TROOPS OF ALLIES
MOVE into GERMANY
Fruitless Conference Signal
For Occupation Of
Deutschland

Brussels March I.-BelBlan neaVy
artillery has arrived on the Rhine.
The cabinet met this morning and
the minister of defense was instruct
tsd to proceed to London to confer
with the other allies. He was due
to reach London this evening.
II is expected that the Belgian
trops will move into Germany tomor-
row.
X Cologne, March 1.-THE advance
headquarters of the allied armies has
been established here. 1t is under
stood the allied cavalry will move at
dawn tomorrow.
London, March THE negotia-
fions over the German indemnity
were broken today; action comes to-
morrow with the march Of French,
British and Belgian forces into Ger
many and the occupation of large
section of her richest manufacturing
country. Even now the allied troops
are on the move, for late Berlin dis
patch says that French troops who
will occupy Dusseldorf has advanced
TO within six miles OF that city.
The allied ultimatum was foreclos-
ed apparently with reluctance by the
British prime minister. The French
do not appear regretful while the
Germans left Lancaster house, where
the conferences have been held, plain
ly depressed, to take their train for
home tomorrow.
Two long sittings of the conference
threshed out the final break before
Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Will
son wrote kilograms ordering the
commanders at the front to execute
the orders already given to them. DIR.
Stmons, the German foreign secreta-
nv presented an alternate plan where
by Germany agreed to pay the annui-
ties for the first five years demand
ed in the Paris plan. and also the
equivalent OF the proposed IL per
cent tax on exports. but chung to the
conditions for the retention OF Up
per Silesia and worldwide freedom
of German trade.
Necessity Is Deplored.
Mr.. Lloyd George, delivering judy
ment for the allies, said they deeply
deplored the necessity of the decision
while DIR. Simons chung to the last to
the contention that the Paris demands
were impossible for Germany to full
fill. The allies regarded the German
course as strategy for delay, and the
latest plan as one whereby the whole
treaty would have to be reconsidered
and debated after five years, when
Germany might hold a more favor
able position. DIR. Simons finally
asked for further time in which to
consult the German cabinet. This was
denied.
The French army will furnish the
bulk of the forces for the new march
into Germany. Great Britain's con-
tribution in men will be only large
enough to show her solidarity with
the allies, who wait with the deepest
interest for any sign from Washing
ton of the American governments at
titude toward the new enterprise.
England Feals Relieved.
:. The general feeling in England APP
pears to be one of relief without en-
thusiasm. The prime minister ex-
planned the position in the House of
which there was no note of tubiia- |
ton. The majority of English news
papers have taken the line that the !,
most important point involved was
that the allies should stand together.
while the French >press has freely
voiced its fears that Lloyd George :
might desert France All recognized
that IL NJ. BRAND returned to Paris
bearing the burdens of concession
to Germany his premiership was
doomed.
