uAIlOnS agreed To IL UUL the United
States reserved the right to object to
provisions for the demolition of the
defenses of the Kiel canal and Helgo-.
land and their naturalization and to
the transfer of the German cables to
the allies. The reasons for objectfnR
were not made public.
The commission that is working on
the question OF representation has
been making swift progress. 1t is re-
ported that the amount Germany viii
be called on to pay has been reduced
shout 80 per cent from the Original
total of the demands. hut this fact
will not afford the Huns much c0:,eo.

was recognized that the greater the
indemnity the greater must be the 0p-.
portunity given Germany to do bust
ness in order to get the money to pay
the debt. The British urge that the
entire cost Of the war should De as
sessed against the Germans; the
French agree with this. but want set
Element first for damages in violation
of international law and payment OF
the rest if and when possible: the
Americans have held that reparation
should be demanded only for wanton
destruction. The compromise plan that
will be adopted probably will be such
that Germany's Industrial recovery
shall not be too swift, at the expense
of France and Belgium. The matter
Of the FrancO-G German frontier was
still unsettled last week, but it seemed
likely that the French might be peg
mitted to occupy the left bank Of the
Rhine until the idemnity is paid,
without annexing the Rhenish prov
inces. No German 6eld or fixed fOrti-
ications will be permitted In that ter

formed into a separate buffer state.
The supreme council decided last
week to establish an intermediate zone
In Transylvania between the Roumani-

heard the claims of Armenia.

armament of the world and seem "a

The French are equally firm Ia their
demand that the vessels be divided
among the allies in proportion toNthefr
naval losses, and in this they have the
support Of Italy and some Of the
smaller nations. France declares the
other nations can do az they please
with the ships that fall TO- their share,
but those France gets will become part
Of her navy, that is necessary to pO-
