accused of violations of the laws of
war must be reduced if the collapse of
the Berlin government was to be
avoided We're discussed by a commits
sion which met here this afternoon,
according to an official announcement
With the disarmament question def
initely disposed of by Germany's ac-
ceptance of the allied ultimatum or
dering the treaty terms fulfilled within
six months, the matter of coal deliv-
cries stood first on the program of the
conference between allied and German
representatives today.
Lloyd George has notified the Ger
man delegation that Germany must
recognize the right of the allies to
priority in deliveries of coal. Ger
many must consent to establishment
of a permanent allied coal commission
which will function at Berlin to keep
track of all coal movements in Ger
many.
Promises Only Half Kept.
Premier Minerand declared that up
to June 1 Germany had delivered
only 81 per cent of the coal required
under the peace treaty.
The French premier declared

mission. Herr Simons said a reply

shipments from the mines have beon
1.245,0O0 tons a week below the re
quirements. making a total shortage
