ARMIsTICE IS OFFERED

SPA. Belgium. July 12-Marshal Foch
has been instructed to mobilize ayailaoIe
allied forces for possible Intervention De
tween the Poles and bolsheyiki in event
the Moscow government refuses to accept
the proposal Of the conference here for
an armistice, it was learned on good
authority today.
Should the red forces continue their
advance into Poland the allies will give
every aid TO the Polish troops behind
the armistice line fixed by the peace
treaty.
Allied military assistance to Poland
hinged on whether the soviet armies
would withdraw TO this line or continue
their progress toward Warsaw.
Belief prevailed here that the Moscow
government would order the red troops
TO halt at the Polish boundary.
Polish Premier Grabski, who made a
strong appeal to the allies for such
action, admitted that Polish resistance
on the left, center and right, had broken
down and that it was a question Of
bullish force before the soviet armies
might taSe Warsaw.
The allied armistice proposal was the
result Of Grabski's appeal for aid.
No ACTION
UNTIL REPLY MADE.
The conference here will take no fur
ther action in the Polish situation until
a reply has been received from the Mos
COW government.
The coal and reparations questions
were to be discussed at today's meeting
The German delegation was to submit

IL O'Clock.
Lloyd George was confined to his bed

experts had reached an agreement on
most issues relative to coal deliveries,
but that they could not agree on the total
tonnage.
The allies required 100000 tons an
nuaIly.
The German delegation took a more de,
termined stand on the coal question than
they have assumed since the beginning
Of the conference.
Premier Millerand insisted on fulfill
ment of the letter OF the peace treaty,
citing the penalty OF occupation Of the
Ruhr district.
The German proposal in regard to
payment of indemnities was submitted
to the allies, after Herr SimOns, the
German foreign minister, had protested
that no reParations plans could be con-
sidered until the coal question had been
disposed Of

tested that Germany already had paid
more than the 2O,OOO,OOO,OOO gold marks
as required by May. 1921.
WISH 1T SPREAD
OVER THIRTY YEARS.
The Germans proposed that the total
amount Of reparations be spread over
thirty year period.
II was understood the allies now IA
vored a reparations plan calling for a
lump sum, without Interest.
The German proPosal will require con-
siderable time for study by the allied
experts, and this will provide the delay
which the Germans sought before going
before the people with the result OF
the reparations discussions.
The allied premiers approved the draft
Of the Turkish peace treaty, with slight
notifications, which will be presented to
the Constantinople government with an
ultimatum demanding that the document
be signed within ten dayG Of presenta-
ton.
No important changes were made in
the Turkish treaty.
The premiers also discussed the Danzig
question.
II was decided that transport arrange
Iaelts should be managed by join, COM
missioa of Poles and representatives Of
the city OF Danzig with a Chairman So
lected by and representing the league Of
nations.
