Danzig Question Settled ,
The Polish-German boundary ques
tion was finally disposed of by the
council. Xo announcement was made
of the decisions taken, but it is under
stood that Danzig will be international
ized, while the Poles will have a corri
dor running from that city to their fron
tier to give them access to the sea.
In political ciieies, much significance
is attached to the resolution adopted by
the French Senate demanding the in
sertion in the pence treaty of guaran-
tees suggested by the Allied high com
maud. The resolution may, perhaps
be lead iu connection with the inter
view with .Marshal Foch by a corres-

as the ical barrier against another Ger

insists strongly on these guarantees.
