LAND.

Paris, Nov. 1S,-(A. PD-The allied
powers, through the council of am.
bassadors, have informed Germany
that military control JWhl continue
unit the German government gives
the fullest satisfaction for fragrant
.yioations OF the treaty of Versailles.
The note was sent after the re-
ceipt OF German communication
which was termed "insolent to de-
gree bod.
In this communication Germany is
said to have asserted she was glad
to learn the allies were about to end
military control and permit Germany
to revert back to normal.
The note also ignored formal allied
complaints of the large number of
acts of aggression against the allied
military to their work of inspection.
Allies Demand Apology.
The allied note today demands an
apology and reparatons for recent
incidents at Passau and Stettin. In
requesting an immediate reply the
allies say their patience is about ex-
hausted.
The council of ambassadors Is
making another demand for the Ger
man naval enlistment list. which has
been repeatedly refused for six
months. 1t is said the allies suspect
Of enlistments and violating the con
ditions of training.
The allies have decided to warn
Germany that she will not be per-
mitted to manufacture new war in
ventions in which she Is said to be
actively engaged, but they cannot
prevent experiments in such inven-
tions.
Polncare View of Things.
Germany has worn out the! pa
thence OF her creditors" said Premier
Poincare in the Chamber of Deputies
today, and added
I'VE shall never get anything from
Germany so long as we limit our ac-
ton to prayers and applications.
Eve do not want to do anything
before conference which we re-
quested, and at which the whole
problem of reparations, interallied
war debts and international loans
Will be examined.
I'VE are agreed with BELGIUM that
the conference should be held In De.
cember at Brussels, and there we
shall meet not only British. Italians,
Beligians and Japanese, but all our
allies"
BIamcs Lloyd George.
The Premier explained the failure
OF the London conference as due to
the fact that Mr.. Lloyd George in
sisted upon giving Germany a mora
forum without guarantees.
I'VE came home with empty
hands, he exclaimed, "but we came
home with our hands free. If we
had not made use of that freedom 1t
is because we want to exhaust all
means of inducing Germany to rem
edy the financial situation which she
wilfully brought about.
France does not look forward to
measures of constraint against Ger
many with light heart. We should
much prefer TRANQUILITY to receive
what Is owed us, but we shall allow
no one to take out of our hands the
arms against Germany that were
given us by the treaty Of Yer
sailles.
Stand on Preparations.
"Whatever solution may be
reached, France can accept no rep
arations settlement that does not
recognize her position as the prin-
cipal creditor Of Germany. We can
not abandon or cede any pledges We
hold excepting to our own creditors
who would substitute themselves
for us.
The premier said France could not
abandon the Rhineland until she had
been paid.
He complained that he had not
had the support from the allies
which France was justified in ex-
pecting.
Though our claim was the big
gest, we have not had a preponder-
ance in the decisions taken. On the
contrary we have been obliged to
submit to a majority of the repara-
tions commission, on which we are
always likely to be put in the
minority"
The Chamber of deputies gave a.
vote Of confidence to Premier Poin-
care on the eve of the Lausanne
peace conference and after a month
of intermittent debate on the interior
and exterior policies of his govern
mentT The vote was 402 to II.
