GEN. FOCH SENDS ULTlMATUM
Polish Troops Must Be Permitted
To Traverse Germany, Says
French General.

Coblenz.-An ultimatum demanding
the immediate continuation of the
movement of Polish troops across
Germany was sent to the German gov.
eminent by Marshal Foch.
Orders were issued at Berlin to

Traves; two at Ems, and eight in the
interior of Germany The transfer of
Polish troops from France to Poland
began about six weeks ago, and was
due to be completed soon.
A Berlin dispatch states that Math-
las Erzberger, chairman of the Ger.
man armistice commission at Spa,
had written Gen Dupont, chief of the
French mission in Berlin, declaring
Poland intended to distribute two di.
visions of Gen. Walters troops along
the frontier. 1t was said Erzberger
had protested that this was opposed
to the terms of the armistice and that
unless Poland abandoned her purpose,
Germany would be compelled to sus-
pend the movement of the Polish
army across Germany.
