livery by Germany of definite quanti-
ties of Preparations in kind.
Though the matter of the military
evacuation of the Ruhr is not within
the scope of the present conference, it
has been discussed there, and so M.
Herriot has proposed that as soon as
Germany accepts the experts plan and
fulfills the conditions, France will get
out of the Hagen district, and that the
other occupied districts shall be evac-
uated according to the speed with
which Germany fulflls her obligations.
If the other allies agree to this plan,
the process of evacuation would be
complete in about two years.
TIME allied military control commits
L sion under General Walch, who
succeeded General Nollet, last week
broke off all relations with the German
war department. 1t was asserted that
General Won Seeckt, head of the Ger
man army, had demanded that the
commission give forty-eight hours no.
tice before inspecting any German
military organization or plant, and
that the commission also post notice
at every place inspected that this was
the last inspection of the German mill
tary forces that would be undertaken
by the entente. General Walch was
ordered by the French government to
refuse absolutely all such demands and
to report in Paris. According to the
commission, the German war depart
ment has, by underhand methods, been
able to train officers and men enough
for an army vastly larger than that
allowed by the Versailles treaty.

the aviators flew from Brough, Eng

off the north coast of Scotland and
Immediately prepared their plans for
the jump from there to Hornafjord,
Iceland a distance of 500 miles. They
intended to take the air again Thurs
day, but the start was delayed when
adverse weather reports were received.
From Danish sources there were re-
ports of very bad Ice foes and huge
icebergs and tremendous ice barriers

COVLET Russia has almost given up
- hope of reaching an agreement with
Great Britain, but is still trying, having
now sent Joffe, it's treaty expert, and
Kamineff, one of the Russian big four,
to London. If they fail the Russian
government, it is said, will issue an
ultimatum to the British which is like
ly to result in war. Russia has &C
ammunition, obtained from Germany
and England, and may first make an
attack on Persia in order to involve
Great Britain. According to their
secret treaty with Germany they can
claim aid from Berlin any time up to
the middle Of August.
THERE is threatening, war cloud
i over the Balkans. Bulgarian ir-
regulars have been invading Serbia
and Greece and the Greek army is in
readiness to cross the Bulgarian bor-
der. Communists financed by Moscow
are doing their best to aggravate the
situation.
