OFFER NEAR
ALLIES DEMANDS
GERMANY AGREES TO PAY
100000, 100000 GOLD
MARKS

The ultimate total indemnity which
Germany agrees to pay the Allies is
100000, 100000 gold marks, as against
226OOO, 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, says news
despatch from Berlin.
DR.. Simons, the foreign secretary,
did not present the new proposals to
the Reichstag because of an under
standing with the American embas-
sy, and for the additional reason that
there is a paragraph in the note to
President Harding suggesting that
he feel free to query back for further
information or for the eludication of
any point not clear, if he so DESIRES
before submitting the note to the En-
tente.
Consequently, the German press and
public, and even the party leaders,
have not seen the counter proposals,
and their publication is eagerly await
ed.
The Germans suggest making the
annuities in the payment of the repa-
rations flexible, dependent upon the re-
eovery of German industries An In
ternational loan is suggested, to be
foated Immediately, to place 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
hes, with the understanding that Ger
many will pay the producers and get
credits 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 Indebtedness
of the allied powers to the United
States.
Germany's contemporaries are SO
intricate and involved that the ex-
perts who have read them express the
opinion that they may be misinterpret-
ed, as the London offer was by per-
sons who did not analyze them care
fully and work out the total amount
that would have yielded.

A Holiday for Them

Now that Senator Pomerene, Of
Ohio, and Senator King, Of Utah,
have obtained all the publicity there
Is to be had out of their naval holi-
day resolutions, let them subside
until the President and Mr.. Hughes
call upon them for assistance. The
two gentlemen might we'll have
chosen some other means to reassure
the folks back home that they are in
Washington.
Mr.. Pomerene and Mr.. King, by
the simplest of telephone inquiries
addressed to the Navy Department,
could have learned that there was no
necessity for their resolutions. Prac-
tically all of the 1921 construction
appropriation has been expended.
Work has ceased on some ships and
on others it is being carried on at a
reduced pace.
1t is to be hoped that the Naval
Affairs Committee will let both reso-
lutions die a proper and befitting
death. The committee in all propri-
ETY. might suggest to both the gentle
men from Ohio and Utah that they
GO on holiday until the conference
has adjourned.

The Knights Garry On

The will to be practically helpful
which animated so many American
organizations in war time did not
die out with the armistice, nor has
it yet lost vigor. The faculty Of be-
ing useful has grown with exercise,
ard the executive capacity which
various groups with common in
terest learned in the stressful davs
is put at the disposal of the COM
munity.
A current instance Of the expan-
sion of beneficial activities is fur
nished by the New York Chapter of
the knights Of Columbus, which, un-
til December s, is engaged in cam
palgn to establish a social service
welfare center in this city. The
building which is planned will be a
community asset. 1t will be freely
available to the general public as
well as furnishing headquarters fol

Until now he was lacking. BY this

many feas in his fur that he is in
danger OF being eaten alive"
Such utterances, there is reason
to believe. arc approved by only a
small fraction of the men and women
of German birth or extraction in
this country They come from an
insignificant minority of stupid "die
hards" or from professional hyphen-
ates financially interested in keep
ing hatreds and animosities alive.
nuA inevitably their words are
quoted and accepted as reflexes of
the opinions of large numbers who
thus become victims Of cruel preju-
dices. Why do the injured fail to
suppress their most malignant ira
ducers. Obviously such publications
as the "Freie Presse,' with their
coarse and vulgar abuse, are foes to
all of German names.

1t is fortunate for France that
Britain is not populated by H. G.
Wellses; for it is perfectly clear that
only the depressing minority of H.
G.'s personality and views withholds
him from leading a horde of inter
nationalized Wellses straight on
Paris, bundling the iniquitous Foch
off to some convenient st. Helena
and propagandizing the entire
French nation out of existence. Pcr-
haps, as a concession to that human
ity which persists in all Of us despite
our saner sentiments, or merely to
preserve once noble name, the
octogenarian communist, Anatole
France, might be permitted to live.
Why this, er-furor Teutonicus?
Why, indeed? Mr.. Wells discloses
his reasons with his usual matchless
logic and philosophic restraint in his
comment on M. Brands speech at
the conference pledging reduction
of the French army by half. When
England reduces ker preponderant
navy, this liberal fictionist explains.
it is reduction; but when France re-
duces her preponderant army it is
not reduction, but economy. True,
had not such a distinction sprung
from the typewriter of the Great In
ternationalist it might have been
taken for the chauvinism of an insu-
lar greengrocer stuck with a hoard
Of tumbling marks. But watt
France, with her thick-strewn dead
scarcely fertilizing her timid crops,
with load of debt which is the de-
spair of her economists and despite
her admitted thriftiness with her
army, is preparing another vast war.
Against whom? Would you believe
it? Against Great Britain! Even
now she is in the act to strike. Every
submarine she launches is "a direct
breach of the peace" And, appar-
entity, also every poilu she supports
to keep Ludendorff in mufti.
For has not France for three whole
years--in fact, ever since she per-
suaded the gentle Germans to leave
her soil unsoiled-been the bully of
the world? Jdh! Did she not dis
arm the German soldiery-and By
force, mind you? Jah! And did she
not slam the doors of Europe in the
face of the Bolsheviki when Kane.
rad Lenine knocked so prettily at
the gates of Warsaw? Jah! Mr..
Wells does not even omit the made
in-Essen jibe about sthe gallant Sen
egalese."
But Great Britain, hints Mr..
Wells, can take care Of herself. It
is for poor, innocent, happy-go-Iucky
America that his heart really bleeds.
Foch is here, strutting about as a
hero, but--sh-h-h!--once upon q
time there was bad, wicked man

Americas Commercial Aviation

The first annual report on conf
mercial aviation, just made public
by the Navy Department., while
covering only tho operations of one
company clearly shows that COM
mercial aerial transport in this
country does not suffer by compari-
son with the activities Of European
air lines. In fact, it shows that in
the matter Of safety America leads
Europe.
Americans returning from Europe
have brought glowing reports con-
cerning air travel there, and the
cables have been kept busy transmit
ting detailed descriptions Of the scrv-
ices maintained on the Continent, all
to the apparent detriment of Ameri-
can endeavor. In fact, it has been
broadly intimated that commercial
aviation here had been sadly and
reverently laid in premature
grave.
Now we find in the report received
by Rear Admiral Moffett, head of
the new bureau of aeronautics of the
Navy Department, that American
civil air transport, far from being
extinct, las established record for
itself which even the brilliant per-
formances Of European air lines
cannot equal.
The first company reporting to the
Navy Department is the Aeromarine
Always, and the report shows that
during the last year no fewer than
6,Sl4 passengers were carried dis
tance of 95,020 miles without q sin
gle accident or mishap. In addition
to this the flying boats operated by
this service transported 29,002
pounds Of mail and freight.
Included in these operations is the
remarkable 'cross-country fight of
! the Santa Maria, one Of thc big
United States Navy air cruisers con-
verted into an eleven passenger
cabin airplane. This flying boat
made q complete circumnavigation
of the eastern half Of the United
States, Starting from Key West,
Fla, it flew up the Atlantic sea-
board to this city, and then began a
'cross-c country flight over the inland
waterways, along the Hudson River
Valley and Lakes George and Cham
plain to Montreal, thence over the
Great Lakes to Chicago. From the
latter city it flew over the Illinois
and Mississippi River valleys to
Now Orleans, total air distance of
seven thousand miles.
If American aerial transport COM
panies can in the coming year main
tain this remarkable performance
with an equal degree of safety the
threatened and feared European
commercial air invasion will never
materialize.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-23

the Pacific fleet rarely puts to sea
with more than one battleship division
and thus is able but seldom to conduct
the feet maneuvers which alone can
forge the whole into a homogeneous
armada. OF course he is totally devoid
of battle-cruisers or fast scouts Gun
less he uses his destroyers for this
purpose, to which they are ill-suited)
and is thus Handicapped by blindness
which can only put him at q disadvan-
tage if opposed to al enemy with fast
vessels as auxiliaries
The Atlantic fleet, on the other hand,
is greatly inferior in ships of the line
to the Pacific fleet 1t boasts five 12-
inch-gun dreadnoughts (the Utah is
our European flagship and two IA
inch; several hundred destroyers
(mostly "in reserve'') and no fast
scouts or battle-cruisers. But the navy
yards and large drydocks are concen-
trated within short distance of one
another and are therefore adequate
for use by fleet OF much greater pro-
portions.
1t is one Of. the oldest maxims Of
strategy, both on sea and land, that
the way of safety lies in concentra-
ton. General Grant was a great ex-
ponent of this theory; so was Nelson:
and Mahan has set it forth in most of
his works on naval strategics. Were
we to stop playing politics and cater
ing to factional and sectional prefer
ences, we would straightway abolish
our two inadequate fleets" and imme-
dlately concentrate our available and
not be -despised resources into one
real fleet, whose base should be any
where upon our coasts where for the
moment it would do the most good
1t could readily move from the At
lantic 10 the Pacific and back again
using mainly the dockyard facilities on
the Eastern front until those in Cali
fornia and Washington could be i'm
proved and enlarged sufficiently; and
conduct its maneuvers in all the vari-
Gus waters where some day it might
unhappily be called into action.

Stephane Lauzanne's Attitude

Sir: [ have read with profound re-

This is the second time Mr.. Lau-
zanne, correctly or incorrectly, brings
up dead past to cloud the brilliant
future of tomorrow. In all conscience
is this playing the game fairly? Must
we have petty, personal animosities
