Reply Ready This Afternoon

Spa, July 1.-THE German delegation
at the conference here sent word
to the supreme council this morning
that the German reply to the allied
ultimatum on coal deliveries would
be ready before o'clock this after.
noon. Germans are expected to ask
modification of the terms of the
protocol.
The reply was due at II o'clock
this morning.
From what could be learned during
the morning, the thing that was
standing in the way Of acceptance by
the Germans of the allied terms, was
the clause providing for occupation
of the Rhur valley, unless the coal
deliveries reached total of 6,00O.-
900 tons up to October 16.
DR.. Walter Simons the German
foreign minister, told his colleagues
when they met to confer over the al.
lied conditions, that this subject had
not been mentioned during his con-
versation with Premiers Lloyd George
and Millerand yesterday, when YER
bal agreement was virtually reached.
The Germans, it appears. were greatly
annoyed to find it in the text of the
terms handed them in the note OF
last night.
