d. McMillan (United Jm Staff Corrtipondnt) J. 'Paris, Sept 18. Germany has begun her long-'planned direct attack on the military elauses of the Versailles Treaty In preparation for the Geneva Disarmament Conference next month, It was Indicated today. Success may depend upon the degree to which Germany can persuade France that she will not secretly build up a war machine such aa the treaty, forbids.

France Is convinced that Germany la heavily armed now, despite the treaty provisions. Linked up with the German campaign is the plan for a 'period of International supervision of armaments regarding which United States, France and Great Britain concluded a series of conferences yesterday. Norman H. Davis represented the United Tentative Conditions The usually well-Informed Echo de' Paris asserted today that German Ambassador Roland Koerster yesterday presented to Lord Tyrell, British Ambassador, a note outlining the tentative conditions under which would accept the arms control plan. Such a note would mean that the campaign of attack on the Versailles Treaty, was well under way.

The Echo de Paris said the note declared Germany would accept the plan provided: i 1 That Germany be permitted to build forts on her eastern (Polish) frontier, comparable to those France has built on the German frontier. 2 That she be permitted to equip the forts adequately with heavy guns and other armaments forbidden under the treaty. 3 That she be permitted to build a fleet of pursuit airplanes for military use, with the specific understanding that bombing planes be forbidden. Germany Is permitted no military planes under the treaty. 4 That the arms supervision clan provide not for general inter national control, as proposed by France, with heavy- penalties against violators of agreements, but by a series of treaties between individual nations.

Will Ask Rearmament The report bore out reports that have circulated In Paris all week that Germany would start at once her effort to obtain permission for a measure of rearmament that would raise her International prestige and leave the territorial clauses of the Versailles Treaty the only section left for her to attack. Any success in advancing the reported plan is conjectural. France possesses, and has threatened fre quently to publish, a list of alleged German instances of secret arming. Fiance wants a period' of stringent disarmament supervision by an international commission. 1 During that period she does not want to reduce her own military establishment and wants to grant Ger many no concessions.
