And Forty Billion More When an Inter

Shall Be Done.

Paris.-One hundred billion gold

Germany must pay the allied and asso-
ciated governments for LOSES and dam
age caused in the var, plus other bill
lions to b" determined by special
commission en- which Germany is to be

This is the final and delnite con-
clusion which has been reduced 10
writing after weeks of negotiation
which took wide range and involved
frequent changes and notifications.
The payment of the 100000,00 900
gold mark, is to be divided into three
distinct amounts as follows;
First.-Twenty billions within two
years.
Second.-Forty billions during 30
years beginning in 1921.
Third.-Forty billions when a COM
mission shall determine how it shall be
done.
In view of the fiuctus lions through
which the negotiations have passed all
authoritative statement was obtained
concerning the final terms of the set

as follows:

the payment under this responsibility
commission is sci up 10 take tesu-

These 40,000000,00 marks draw 2h
per cent. interest from 1921 to 1926
and per cert. interest after 1926.
In addition to the foregoing pay
ments. Germany will also be required
| to deliver additional bonds for 10000

determines that this shall be done.
These three payments of twenty. for

to 100000,000,0 gold marks
Beyond this total the commission is
empowered to fix anything more than
