ALLIED REPLY
TO GERMANY
SENT TONIGHT
Special Couriers Will Carry
Answer of Rep arations S
Committee to Note An
nouncing Inability to Pay.
DEBTORS NOTE BRIEF
CBy Associated Press)

PARIS, Dec 16-The reply of the
allied reparations committee to the
note of the German governor announc-
ing its inability 20 pay the next two
reparations installments, will be for
warded TO Berlin tonight by special
courier.
The allied commission, meeting to-
day to consider the German no.ice OF
inability to pay the next two install
ments in full and requesting extension
of time. virtually agreed that the com
mission itself should take definite &C
ton on the request instead of referr-
ing the question to the allied govern
mentS..
Dr. Mayer, the German ambassador
delivered to Premier BRAND today a
copy of the German reparations note
The German embassy announced that
DIR. Mayors visit was limited to this
errand and that there was no truth
in the report that he had presented d
formal demand for delay in the pay
ments or for moratorium.
German Note Brief.
Customs receipts and revenues from
other sources which Germany has in
| tended to use in making the payments
had netted only from 150,000,000 t
/ 200, ,000,0 gold marks, the note con
| tinued. The length of the delay re
quested was not mentioned, but NJ
request was made for a moratorium
Although the note cannot be de
scribed as curt, it is regarded in repa
rations circles as remarkable for it
| lack of details or expression of regre
over its failure to live up to the agree
ment.
! For these and other reasons, tn
note has made an unfavorable in
preston in French circles, wher
what is termed the apparent effort O
Germany to place responsibility 70
/ her unsuccessful loan negotiations O.
the shoulders of British finapciers
the subject of much comment.
Papers Bitter
''Will the Ruhr be occupied thi
timer" Germany annot pay, bu
her industry pays so per cent div
dends" These are some of the cal
/ tions in the morning newspapers
/ straws that show which way the win
of opinion blows. The note surprise
none of the observers, but strengtl
ems the feeling on the part of the m;
jority of them that moderation is u.s.
less with Germany, the big stick b'
ing the only policy understood by he
in their opinion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - The
French delegation has presented a
proposal for SO great an increase in
the strength of the French navy that
the British declare such a program.
| if carried out, would upset the whole
plan for a 5-5-3 naval reduction
Although not yet entirely revealed.
the British understanding is that the
| French plan provides the construction
of ten 35,--ton super-dreadnaughts in
the 10 years subsequent to 1925
These vessels. of a type similar to
the American battleship Maryland,
would give France a capital ship ton
mage of $4,000 as against $4,000 for
! Japan, and preponderance Of new
! ''post-jutland' type craft over all ma
| tions.
| Italy to Follow
Italy, although indicating disapproF-
al of such building program, is said
to have told the arms conference that
! if France constructs 10 such ships she
must carry out similar building pro-
gram.
fleets thus would be some 100000 tons
| stronger than the British or AmeTi-
can allottments under the revised fig
ures agreed upon yesterday by the
big three.
In the agreement on the 5-5-3 ratio,
as formally announced by the commit
tee late yesterday, the United States
and Great Britain acceded to Japan's
desire to retain the Mutsu with pro-
portionate changes in the American
and British fleets. Under these changes
the United States will retain the near
ly completed battleships, Colorado and
Washington in place of the North Da
koto and the Delaware, while Great
Britain will build two ships and scrap
four older ones when these are com
pleted.
Ratio Maintained
) The increases in tonnage resulting
for all three powers adhere to the or.
iginal ratio of the Hughes proposal
The agreement was reported on the
basis of a status quo understanding az
to the fortification of the Pacific
: islands.
With the far eastern committee of
the whole still in adjournment, nego-
tlations on that side of the program
were confined today to the conference
l between the Japanese and Chinese del
. gates on Shantung. The question OF
! financial settlement for restoration OF
the kiachow railroad to Chinese gov
ernment remained unsettled when the
: two delegates resumed negotiations

FRIENDS OF ELSTON
MYSTIFIED BY WORD
S0L0N KILLED SELF
(Ry Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16-Friends
of Congressman Elston here and at
his home in Berkeley, across San Fran
cisco Bay, expressed themselves as
mystified today by reports from Wash
ington indicating he had taken his
life
Mr.. Elston occupied a prominent
place in the community and his career
both as an attorney and as a member
of congress was regarded as success
full. He was serving his fourth term
in congress. Mr.. Elston had been
active in California politics for some
time. He was one of the original
members of the Lincoln Republican
league, which was credited with eff
fecting the election OF Hiram Johnson,
now senior senator from California, as
Governor. He was married in 1911 to
Tallulah LeCOnte, daughter of the
first president of the University of
California. Three children were born
to them, the youngest only two weeks
ago.
Associates here agreed that Mr..
Elston was disappointed keenly over
failure of legislative plans which
would have placed a proposed Pacific
naval base at Alameda, in his home
district.
His business and financial affairs
were in excellent shape, according to
Frank L. Naylor, president of Berke
ley bank of which Elston was a di
rector.
WASHINGTON, Dec 16.-The house
adjourned today until tomorrow out
of respect to Representative John A
Elston, California, whose body was
found last night in the Potomac river
Immediately after cOnvening the
house adopted resolutions of regret
and authorized selection of a commit
tee of IS members to accompany the
body to California, should burial be
made there. Funeral arrangements
were being held in allegiance today
pending instructions from members OF
Mr.. Elston's family.

COLLIERIES CLOSING
BECAUSE HARD COAL
DEMAND FALLING OFF
(Rv Associated Pressl

SCRANTON, Pa, Dec 16.-Nearly
sc, 900 workers in the Northern Anthra-
cite region will be made idle within a
few days unless there is an improve
ment in the demand for hard coal.
Approximately Is 900 are already
out of work for this reason and COM
panies employing more than $4,000
men and boys have announced they
also will suspend operations unless
an unexpected demand for coal ap-
pears. A number of mines are work
ing on part time.
Eight collieries of the Lehigh Valley
coal company are closed because of a
strike, about 5000 men being affected.
The unusually light demand for
coal was said to be due chiefly to the
mild weather that has prevailed.

BOTH BRITISH HOUSES
RkTIFv new TREATY
cTtkTING IRISH STATE
CBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Dec 16.-Both houses Of
the British parliament ratified the
treaty creating the Irish free state by
overwhelming majorities this after
noon after final argument in favor OF
ratification, presented in the house OF
commons by Austen Chamberlain, the
government leader, and in the house
of lords by Chancellor Birkenhead.
Both houses voted emphatic rejection
of the Unionist amendments to the
kings address from the throne.
If these amendments had been
adopted it would have had the effect
of killing the treaty.
Members of the imperial parliament
and of the Dali Eireann at Dublin
gathered again today for discontinued
discussion of the Irish peace treaty
There was slight hope that decision
woud be reached today by the Dali,
which again met in secret and it was
thought that the public session at
which the vote would be taken would
not be held until tomorrow, and pos,
sibly might be deferred until next
week
Vote Expected Today.
A vote OF ratification was expected
today in both houses of the imperial
pdTIldIlbut, Dul lildI DOuN the SONGTi-
ment had announced would not be pro-
rogued until the Dail's decision was
received.
While nowhere was there the least
doubt that the treaty would be rat
fled by a large majority at Westmiu-
ster, anxiety was expressed here as to
its ultimate fate in Dublin where pro
longation of the Dail's secret sessions
was regarded as an undesirable sym
ptom.
DUBLIN, Dec 16-The crowd greet
ing the members of the dali eireann
at the entrance of University college
was much thinner today than on III
two previous days of its consideration
| of the Irish peace treaty
The private sessions of the dali, il
is declared in some quarters, have
| been devoted largely to an attempt 10
| discover some method whereby it can
accept the treaty and at the same time
not register a defeat for Eamon De
| Valera and his followers. The prin-
| cipal difficulty in the way is said 10
/ be De Valera himself. The dali can
| not accept or reject the treaty but can
not make fresh one without renewed
negotiations, yet parts of the debate
in secret session are said to have been
| concerned with the details as to how
the delegates might have secured bet
| ter terms.
