Spa. Belgium, July 13.-(By The A. P) A deadlock has been reached by the allied representatives and the Ger mans on the coal question, and Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Wilson, the all lied military chiefs, have again been summoned to discuss possible enforce ment measures
 The allied premiers, having been in- formed that the Germans were ready, called a meeting for 5.30 o'clock this evening. instead of tomorrow as plan ned this morning. The German reply was not acceptable and the summoning of Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Will son, it is understood, means immediate measures to enforce the treaty unless Germany modiies her attitude.
 The German foreign secretary said to The Associated Press:
 "The allies may, under the treaty give US an order concerning coal If they give an order, we, of course, would try to satisfy it but we do not believe we could That would not be voluntary cooperative arrangement"
 pr. Simons said The allies can oc- cupy the Ruhr or other territories They can send their own agents into Germany and probe the situation. They may fix any penalties we are not in a position to resist"
  the German delegation as it is tonight, but the allied ministers hope, before they take further measures, that the Germans may change their decision.
 Marshal Foch will leave Paris tonight arriving at Spa tomorrow morning, Field Marshal Wilson is scarcely expected 10 reach here from England before tomor- row afternoon or evening. The supreme council will meet immediately after their arrival. the German delegation remain ing here meanwhile.
 The German delegates after the morn ing meeting of the reparations conmls- zion when asked to amplify their propo- szi. sent a letter to Premier Delacroix ewing that it would be impossible for then, to be definite in their proposals un- ii the coal question was settled It ap- pearz that it is not so much question sf mining coal in a quantity sufficient to give soe, ,o0e tons monthly more than Germany offers, but rather the diff1cul- lies of the German government in hnanc- ing the delivery out of their budget
 Dr. Sfmons said late tonight that the c.srnans had nothing to add to their coal ,-ooositiou. He regretted exceedingly ne position taken by the allies and said fhst tfs Germans must simply await fur ther action.
 NJ AfilIerand, the French premier, re- r-ets that it Ia not possible for Germany fo eooperate with the allies in the 1execu- tio- of the treaty, but he is firmly re- soiyed to stand on the position now tax en up
