German Debt to Three
Allies for War Expenses
Totals $94, 900, 900

Paris, Dec. 28.-The chamber of
deputies today discussed the pro-
visional credits for the first quar-
ter of 1919. During the course of
the discussion, Deputy Jacques
Stern declared that the total war
expenses of France would reach
250,00c, 100000 francs; those of
Great Britain he estimated at
100000, $1,000 and of Belgium at
10000, 100000. Thus, he said, the
allies could ask from Germany
100000, 100000 francs (S94 ,000,-
ooc,oo0).
M. Stern recalled that DR..
Karl Helfferich, an authority on
German financial matters, in 1913
estimated the annual income of
Germ any at 100000, 900
marks. To divide equitably among
the allies the war expenses M.
Stern considered necessary the
creation of a financial inter-allied
commission which would proper
ton the debt among the nations.
This commission, he believed,
could constitute the juridical basis
of league of nations. The ad-
hesion of Russia could be obtain.

MAN CONVICTED
bYFEDERAL JURY
TURNED LOOSE.
Judge Woodrough Releases
AIfio Garrotto After Being
Found Guilty by Jury;
Evidence Lacking.

Federal Judge Woodrough Satur-
day released Alto Garrotto, Oil
Pierce street, who was charged with
violation of the Reed amendment
and whom a jury in federal court
had found guilty.
The judge announced he consider
ed the evidence upon which Gar
rotto was convicted entirely insuf-
fic;ent and that the testimony of
Fred Sleye, principal witness, should
be discounted because of Sleye's
questionable reputation.
Labeled Gum Drops.
Garrotto was charged with trans
porting six barrels of whisky label
ed gum drops" into Nebraska.
Martin Black, 6lS Marcy street, tes-
tilted that he, accompanied by Sleye,
a special agent for the Burlington
railroad company, took the barrels
of whisky to Garrotto's place, but
Garrotto denied ownership although
he paid him $l00 when Black told
him that Sleye had suggested that
he had better let them see how
much money he had.
The $l00 bill was produced in
court and question has arisen as
to what disposition shall be made Of
it. A suggestion was made that the
money be given to the Red Cross,
but Judge Woodrough emphatically
declared that the court would make
no motion regarding the money and
he said that the circumstances re-
garding the money cast suspicion
upon some of the officers.
At the present the $100 is with
out an owner. Black said Garrotto
gave it to him and that he gave it
to Sleye and Sleye said that he gave
it to E. M. Matthews, special agent
for the Burlington, who produced
it in court. Garrotto denied that he
had ever given any one a $l00 bill
and insisted that he had not seen
Black before the trial.
Garrotto is a shoemaker.

PEACE CONGRESS
WILL ASSEMBLE
ON JANUARY Z
Spirit of 0ptim;cm Takes
Place of PcccsimiSm in
Paris in Regard to
Conferences.

Paris, Dec. 28.-The sentiment to-
day in peace congress circles, after
another week of conferences, is dis
tinctly brighter and spirit of op.
timism has taken place of the pes
simism which had prevailed in some
quarters. This is due to private ad-
vices from London showing that the
political exchanges now going on
there have been equally as satisfac-
tory as the public demonstrations.
One of the primary instances con-
sidered in these exchanges has been
the convening of the conference at
as early a date as possible. The
American delegation has been quite
insistent that it shall begin not later
than January 9. The exchanges to-
day indicated an agreement for the
assembly of the congress on jan
uary Il.
Even the latter date would be ac-
ceptable to the Americans, it is an
nounced, as assuring a reasonably
early opening of the discussions.
The pessimism previously exist
ing in some quarters was due to the
various views held on the IA
points, but the presidents state
ment that the allied leaders agree
with him in the principles therein
laid down has largely removed the
first impressions.
The presidents statement is
echoed in all responsible quarters
here, Premier Clemenceau also join
ing in the declaration that the con-
ferences he has had show all entire
agreement on the principles.

PRESIDENT
AND PRIME.
MINISTER
IN ACCORD.
Conferences Have Resulted ir
Agreement on General
Principles, Lloyd George
Tells Newspaper Men.

London, Dec. 2S.-Premier Lloyd
Geoage, in receiving American news
paper correspondents at his resi-
dence at o'clock tonight, said that
the conferences with President Viii
son had brought about an agreement
on general principles. The premier
said he feldt assured that matters
which had been agreed upon be-
tween America and England would
prove of the greatest assistance in
the work of the peace congress.
An understanding virtually had
been reached already between the
entente powers, regarding the ad-
mission of the various nations to
the peace conference itself, said the
premier. In his conference in Paris
with the premiers of France and
Italy, President Wilson had become
fully acquainted with their views and
he had now also acquired a know
ledge of the British standpoint.
Four Powers in Accord.
And" continued the premier, Il
feel assured that all these powers
are in accord on the basic principles
of the peace which will come before
the conference. At any rate it will
be certain that America and Eng
land will be found working in conf
plete' harmony in the conference
At the close of his address. an
swering question as to when he
expected the British delegation to go
to Paris, the premier replied that
owing to the necessity of clearing
up the general election and other
pressing business it could not be-
fore the end Of the first week of the
new year.
The newspaper men were received
after long conference the premier
and Secretary Balfour had with
President Wilson this afternoon and

dence in Downing street Details

soldier stood and uttered, not the
words of triumph, but the simple
words of affection for his soldiers

service of right.
Fought for New Order.
That is the afterthought-the
thought that something must be
done now; not only to make the
just settlements-that of course
but to see that the settlements re-
manned and were observed and that
honor and justice prevails in the
world. An as | have conversed
with the soldiers | have been more
and more aware that they fought
for something that not all of them
had defined, but which all of them
recognized the moment you stated
it to them. They fought to do away

new one, and the center and
Characteristic OF the old order was
that unstable thing which we used
to call the balance of power a
thing in which the balance was de-
termined by the sword which was
thrown i'll on the one side or the

mined by the unstable equilibrium
of competitive interests, balance
which was maintained by jealous
watchfulness and an antagonism of
interests which, though it was gen.

Must Be No Balance of Power.
The men who have fought in this
war have been the men from the
free nations, who are determined
that that sort of thing should end
now and forever. 1t is very interest

quarter, from every sort of mind,
from every concert of counsel, there
comes the suggestion that there
must be not balance of power, not

London, Dec. 28.-The text Of
President Wilson's speech at the
Guild hall this afternoon is as fol-
lows:
"Mr. Lord Mayor: We have come
upon times when ceremonies like
this have a new significance which
most impresses me as | stand here.
The address which | have just
heard is most generously and gra-
ciously conceived, and the delight
full accent OF sincerity in it seems
like a part of that voice of counsel
which is now everywhere to be
heard. | feel that a distinguished
honor has been conferred upon me
by this reception, and | beg to as
sure you, sir, and your associates
of my very profound appreciation,
but | know | am only part of what
| may call great body of circum-
stances.
Il do not believe that it was fancy
on MY part that | heard in the voice
of welcome uttered in the streets of
this great city and in the streets of
Paris, something more than a per-
sonal welcome. 1t seemed to me
that | heard the voice of one peo-
pie speaking to another people and
it was a voice in which one could
distinguish a singular combination
of emotions. There was surely
deep gratefullness that the fight was
over. There was pride that the fight
ing had had such a elimination
There was that sort of gratitude
that the nations engaged had pro-
duced such men as the soldiers of
Great Britain and of the United
States and of France and of Italy
men whose prowess and achieve
ments they had witnessed with ris-
ing admiration as they moved from
elimination to elimination.
Business Not Yet Done.
"But there was something more
in it, the consciousness that the
business is not yet done, the con-
sciousness that it now rests upon
others to see that those lives were
not lost in vain.
81 have not been to the actual
battlefield, but | have been with
many of the men who have fought
the battles, and the other day | had
the pleasure OF being present at a
session OF the French academy when
they admitted Marshal Joffre to their
