Nicolai Avskentieff, president OF

London, March (By the Associat-

German indemnity were broken to-
day; action comes tomorrow with the
march OF French. British and Belgian
forces into Germany and the occupa-

German course as strategy for delay,
and the latest plan Is one whereby
the whole treaty would have to be

years wncn Germany might hold a
more favorable position. DIR. Simons
