FRENCH WARNING TO BERLIN

BRITAIN EQUALLY

MILITARY MEASURES
THREATENED
Paris, Jan. 16.
A strong, warning to Germany to keep her hands off the demilitarised zone in the Rhineland, was given by the French Ambassador at Berlin to Herr von Buelow, the German Stere- :tary of State, in the course of conversations at the Wil-
belmstrasse last Monday, it is learned here to-night.
The French Ambassador declared that if Germany ul. Lempted to militarise this zone France would be obliged to take military measures of the utmost importance.
He also assured von Buelow that the Franco-British military agreement only concerned the Mediterranean Zone, and that there was no question of any Franco-British military agreement-contrary to the Treaty of Locarno.
In reply to the Ambassador's protest, von Buelow promised that the recent German press campaign against demilitarisa- tion of the Rhineland zone should cease, though the promise has hitherto borne no fruit.
French quarters understand that the British Government is equally disturbed by the German attitude with respect to the demilitarized zone, f -Reutre,

REAL THREAT OF NAVAL RACE
BRITISH VIEW OF IMPASSE

London, Jan. 16.-
Following to-day's decision at the Naval Conference to invite the Japanese to continue to attend as observers; it, was agreed that-the status of the conference would not be changed. The reason for this attitude was explained to Reuter by an eminent member of the British delegation, who said the decision expressed the hope that the conference decisions would he acceptable later to Japan, as much of the usefulness of the delegates' work depended upon the attitude of the Japanese * towards it.
He regretted the Japanese departure, he said, particularly as with a little less rigidity on the Japanese side they might have done good work.
The British unofficial spokesman declared the Japanese press had rightly emphasised that the country does not intend he "Nor does anybody else," to embark upon a naval race. added.
