GERMANY'S BILL OF COSTS.
One Hundred Billion Marks, Payable
in Gold.

One Hundred Billion Marks, Payaple
in Gold.
One hundred billion gold marks is
the amount Germany must pay the
Allied and associated governments for
losses and damages caused in the war,
plus other billions to be determined
by a special commission on which Ger
many is to be represented. This is the
final and definite conclusion which has
reduced to writing after weeks of ne
gotiations which took wide range and
involved frequent changes and modi-
fications. The payment of the hundred
billion gold marks is to be divided into
three distinct amounts as follows:
First, 10000, 100000 within two years.
Second, 10000, 100000 during 80 years
beginning in 1921.
Third, 4OOOO,OOO,00O when a COM
mission shall determine how it shall be
done.
In view of the fluctuations through
which the negotiations have passed,
the authoritative statement was OBJ
tained today concerning the final terms
of the settlement. This sums up the
conditions as follows:
Germany is at the outset held gen.
orally responsible for losses and dam
ages in accordance with President Will
sons IA points and the Allied response
at the time the armiStice was conclud-
ed. To determine the extent of the
payment under this responsibility a
commission is set up to take testi-
mony, assemble data and arrange all
details of the payments from the en-
emy and distribution among the Allied
and associated powers.
While the commission will admin
ister the details of the payments, sur
Gcient is known to permit the deter
mination that an initial payment will
| be required of 20,000,o00,OOO gold
marks, payable in two years without
interest. 1t has also been determined
that 1000 100000 gold marks shall be
| payable in bonds extending over per-
iod of 80 years beginning with 19zl
with q sinking fund beginning in 1926
These 4O,OOO,OOO,OOO marks draw l..
per cent interest from 1921 to 1926 anC
) per cent interest after 1926.
| In addition to te foregoing payment:
Germany also will be required to de-
| liver additional bonds of 40,OOO,OOO,0O'
marks when the commission deter
mines that this shall be done. These
three payments of 20,OOO,OOO,0O0, 40,'
900, ,OOO, 900, 4O,OOO,OOO,OOO marks bring
the total to 100000, 100000 gold marks
| Beyond this total, the commission Il
| uncovered to fix anything further tina
may be required to cover Germany:
Indebtedness.
In other words" concluded the EN-
inent American authority, who framed
the terms and furnished the fore
going summary, "a commission Sc
up with power to collect from Ger
many to the utmost Of her capacit!
to pay, within the limitation OF her In
ldsbtsdnsss."

A Zapata Story.-The stories they
tell about him are like those which are
told of Villa, the bandit Of the north.
Here is one: Zapata demanded tribute
from a rich rancher. The fellow an
swered with courtesies but no money.
He woke up next morning with Zapata
at his front door. He found himself
the next afternoon tied to post In the
middle of bull pen, his body out OF
reach, but his legs low enough to be
gored. Red cloth was tied around the
victims legs and soldiers were set to
torturing the bull. The beast was
turned loose in the pen and sow the
red cloth on the post. Maybe you can
guess what happened. The flesh was
gored from the mans legs and he died
as he hung on the post. Zapata had
taken the rancher's wife to the edge OF
the pen and made her SIT there and
watch the torture Of her husband

the bureau without adequate funds tc
pay the costs Of maintaining a large
federal police force unless there Is
some legislation at early special ses-
-sion of congress-.
Suggestions received today did not
change materially the air Of uncer-
tainty over the question Of how pro-
hibition is to be enforced after July ]
as caused by Internal Revenue COM
missioner Ropers announcement that
his bureau had not the authority nor
the funds to carry out the enforcement
measures properly. Many kilograms
received at the commissioners office
today reflected keen interest by in
ldividuals and organization through
out the country in the status of war
time prohibition.
Mr.. Roper added nothing to his
statement in reply to these queries, II
was said.
l. Legal advisers Of other agencies to-
day discovered that an executive order
Of the president dated September 2,
1917, issued under authority, Of the
Overman act, delegated to the re-
venue bureau, and the customs di-
vision, the enforcement OF the provis-
lon of the food conservation act Of Aug
pst 10, 1917, which prohibited the use
Of food materials in production of
whiskey and paved the way for res
friction of beer brewing.
The amendment to the agricultural
appropriation act Of November 81,
1918 by which war time prohibition
effective July /, was established, did
not become law until long after that
executive order was issued, and con-
sequently the order would not apply to
the prohibition measure.
The act Of November 21, 1918, pro-
yided that after June 80, 1919, until
the conclusion of the present war and
thereafter until the termination Of de-
mobilization, the date of which shall
be determined and proclaimed by the
president of the United States .
it shall be unlawful to sell for bev-
erage purpose any distilled spirits,
|. :" The act also specifies that in
this time mo beer, wines or other in
toxicating malt or vinous liquor shall
be sold for beverage purposes except
for export"
The distinction between this act and
other war time liquor restrictions as
pointed out today by officials Is that
it relates to the sale Of liquor where
as the others related to manufacture.
Consequently twas explained that the
revenue bureau will not have power
to take action against illicit sale, but
will retain its present powers to pre-
vent illegal production Of liquors.

FocH REBUKED IMPUDENcE.
Would Not Stand for Conduct of Ger
man Who Lacked Courtesy.

The tactlessness, or perhaps rather
the utter mental obtuseness, Of the
Iaverage Prussian is well illustrated by
breach of the proprieties committed
last fall when Germany made her ap-
peal for an armistice, the offender be-
ing no less parsonage than Gen. Hans
Won Winterfeldt, chief military pleni-
potentiary of the mission sent by Ger
many to call on Marshal Foch to ar
range for terms.
1t appears that General Won Winter
feldt, who should have been well in
formed on points Of military courtesy
since he was reared at the court OF
Berlin and later spent many years in
Paris as military attache, some months
before the outbreak Of the war was
seriously injured in an automobile ac-
cident while attending maneuvers of
the French army in the south of
France. He was tended with the ut
most solicitude by the most eminent
French surgeons. During. his illness
President Poincare called on him and
decorated him with the cross of officer
of the legion of honor.
When the war broke out Winterfeldt
took charge Of the espionage service
of the German government at San
Sebastian in Spain, doing no end of
harm to the people who had treated
him with such consideration.
How the Prussian general reused the
ire of the French marshal during the
armistice negotiations is thus related
by writer in the New York Evening
Sun:
Marshal Foch received the German
delegates in the railroad-car which
he made his home and which was then
switched on siding in the forest OF
Compiegne. When the German en-
issaries were ushered into his presence
and Won Winterfeldt saluted, the or
dinary impassive Marshals eyebrows.
for once in the war, went up. No Won
der. For the German general had had
the incredible impudence to don for
the occasion the cross of officer Of the
legion Of honor, bestowed upon him by
President Poincare before the war, in
total disregard of the fact that all
French distinctions bestowed upon
Germans had been Cancelled by the
war, in the same way that French nav
al and military men and citizens had
"scrapped" every German decoration
that they had received.
Before returning the salute Marshal
Foch, fixing his eye on the legions's
cross and red ribbon on the generals
breast. exclaimed, in the most sharp
and cutting tones: Monsieur! 1 au-
thorize you to remove that cross at once
from your breast!"
General Won Winterfeldt, thoroughly
disconnected, removed it, and, instead
of laying it down on the table, placed
it rather sheepishly and awkwardly
in his pocket. 1t was then that Mar
shall Foch acknowledged the salute
and consented to proceed to business.
The presence of General Won Winter
feldt, of ell Others on the German dele
cation seems to have had an eXaspera-
ting effect on the French officers ap-
pointed to deal with him, and it is not
surprising under the circumstances
that he soon insisted upon withdraw
ing from the mission.
