"The whole of both peoples is acutely concerned in the result," it adds. "We must, therefore, register a protest against the manner in which the nego? tiations are being conducted.

The denial that Viscount Grey and Lord Robert Cecil had influenced the council to modify its reply is declared 'o be partly untrue. "Verbal Quibbling" Charged "The Daily Mail," for instance, sa>s it is an open secret that the country owes a -lebt of gratitude to Lord Grey for his activities in the matter, and "The Times" characterizes the d< nial as "an example of veto;.1 quibbling which inferior intelligences mistake for diplomacy," and maintains that though it may be verbally true, it con? veys and is designed to convey what is untrue. Insisting that publicitj of the whole situation is necessary. "The Times" says it is right that the democracies on both, sides of the Atlantic shall be told the truth, and, asserting that this feeling is cherished much more widely ?n Great Britain than the Ministers seemed to suppose, adds: "We are not going to stand by and have our friendship and relations with America jeopardized by the proceed? ings of a triumvirat?; sitting behind closed door-3. The American democ? racy, we imagine, will not be less re? solved to assert their rights and stifle this effort at secret diplomacy." "The Daily Chronicle" also makes a strong plea for tue publication of ;he President's note. Both "The Times" and "Mail" again vehemently express anxiety lest the Supreme Council's actions imperil the relationship between Europe and Amer? ica. The former believes a direct agreement between Italy and the Jugo Slavs can be achieved, adding: "More? over, it has been almost achieved and then frustrated by the selfish intrifriies of members of the Supreme Council, who had an eye on their own domestic interests rather than the welfare of Europe. They will resist President Wilson at their proper peril over a question on which he is substantially right, for if untoward consequences follow their handling of a matter so momentous as the preservation of American fellowship in the affairs of Europe they will be made to bear ih<> full responsibility of their acts."

Germany Gets More Time To Cut Armyvto 100,000 From The Tribune's European Bureau (Cor.yrielit, 1920, New York Tribuno Inc.) LONDON, Fob. 18.?The path of '? making concessions to Germany, which 'the Allies entered upon with the al? teration of the stipulations regarding I war criminals, was followed again to ' clay when the peace conference decided 1 t,i grant Germany extra time in which I to demobilize her army. The new German Charge d'Affaires, 1 Herr Sthamer, was handed a note ! signed by Premier Lloyd George as i president of th? Allied Supreme Coun? cil, giving Germany until Anvil in to reduce the number of hot* military ef? fectives to 200,000 and until July 10 to make the final reduction to "l.OO, j 000, as provided in do treaty. Article ' 160, of the treaty, provides that Ger ! many must reduce her military estab? lishment to 100.000 by March 31, but .Mr. Lloyd George says this clause was inserted when it was expected thru ratification would lake placo at a dato ! earlier than it actually did. The Premier informed Herr Sthamer' of the council's now attitude as tho result of attention having- boon brought by the president of tho al? lied central commission in Berlin to the difficulties Germany would en counter if she attempted to comply with the order and the reduction clause were strictly enforced.
