San Remo April 2l.--The supreme coun- cil of the allies is fully prepared to exe-
 cute the Turkish treaty by military force
 If necessary. The council accepted today

 allied armies by Marshal Foch, F-.ssd
 Marshal Sir Henry Wilson. British chief
 of staff, and General Badogio Italian
 chief of staff, who were present at the morning session.
 Two hundred thousand allied troops now
 are within the borders of the Turkish em-
 pire, strategically disposed and these forces can be increased, If Turkish re- sistance develops formidably, to any es- lsential number Greece will probably supply the largest number of troops Supplementary naval plans were also approved by the council to which Baron Beatty comma nder ef he British grand l fleet. and Admiral Levavasseur, assistant to the chief of the general staff of the French navy, explained the plans in Nr-
 son.
 The treaty, which the council purposes l to finish today, does not include the final arrangements for mandatory states. They will simply be cut apart from Turkey and disposed of by the supreme council in the future, The council had determined to leave Kurdistan part of Turkish terri- tory for a period of two years, and then decide whether to leave 1t with Turkey
 or make it separate province under a
 mandate.

 late this afternoon. This session will
 also settle the future of Adrianople and consider questions relating 10 Egypt. the

 missions also was considered The qdAs- tion of Turkestan was settled by the
 council.

 Germany and how what is asked shall

 FRANCO BRITISH TENSION
 Tension between the French and Brit
 ish delegations on this subject has been considerable.
 The French are declared to feel deeply N-' IGermany's omission in fulfilling her treaty obligations. that Germany's retention Of war material obliges France to remain armed, and that the reduction in coal deliveries keeps an important fraction of the French industries idle They say that Germany during tf~ Hast nine months had indicated clearly to the French mind that she intends to do nothing she cannot be compelled to do, and that unless the allies sharply warn her and prepare to follow up the warning by forcible measures. Germany will de- fault upon the essential clauses of the treaty, counting upon escaping any fur ther penalties or upoi revision of the treaty greatly disadvantageous to the French.
 The British position is that although Germany mas defaulted in several ex- tremely important respects, and that she mrst be required to fulfill her obligations she can be made to do so without further occupation of her territories and by se- were economic restrictions. The British statesmen are understood to look askance on the French aims and feel that leadership among the allies is being disputed
