night for Hythe, England. where he
will confer with Premier Lloyd

ton. Newspapers here declare Mar
shall Foch will be present at the
premiers' conference
Military aid for Poland. consisting
of one or two divisions each from
France, Great Britain, Hungary, Ru-
mania, Letvia and possibly other ma
tions, is one of the emergency meas
ures to be discussed by the two
premiers.
This plan. as we'll as other measures.
has been recommen nded by the French
and British missions at Warsaw. II
has been pointed out that Hungary.
particularly. can send good cavalry
into the field. All these divisions. it
is understood, would be fully equip
ped. and it has been proposed that
these reinforcementS take the Held
before Warsaw to defend the capital
of Poland.
French official circles, according to
the foreign office, consider the front
line now shifted from Poland to Ber-
lin, in view of the speech OF Dr.
Simons, the German foreign minister.
in the reichstag on Thursday. 1t is
believed in French quarters. it was
stated, that Germany is undertaking
the reconstruction of German indus
tries. such as the railroad. under an
agreement with the soviet govern
ment, but it was not thought that any
treaty existed going beyond such CO.
operation.
Germans Want Larger Army.
DR.. Geppert. head of the German
peace commission, delivered to the
French foreign office yesterday a note
relative to the organization Of spe-
tsial German military force in East
Prussia. The Berlin government, ac-
cording to this mornings newspapers.
announced that armed groups will be
formed in that province out of fear
of the bolsheviki. and that lin the in
| terests of public order" the govern
ment is obliged to take a hand in the
organization of this militia.
The note presented by DR.. Geppert
further recalls the request recently
made to the council of ambassadors
for permission to send German gov
ernment troops into the plebiscite
territory at Marienwerder and Alien
stein.
Editorial opinion processes to see
in this note an attempt by Germany
to take advantage of the situation to
violate the Versailles treaty.
Everything" says the Petit Pari-
sien. shows that an imposing force
will he ready at the German-Polish
frontier to hold up the hands of the
bolsheviki advance guards" x;
