in Posen
West Prussia and Danzig has entire
ly changed"
