The

on

in ‘he

a
telegram,
of which
a
copy
was

delivered
to the
Ambassa-

of the
Allies in Paris,
that
Marshal
Foch
was studying the military measures
which henceforth
could
neither
be avoid-

The
Note recalls
that
the
matter
cor cerns
the violation of
one
of the most

that Germany

itself
with the German
promise
to
with-

as

stipulat-

the
Treaty either
for
reparations,
the
delivery

the

In
the presence
of these

France
was
now
com-

say
it

Mr.
Clynes published
an
appeal
this morning
in the London

one

fresh
in
the minds
of
the people of
this
country
the
spiritual
ideals
which
underlie
the
Covenant
of
the
[(.eague

The
appeal
points out
what
the
League of
Nafions
Union has already done in its
education-
al
campaign.
[t
says
that
a
million
pounds
sounds likea
large
sum,
but if
the
British
people
do
not
support
the
League
of Nations
with
all
their
might
and
resources,
the
League
itseif
will
assuredly
wither
and
die,
and
if
the
League
should die dog, help our children,
for
no human
agency
can
save them from
calamities
to
which
those
of
the
late
war will appear
as the
mere
trifles.
