PARIS. Jan. 6.-French political cir-
cles are making ready for the clash be-
tween French and British ideals that is
to come in Paris on January 10, when
q meeting of the Supreme Council Of
utmost Importance to all the world, will
be held.
German disarmament will be the first
subject on the program. 1t is under
stood that the French will begin ty
proposing to give the Germans three
periods of eight days each in which 70
carry out the Spa disarmament agree
ments. France undoubtedly would make
further concessions if nece Dsary, bue
her policy will depend largely upon
whether Premier Leygues still is IN
power then. He stands now in great
danger OF being replaced with more
energetic leader. His government will
be attacked in the Chamber Of Deputie.

be settled now without taxing into ac-

Since the Bolsheviki have taken over

France would have the Allies fight
the Bolsheviki in the Near East by

Who IS coming to Paris, is reported to
be anxious to persuade France to adort
his idea Of getting the Germans TO

taste for this proposal, preferring to
rely on the Poles, the Rumanians and
possibly other Allied powers.
