100000 tons OF coal monthly under

minor conditions. She also stipulated
that she must receive raw materials.
The German acceptance was em-
bodied in q note which was laid be-
fore tho allied premiers this noon by
Premier Lloyd George. The essential
conditions. named weA these:
/. Tho German government to have
the distribution of the silesian coal.
or be allotted 100000 tons monthly
for northern Germany instead Of the
present allotment ofg 100000 tons.
2. "A mixed commission to be sent
to Essen to examine food and hous-
ing conditions.
s.. The allies are asked to advance
money or provide credit for importing
additional food for the entire Ger
man propulation.
Foreign Minister Simons sent word
to Premier Lloyd George about an
hour be.ore the allied representatives

cede TO the allied demands, and that
q w.ttten note would be forwarded
imm6diately. The foreign minister

In this letter Herr Simons re-
counted that. he had been told yester-
day by tho British premier that II he
were q German statesman, heS would
take tho risk OF accepting the allied
terms. The foreign minister had ta
ken the risk. he said, and would have
to take the consequences. Knowing
the attitude OF Premier Lloyd George
and Millerand. however. he begged
them to help Germany to fulfill her
obligations by doing three things:
I. BY allowing Germany the cash
difference between the price OF coal
at the pit mouth in Germany and the
price OF coal on the worlds markets.
g. BY making a generous arrange
ment with regard to shipping.
y s.. BY giving Germany some secur-
ity or assurance against the menace
