The Associated Press), Premiers
Lloyd Gedrec ami MJllerand will
sec Dr. Walter Nlnion, the ticr-
inan foroigln minister, iit seven
o'clock tiii. evening and band him
their icpl mi ihe coal question.

upon this afternoon, is virtually
an ultimatum ami the Germans
must reply "yes" r "no'.' by II
o'clock tomorrow morning as to
whether they win deliver ,oou,
VOO tons of coal monthly.
SPA, Belgium. July 15 'Ry The
Associated Press) The Germans have
agreed to thtj allied demand for de
livery of two minion tons of coal
monthly with three -new conditions, 'It
is announced.
Iho tiermai acceptance, was em
bodied In a note which was laid be
fore the allied premiers this noon by
I'remler Lfoyd George. The condi
tions were tnose:
First The German government to
have the distribution of the Sdeslan
COal, or be allotted J, 500. UOU tons
monthly for northern Germany .n
fdead of the present allotment of 1,
HOH.oOO tons.
Second A mixed commission to be
se.ni to ISssjen to examine tood and
housing conditions.
Third The allies arc 4o advance
money or provide credit for import
ing additional food for tho entire Ger
man population.
Foreign Minister Simons sent word
to I'remler Lloyd George about an
hour before the allied representatives
met today that Germany would ac
cede to the allied demand and that a
wMtten note would be forwarded Im
DU diately The foreign minister said
that by this means he wished to pre
vent the allies from forwarding tho
proposed ultimatum to Germany.
NO ALLIED REPL1 .
The allied ministers, up to short
ly alter noon, had not yet announced
whether the conditions were accept
able These Included a stipulation that
Germany must receive raw materials.
Herr Simons said this morning ihat
tho German ministry. In its decision
on the coal question, had one to tne
utmost limit oh the coal question and
could do nothing more so tht If the
allied military leaders, Marshal Koch
and Field Marshal Wilson, still Want
ed an Invasion of Germain, tlcy must
have It In a personal letUtq to I're
mler Lloyd George, tho foreign min
ister, ii is understood, set forth iho
German position In some detail.
Knowing the attitude of Premiere
Lloyd George and Miller tn.l, ho beg
ged them to help Germany to fulfill
her obligations by doing three things;
l.Mi THREE I hi
First Ly allowing German) the
cash difference between the price of
coal at the pit mouth In Germany and
the price ot coal on the world's mar
ket S'econd Ity making a generous ar
rangement with regard to whipping.
Third L giving German
securltv or assurance ntrulnxt ih,.
menace of invasion If ihe should at
,tn,v time be a little behind in her de
liveries. Herr Simons added In his letter:
"These are not conditions but simply
an expression of our hope "'
Taking up the German communica
tion at orue, the allied prime minis
ters disi ussed it for two hours arid a
iuarter, and then look a recess until
'a 30 p. m.
No announcement was made as to
the allied attitude with regard to th
German conditions but it was under
stood that tho chief question was
whether Germany should receive the
difference In cash between the price
of coal at the pit mouth In Germany
and tho world market price which the
Kr. nrh delegates, it appeared, opposed.
