Berlin Report Says Senti-
ment Drifts to Accept
ance Of Ultimaturn.
WOULD CURB POLES
French and English Leaders De-
clare German Aid Not Need
ed on Polish Frontier.

Berlin-Sentimen in German po-
litical circles showed drift at noon
today in favor of agreeing to the al
lied reparation terms. 1t is now be
lieved parliamentary coalition which
will accept the allied ultimatum would
be constituted within the next twenty
four hours. Germany has until mid
night Of May 18th to consider the al
lied terms. By the expiration of this
time, she is required to give a cateCor-
ical ansWer-yes or no-whether she
will accept these terms. Failure 20
accept will be followed by allied occu-
patton of the industrial region of the
Ruhr valley, for which allied military
preparations are now in progress. The
terms the Germans are asked to accept
include as the main feature the pay
ment Of 100000 5000 gold marks in
PREPARATIONS to the allies, or approx
mately $33,75O 100000. Meanwhile the
German cabinet of Chancellor Fehren-
bach, with DR.. Walter Simons as for
eign minister, has resigned, holding
over temporarily pending the forma-
ton of a new ministry and the Ger
man political leaders are being kept
in almost constant consultation over
the problem of constituting a ministry
and reaching decision as to just
what attitude Germany shall adopt to-
ward the allies.
No Need of Outside Help
France today replied to the
note which Germany last week ad-
dressed to the allies in which attention
was called to the Polish insurgent
movement in Upper Silesia. The reply
assures Germany that the allied forces
in the district have no need of outside
help. 1t points out that troubles were
&ue, at least in part, to false rumors
that the mining district had been
awarded to Germany and it states that
the allies are doing their full duty
under the circumstances and already
are re-establishing order.
Bavaria Must Disarm.
Paris.-The army contingent of 1919,
called to the colors in connection with
the preparations for the possible occu-
patton of the Ruhr valley, will not be
sent home before July, it was said to-
day in official circles. Even if the
Germans accept the allied ultimatum,
the troops will be .ald in readiness
for action in case Bavaria does not
disarm before June 3Oth, the time
limit fixed by the allies for completion
of the disarming process, it was stated.
The contingent of 1921 will by that
time have been sufficiently trained to
take the place of the older class, it is
considered, and the 1919 class should
then be demobilized.
LIoyd-George States Position.
London Premier Lloyd-G George in
responding in the house of commons
today to questions regarding the Up
per Silesian situation and its possible
effect on the German answer to the
allied demands, said that while he
might not be prepared to agree with
the contention that Germanys answer
would necessarily be influenced by the
Silesian trouble, yet it was very un-
fortunate that this incident should
have arisen at the moment when Ger
many was deciding as to the disarma-
ment demands. Asked if Great Britain
could not do more towards settling the
trouble by influencing the Polish gov
eminent the prime minister said, eve
are doing everything in our power to
bring such pressure as we can on the
Polish government"
