FRENCH DEPUTY FOOTS UP
AMOUNT HUNS SHOULD PAY
War Expenses of France, Great
Britain and Belgium at
47o,ooo, 900, 900 Francs.

PARIS, December % (Havas).-The
><hamber of deputies today discussed
the provisional credits for the first
Quarter of 1919. During the course of
the discussion Deputy Jacques Stern
declared that the total war expenses
of France would reach 100000 900
francs; those of Great Britain he esti-
mated at 100000. 100000 and of Bel
gium at 10000. 100000. Thus, he said.
the allies could ask from Germany
100000, 900, 900.
NJ. Stern recalled that DR.. Karl
Helfferich, an authority on German
financial matters, in 1918 estimated
the annual income of Germany at 50.-
900. .0OO, 900 marks. To divide equita-
bly, among the allies the war expenses
NJ. Stern considered necessary the cre-
alton of a financial interallied COM
mission, which would proportion the
debt among the nations. This COM
mission, he believed. could constitute
the juridical basis of a league of ma
tions The adhesion of Russia could
be obtained, according to NJ. Stern. by
calling on the sane part of the ma
Iion.
The discussion will be resumed to-
morrow.

MGR. CERRETTI TO STAY
IN PARIS FOR PRESENT
Likely, Hot tever, to Be Called Back
to Rome on Pre- sident's
Arrival.

ROME, December -2s.-Monsignor
Cerretti, the papal undersecretary of
state. has received instructions to re-
main in Paris for the present. 1t is
believed that the Pope intends to re-
call him to Rome to be present at
the time of the visit of President
Wilson.
When Monsignor Cerretti left Rome
in November on mission to the
United States. his object was two
fold-to attend the jubilee of Cardinal
Gibbons and to present President
Wilson with an autograph letter from
the Pope. He was also instructed to
visit France, Belgium, England and
Ireland and report on the situation.
When about to sail for America,
President Wilson's decision to come
to Europe was officially announced; !;
therefore Monsignor Cerretti was or
uered to return to Paris to accomplish
his work in France, pending the
Presidents arrival. He has already
presented the Pope's letter to the
President.
