Plan known Today
Continued from Pace Onel

The plan provides for comprehen-
sive scheme of supervision and con-
troll of Germany's sources of revenue.
1t is not yet completed, but while the
experts are still working on it France
will proceed with all her military
preparations for the occupation of the
Ruhr. The French government will
tomorrow order the mobilization of
one additional class.
This is the general result of an agi-
tated day of conversations and con-
ferences that seemed likely to end in
sharp disagreement among the Allies.
The agreement was brought about by
the intervention of the Belgian for
eign minister Mr.. JaSpar. at It meet
ing of the supreme council this after
noon. The whole subject will come
up for discussion again at another
meeting of the council tomorrow morn
ing.
Both sides feel that they measur-
ably succeeded in having their poll
cies accepted. The French parliament
is not in session. so NJ. BRAND was
able to accept a short time extension
without having TO. explain to the
chamber forthwith, while Mr.. Lloyd
George has satisfied to some degree
opposing Liberal opinion.
The French premier asked for Brit
ish naval cooperation, suggesting the
Blockade of Hamburg The British
prime minister replied that American
public opinion would not approve of
such course, and he could not agree
to a blockade which would bring the
Allies into controversy with the Unit
ed States. M. BRAND agreed to this
point of view. He added that the
course of the United States had been
absolutely correct.
Uneasiness still lexists among the
French delegates over the possibility
that Washington may endeavor to me-
date; they declare this would not be
acceptable to them.
The cause of this impression is not
clear, but some of the delegates have
made it understood that it does not
NJ. JuSserand.
M. BRAND ana the wifOIe french del
egation are sitting late tonight with
General Nollett, president of the inter-
allied commission, who was summoned
by the French premier from Berlin to
give his views. Notwithstanding the
agreement the French are not entirely
satisfied with today's developments and
the idea of an ultimatum; which is be-
lieved to have been largely due to the
fuence of the British Ambassador to
Germany, Lord DAbernon. M. BRAND
was averse to delay and it Is reported
| that he had undertaken that, failing
Germany's compliance, some move
should be made today
Indeed, the French premier had de-
clared before the meeting of the coun-
Gil:
II am decided upon the commence
ment of new penalties from today. I
mean by this that the necessary order
for mobilization will be given this eve
ming. Such is my position. I can not
act otherwise"

Right of way in the Senate this
week is to be given the emergency
tariff and immigration restriction
bills. Chairman Penrose of the fl
nance committee, has given notice
that he will call up the tariff bill to-
morrow or Tuesday. Although he
hopes for passage of the bill this
week, other leaders predict two or
more weeks of debate. Little discus
sion fthe immigration bill is ex-
pected and leaders plan to send it to
conference early this week, possibly
by it's passage tomorrow.
The army appropriation bill liking
thhe size of the regular establish
ment for the new fiscal year, prop
ably will be passed by the House on
Tuesday, with further fighting sched-
uJed between advocates of an army
