MAY DECIDE TOMORROW
Germans VIII Attempt to Refute
Charges That They Were Res
ponsible for the War

There is reason to believe, accord
ing to adyices from Paris, that the
council of four will reach a decision
by Thursday concerning the reply to
be made to the German counter pro-
posals.
The allied experts are now working
on the reply and meetings are being
held in Paris to-day to draft the me-
moranda to be submitted to the coun-
Gil OF four.
Premier Clemenceau is understood
to maintain firmly that there can be
no important changes in the treaty
clauses to which the Germans have
made the strongest objections.
There are indications, however, of a
strong undercurrent of sentiment to
meet the German offer Of twenty
five billions of dollars in indemnity
instead of the interminate sum
that might be demanded under the
terms as presented.
That the Germans haven't said
their last word in objecting to the
certain phazes of the terms is indicat
ed by a memoranda which has beer
drafted at Versailles by German ex
perts who seek to refute the allied
charges as to the guilt Of Germany
in bringing on the war.
This will be presented, is it said
as the reply of Germany to the report
of the inter-allied commimssion fixing
the responsibility of the great con

chlna's Mineral Wealth.

In the light of the constantly pre-
dicted exhaustion of the worlds coal
supply the following note from the
United States commerce reports is of
interest:
"For the past 20 years the world
has heard marvellous stories OF
Chlna's vast wealth OF coal, yet China
imports more than II exports. The
figures for 1917 show 100000 tons ex-
ported and 100000 tons imported,
yet, according to V. X. Ting, director
OF the geological survey of China, n
minimum estimate OF Chlna's wealth
in coal indicates that It Is sufficient to
supply the worlds consumption, at its
present rate Of 1,0O0,000,000 tons a
year, for a period OF 1000 years. Prob
ably no other statement made concern
ing China would demonstrate more
torcIbly than this the backwardness OF
the country in modern industrial de-
velopment. Coal is known 10 occur
in every province in China.
