Germany Fails to Pay Bill and
Withdrawal of Forces Is
Advocated

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Failure
by Germany to make full payments
for the maintenance of American
forces in Germany as required by the
armistice was said by Representative
Kahn, chairman of the House military
committee, in a speech to-day, to have
resulted in the troops being maintained d
at a daily expense to the United
States of s1,220,ooo. Representative
Kahn added that "he doubted If this
country would ever be able to recover
the great amount of Indebtedness from
the German government"
Several payments on account have
been made by Germany since the ar
mistice, he asserted, but no payments
for transportation of replacement
rtoops or supplies for the troops al
ready in Germany have been made.
A total Of 433,000,000 marks has been
paid on account up to April 4, 1920,

lies took us at our word,' Mr. Kahn
replied.
The Military Committee chairman's
assertion brought forth debate as to
the possibility of inserting an amend
ment in the army appropriation bill
now before the House, cutting off any
appropriation for further maintenance
of troops at Coblenz or in Silesia.

Kappists have begun preparations for
fresh coup, which, according to many
reports, might occur within a few days.
Thursday is mentioned by the paper as
being the likely date.
Speaking in the National Assembly
yesterday Premier Mueller said that he
could not agree that danger from the
Right parties was ended by the col
lapse Of the Kapp coup d'etat. Danger,
he said. is still threatening, especially
in Pomerania and Silesia, where Baltic
troops are quartered, and a new FIRE
might therefore break out any day.
If second revolt similar to the
Kapp revolt should occur, the Premier
declared, it would be certain to cause q
general strike as energetic rs before.

PARIS, April 14.-Complete recon-
ciliation between France and Great
Britain is expected to result from the
meeting Of Premiers Millerand and
Lloyd George at the San Reno confer
ence. M. Millerand. expects to leave
Paris Friday night and probably will
talk with the British chieftain at San
Reno before the sittings Of the Su-
prcme Council begin.
NJ. Millerand enjoyed immense sue
cess in the Chamber of Deputies yes
on the Anglo-French imbroglio. The
statement was received with tumultu-
Gus applause. emphasizing the general
belief among members of the Chamber
that France now is in stronger posi-
tion internationally than before the
break.
Prior to the Premier's address it be-
came known that the conversation
which took place in Paris between
and War Minister Lefevre was ex-
ceedingly favorable to France. 1t is
understood Mr.. Churchill gave tho gov
ernment the fullest assurance that
England would cooperate in seeing to
it that Germany really disarmed. He
spoke in the most cordial tone possible,
and this fact did much to erase the
bad impression left on the French by
the acridity of Lord Curzon.

the German Charge d'Ahaires in Lon
don and told him that England will
permit no delay in the imme diate with

tween France and Great Britain on
the vigorous policy Of disarmament Of

What applies to California in the use of motor trucks will apply to every other section of the country" said H. F. liar ris, president of the Bethlehem Motors Corporation, at the immense plant at Allentown. Pa, when discussing the fu-' ture of the motor truck.
 Out in California, where good roads are to be found on every side. main line and feeder routes as well, it is said that with the addition of every mile of good roads the demand for motor trucks in- creases The Pacific coast has shown conclusively that all America needs in it's every state is roads, to make the motor truck business larger by far than the pa ssenger car business. California builds roads because the motorists want them, and the majority of the motorists are tillers of the soil in one field or the other. Now, with less than 50,000 motor trucks in use by the farmers today ln America, and with more than 100000 farmers Tn the land who need motor trucks. the building of good roads means market for millions of trucks, the elimination entirely from the farms by use of the tractor and other automotive appliaS~es of the horse, and the use of five, acres of land for the growing of produce for the human race whenever a horse is ellm- mated Opening of millions Of acres or land now required to keep horses will do more to reduce the high cost Of llv- ing than anything else I knew of and the building of roads, together With the coming of the pneumatic tire, will aid in the motorization of American farms ana make motor truck manufacturing one or the greatest industries of the world tos day"
