and heaviest, Is reported to have tax
en- a view much similar to that OF the
United States. while Japan and Italy
were partially in accord with the
American view.
1t was owing to these divergent
viewpoints that the council devised a
new plan, whereby M Of the Allied
nations, probably Belgium, would in
itiate prosecution against the former
emperor and others responsible for the
invasion of territory and the destruc.
tion directed against this country and
leading to a more general spread of the
war. The exact nature Of the agree
ment is not disclosed, but the forego-
ing is believed to owe the main lines.
The text as finally approved on
Preparations specifies that the enemy
countries must admit responsibility for
all loss and damage 10 Allied and as.
ISOLATED nations and their citizens
caused by the uniustifiable aggression.
But In view Of the inability Of the enc
my country fully to recompense these
losses, the clause states, an inter-Al-
lied commission will assess the losses
on a just basis for thirty years be-
ginning May /, 1921, with an initial
payment of $4,000, 100000.
Germany is to pay the entire cost of
the commission and staff during the
thirty years of operations. The first
payment is to be credited against Ger
many's obligation TO pay for the main
tenance Of the Allied troops in the oc-
cupied regions, and the second prior
ity is for the payment of food relief
furnished to Germany.
The Council of Four reached al
agreement yesterday afternoon on the
Sarre Valley. The agreement leaves
sovereignty over the valley unchang-
ed. but accords to France free Of duty,
sufficient coal for the Lorraine iron in
dustry and to replace the production
OF the mines destroyed in the Lens
mining district with the privilege to
the Germans OF restoring the Lens
mines and thus relieving the Sarre
Valley of that charge.
This agreement removes n OF the
most difficult obstacles to the conclu-
sion Of peace.

However There Are Some
Troublesome Points to
Be Solved.

3EhIS, April 10.-The responsibility
the German emperor for the war and
hemeans for bringing him TO trial ty
ote Of the Allied governments, prob
lilly Belgium, have been definitely de-
sFMined upon by the Council Of Four.
This follows the definite decision on
ne terms Of r%eparations for war dam

D6Id within the next two years and an
lntersAllied commission assesses the
e1taining damages for a period of 80
feats, beginning May l, 1921.

How far these results are due to the
inlimations conveyed by the summon

dent Wilson is only conjectural. But
IS "a least a coincidence that the
MAIN difficulties began to dissolve
from the time that this decision be-
tamattnown.
Whefexact nature Of these difficult.

t6ltinR large principles, though the
Pgesidents adherence to his fourteen
D6ipts as the rigid limitation of the
SCOPE of action appears to have run all
through the deliberations during the
tense period OF the last few days.
Wine the tension has been greatly
ttd6ced. It is not entirely removed, as
much depends on the continuation of
