LONDON, 28th February.

It a is understood that as the reuslt of week-end discussions at Chequers, and information from Lord D'Abernou (British Ambassador to Germany) regarding. Germany's position, the Allies will adopt a very firm attitude at the Conference, and will not grant Germany any- considerable concessions. LONDON, 28th February. The Berlin' correspondent of The Times says that the press comments throw little light on the nature of the German - proposals. All forecasts are guesswork. In any case, the delegates are acting strictly as the mouthpioce of the Government, which reserves the final right of decision. The press comments generally are pessimistic, and persistently refer to the Entente as "our enemies," which perhaps is the best indication of the German attitude. The Vorwaerts sardonically comments': "After all, we lost the war, and German workmen must make good with their own hands the devastations they committed." Some papers vaguely threaten revolution and the establishment of a dictatorship in order to avoid the Allies' claims.
