journment of the meeting: 1--WE must
bear them with dignity"
Details of the last session of the
PREPARATIONS conference in London had
not been received here at midnight.
The last news received from Doctor ST.
mons indicated the German delegation
had prepared to leave London this
morning.
Members of the cabinet who were
willing to talk, viewed the situation
with a show of resignation, and de-
cfared nothing would be said or done
until the effect of the entente invasion
has been demonstrated practically.
Information was that Belgian billet
ing squads had appeared near Neuss.
Early last evening the government was
advised that contingents of French
troops had moved to the edge of the
occupation zone and were ready to ad-
vance, while others were coming down
the Rhine on river boats. Germany S
coal deliveries to the allies may be af-
fected by the present situation, it was
indicated here last night.
seize Coal Fields.
Altho entente troops may seize i'm
portant coal shipping points, they will
have to go still farther into the in
terror of the Ruhr district in order to
secure effective control of coal pro-
duction. No information had been re-
ceived by the government last night
regarding the operation OF the customs
barrier to be established as a part Of
the entente plan
President Ebert late last night is
sued an appeal to the German people
urging them to meet "This foreign
despotism with austere dignity" He
also admonished them not to commit
ill-advised acts and concluded his ap-
peal by saying: "Be patient, have
faith, for the government will not rest
until the foreign tyrants yield to our
rights
Germans Claim "Ambush."
1--WE were ambushed in the midst of
the negotiations by the declaration of
Premier Lloyd George that the pen
alties had been put into effect altho
the negotiations were still going on
and were based on the informal con-
ference held during he last few days,
one cabinet member stated after the
session last night. ''The entente's
procedure is not warranted by any
clause of the treaty"
None of the cabinet members ap--
peared to have any definite idea as
to the next move of the allies, aside
from invading fresh German areas.
The government, It was said, was GER
tain of support from the reichstag,
in view of declarations made last Sat
urday when all factions except the
went on record in oppos-
ing demands formulated at Paris.
