Department of Justice Warns
Americans Against Pro-
German Sentiment Favor
ing Leniency for Central
Powers.
COMPUTE INDEMNITY
(By Associated Press)


WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Govern-
man propaganda machinery in the
United States is being put in working
order again to promote sentiment Of
leniency toward Germany in peace
terms. Consequently department Of
justice officials today warn that the
public should remain watchful against
resumption of organized propaganda
by interests formerly actively pro-
German, and for the past year passive.
Concerted movements is apparent,
officials say There is no organized
leadership, it is believed, but local in
terests have taken their cue from Of
ficial pleas from Germany for leniency.
Must Pay Indemnity.
Study of Germany's financial situa-
tion has been undertaken by govern
ment agencies here with a view to
throwing light on the ability of the
German nation to pay big sums as
reparation for the devastation of in
voded countries. Unofficial reports
indicate that Germany's national debt
represented mainly by war loans held
within the empire is now nearly $685.
000,000,000 or almost half of the esti-
mated national wealth Of 80 billions
Although there has been no official
announcement or intimation Of the
aggregate amount which the allies will
expect Germany to pay, it Is certain
to run into billions Of dollars and ne
cessarily the terms of payment must
accord with Germanys ability to pay.
The victorious allies will not con-
Germ themselves primarily It is be-
lieved, with Germany's redemption Of
her own national debt since this is
largely internal. Comparatively small
amounts of German war bonds are
owned outside of Germany.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN

tomorrow morning the American ad-

sumed and another big step on the
road toward the heart of Germany will
be taken. Today's advance went with
out a hitch.
The roads over which the Ameri-
cans marched were frozen during the
greater part of the day. This made
the walking hard, but not nearly SO
difficult as 1T was in the recent past,
when mud and wire had to be nego-
tiated. The troops have moved out OF
a shell-torn area where the roads have
been hastily and temporarily repaired
1t is relief to the men. because be-
hind the German lines the roads are
in excellent condition.
Villages an6 towns along the route
looked peaceful, except for some here
and there which had been SCARED By
explosions of aerial bombs. These
were the only physical traces Of war
