US. WITH ALLIES
FORPAYMEN1OF
DAMAGE CLAIMS
Germany Notified to Expect
No Aid Nor Comfort on
This Question.
By DGUid laurence,
Especial Correspondent Of The Eve
nina Worldly

WASHINGTON, May 3 Copyright.
1921. THE United States Government
has notified Germany that she can
expect neither aid nor comfort from
the Harding Administration in the
controversy over the payment OF
damage done in the war.
This, in effect. is the plain mean
ing OF the note dispatched by Pres-
dent Harding and Secretary Hughes
advising Germany not only that her
recent reparation offer made through
the medium OF the United States was
unacceptable even as basis OF dis
cussion but telling Berlin to nego-
tiate directly hereafter with London
and Paris.
What particularly aroused the folks
here was the cablegram from Berlin to
the effect that Germany would pay no
attention to the Allied conference in
London OF last Saturday ~ long as
the door to the White House was
open. The Germans hoped for Amer
can diplomatic Intervention as a
means OF splitting the Allies or at
least softenlng the French demands
Tut the Harding Administration, sem
sitive about the taunts OF ccrta. IN
Americans OF German descent who
have been telling Berlin that as soon
As the Wilson Administration passed
out OF power President Harding would
prove himself the friend OF Germany
rs opposed to the Allies, has taken
! occasion to remove any doubt con-
cernlng the Administrations pro-Auy
stand. SO determined is the United
States to range itself alongside the
Allies in the rcparation controversy,
that the White House has again and
again asked the press to emphasize
] the point.

new ALLIED TERMS
REDUCE GERMANY'S
= ANNUAL PAYMENTS
Thirty Seven Year Bonds
Agreed On, With S Per Cent.
Interest and Sinking Fund.
SCHEME IS PRACTICAL.
Takes All TeutonS Can Pay
and at Same Time Preserves
Her Industries.

LONDON, May 3 (Associated
Press). After approving the meas
ures for the occupation of the Ruhr
valley should Germany fail to com
ply with the terms of the Allied ulti-
matum, and also discussing the ques-
ton OF naval demonstration, the
Allied Supreme Council to-day
completed Its examination of the
financial clauses OF the reparation
demands, which were virtually agreed
upon by the Drafting Committee.
1t was agreed that the bonds which
Germany Is to issue as n guarantee
for her roparation payments should
run for thirty-seven years, with In
tercst at per cent, plus per cent.
for n sinking fund, and in addition,
by way of the sinking fund, the in
terest on the amortiZed bonds. In
other words, the interest on the
bonds not issued will be payable
into the sinking fund.
In the view of the council these
proposals have the advantage OF not
imposing upon Germany fixed annui-
ties so large rs those laid down in
the Paris terms, and also of providing
practical scheme by which the Al
lies will receive the utmost farthing
Germany is able to pay, with due re-
gard TO the preservation of the Ger
man Industries, upon which the Ger
man payments depend.
The matter of the appointment OF
receiver general for the German
customs was not pressed, and it was
decided that the action of the Rep
aration Commission should be con-
fined to the disposal OF the funds
provided from the German customs.
Opinion in the conference was that
the commercial result produced by
the economic penalties authorized by
the recent London conference of the
Allies had been satisfactory, the re-
ccipts from the Allied customs barr er
on the Rhine having amounted to
l5O, 900 paper marks in one month.

Former Wife of Grahame-Whits
Reported to Wed Count
Carlo di FraSSo.

That a wedding may soon climax
the six weeks romance which Mrs
Dorothy Caldwell Taylor of No. $40
Park Avenue. formerly the wife OF
Claude Grahame White, the British
aviator, and Count di Frasso have
enjoyed since the Italian nobleman
has been a guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bertram l.. Taylor. the parents OF
Mrs. Taylor. is not denied by close
friends of Mrs. Taylor and the Count
to-day. Mr.. Taylor. when inter-
viewed to-day by reporter for The
Evening World. said with a SLY
twinkle in his eyes:
I'm sorry not TO be able to tell you
anything. l don't give darn what
they (his daughter and the CounO
say. but won't NEEDLE in their
affairs. I'm sorry"
The Count and Mrs. Taylor boil
refused to affirm or deny that they
would soon be married. The Count
recently received an annulment de-
cree in Rome from the former
Georgine Wilde, daughter Of Mrs.
Henry Siegel.
The rumOr first came to light when
Mrs. Taylor reported the loss on sun
day of eight lagc sapphires, each set
in diamonds. The stones once belonged
to Russian Grand Duchess.
The stones lost by Mrs, Taylor were
part of a $4,000 necklace, sold, it is
said, during the Bolsheyik revolution.

MAYOR PUTS VETO
ON ANOTHER BILL
TOBOOST SALARIES
Would Hold in Jobs as De.
tectiveS at So, 800 a Year
Swarm of FavoritieS.

Mayor Hylan to-day killed another
tory legislation at Albany, which de-
by vetoing the measure creating a
Detective Division in the Police De-
partment and raising to $4,000 a year
the salaries OF all members of the
force who happened to be in the De-
tective Bureau on March Is last. II
was claimed by opponents of the bill
that If II had been enacted into law
large group OF favOrites who had
been shifted to detective details prior
to March 10 would have been the di-
rect beneficaries, Among these were
about hundred patrolmen doing
clerical work in connection with the
Detective Bureau.
While the Mayor says in his memo
randum accompanying to-day's veto
that the signing OF the Detective Di-
vision bill would add only several
hundred thousand dollars to the pay
rolls, he opposed the measure because
he explains, the city is already finan-
cially overburdened through mandP,
tory legislation at Albany.
The Mayors memorandum follows:
This bill, If it became a law
would add several hundred thousand
dollars to the budget. There is a de-
ficiency now in the Board of Educa-
tion of $27000,O0O caused by manda-
tory legislation at Albany which de-
ficiency must be met in next years
budget.
IL regret exceedingly 20 be Obliged
TO withhold my approval from a bill
which has such merit, but the finan-
! cial condition OF the city win not
/ permit me 10 approve IL,
Il return the bill disapproved."

HARDING CABINET
TOLD SHIP STRIKE
OUTLOOK IMPROVES
Admiral Benson Calls Upon
Naval Reserve to Move
u. S. Mail Ships.

WASHINGTON. May 3.-Hopatul
progress in the efforts to end the dis
pute between the marine workers and
ship owners was reported to Presi-
dent Harding's Cabinet to-day by
Secretary Davis. After the Cabinet
adjourned the Labor Department
head went into conference with the
representatives of the workers.
Shipping Board officials also were
hopeful that the controversy would
be brought to an end soon. They
thought the refusal of the owners to
submit the controversy to a Federal
mediation commission would force
the issue as to acceptance by the
men of the 15 per cent wage cut
ordered by the Shipping Board on
Government merchant craft.
Chairman Benson of the Shipping
Board will look to naval reserviscs
and discharged navy seamen to keeT
American transatlantic mail ships
in operation during the present wage
dispute between the board and ma
rinc workers If their services art
necessary.
The Chairman announced to-day
he had asked the Comfnandant of the
Navy Yard at New York to lend
whatever assistance he could to move
the United States mails He said the
request was made especially with ref
erence to the Old North State. due tc
leave New York to-day for London
but it is not the plan to man Govern
ment mail ships with naval seamen
He also declared there was no inten-
ton to use military force in the con-
troversy, nor was 1t the plan to ask
the Secretary of the Navy for assist
ance.
There are, the Chairman said, a
| number Of Naval Reserve men and
discharged navy seamen who could
| be used in manning the Government
merchant craft, and the cooperation
OF the New York Navy Yard Com
mandant was sought in this direction
At the Labor Department greater
optimism characterized the attitude
of officials as conferences were ar
ranged with Secretary Davis durins
the day with w. s. Brown, represent
ing the shipowners; Andrew Furl'
seth, President of the Internationa
Seamen's Union, and a delegation
from the Marine Engineers Benef
cial association. Secretary Davis
was t talk with these groups sep
arately after the regular meeting o
the Cabinet to-day, and hopes wer,
expressed that a way to settlemen
