THE SENSIBLE WAY.

PARIS, August 11.

If the French papers can be believed the proceedings of the Supreme Council have been very lively. The Malin says that Bari Curzon and Signor Dellatorretts demanded the ending of allied military control of Germany. M. Briand retorted that with the League of Nations scarcely organized abandqument of the control would be premature. He asserted that clandestine depots of arms bad been discovered recently, also waggons loaded with material destined for Silesia, Marshal Foch declared that Germany had not merely retained military aeroplanes but had built new ones. Mr. Lloyd George intervened in a conciliatory minner, saying that it was more sensible to milk the cow thao to cut iững for beefsteaks, M. Briand replied that all he asked was that the cow did not turn its horns in our direction.

CABINET MEETING ON SATURDAY.

A Freach source declares that Mr. Lloyd George remcffed gráve news as regards negotiations in Ireland. The Sinn Fein reply envisages the breaking off of negotiations. A British source says that a Cabinet meeting on Saturday will consider Mr. De Valera's reply.
