yOINT USE PLANNED
! FOR GERMAN CABLES
Council of Three Again Tries
to Settle Question.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, May 2--The disposition OF the
German Atlantic and Pacific Cables is
again before the Council of Three, with
some prospect of n settlement along new
lines. This proposes that the cables shall
be administered Jointly by the five Great
Powers until an international Cable
Congress can consider the entire ques-
ton Of cables between the different
countries.
This plan is alternative to the Ger
man cables being held "a prizes of war
by the countries which cut them. prin-
cipally Great Britain. France and
Japan, some OF the latter's representa-
fives still maintaining the right to hold
them as prizes OF war.
Tho Council of Three to-day settled
the status of the Kiel Canal. Germany
probably will retain proprietorship on
the waterway, but tolls for passage
national control.
The naval terms to be embodied in
the peace treaty with Germany, which
finally have been completed, do not pro-
vide for the sinking of the larger Ger
man warships. The disposition of these
vessels Is left to be decided upon later
by the allied and associated Powers.
II Is felt that the final disposition
OF the enemy ships 10 purely an inter-
allied question and not one for inclusion
in the treaty. which provides only for
the surrender of tho vessels to the
Powers, which will decide their ultimate
fate. This action is regarded as In
dieatirs that the warships will not be
sunk or destroyed
After the enemy ships are divided
among the Allies each Power will de-
eide on the disposition Of its own quota.
The general impression here is that the
French and Italians will retain their
share and incorporate the vessels in their
present fleets, while the British and
American tendency tnclines to the de-
struction of their quota.

at present that he would ask Congress

he seriously questioned the right OF Sec
rotary Baker to take such a step.

the league covenant a party question

GERMANS DEFIANT
OVER LIBAU COUP
Let's at Fault, Naughty Re-
ply to England.

PARIS, May 2.-Tho British protest
against the overthrow of the Lettish
provisional government at Libau, and
the British demand that the situation at
Libau be reestablished. have provoked a
naughty reply from the German Govern
ment according to advices from Berlin.
The Germans are said to claim that tnu
revolt in Libau was the work OF Let's.
The ZDoelfuhr BlGtt of Berlin, how
ever. declares the affair resulted from
Pan-German intrigue and it was the
work OF German Barons in the Baltic
provinces and their agents The paper
says the money for the maintenance of
the German troops at Libau and several
other points in the east was supplied by
the Barons. 1t concludes:
IT Is surprising to see at time when
Germany manifests, her desire for peace
and wishes to prove that she has given
up her former policy OF intrigue that the
game that led to her ruin Is being
kept up"
The Lettish Provisional Government
in Libau was overthrow on April Is by
German and Baltic-German troops. The
Lettish troops were disarmed and mem
bers of the Lettish Cabinet arrested.
Latest reports from Libau have been
that the city was held and controlled by
the Germans.
British warships we're in the harbor OF
Lioau at the time of the coup, but there
have been no reports OF a British protest.
