DEMAND OF ALLIES

Paris.--Lord Hardinge, British am
bassador, informed Premier BRAND
that Great Britain Willingly agrees to
the proposals contained in the French
premier's latest note relative to troop
achievements for upper Silesa.
The British ambassador at Berlin

demand that Germany facilitate by all
possible means the transport of allied
troops across Germany whenever the
situation in upper Silesia renders 1t
necessary.
Marquis Curzon, British foreign sec
rotary, in the note which Lord Har-
dinge handed M. BRAND, proposes Aug

council.
Belgium, it was learned, will be In
vited to attend the meeting of the

The question of sending reinforce
ments into the plebiscite area is to
be settled first, after which the coun-
Gil will consider the division of the
upper Silesian territory as between
Germany and Poland.
