Discussion of the German menu
orandum Is understood to have Oc-
Cupied much of a twO-hUur session
today of President Hardng's cabi-
not. What happened in the cabi-
net room, however, remained .
carefully guarded secret
After returning to the state de-
partment. Secretary Hughes sent
invitations to the allied diplomats
to visit him for a discussion of the
German proposals. These invita-
tions went out to the representa-
tives, not only of Great Britain and
France but also Belgium, Italy and
Japan.
Baron de Marchienne, the Bel
gtan ambassador, was among the
first to call on the secretary. Each
envoy was received separately and
zach conferred briefly. the series
of visits being concluded within q
little more than an hour.
Delayed In Transmission.
Tho German communication.
which was handed TO Commission
er Dresel Sunday night, began to
reach the state department last
night, after an unexplained delay
in transmission. 1t arrived in
fragments, and 1t was not until this
morning that tho last of 1t was
received. 1t was decoded and
placed before Mr. Hughes after ho
reached his office.
The text is withheld by the de-
partment. for the present at least.
but it is understood that the sum
mary as given in press dispatches
today from Berlin corresponds
very closely to the text as received
here. No official explanation Of
the decision not to make the mem
.orandum public was forthcoming.
but unofficially 1t was explained
that its publication at this time
might give rise to a suggestion that
the United States was endeavoriug
to influence public opinion in the
controversy.

HUGHES CONFERs With ENJOYS OF
ALLIES REGARDING GERMAN NOTE:
CABINET ALSO DISCUSSES Matter
United States, in Replying, Is Expected to Be
Guided by the Decisions of the Allied Gov
ernments as to Whether the Proposals Form
Basis for Further Negotiations.

Washington, April &c (by the
Associated Prcssl -, Events here
today indicated clearly that the
United States in replying to Ger
many's counter proposals on repar-
atoms would be guided by the de-
cisions of the allied governments
as to whether the new propositions
put forward by Berlin were of such
a nature as to form the basis for
further negotiations.
Secretary Hughes conferred late
today with each Of the allied diplo-
matte representatives, discussing
with them briefly the German
communication, which was re-
ceived early in the day from Am
orican Commissioner Dresel at
Berlin. The foreign ENJOYS imme-
diately reported to their govern
ments by cable and 1t was under
stood that the framing of a reply
to Germany would await the out
come OF these Exchanges
Reply May Not BE Delayed.
AS the allied governments were
believed to be In possession OF the
text of the German proposals,
which was made public today at
Berlin, it was not thought that a
reply would be long delayed. II
was suggested, however, that ex-
changes between Paris and London
might be necessary before a final
decision was reached.
II Secretary Hughes received
from the foreign diplomats any in
dication of the views of their gov
ernments with regard to the coun-
ter proposals, the fact was not dis
closed, nor was there any intima-
tion as to how American govern
ment officials viewed them. There
was some evidence. however, that
the statement contained in press
dispatches from Paris that the
German offer was believed to be
unacceptable to France, caused
little if any surprise,

Solid republican support of the
Knox measure was claimed on the
republican side and it was con-
ceded that several democrats again
would give 1t their vote. When
first adopted, May Is. 1920. the
senate vote was 43 to 80.
Two substitutes for the Knox
resolution are to be offered by
Senator King, democrat, Utah. One
would propose ratification of the
peace terms of the treaty of Ver-
sailles, exclusive of the league of
nations covenant, and another
would declare peace without re-
pealipt the war resolutions, re-

suggested as part of trip to

ton as a witness He would not

cial organizations of Florida. Mr..
Brown is the chief of the organization

OKLAWAHA VALLEY
MUST COME ACROSS
State Controller Amos Wires the Star
That All Back Taxes Must Be
Paid All at Once

There has been much dispute about
how the back taxes of the Oklawaha
Valley railroad could be paid in case
the receiver was allowed to issue the
certificates. Sheriff Thomas has al
ways said that he would not release
the road unless all the back taxes
and costs were paid. But a number
of people, evidently not well acquaint-
e. with the law, have maintained that
if the receiver could issue certificates
he could pay the taxes in instalments,
thousand dollars a month or more.
A dispatch to that effect was sent the
Associated Press from Palatka Mon
day night and published in Tuesday
mornings papers.
While the Star was morally certain
that the taxes could not be paid in any
such manner, it desired corroborative
evidence, and wired for the same to
State Controller Amos, from whom,
at noon today, it received the follow
ing telegram:
Tallahassee, Nov. 23-Oklawaha
Valley railroad back taxes, $4,000
and costs, must be paid in full, all at
once. Ernest Amos, Comptroller.

LAND ARMAMtNTS
UNDER DISCUSSION
Premier BRAND DESTROYS of Putting
Powers On Record Before He
Returns to France

Washington, Nov. 23.-(Associated
Press).-The delegations represent
ing the five great powers went into
the first executive conference on land
armaments today with the French
hoping that negotiations would be
pressed to the point of a formal ex-
preston of some character before the
departure of Premier BRAND for
France. BRAND would like the pow
ers to definitely declare for the sup
port of France in her determination
not 70 weaken materially her army,
but it was recognized that important
obstacles might lie in the way of So
formal pledge. Discussion of land
armament momentarily overshadowed
developments of other subjects Of
naval reduction and the far east and
deviation from the prepared program
i9 understood TO have resulted from
the French desire to put the powers
on record before the departure of
Premier BRAND.
There was no definite declaration
of policy at today's land armament
deliberations.
