PARIS AND LONDON

 COMPLETE ACCORD
By Assoclated Press

Paris, July 31.--The programme for the forthcoming meeting of the allied supreme council tentatively set for August 8, is likely to require con siderable further negotiation, since there is still a divergence of views the advisabil of considering now whether the allied troops ought to be withdrawn from Duesseldorff, Duisburg and Ruhort, in the area which were occupied last spring as penalties for Germanys nonfulfill- ment of the peace treaty's terms.
 Premier Brand is understood to favor limiting the work of this coun- cil meeting to the Upper silesan question, over the procedure re- grading which France and Great Britain have just reached working agreement. while Premier Lloyd George s said 70 prefer that all ques- tions pending in the relation of the allies with Germany be taken up These would include the subject Of reparation. in connection with the tentative accord for payments to France by Germany in kind, reached between Louis Lochieur, French Minister for Devastated Regions. and Dr. Walter Rathenau, German Minis- ter of Reconstruction.
 The Upper Silesian question will, according to the agreement between France and Great Britain, come up first, beginning with discussion of the reinforcement of the allied troops of occupation. Other possible subjects for discussion are the Near Eastern question, as modified by the hostili- ties between the Greeks and Turks; the Russian problem, the trials at Leipsic of the German accused of war crimes and the possibility of action by the allies in the view of the fact that the punishment meted out by the German court are insufficient from the allied viewpoint.

Riga, Letvia, July 1.-The task of fighting the present serious choleia a epidemic in soviet Russia is magni- fled in it's difficulties by the terrible sanitary state existing virtually throughout the country, says Dr. Y.

 Dirt in the towns is such that even in dry weather persons who are fortunate enough to have overshoes walk in the streets in them; sewer age and water supplies are in ter. ribie d.sregafr.s Dis Semashko writea.
 Added to this, says the doctor, is the mass migration. as if it had been maliciously planned, distributing the infection from one place to another for thousands and tens of thousands of versts, the starving population of the volsas moving to the south as an avalanche sowing on it's way in- lection and death
 'The cholera already has developed into big epidemic in the Rostoff, Volga, Veronesh and Orel govern ments. Scattered outbreaks have been discovered in the most widc- spread localities of the republic.
 Tn the Volga appears already the spectre of the cholera and famine years of tlS91-92. Those who have lived through those years. not to speak of those who participated in the fighting against the epidemics. feel their blood grow ice cold in their veins at the memory of it. At present every one begins to cross himself"
 Advocates Forced Vaccination
 Doctor Semashko says one of the principal difficulties facing the cam paigners against cholera is the un- controlled horde of travellers riding everywhere, inside and outside, on the roofs, under the platforms. and clinging to every inch of the trains throughout Russia. He advocates sta- tioning armed vaccination squads at every railway station to vaccinate every traveller and permit none to go onward without certificate that he has undergone this process.
