himself to save the skin of Clark and
others "whom you knew were booxers,

after he had been reared in rotten
surroundings. didn't you, just to save
a poker friend of yours?" Byers asked
Johnson. The latter did not answer
directly.
There will be no further sessions of
the committee until Tuesday. Accord

WILSON INFORMS AIDES.
BY CARL d. GROAT,

Paris, March 29-American finance
commissioners have been fully in
formed regarding President Wilson's
views on the financial situation, pre-
paratory to the allied economic coun-
Gil meeting with the Germans at Com
piegne early next week.
The president discussed the situa-
ton with the American representa-
tives at length yesterday. While no Of
ficial statement was issued on the con-
ference it was admitted the Ameri-
cans were appraised of the decisions
reached by the big four" regarding
reparation, during the last few days.
While the matter Of. reparation will
not be brought up at the Compiegne
meeting it will have an important
bearing on any action taken by the
economic commissioners. Their CONVEX
sations with the Germans will deal
with the amount and location of Ger
man securities to be used for payment
Of food before peace is signed.
FRENCH OPPOSE CHARITY.
1t is expected the Germans will re-
new the suggestion they made at
Brussels that some raw materials be
admitted to Germany so as to permit
work to be renewed, placing the Ger
mans in better position to pay for
food. The Americans are inclined to
accede in part to this request, but the
French continue to maintain that the
enemy should not be given any COM
mercial advantage before France is in
a position to resume manufacturing on
normal scale.
The economic commissioners also
will be able to obtain valuable infor-
nation regarding Germany's present
financial status, which can be used in
connection with determination Of in
IDENTITIES.
