DECALRESGERMANY
MEETING DEMANDS
Tardieu Says 2o,ooo,ooo,o 900
Marks Has Already Been
Paid to Allies.
BY PAUL SCOTT MowRER.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
Copyright, 1921
PARIS. France, January 1.-Renew-
ing his campaign in favor of the trea-
ty of Versailles, Andre Tardieu,
French delegate to the peace con-
ference. declares that not only can
the treaty be enforced. but that it is
actually being fulfilled In proof of
this he cites the sensational and
hitherto unknown fact that Germany
has already delivered to the allies res
titution and separations amounting to
more than 10000. 600. 900 marks (nor-
mally $4,000. 900. o00). This fact, de-
clares M. Tardieu in ILLUSTRATION,
has been withheld by the government
in order to mislead the people, there
by indirectly sustaining Germany's
favorite claim that the treaty can
not be executed.
Germans Can Execute Treaty.
Germany. according to M Tardieu,
knows perfectly well that the treaty
can be executed, and only fears that
the allies will insist on it, II the
treaty is not practical. he argues,
how does it happen that it is already
Indeed, the treaty provides that be-
tween January 10 last and May 1

tuition of all the moneys, shares, ami
mails and objects seized during the
occupation of northern France; Sec
ond. shall pay the allies 20, 00O, 000.-

ships, shares or otherwise, and third,

$4,000. oo0.o0ol. together with a
promise to deliver on demand still a
third note for 10000, 100000 gold
marks.
What has actually happened? On
May 81. the last date for which the
figures are available, France had re-
covered $500. 100000 francs (normally
$1.260.ooo. 000), worth of stolen shares,
moneys and precious objects, and
100000 tons of Stolen machines and
material. To date Germany has paid
to the allies in gold. goods, ships and
shares a sum estimated at around
$4,000. 100000 or $4,000, 00O, 900 marks

vacillations of the allies and de-
spite the fact that the reparations

girls and leads. The answers came
quickly, and then, on beautifully
engraved stationery. tha applicants
were told a tale of trip to Cali

to sail the South seas, drop anchor
at Egypt and cruise the European
waters. The only requisite was a
deposit of $50 to keep away Curl
osity seekers"
The money came with answers
such as the following:
Il am five feet four and very
pretty. Enclosed is $50"
Then along came the agents of
the Post Office Department and
spoiled the plan. Hubert Settles
and his wife are under arrest and
post office inspectors say they
have scores of letters from girls
ambitious to be screen heroines,
and also the engraved replies.
