HUNS Will GET
INDEMNITY BILL
Premiers Meet at Hythe, Eng
land, and Determine Course
of Spa Conference.
FRANCE AGREES TO SUM
In Return for Acquiescence Mil
lerand Obtains Promise of
Payment Priority.
FRANCE AGREES TO SUM

Hythe, England, May 15.-Germany
is not to be left much longer in doubt
las to the amount of indemnity which
she will have to pay under the treaty
of Versailles. 1t was decided at the
conference which began here this
morning between Premier Millerand OF
France and Premier Lloyd George OF
Great Britain and their advisers, that
la definite sum should be named for
Germany to pay. This decision was
the most important result of the morn
ing conference. Premier Millerand ac-
cepted the principle of naming a fixed
amount on condition that France
should be condeded priority, so that
in effect she will have a first mortgage
lon the German indemnity, and that
part of the payment to her be made
immediately. Belgium, it is stated, will
be placed on the same basis as France
For another thing, the conference
decided that the date of the Spa con-
ference of the members of the supreme
council with the German leaders should
be held on June 21, instead of May 25
the date previously selected. Germany
will be notified of the nature of the
proceedings and of what terms will be
presented to her, and there will be nc
debate.
The conference was called primarily
to discuss the subject of the meeting
at Spa, at which the question of the
German indemnity payments and kim
dred topics are to be taken up with
the German representatives.
There was a full discussion at this
mornings meeting of the premiers and
their aides regarding the financial
questions at issue and an agreement
on general principles was reached.
The meeting was regarded by both
the British and the French represen-
tatives as most satisfactory.
1t is stated the note informing the
Germans of the postponement of the
Spa meeting will explain the object
and range of the conference SO pre-
cisely that no Misrepresentation re-
garding it will be possible during the
German election campaign.
The question of the disarmament of
Germany also was discussed by the
premiers.

Three Democrats Join Republi-

Line Up With Democrats

Washington, May 15.-with few
thrills and no hitch in the pre-arranged
program, the senate today adopted by
43 to 3S the republican resolution, de-
claring the state of war, with Germany
and Austro- Hungary at an end. The
measure was in the form of a substi-
tute for the peace resolution. recently
adopted by the house, which dealt with
Germany alone.
These two proposals will be adjusted
in conference next week, and that the
president will veto the final lesolu-
ton is foregone conclusion, unchaI-
lenged by any speaker during the de-
bate.
Three democrats, Reed of Missouri,
Shields of Tennessee, and Walsh cf

in voting for the peace resolution. Two

bate. Democratic Leader Underwood
charged that the republicans had an
parently ''foreclosed" action on the
treaty for the present session. SEN
ator Harding. republican, OF Ohio. as
serted the resolution was a demonstra-
ton against "one-man rule" of Presi-
dent Wilson.

the necessity of peace Senator Pom
creme said adoption of the measure
would be worse than useless"
Even If the resolution were not il
iegal 1t would meet with presidential
disapprovaL" the Ohio senator added.
1T is an attempt by legislative act
TO create treaty and depends upon
some action by Germany.
The treaty now has no effect on the
united States, and yet we propose TO
accept all of its benefits without under
taking any of its obIiga tons"
lnterrupting to dispute this conten-
ton, Senator Knox said:
The resolution does not accept any
benefits under the treaty. 1t simply
doesn't waive any that may be de-
rived. 1t holds things in status quo
until settlement with Germany"

Declare Congestion Has Become
So Great as to Threaten
Tie-up of Industry.
ASK EMERGENCY ACTION
Association of Executives Calls
on Interstate Commerce Com
mission to Use It's Powers

Washington, May 15.-The govern
ment was asked today to take "emer-
gency action" similar to that taken
when this country entered the war
to help dig the railroads out from un-
der the worst freight congestion since
1917.
The joint appeal to the interstate
commerce commission by the Associa-
ton OF Railway Executives and the
American Railway Association de-
clared that the freight jam is such as
to warrant and require immediate
use of that body's board powers under
the transportation act in checking a
menace which has assumed threaten
ing proportions.
Common use of equipment and ON
bargoas, priorities and diversion of
shipments were urged by the railroads
as means which the commission could
employ to remedy the situation.
The roads also asked to be allowed
to curtail passenger service, but in
dicated that this would be done only
in extreme cases.. The appeal called
the commissions attention to situa :
ton which it said had become so seri-
Gus as to threaten general decrease
in production and a generally demoral-
izing condition of both labor and mar
kets.
Every effort, the appeal urged,
should be made by the commission to
aid the railroads in untangling the
jam, much of which, it is indicated
has been caused by the illegal" walk
out OF railroad employees and the re-
sulting shortage in transportation ia
cilities.

While in many places actual solicit

early part of the coming week, says
the statement, in practically all places
where the work has started the re-
suits Justify the most optomistic feel
ing regarding the outcome. In many
of the largest places where the cam
paign started this week the amounts
subscribed are considerably in excess
of the amounts subscribed last year.
Intense enthusiasm has been manifest
ed and splendid gifts reported in such
points as Charlotte, Spartanburg,

with the campaign actually begun
in only about 40 per cent of the south
Atlantic division and this territory be-
ing composed largely of the smaller
counties, about per cent. of the quota
already has been raised. The quota of
the territory in which is already on,
represents only about 20 per cent of
the quota for the entire division. Sub
scriptions above 10000 already have
been reported at Charlotte and Spar

far above the total amount raised In
those cities last year. Thirty coun-
ties in the division have completed
their quota. All committees are urged
to push their work next week, said
Mr.. Clark, as the national headquar-
ters has set the close Of the campaign
