LONDON, Feb. 28, 1921 (UP) -- Germany was called before the allied bench today to receive sentence for damage inflicted by her in the great war.
Indications were that the allied representatives, backed by their military chiefs, were to impose the demands decided upon at the Paris conference last month.
A commission of experts may be formed to see that the penalties are enforced.
The military chiefs have presented plans for carrying out the decision. They call for advances by Belgian and French troops into German territory and the blockading of German ports.
There was no indication that pleas of the German foreign minister, Walter Von Simons, will alter the allied demands.
Premiers Lloyd George and Briand, Count Storza of Italy, Marshals Foch and Wilson held lengthy conferences at Lloyd George's home.
Germany was believed fully able to pay the demanded reparations. In any event, it was believed, the allied military leaders would compel Germany to pay without further argument.
It was believed the threat of invasion would be sufficient to drive the German people into accepting the demands, even if the present government should persist in its refusals.
Von Simons is prepared to submit an offer to pay reparations about $19,000,000,000 less than the allies had demanded, and to ask that the time of payment be reduced from 42 to 30 years.
The allies, it was said on high authority, may agree to reducing the period of payment, but there was no indication of their receding from the demand for $56,000,000,000.
