IMPORTANT POST
 GIVEN PERSHING
WILL TAKE CHARGE OF WHOLE PROBLEM OF PREPARED
 NESS FOR WAR.

Washington.-"In the event of an other war I want it to be possible to issue an order that will put the army on the move on an hours notice"
 Thus spoke Secretary of War Weeks in announcing the decision of the president to place General Persh- ing in charge of plans of great magni- tude for the war organization of the army.
 General Pershing will be appointed head of skeletonized general head quarters of the army, which vii have supervision of all organization of the land forces and national resources to achieve complete preparedness for war.
 In the event of war General Persh- ment automatically would become commander of the army Tn time of peace the chief of staff will remain the military head of the army It is not unlikely that General Harbord, who was General Pershing's chief of ottISl III p dACc, VIII 6uCCGCQ OOuGI al March as chief of staff of the army
 We are going to have a skeleton ized general headquarters, establish ed in the War Department, said Sec retary Weeks. Its purpose will be to keep us instantly prepared for active military operations and the details will be given out later, but General Pershing will be the head of the ac- tivities. Details of the plan are diff ficult to arrange owing to the word ing of the laws, but the chief of staff will continue direction of the army in time of peace.
 "In this way the army is to be made ready in time of peace to act instantly and effectively in time of war Before the late war Marshal Joffre had been selected to command the armies of France and had pre- pared skeletonized headquarters that would be available for instant action in case of war and it so functioned when war was declared. We can do no better than follow that successful example,
 There have been several confer ences on the matter participated in by the president, Mir Weeks and General Pershing. These discussions are said to have taken wide range and to have included consideration of international relations and general policies of national defense. The president is reported to have ex. pressed himself strongly in favor of adequate preparedness for war.

GREAT BRITAIN TO
 SUPPORT FRANCE
APPROVES MEASURES TO FORCE GERMANY TO PAY WAR
 INDEMNITY.

Lympne, England. It is Great Britain's intention to abide by the provisions of the agreement arrived at in Paris last February with regard to what steps should be taken to CO., cree Germany into meeting her repa- rations debt; she agrees that failure by Germany to meet her obligations in this respect should be met with further pressure.
 This became known in the course of meeting between Premier Briand and Premier Lloyd George, who came here to confer on the situation arising from Germany's stand on the repara- tions question and to decide what is to be done if she continues her re- caleitrant attitude.
 M. Briand explained to the British prime minister at conference the French proposals for setting up an economic administration in part of Westphalia, including the Ruhr coal basin, should the Germans fail to pay the reparations due May 1. The pro- ceeds of this administration, such as taxation on coal exports and excess profits duties levied on German indus rtial establishments would, under the French plan, be placed in a pool our of which the separations would be paid the allies.
 Although Mir. Lloyd George doubt less was aware of the general charac. ter of the French plans from the com munications exchanged between the British and French foreign offices, NJ. Briand expressed the wish to explain personally some of the important feat ures affecting the general policy of the allies, in order to attain complete unity of purpose. The conversations, therefore, began with a rather ex- tended exposition of the French scheme by M. Briand and Phillips Berthelot of the French Foreign Of fee, with MT. Lloyd George interrog- ating them.

WOULD PLEDGE CUSTOMS REV. lENUE IF DESIRED BY
 ALLIES.
TEXT IS STILL WITHHELD
Berlin Declares Proposals Are lntri. cate and Fears "Misinterpretation." Offer 200 Billion Marks as
 Against 226 Billion.

Berlin.-The ultimate total indem' nity which Germany agrees to pay the allies is. 200,000,000, 900 gold marks, against 226,0O0, 100000 demanded by the allies in their Paris terms. This is positively stated by those close to the government, although the German counter-proposals have not been made public here
 Dr. Simons, foreign secretary, did not present the new proposals to the Reichstag today, for the reason that there is a paragraph in the note to President Harding suggesting that he feel free to query back for further information on any point not clear, be- fore submitting the note to the en- tente.
 The Germans suggest making the annuities in the payment of the repa- rations flexible, dependent upon the recovery of German industries. An international loan is suggested, to be 1oated immediately, for the purpose of placing ready cash at the disposal of the entente, but no sum is named.
 Germany expresses her willingness to pledge the customs revenues as guarantees, and further offers to de- liver manufactured articles to the al lies with the understanding that Ger many will pay the producers and get credit on the indemnities. Germany also offers immediate participation in the work Of restoration in the devas- tated areas; labor and materials to be supplied by Germany and credited against the indemnities.
 No suggestion is made of Germany's willingness to assume the indebted ness of the allied powers to the United States.
 Germany's counter-proposals are so intricate and involved that the ex- perts who have read them express the opinion that they may be misinter- preted, as the London offer was, by persons who did not analyze them carefully and work out the total amount that would have been yielded.
