FocH's VIEWS PREVAIL.
Military Experts Agree on Dis

PARIS, France, January 27.-Mili
tary experts of the allied supreme
council, under the presidency of Mar
shal Foch. have accepted the French
generals views on the German dis
armament program
1t is proposed that a large part of
0ermany's hidden arms must be de-
liyered to the allies Immediately and
the rest by June ]. on which date the
militia must also be dissolved.
The military experts. however. have
been forcibly reminded that they
have no right to concern themselves
with the question of penalties IN case
Germany fails to disarm.
1t is the premiers alone who can
settle this knotty question. concern
ing which a disagreement between
Lloyd George and NJ BRAND has al
ready manifested itself. ". BRAND
believes that a threat of strong pen
alties is the only way to make Ger
many execute the allies conditions,
and the threat to occupy the Ruhr
basin is generally considered in
France as the most effective threat
Prime Minister Lloyd George con-
siders that with the rehabilitation of
the armies the time Is past for further
occupations of territory, and that only
peaceful means should be employed.
He seems to consider threat OF
force as somewh-t ridiculous, and
counts wholly on persuasion, which is
the reason why he desires to invite
Germany into the conference. France,
however is so firmly determined that
appropriate penalties shall be fixed
that she will doubtless undertake the
execution of these penalties alone il 1t
