Paris, April 17.-Cognizance is taken by the Temps in its leading editorial to- day of reports that new reparation of fer by Germany is being transmitted to the United States through the vatican, move which 1t characterizes as an at tempted diversion by Germany to escape payment to the extent of her liabilities.
