adjust their differences anC
suppress growing jealousies
long enough to guarantee
the enforcement of the treaty of Yer
sailles. or will Germany be permitted
to continue to dodge stipulations sc
solemnly framed in the Paris confer

This is the question paramount OF
the moment 1t probably will be an
swered during the renewed sessions
of the allied supreme council in San
Reno, Italy. where premiers and
statesmen of the various allied nations
will assemble to care for the un-
finished business of the conference
But while settlement of the problems
offered by Turkey. Hungary and those
in connection with forcing Germany
to meet demands for reparations is
important. the future relationship OF
the allies themselves is of far greater
moment. for only in unity can any de-
cision reached to enforce the edicts of
the victors upon the vanquished be
carried out.
Filled With Suspicion.
The allies are going into the San

picion and jealousy. outcroppings of

were brought markedly to the atten-
ton of the world in the movement of
the French troops into the Ruhr
basin. France is suspected of trying
to obtain that which Clemenceau
wanted and did not succeed in get
whole left bank of the Rhine for
France. Great Britain, particularly
Lloyd George, who stood with Presi-
dent Wilson in the Paris conference,
thoroughly believes that if Marshal
Foch. the man behind Premier Mil
French policy along expansionist
lines. has his way. France would
seize advantage Of the disorganiza-
ton in central and southeastern Eu-
rope and build up an empire by di-
dect or indirect control that would
make Germany's Wanted Mittel-Eu-
ropean scheme pale into insignificance.
But Clemenceau was frustrated in
his aspirations to the left bank OF
the Rhine, and apparently Great Brit

again has prevented France from ex-

treaty, which prevents the sending of
German troops into the neutral and

that they are essential one to the 9TH

purpose than temporarily covering
the deep differences that are sure to
crop out when the policies of the two

Marked improvement in the handling
