PARIS. May l7.-Diplomatic and
economic experts here view with
amazement the apparent decision of
Premiers Lloyd George and Millerand
in their conferences at Hythe, Eng
land, to shift the responsibility of re-
lieving the Central European situa-
ton TO America.
They have announced that despite
Americas non-participation in the
forthcoming conference at Spa. the
Germans will be granted loan by
the allies. provided the United states
guarantees such n loan.
A highly placed American official
went so far as to term IAN astound-
ing affrontery" Premier Lloyd
Georges declaration that the German
ships, -lncluding those held by Amer
lea" constitute security for the pro-
posed loan.
Other observers believe the PROPOSE
ton Is a colossal blum by Britain,
since II is pointed out that the ships
in question, by decision of the United
states Supreme Court, already belong
to America, and that therefore 1t is
impossible to make them the basis OF
a loan to Germany or anybody else.

BABY'S BODY FOUND
NEAR SLAIN MAN
Police Believe Woman Lured
Victim to Spot-DisCover
Silk Handkerchief.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn. May IL
Close to where the stripped and mu-
tilated body OF man was found Sat-
urday on the bank of the Rooster
river, his throat cut and hts clothing
piled on his chest and set on flre, the
body of baby was discovered last
night.
All day yesterday the river bank
was thronged by the morbidly curl
Gus, but dusk had fallen before Theo-
dore Hoyt, OF Bridgeport, stumbled
across a bundle half concealed by a
stone near the edge Of the water. 1t
was the body of a baby, wrapped in a
woman's skirt.
Even before Hoyt's discovery the
police were searching for a woman in
connection with the murder of the
man, believing he was lured to the
clump of bushes where he met his
death by woman who caused him
to turn form the highway.
This belief has for its foundation a
small handkerchief OF linen, embroid.
cred with the letter NJ and scented
slightly with violet perfume. The
handkerchief was found, neatly fold
ed, beside the spot selected by the
murderers for their attempt to dis
member and incincrate the body OF
their victim.
The body still lies unidentified at
the morguc. Efforts to trace the
clothing through tho, trademarks OF
dealers STAMPED on the various arti-
cles have failed.
Police called attention TO the fact that
this murder paralleled that OF Benny

the other side OF bridgeport as he
was making off with siTs,000 worth

FRANCE TO SEEK WAR
INDEMNITY FROM U.S..

LONDON. May 17.-Americsn bank
ers will be asked by France within
the next few days to discount
Frances portion of the German war
indemnity.
That is the outstp nding result OF
the Hythe conferer t3s. Millerand's
acceptance of the plan to fix a definite
total of the German reparations sum
was won over only by the British
premier's approval OF Frances claim
for prior facilities in arranging the
raising of funds with the cooperation
OF the American money market i'm
mediately on Germanys acceptance OF
tho indemnity total.
The meeting at Hythc. according
to Information gradually scepinE
through the official barraRe Of
secrecy. was not entirely unruffled by
conflicts between the British and
French ideas.
Premier Lloyd George, II is under
stood. insisted upon fixing the In
demnity total at below $4,000, 900. 900
while Millerand thought something
above s25, 900. 00o,JJ0.
The British statesman Hatiy TUNED
down the French proposal to reduce
Frances debt 90 Britnip ny ~ So0,-
oOo 600. or the same ratio ns the Ger
down.
Lloyd George. however, did not
hesitate to concede Frances prior
financial needs, especially as regards
the reconstruction OF the French dew
astated provinces.
In this the British prime minister
adopted the view nrst expounded by
SIR George paish, 10 the eject that
unless France is able Immediately to-
discount the indemnity, victorious
France will be stricken with cconorlis
disaster even greater than that which
hAs befAllan ysnouished Germany.
