WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE French
Embassy to-day transmitted to the
State Department copy OF the note
sent by the French government to the
German government alleging violations
OF the Spa agreement calling FOR speedy
disarmament, and reciting other alleged
failures Of the Central Empire to carry
out peace agreements
1he views OF this government were
requested by the French government as
TO what action would be justified in the
event that Germany continues to ignore
her obligations. Particularly is the
view of this government sought on the
matter Of French troops occupying the
Ruhr Valley territory.
The French note to the German gov
crnment recites alleged failures to
carry into effect speedily tho obliga-
tions given at the Spa conference. and
Germany is informed that the advice
Of the United States is sought a. to
how the Allies are to proceed to remedy
the present situation.
Wilson Opposes Plan
The request of the French govern
mcnt that the United States delegate a
representative to sit with officials of
the other powers at the Forthcoming o.
Parls conference on the subject of Ger
many's derelictions probably will not
be granted, it was indicated to-day at
the state Department. It is understood
that the President does not look with
iaVor on the United States taking anv
acOive part IN pressing Germany to meet
Ihe rigid requirements Of the Sna
agreement in the same prompt manner
desired by some elements in the French
government.
PAKlS, Jan. 1.-THE French govern
ment has decided to insist upon strict
tulhlment of the Spa agreement con-
corning coal deliveries by Germany, it
was said in an official circular issued
day. The Eeparations Commission,
although not party to the Spa agree
ment, supervlses it's Execution and re-
Gently called the attention of the Ger
man government TO shortage of
ooo,oGo tons III deliveries up to the end
of the year.
The German reply, which has just
been received, says that Germany will
be unable to make up the deficiencies
in the ensuing three months, as re-
quested by the Reparations Commits
sion, alleging that the effect of the
large coal deliveries on the economic
situation Of Germany is such that
Germany will be unable to continue
to deliver coal even at the same rate
that she has been doing since August
last.
The matter now probably will be re-
ferrcd by the Reparations Commission
to the signers Of the Spa agreement
The French, it is understo TODD, will hold
that, the Spa arrangement being a con-
siderable concession from the terms
Of the Treaty Of Versailles, they cam
not forego to any extent the right to
their share Of the coal Germany agreed
to furnish
Bavaria to Lose Coal
The German government to-day in
formed the Allied governments that
the German experts would be ready to
resume the reparations conference at
Brussels with the Allies on January 25
The date for the resumption of this
CO!ll cTenCc was originally SCI lOI JAIL
uary 10, but Germany gave notice
early this week that her representatives
would not be able to be in Brussels on
that date.
Miners i'll the Ruhr district have de-
cided to deprive Bavaria of coal as a
step toward forcing Bavaria to dis
arm the civil guards, the disbandment
of which has been demanded by the
Allies, says q Berlin dispatch to The
Matin. quoting The Rhenish Journal, n
Socialist organ.
