The belief is that the fllers must
have been picked up somewhere to-

plain the delay in reporting their

The matter had been taken up In

secure their safety.
Hawker and Grieve started from

red attempt to fly across tho Atlantic
at o'clock last Sunday evening.
The Sopwith plane carried WIRE

have been along the course followed
by the plane reported that they heard
no signals although two reported see

bulletins announcing Hawker's ap-

was induced to dispatch sew

which was supposed to have fallen
into the sea off the estuary of the
Shannon. When no trace was found
up to the end of the following day

Paris, April G. Havas)-T council
of four on Saturday reached an agree.
ment on the principles of the indemni-
ties and reparations to be paid by Ger
many and examination Of the details will
begin Immediately, the newspapers say.
1t Is not believed there will be any
disagreement as to details, and it is ind-
Gated that the text of the financial terms
VIII be finished during the week.
The Echo De Paris says that compro-
misses were affected on all debatable
points regarding the sum to be paid at
once by Germany and the payments in
the future. Against the opposition Of
the French government, 1t was agreed
the paper says, to distribute the future
payments over a term of 30 years The
payments for the next few years were
fixed.
The journal says there are indica =
tons that the rights of France and
Belgium to prior consideration in the
payments by Germany have been rec.
ognized. The first German payment, IL
says, will be 100000 600 francs of which
five billion will go to pay for raw ma
terials to insure the resumption Of
German economic life. France will get
ten billion francs and Belgium five
billion of the first payment. The rest
of the indemnity. the paper says, will
run over a period of 35 years.
Plans for continued occupation OF
the left bank of the Rhine have been
abandoned and the allies will depend
upon an economic blockade as the
means of pressure on Germany. Final
agreemnt on the Rhine and Sarre
Valley questions will be reached before
the end of the week. 1t is added.
