Both Sides Prepare for Failure
10 Sign Treaty
GEN. FoCH HAS HIS PLAN
War Material Removed From Terri
tory Beyond Occupied Area
Troops Withdrawn From
Allies Hridpeheads.

PariS.--Marehal FOcn anu General
Weygand had two conferences with
Premier Clemenceau at which they
discussed the question of an immedi-
ate resumption of hostilities and con-
certed.. advance by the Allies, says
Marcel Hutin in the Echo de Paris.
The general opinion is, the writer
adds, that Count Won Brockdorf-
Rantzau has committed himself too
far to be able to sign the treaty.
1t also is believed that the Scheide-
mann ministry will be swept away
to make room for ministry Of mod
crate Independent Socialists which
will be Joined by Matthias Erzberger,
chairman of the German Armistice
Commission. This ministry, it is de-
clared, would be disposed to accept
the Allied conditions, which it prob
ably would be about July /.
Coblenz.-The movement Of war ma
terial by the Germans from territory
beyond the occupied areas continues,
according to German newspapers. The
beginning of this, withdrawal was
made several weeks ago, when there
was a hitch in peace negotiations.
The withdrawal of troops from vari-
GUS sectors opposite the Allies bridge
heads is also reported.
Several days ago the removal Of
material from the Frankfort area be-
gan. The most Of this material is
going in the direction Of Cassel, but
there are NO indictions that it Is be-
ing unloaded there, that city being
on line over which the Americans
would advance should the Allies be
ordered to move further into Ger
many. Beyond the Coblenz bridge
head much war material has been
withdrawn for a distance OF more
than sixty miles: In the Ruhr dis
trict the military retirement is vir-
tually complete.
According to German newspapers,
industrial plants, banks and civilians
east Of the Allies bridgeheads are
making preparations for eventualities
In case Allied forces move eastward.
It is reported that schools have post
poned examinations, which were
scheduled for this week.
Regarding the withdrawal of troops
and war material from Westphalia
as precaution in case the peace
negotiations should fall, the West
phalian Gazette of Bielefeld says:
"All military property in Elberfeld,
Dortmund, Essen and neighboring
towns is being taken to Senne, a
great military depot near Paderhorn.
In the Ruhr district all steps are
being taken in anticipation of pos
sible occupation. Even examinations
set for this week in schools OF the
various villages east of the occupied
zone have been postponed so that the
boys can have ample time to escape
internment. The City of Duisburg has
paid its employees until October. The
great industries and banks and other
business houses have taken all neces-
Eary measures.
"The aviation school in Paderborn
has been moved to Gotha, the large
training camp in Sennelager is empty
OF soldiers, and meanwhile, for the
maintenance of order the Lichtshlag
Corps is in Soest and the Froenden-
berg corps quite distance from the
neutral zone"

that the return of a state Of peace

freedom from burglaries and armed
attacks on persons. Such crimes are
now alarmingly on the Increase.
The other day an armed attack was

Then there was a robbery at Havre,

AS might be expected, there was

During it all one man sat still. giving
not the slightest indication of Whist he
thought of the thing. After about

Now, Mr.. Chairman, that's the
case here. This German guy is just
around the corner. If we keep one
hand on our wads he'll get us and our

we'll save the wads and get him. IN

speech settled the question. and all
the way was left clear to US to weed
all the men out of industry that might
be needed.
Fortunately, as IT happened, we
did not need to dilute labor, but
