ALLIES ARE FIRM
WITH GERMANY
SUPREME COUNCIL GIVES NOTICE
THAT DECISIVE STEPS WILL
BE TAKEN.
MAY OCCUPY TERRITORY
In Closing Hours Council Adopted
Note to President Wilson Explain
Ing Cannot Adopt His Solution
OF Turkish Question.

San Reno, Italy.-The supreme
council adopted the Franco British
declaration with regard to Germany
after inserting a clause declaring its
readiness to take all measures, even
to the occupation of German territory
II necessary, to enforce the Versailles
treaty.
The declaration is blunt and to the
point, and completely dashes the ex-
pectations OF German sympathizers
that the rupture between the allies
would be widened by the San Reno
conference. Germany is told that fur.
Their infractions Of the treaty terms
will be intolerable.
Premier Lloyd George said that he
regarded the San Reno conference
as the most successful yet held by the
supreme council, and declared that the
measures adopted seem to assure a
restoration of order and peace,
In the closing hours the council
passed upon two notes to the Ameri.
can government, one explaining why
President Wilson's latest Turkish
note could not be followed and the
other on the Armenian mandate and
boundaries. A new note to Germany
was also approved. 1t will be com
municated by Signor Nitti, president
OF the council.
The text OF the common declara-
tion adopted by the allies at the close
OF the work OF San Reno conference
is in part as follows:
ut Germany has taken no steps to
determine, as was'provided in the pro-
tocol OF the treaty its obligations con-
corning reparations in order to make
propositions with the view of fixing
the total amount which 1t must pay,
despite the urgent character that a
settlement of this sort presents in the
interests Of all the parties concerned.
II seems to have not even considered
how 1t can meet It's obligations when
they come due.
'"The allies realize the difficulties
met by the German government and
do not seek to impose too narrow an
Interpretation of the treaty, but they
are unanimous In declaring that they
cannot tolerate continuation of these
attractions Of the treaty Of Versailles,
that the treaty must be executed and
remain as the basis of relations be,
tween Germany and the allies and that
they are resolved to take all measures,
even II necessary, the occupation Of
an additional part OF German territory,
in order to insure execution OF the
treaty. They affirm, however. that
they have no intention OF annexing
any German territory
AT the same time, the allies deem
that questions arising from violations
OF the peace treaty as well as from
the measures necessary to insure its
execution would be more easily solved
by exchanges OF views between the
chiefs Of the governments than by
note Thus they decide to invite the
chiefs OF the German government to
a direct conference with the chiefs
OF the allied governments and request
that at the proposed meeting the Ger,
man government present to them ex'
plantations and precise propositions
upon all the subjects mentioned in the
