.ENGLAND-FRANCE ON l
 VERGE OF BREAKING.
tContinued from First Page)

France is expected to ask that he choose residence in some neutral country not bordering on Germany.
 Premier Poincare's position in re- spect to the application of penalties upon Germany is thought to have been greatly reinforced by assurances from the little entente and Poland that they agree with the French at titude.
 The difference between France and Great Britain seems to be that France is insisting on what she re- gards as her full rights under the treaty. while Great Britain is dis posed to ask only what she thinks Germany can accept in view of the present difficult German internal sit uation.
 It is learned from British sources that the British point of view is that Half a loaf is better than no bread, ,' for the British feel that Germany again would reject demand for the complete resumption of military con- trol on the ground that the French and Belgian officials would be in con- stant danger in Germany and that the German government could not vouch for their safety.
 The British therefore are advocst- ing the temporary acceptance of par tisl military control as the most that can he obtained now.
 The British also feel that the i'm position of penalties would do less to guarantee Frances security than would the exercise of partial control.

About sixteen big league clubs were
