ALLIES READY TO HALT
ANY MOVE ON SILESIA
Poles Report Messing of Ger

New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, March o.
From high military authority THE
NEW YORK HERALD correspondent this
afternoon obtained the information that
the Allies envisaged all the necessary
military precautions in the event the Ba-
varian Orgesch Civic troops attempt a
coup 'armes in upper Silesia on the eve
OF the plebiscite as Germanys answer
to the new occupation of the northern
industrial zone.
This would probably involve the imme-
date despatch OF battalions TO Poland
by way of Dantzig instead of over the
long and complicated railway journey
across Germany, although the military
observers have recommended the imme-
diata occupation of Mannheim as pre-
caution. the occupation eventually ex-
tending to Munich.
The Poles have reported the massing
OF German troops on their frontiers, as
well as along the borders of upper 81
lesia, the formations being composed OF
trains camouflaged as irregulars. al
though directed by officers.

London, March ..
Allied diplomacy to-day entered
what was known from 1915 to 1918 as
war Of attrition." The allied rep
resentatives after two conferences
| declared that the three sanctions de-
cided on IN the Paris and London
reparations conferences would be APP
piled against Germany until a settle
regarding not only reparations, but
disarmament and the trial of the Ger
man war guilty. was reached.
At the same time there came from
best informed German quarters a state
ment that the recall of DR.. Sthamer.
German Ambassador here. and other
German Ambassadors in allied countries
was far more serious step than the
Allies appreciate. The Germans regard
the enforcement OF the sanctions as an
act of war, and. while admitting their
own impotence TO resist such an ect OF
war, they are determined not to initiate
was reflected in news from Berlin, which
indicated that the entire German nation
was behind DR.. Simons in the position
he took here 1t Is the belief in both
British and French official circles that
Germany will suffer more than the
Allies under the present circumstances.
Germany is relying on the belief that
the sanctions (penalties) are actually
costing the Allies net outlay Of hard
cash, whereas they are meant as a
means of collecting hard cash.
Negotiations orr.
Both sides admit it will require
serious interval of time before their re-
spective beliefs are tested and before
any new negotiations will be either
opened or entertained.
One important development to-day
was q declaration by the French
Premier, Aristide BRAND. before the
conference and later 10 newspaper cor
respondents here, in which he denied
/ that France had any imperialistic am
bitions in any Of the steps taken.
The sanctions are merely method
OF enforcing the Treaty OF Versailles"
he said 1--WE wish publicly to declare
that France has no intention OF annex
I ing permanently any of the territory
4 involved"
This statement by Premier BRAND
! followed request by Premier Lloyd
| George for French assurances that
| France had no annexation Of German
territory in mind. The request by the
British Prime Minister was based on
comment by the French press that the
establishment OF the Rhineland customs
barrier probably would lead TO the Sc
cession Of the territory occupied by the
army of compulsion from the rest OF
Germany.
The conference in deciding to-day to
press the sanctions against Germany
reached an agreement to enforce Gus
toms barrier along the Rhine against
Germany Serious consideration was
given to means for making this tit in
with the American tenure of the Coblen2
bridgehead. which is occupied under the
terms OF the armistice agreement and
not under the peace treaty.
In principle also the Allies reached an
agreement on how the levy of the 90
per cent tax on German exports into
allied countries can be carried out and
