ALLIED RUPTURE UNLIKELY
POSSIBLE SOLUTION-OF DIFFIFULTY. '
■ LONDON, 7th April. The Australian. Press Association learns that the meeting of Ambassadors was postponed until t to-day owing to the absence of Lord Derby, who has now returned to Paris with authority to declare the British attitude. It is understood that M. Millerand has been kept c'.osely. informed of the British and American official views. No rupture of the Allied unity is likely. At the most Britain and Ame/ica may protest against the French action, but it ia recognised tha-t failure to support France would bo misinterpreted in Germany. It may even be necessary ■to make a slight British advance in order to convince the Germans, but it is more probable that the incident will be closed in a few days by the withdrawal of the Germans from the neutral zone. This would be followed promptly by the French withdrawal. The whole situation will be reviewed at the sitting of the Supreme Council m London to-morrow.
