FIRM ATTITUDE OF THE FRENCH.
GERMANY HOPES TO PANIC ALLIES. , Received June 16, 10 p.m. Paris, June 10. Something approaching a deadlock has arisen over the Allies' reply to the German counter-proposals. M. Clemenceau is reported to be firmly adhering to the terms of the treaty, for the reason that French public opinion is- strongly averse to a change. The Council of Four considered the reports of the various commissions on the counter-proposals. It is believed the reply will fix the 19th June as the date on which the Germans must say whether they will sign or decline. There is good reason to believe that when the Germans receive the ultimatum they will declare they must refer the matter to the National Assembly for decision, and it is expected the latter will reject the treaty. The Germans hope this may cause a panic among the Allies, forcing them to enter into verbal negotiations.—Aus. N.Z Cable Assoc.
