Hun Proposals, II Made in Good Faith
Should Have Been Addressed to

prospective occupation Of the indus
trial region of Germany as q foregone
conclusion and declared that the OPP
Grafton would have not only 4 great
moral effect upon Germany but would
give material results. Referring tc
the proposals addressed to Washing

III Germany wanted to show good
faith in executing the treaty OF Yer
sailles. she had only to address her
proposals to the reparations commits
sion. as has been done in other cases.
The fact that she applied to an
intermediary is suspicious in itself,
all the more so on account OF the fact
that she waited until the eve of the
day of reckoning to apply to the Unit
ed States in the hope that the Amer
lean government would intervene and
that an intermnable discussion would
follow. during which French public
opinion would be unneryed and Ger
man propaganda would work on
foreign opinion with a view to d.

SURRENDER UNCONDITIONALLY
Serious Danger From the Murgula Re-
voIs. IL Is Said, Has Been Ayerted
by Federal Troop Operations.

Mexico City.-Rebel chiefs will in
future receive no promise OF amnesty
from the Mexican government Per-
sonal orders were sent to military
commanders in all districts by Presl.
dent Obregon that all rebels holding
ranks higher than captain must sur
render unconditionallly This order
came as result of indirect offers by
Francisco Murguia through various
agents to cease rebel activities II
promised executive lenency.
In administration circles here. the
Presidents order is taken as evidence
that General Obregon feels he is
strong enough to cope with the threat
ening situations without temporizing
or giving concessions. There have
been persistent rumors that MeXicans
now in the United States were plan
ming revolution in this country, but
they hcve caused the President little
apparent alarm. When Pablo Con
zaIes was reported to have crossed
the international boundary at the
head of considerable force, the
President expressed small concern,
declaring It was mere escape valve
for malcontents."
Operations by Federal troops have
averted any serious danger from the
Murguia revolt, IT is said in war OF.

OUTCOME OF VITAL INTEREST

That the Allies Ultimately VIII

washington. The United States
government considers the Allies debt

of the Allies and deems unacceptable
the suggestion made oy Germany that
She take it over as part payment OF

italy and Belgium.
This attitude on the part OF the
American government may be form
ally expressed If the United States
ever transmits the recent German
PREPARATION proposal to the Allies as a
basis for discussion, but inasmuch as
such step is for the moment un'
likely. the chances are that America
will avoid formal comment on the
German proposition as 1t affects our
foreign loans.
While the Washington government
is vitality interested in the outcome OF
the reparaton negotiations. because
Of the far.reaching effect that a settle
ment would have on the world eco
monte situation, the official viewpoint
mere is that the Allies will be well able
ultimately to pay their debts to the
United States irrespective of the rep
aration money forthcoming from Ger
