ARRANGEMENT
WOULD HELP FRANCE
And Thus Permit Her to
Settle Her Debts to the
United States and the AL
lies-French Public Opin-
ion Is Expected to Be
Satisfied With the Terms
Agreed On.

Paris, Nav lit is understood in
official circles here that the Anglo
French conference at Hythe, which
closed Yesterday, decided that the sum
total which Germany should pay as rep
aration would be fixed at 10000
100000 marks of gold approximately
S30,000,0OO,00 ,000l.
It is also understood that il was de
cded Germany would be permitted to
issue bonds covering her indebtedness
to the allies, payable in annual install
ments.
Such action, it, is pointed out, would
enable France to discount part OF her
claim on Germany and permit her 10
settle her debts to the United States
and the allies.
While the amount of the reparation
is much lower than the figure France
desired. and is still further short of the
actual sum declared to be required to
restore the devastated regions and pay
for other damages. it is pointd out that
$1,000 100000 marks in gold which is
figured as Frances share, would be
equivalent at the present rate of ex-
change to nearly 100000 1000, 900 francs
in Frenchc paper. This, it is felt, could
. hardly fail to satisfy French public
opinion.
The action on reparation and the
postponement of the Spa conference
with the Germans on June 2l, comprise
the definite conclusions reached by the
French and British premiers and their
advisers, according to the understand
ing here. All the other details of the
arrangement remain TO be settled by
the financial delegates, who are still
working upon them.
A special conference of the allies viii
he held at Ostend to consider financial
questions among the allies. This meet
ing will be independent of the league of
nations conference at Brussels. The
dates of these conferences remain to be
fixed.

SEEK RELIEF OF
GOVERNMENT
Railroads, Swamped With
Business, Want Fed
eral Cooperation
TANGLE OF FREIGHT
rs MOST SERIOUS
Industries Threatened With
Suspension if Tracks Are
Not Soon Cleared

Washington, D. c., May L.. The ma
tion's railroads, swamped with business
and not yet on their feet after the long
period of federal control, turned to the
government to-day for relief.
With reports from industrial centers
showing several hundred thousand cars
held up at functions and in transit be-
cause of insufficient equipment and la
Dor, the interstate commerce commits
sion. clothed with broad powers under
the new railroad law, was expected to
heed the appeal of the carriers and take
charge of situation admittedly bad.
Although desperate efforts have been
made in the last week to clear up the
tangle of freight, railroad officials said
there was slight hope of an early i'm
provement The great need at the mo-
ment is to clear the tracks of nones-
sential shipments, and open the way
for the free movement of the necess'
ties of life
So great is the traffic congestion. ae.
cording to reports and complaints from
many quarters that there is immediate
danger of wholesale closing OF big in
dustrial plants and the consequent cut
in production.
Should the commission find. on the
strength OF reports laid before it by the
railway executives, that the emergency
iustifies it. orders taking over virtually
complete control of the movement of
freight. probably will be issued to-day
The first step would be the issuance OF
priority orders for shipments of coal,
for which there is crying need at many
points. food and perishables. The use
OF cars would be limited to these com
modities, but railroad men said they
were more concerned with the problem
of moving and unloading upwards of
POO. 900 cars that have caused the con
gestion.
The possibility of curtailing passen
ger service has been considered by the
roads SO as 20 expedite freight move
ment. but officials said this would be
done only as last resort.
