CANNES, France, Jan. 11.-Pre-
mier Lloyd George is anxious to have
Belgium participate in the proposed
Anglo-French alliance, but will OPP
pose her admission so long as she re-
tains her military alliance with
France, it was learned this after
noon.
The British Premier has suggested to
NJ Jasper, Belgian foreign minister, that
Belgium return to her pre-war status
of neutrality. The military alliance with
France was contracted since the war
and at about the same time that France
entered into q similar treaty with Poland
Premier Lloyd George drew up the
preamble to the proposed treaty, stating
the conditions on which Britain would
enter the agreement and the price Of
Britain to guarantee the soil OF France
Great Britain refused to recognize the
German RhineIand as French soil' and
refused to guarantee the territorial in
tegrity Of Poland.
Mote: Poland is from three 70 four
times her pre-war size, having taken
territory from Russia, Lithuania, Hun
gary and Germany
The first British condition is avoid
snace of naval competition, an issue
which arose from Frances demand for
10000 tons of submarine craft in the
Washington conference.
The threat is made by Britain to open
naval building competition with France
II the latter nation insists on her sub
marine demands.
Another condition was that the French
agree to a majority rule concerning the
Near East and other foreign affairs.

meth. Mike Bisesi, who admitteJe pre-
vious conviction, was fined $500 and costs

he received a lighter sentence than BIZ
