LONDON, Jan. S.--When the Allied
Premiers meet in Paris, January l9 to
consider Admiral Foch's report on Ger
man disarmament, there will be an
other clash between the French and
British governments unless Premier
Leygues retreats from his demand that
Germany be invaded to force compi-
ance with the Spa agreement. Lloyd
George holds that the Flench Premier
is taxing too gloomy View of the
situation and he believes that the
Berlin government is doing all toward
disarmament that reasonably can be
expected Of it. Under these clrcum-
stances, the British Premier Will not
consider the pcss lbllity OF the occupa-
ton OF the Ruhr Valley by French
troops Lloyd George thinks that the
failure of the Bavar.an civil guards to
disoand is not sufficient justification
for tke action proposed by LeygUes.
The British policy is to assist the
Berlin government in carrying out the
undertakings IT agreed to at Spa, and
nol to weaken It oy punitive military
expedition against 1t.
1t is recognized here that me
Bavarlan and East prussia1 civil
guards constitute sort of white guard
which might become the instruments
OF such militar!sts as Ludendortf and
General HOFFMAN, in any attempted
coup to restore the old monarchy, but
the British believe tina, the proper de-
fense against such a move would be
the Strengthening of the present gov
ernment.

in Bavaria is 20 pun.sn the peoples Of
