Washington Treaty in terms Of the high.
est praise, and advocated an alliance be.

Commissioners have been outwittcd, and
that England is bound hand and foot. |,

government has no intention to make ex.
orbi.aut demands for indemnity before the
Geneva Tribunal; that the main desire is
to obtain public acknowledgement of the
correctness of its positions during the war.

to encourage belligerents bringing extrav.
agant claims against neutrals.
The Cologne Gazette asserts that the
claims of the United States are enormous
in their amount for indemnity in order
that when deductions are made they NAV
receive handsome sum.
The Gazette denounces it as an un-
worthy trick, but is not sorry that the only
two nations which furnished supplies to
France during the war with Germany are
now set by the ears.
