GERMANY ASKED TO
STATE PROPOSALS
LONDON CONFERENCE MAY BE
ABANDONED If COUNTERPART
PosAL is UNSATISFACTORY
German Political Observers Are of
the Opinion That Germans Are
Looking Forward to Confer
ference With Little Optimism.

Paris.-Germany has been asked by
Great Britain and France to commit.
nicate to them the contemporaries
of the Berlin government before the
opening of the London conference,
which is fixed for March /, says the
Journal. The newspaper adds: 1T
would not be surprising if the con-
ference should become unnecessary be-
cause of the decisive character of the
German offers" In this case, 1t is
said, the allies will notify Germany
of their decisions and give the Ger
man cabinet few days to make
known If 1t accepts or refuses to ex-
ecute them.
Judging from the speech delivered
in Karlsruhe by DIR. Walter Simons,
foreign minister, says a Berlin dis
patch, German political observers are
of the opinion that he is looking for
ward to the PREPARATIONS conference
with little optimism. IF we do not ac-
cept the Paris decisions" he is quoted
as saying, measures looking to the
breaking up of the empire will come
into force. But any attack from the
outside on the constitution of the en-
pire, ! gather from my tour Of south
Germany, would meet with the unani-
nous resistance of the people.
i am going to London feeling that
the idea Of the inviolability of the EN-
pire cannot be torn from the hearts
of the German people as a whole"

Action on the bill, designed and

ACTION on SOLDIER
BONUS IS FORECAST
SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE is
EXPECTED 70 REPORT
FORMALLY ON BILL.
Favorable Recommendation viii Mean
Passing of Buck TO the Entire
Senate, So That Body Can Go
On Record, IL 10 Claimed.

Washington. Republican members
OF the senate finance committee, In
conference Friday, decided TO call the
fun finance committee together Mon
day for the specific purpose Of report
ing fny0rnhly 10 the senate the soldier
cash bonus bin. which passed the
house last session This may mean
the enactment Of the bonus bin before
March 4, but tile probabilities seem 70
be against the passage Of the bill.
Just why the Republicans Of the
committee decided at this late day 70
revive the bonus bill, which has been
slnmbering III the finance committee
since May last, Is not made plain by
any OF them 1t Is known that repre-
sentatlyes OF the American Legion
have been around the capitol urging
action, and have been particularly
persistent In their talks with members
of the committee. The understanding
liz that the committee does not longer
wish to carry responsibility for pre-
venting action on the bonus bin and
/ tiAN MSCluSd W pttSS hitS uueh ~
the entire seatne, so that body can go
| on record.
There may be another angle to this
move, also. Some Of the senator's who
have been most pronounced In their
attacks on the navy and army appro-
priations and have been protesting
against extravaganza are advocates Of
the cash bonus bill, which involves ex.
| pendItures far greater In the aggre'
gate than are contemplated In the
army and navy bills combined. Others
OF the economy senators are known tc
oppose the cash bonus because thes
believe the treasury cannot stand the
strain. The belief Is strong In some
quarters that the finance COMMITTEE,
will report the bill and trust to tht
lung power Of the economists to pre-
vent Its passage.

RESTRICTION BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
DRASTIC MEASURE AGAINST I'M
MIGRATION WILL REDuoE
ALIEN tNFLoWS.
il is Estimated That Partial CLOSING
OF Gates to Foreigners WIN
Limit immigration to $685.
600 During Next Year

washington. IA drastic measure
against immigration during the next
year was adopted on February ~ py
the senate, which by 81 to z passed
the Dillingham; immigration bill after
adding amendments to increase It's re-
strictiye features, The bill, it Is esti-
mated, would limit immigrants during
the next twelve months to slightly
over $4,000.
The bill was adopted as substi-
tute for the Johnson bill, passed Dy
the house. The latter would bar Tor
year all immigrants, except rela-
tiyes of aliens now here. The bills go
to conference for adjustment.
Advocates of the Dillingham; substl-
tute declared that 1t would keep out
more immigrants than the Johnson
measure.
Both bills would go into effect with
in two months, with the Dillingham;
measure reflective for fifteen and the
johnson bill for fourteen months.
1t took the senate less than five
hours to dispose of the immigration
legislation. The two senator's oppos-
ing passage were France, Republican
Maryland, and Reed, Democrat, Mis-.
souri,.
Before passing the substitute, the
senate defeated, 43 to 10, motion to
adopt the Johnson bill.
Forty per cent less immigrants
would be admitted under the Dilling-
ham bill than as reported by the sen.
ate immigration committee. This was
accomplished by reducing the basis OF
immigration from 5 to 3 per cent OF
the number of aliens here according ia
the 1910 census. The amendment was
offered by Senator Harrison, Demo
crat, Mississippi, who led the fight to
make the legislation more drastic.
Under another amendment, wives
and children of aliens who have ap
piled for citizenship would be giver
preference. Another amendmeni
struck out a clause authorizing ad
missions when deemed justifiabie as {
measure of humanity"

Hardlng's cabinet problem developed
another difficulty Thursday, when
Frank o, Lowdep Of Illinois sent word
that he could not permit himself TO be

This decllnatlon left a blank in the

fixed, Although he had indicated be-
fore that he did not desire the appoint
ment, Mn Harding and his advisers
had counted on a change of mind. AS
a result, they must begin sorting over

Mr.. Lowden wired that his personal
affairs made It impossible Tor him to

Thus he removed himself also from
