LONDON CONFERENCE.
ALLIES PREPARED FOR ALL CONTINGENCIES.
COERCIVE MEASURES CONSIDERED.
LONDON, February 27. Although to formal conferences have been held since Saturday, the conference members during the week-end, were by no means idle. A sumber of sectional meetings of individual delegations are to-day threshing! out details of the questions that bave arisen during the past week and are likely to arise in the future. Up to the present no meeting has been arranged for to-morrow. The lull will probably not be broken until the Greek and Turkish delegations have received replies from, their Govern ments. Mr. Lloyd George, M. Briand, Lord d'Abernon, Marshal Foch, and others confered for an hour this evening at Chequers, after which Mr. Lloyd George declared: "We are prepared for all contingencies."

LONDON, February 27. A Havas correspondent at Chequers states that Mr Lloyd George and M. Briand, in the course of conversations with Marshal Foch, co- sidered the sanctions to be enforced against Germany in the event of Ger- mary's not accepting the conditions of the Paris agreement. The Premiers were agreed with regard to the necessity of summoning a commission of experts with a view to considering the enforcement of the sanctions de-- cided by the Paris conference,
General Nollét, president of the inter-Allied Control Commission has arrived in London to attend the conference.
PARIS, February 27.
Speaking in the Chamber of Deputies, the War Minister, M. Barthou, stated that the mobilized first contingents were intended to safeguard! France's security. They would also enable her to bring pressure to bear apon adversaries attempting to escape their obligations. All material and equipment needed were ready Vale
EIGHTY GERMANS ARRIVE.
ཎྜ
LONDON, February 28, With the arrival in London of the German Foreign Minister, Herr von Simons with a party of some 80 Germans, including a score of news- paper correspondents, who will be housed at the Savoy Hotel at the British Government's cost, practically all the participants in the fateful reparations conference are now on the spot. The German delegates in- clude General von Seckt, the War Minister, Herr Schroeder, Finance Minister, Herr vor Lessere, Minister of Economics, and Herr Bergmann of the Reparations Commission. It is reported fruin Berlin that Herr von Simers comes with limited powers and cannot pledge Germany to any given course off his own bat but at each step will telegraphically seek the sanction of his Cabinet who will be in something like a perpetual session for the purpose.
" WHAT WILL GERMANY DO?
There is great secrecy in Berlin with regard to the German counter proposals but the favourite report at present is that cabled on February 27, that Germany will offer a total indemnity of £7,500,000,000 spread over thirty years. It is ako rumoured in Paris that the principle of the German counter proposals will be raised on banding over to the Entente a certain pertentage of the shares in German industrial concerns.
"GERMANY WELL ABLE TO PAY.
1
While the Germans were coming to London the Entente chiefs have been conferring at Chequers in almost summerlike weather with apparently very satisfactory results, judging by Mr. Lloyd George's declaration We are prepared for all contingencies" Whilst the Germans will have an opportunity of proposing methods of payment of the indemnity, there seems little chance of their being able to secure any material reduction of the indemnity if the second report of the economic experts at the Brussels conference now issued be any criterion. This gives weighty reasom why Germany is well able to pay and points out that her actual economic situation is better than that of any other Continental State. Her industrial plant is undamaged and she has very little foreign | indebtedness. The low exchange value of the mark greatly favours her foreign trade. Disarmament will immensely relieve her fiances and the abolitlen of conscription,will greatly increase her productive manpower.
