velopments as to German reparations
at the meeting of the supreme
council. Interest was manifested
howevor as to the amount of repara-
tions 1t had been decided TO impose
as n result of the agreement reached
today. 1t was reiterated that the
American government stands with
the allied governments in holding
Germany responsible to the full of
her ability to pay but any plan that
will unduly restrict her economical
recuperation would be considered un-
wise. In case the terms arrived at
are in accord with this position. 1T is
expected tho German counterpro-
posals will not bo forwarded from
Washington.
The extension of time reported as
agreed upon is expected to give op-
portunity for American officials and
public opinion to register itself on tho
new reparations demands.

ENGLAND AND FRANCE AGREE

And Manner OF

London, England. May 1.-(By The

on how to deal with Germany TO com

announce that the reparations com
mission will notify Germany as to inc
| how it is TO be paid. The allies will
then announce that within ten days
| this period being subject to possible
modification by the supreme council.
they will proceed to carry out the
penalties il the terms are not met.
The plan provides for supervision
and control of Germany's sources OF
revenue. 1t is not vet completed but
while the experts are working on It,
| France will proceed with all her mill
| tary preparations to occupy the Ruhr.
| This is the general result OF an agi-
tated day of conversations and con-
ference. The agreement was brought
about by the intervention of the Bel
gian foreign minister NJ. Jaspar at
the supreme council this afternoon
The subject will come up for discus
sion again at the council meeting to-
| morrow.
The French premier asked for Bri
tish naval cooperation suggesting tho
| blockade OF Hamburg. The British
premier replied that American pub
lie opinion would not approve such
a course and he could not agree.
NJ. BRAND agreed to this point OF
view. He added that the course of
the United States had been correct.
Uneasiness still exists among French
delegates over the possibility that
Washington may endeavor to medi-
ate; they declare this would not be
| acceptable.
NJ. BRAND and the French delesa-
ton were sitting late tonight with
General Nollet, president of tho in
teralled commission. Tho French arc
not entirely satisfied with today's de-
velopments and the idea of an ulti-
matum.
| NJ. BRAND was ayerse to delay and
1t is understood he had undertaken
that, failing Germany's compliance,
some move should be made today.
Request having been made by tho
cabinet council that NJ. Jaspar's pro-
posal be put into draft form. a draft
ing committee sat for ninety minutes
tonight Adjournment was then taken
Until tomorrow. Consequently the
morning sitting of the supreme coun-
Gil was postponed to afternoon.

BRAND as telling the French journal

approval and that Lord Curzon had
presented another draft so they had
to try to involve a draft cmbodyinE
