Paris. June e.-The movement to
admit Germany to the league of ma
tions is due mainly to the desire to
avoid the possibility of the forma-
ton of another group composed of
rival powers, which would embrace
Germany, Russia and the old Teu-
tonic group.
Fear Combination.
Evidences have reached the con-
ference leaders of late that influ-
ences are at work in Germany and
Russia to establish relations as a
basis for combination of powers
not. in the league. While not re-
garded as imminent, it was felt that
the danger of such combination
would be always present while Ger
many was outside the league, and
the admission of Germany, there
fore, was recommended as a means
of subjecting her to the same obliga-
tons as the, allies under the league
of nations.
This sentiment was chiefly ipstru-
mental in the unanimous decision of
the British, French, American and
Italian members of the league conf
mittee concerning the conditions on
which Germany may be admitted.
One. of the chief authorities said:
I'VE can deal with Germany bet
ter when inside than outside the
league. Outside, she would be able
to 60 her own way; inside she must
conform to the same obligations as
the allies"
The council spent the day in ex-
aiming this and other committee
repo: is. Indica tions were that the
reply to the Germans would be
ready before the end of the week
probs bly, Friday, when five days
will lie given for Germany's final
answer with respect to signing.
Five Days to Sign Treaty.
1t has been decided by the
allied and associated governments
that the reply to the German
counter proposals will not be deliv-
cred before Friday. June 13. The
reply will give the Germans period
of five days in which to accept or
reject the treaty.

morning considering the various re-
ports submitted by the commissions

proposals.
