PARIS, July 15.-Germany is prepar-
ing to offer to rebuild the destroyed
cities of northern France with her
own workmen, but according TO French
specifications as part of her repara-
ton payment. This offer will be made
within the four months within which
the treaty stipulates Germany may IL
she desires make a proposal to the AL
lies regarding reparations in lieu Of
the plan Of the Allies.
The Germans disclosed this intention
partly in the first conversation Friday
between the allied and the German
reparations committees at Versailles.
when Chairman Won Schroeder asked
for facilities to make their own inspec-
ton Of the destroyed cities as Il pre-
liminary. France would draw up the
specifications as to how the cities were
to be rebuilt. the Germans supplying
the labor and materials.
The advantage to the Germans in
this would be that they would be pay
Ing the cost in marks, whereas II they
paid France for reconstruction ex-
change would be heavily against her.
(The mark is now quoted in other
countries at one-third OF its normal
value.)
The Germans indicated that they
meant to take advantage of the treaty
provision by putting in reparation
offer involving a hxed sum and the re-
building scheme. which would clean up
the matter Immediately. although natu-
rally payments would run over n long
period.

to get to work to wipe out Germany s
debts caused by the war.
Ii developed in conversation that the
Germans intend to send 100000 laborers
to France as soon as the prisoners are
returned. but the French insisted that
the prisoners need not be returned until
this labor is supplied. This is not the
view OF other members of the commit

not related

LONDON, July 15.-The British air
ship NS-11, possibly in an attempt to
break the duration record of the flight
OF the R-34. was blown up over the
North Sea last night. Her crew Is
believed to have been lost.
A woman at st. Margaret's, Black
ney, says she saw the disaster. She
was aroused half an hour after mid
night by the whine OF dirigible's en-
gines and located the big ship with
field glasses from her bedroom win

A black object, like n parachute,

made during her part In the North Sea
patrol during the war. Her commander
Is reported TO have been stirred by the
10S hour flight of the R-S4. An unoffi-
cial story is to the effect that he took on
an extra load OF gasolene before leaving
Pulham, the Norfolk field where the
R-34 landed. preparatory to starting on
what WAS supposed to be only n forty
eight hour tour OF duty In search of
R-34's record.
Tho Admiralty was at first informed
that a thunderstorm had been raging
off this section of the North Sea coast
, and believed that the ship had been
struck BY lightning. The report OF tho

explosion was due to engine trouble.

continuing on the surface of the sea

the hydrogen bag had first been exploded
from spark from the engine and that
the large gasolene tank, bursting and
burning. spread its fiery contents about
the wreck. Little hope Is entertained

The d!rigible, which was one of the
smaller type. was built TO carry a crew
OF ten or twelve persons, but according
to the latest reports there were only
two officers and Ave men aboard at the
time of the disaster. Early In the pres
ent year the NS-l1 carried out num-
ber of endurance flights over the North
Sea, establishing record for non-rigid
airships by remaining In the air on ore
occasion for more than four days and
covering distance estimated at 5000
miles.
Only one other British airship has met
with disaster through fire in the air
this being an experimental craft which
was undergoing a trial in Scotland. The
entire crew of this airship was lost.
