the allies and particularly the French considerable
uneasiness and worry Since Wrangel's defeat, this
army has been supported by French government APP

whereby the army could be dispersed and taken care
OF in some way.
Some time ago the French government announced
that it could longer continue its subsidy and asked

they be transported to Vladvostok. 1t is nti-

IS IMPOSSIBLE
 SAY GERMANS
Whole German Cabinet Talks of Getting From Under the
 S56,0O0,O00,0OO Bill of the
 Allies-Reichstag Summoned.

Berlin, Jan. 31.-The 226,000, 0,O00,- 900 gold mark bomb which the su- preme council in Paris fired at Berlin set the German cabinet rocking when it landed.
 It is reliably stated than when For eign Minister Simons finished reading the translated document this morning he left the foreign office and went to the adjoining building to the office of the president and expressed to Presi- dent Ebert his earnest desire to retire from his post.
 President Ebert declined to consid- CT the wish of Minister Simons. He prevailed upon "his patriotism in the interest of Germany to defer any such action until a more comprehen- sive view can be had of the critical situation created by the separations demands.
 Simonds, who as secretary general Of the German peace delegation, headed by Rantzau at Versailles, re- fused to sign the treaty and resigned with Rantzau at the time, later took up the task as foreign minister to carry out the very treaty he had re- fused to sign.
 The cabinet convened for short  session at noon. The meeting was regarded as so important that Ebert himself attended, which is very un- usual for the president.
 At 1 o'clock the cabinet entered a second session. Word has come out of the cabinet room that the question of the entire cabinet resigning was touched upon, but no decision was taken.
 The government is today in contact with specialists in financial and in- dustrial circles, all of whom are said to have reported that the allied de- mands are beyond all possibility of compliance.
