Cabrera was himself chairman of the
Mexican commission.
Old Difficulty Gone.
According to the secretary. the DIFF

Of such an agreement at Atlantic City
were due To the fact that the Ameri-

HUNS WON'T GET
HANDS ON COLONIES
(By Associated Press)

Paris, June 1.-The reply to
the German counter proposals
agreed upon by the peace confer
ence heads refuses the German
request for mandate for the
former German colonies, it was
learned today. The reparations
portion of the reply does not fix
the total sum which the Germans
must pay. The text of the treaty
itself is not changed but the re-
ply contains assurances to Ger
many regarding methods of the
reparations process, explaining II
in workable agreements.
President Wilson fought siren
uously to inclued fixed sum in
the reparations clause and still
believes that the best plan. II
is understood, however, the Pres
|ident said inasmuch as Clemen-
|ceau insisted to the contrary and
also that he had signed the orig
inal draft, he would sign the
reply as formulated.
