FEARS GERMANY's STAND
The conference eof the military and
navel experts continued until early to-
day when the allied generalissimo out
lined his opinions and plans in great
detail.
One of the chief fears of France
arises from the possibility Of an all
lance between Soviet Russia and
Germany The French fear that the
Germans may seek junction TO avoid
their obligations under the treaty and
also as a means of getting evense up
onthe allies for the loss Of the world
war. 1t is this fear which has led
Premier Millerand and Marshal Foch
20 advocate vigorous measures. even
to the extent OF armed Intervention to
save Poland
