TOO LATE, FRITZ
Clemenceau Replies to German
Note on ReparatiOns.
Says Germany Can't Deny Ag-
gressiOn and Responsibility.

Paris, May 21.-It is too late to seek
to deny both the aggression of Ger
many in the war and her responsible
ity for it.
This declaration is made by Pre-
mier Clemenceau, as president of the
peace conference. in replying to the
German note on reparations, the text
of which with the reply was made
public last night. The argument put
forth by Count Won Brockdorff-
Rantzau was that Germany did not
start war of aggression, that the
German people were convinced they
fought a defensive war and that the
present German government cannot be
held responsible for faults of the
former German government.
Premier Clemenceau took up the
points made by the German delega-
tion and declared that the German
government last November made no
protest against the charge in a note
of Secretary of State Lansing that
Germany was the aggressor. The
president of the conference points out
further that Germany made the
French government of 1871 and the
Russian government of 1917 respon-
sible for the acts of imperial regimes
in France and Russia
