unqueStionably send strong note to
Germany. putting the allies on rec
ord as harmoniously demanding and
insisting upon her disarmament and
threaten virtual blockade if the
Versailles terms are not lived up to,
this will be followed by radical re-
vision OF the whole peace treaty, in
volrinS liberal concessions to Ger
many. compromise will be finally
drafted with regard to tho Ruhr
region, and both France and Germany
will be satisfied.
At the end OF the first day or its
deliberations. the council drafted a
reply to President Wilson's recent note
on the Turkish peace treaty to cer-
tain clauses OF which tho President
had objected.

plains that American nonrepresenta-.
tion ut the San Reno conference Is
delaying the Turkish settlement. as
sorting that Americas assent Is neces.
sary to render the treaty operative.

France. and Nitti. of Italy. Just be-
fore the meeting. and Lloyd George
and Millerand walked along tho
beach late today after the meeting
chatting cordially. =
Milierand. 1t ls understood, is try..
Ing to impress upon his British and
lta!ian confrcres the necessity of
adopting a united firm front toward
iermany. especially on the question
OF that country's disarmament. ex-
pressing the fear that unless drastic
action is taken Germany will con-

Versailles pact. nc
Lloyd George and Nitti, on fha
osher hand. are seeking to impress
the French Premier with the neccs-
sity or France agreeing that coercion
OF Germany by cutting Off supplies
and not BY military action is the
proper solution but Millerand insiafa
upon crushing any revival OF Junk
erism with prompt and united armed
force.
