LONDON, May 2.-The Allied Su-
preme Council, after receiving the re-
port Of the Council Of Foreign Minis
tiers, today agreed 10 the principle
plan of Foreign Minister Jaspar of
Belgium, providing that an ultimatum
be presented TO Germany, and for
military measures TO be used in case
Germany should default.
Events in the reparations matter
came rapidly after yesterdays con-
terence when agreements We're rach-
ed as the principle action TO be taken.
The Allied Foreign Ministers first
met ana compiled a draft of the ul-
timatum when prvided that Germany
be advised Of the Allies terms Of four
days from today and tnen would have
six days, or until May II, for an ar
swer without conditions.
II was stated that a British naval
demonstration would be one of the
consequences following the refusal Of
the Germans 10 yield TO the allied de-
mands.
Great Britain is TO make naval de-
monstrations if Germany refuses 10
yield TO the Allies conditions in the
repaIations issue, it was stated here
toGay. The demonstration, which will
not take the form of a blockade. will
probably take place in the North Sea,
il was added.
The procedure to be followed by
the council issuing the ultimatum TO
Germany is the subject Of comment
here. Ii was declared that ii could not
be sent direct to Berlin. Since Ger
many made her last peace proposals
through Washington, it was consider
ed possible that the allies would
choose the United States as
their intermediary.
Premier BRAND said today that it
would take twelve days to complete
French military preparations. "If at

not fully yielded to the Allies, the
