German, Delegates Deny
Pomer to Vary Proposal
France You'd Get Nothing by
Further InUasi0n and 1t
You'd Be Costly. Their Plea

LONDON, March (By The Associ-
ated Press s).-"We have no power to
vary our proposals, but if the other
side makes suggestions concerning them
we can communicate with Berlin, which
will make possible a discussion" said
Herr Schroeder, secretary of the Ger
man Finance Department, speaking for
the German delegation tonight.
'If the conference is broken up be-
cause our offer does not satisfy the
Allies it cannot be helped" he con-
tinued. "We shall have to go back to
the treaty and wait for the Allies to
submit reparation figures as provided
for in the treaty
ther invade our country, she would get
nothing and would be put to consider
able expense"
In the opinion of Herr Schroeder the
Allies apparently misunderstood the
German offer. 1t was presented in Ger
man, and the delegates could not di-
~est it so quickly, he sail. The Allies
apparently forgot all about what they
had already received from Germany
in kind. including estates in Poland
and Schleswig, which the Poles and
Danes could not pay for. This was a
matter for negotiations.
"I see no other way to solve the
problem; we cannot make a higher Of
fer" Herr Schroeder concluded. "W .th-
out Upper Silesia Germany could not
nay the bill"

The United States is not going to
have war with Japan.
That statement was made last night
by Representative julius Kahn, Of Cali
fornia. in his address at the dinner at
the Hotel Astor in honor of United
States Senator George E. Chamber
lain, Of Oregon. Mr. Kahn spoke on
the Japanese question and the military
situat on in this country. The various
speakers denounced the pro- German
mass meeting at Madison Square Garden
Monday night.
"In California" said Mr. Kahn, "tho
people are not afraid Of war with
Japan. We are not going to have any
war with that country but it is neces-
sary for us to be patient and forbear-
ing. Japan must also show patience
and forbearance. Differences must be
settled III a Straightforward, states
manlike way"

PARIS, March 1.-Everything is in
readiness along that part of the Rhine
held by the French for jump forward
ct few hours notice should the occa-
sion arise, The Associated Press was
Informed in official circles this evening.
Plans have been going on for some
days in anticipation of any action which
might make a forward movement neces-
sary and, in the words OF high official
of the War Office, Marshal Foch has
but to say the word"
The German counter proposals ere
ated nothing short Of amazement in
French official and diplomatic circles
as well as among the members Of Par
Lament. Advance information regard
ing the propositions to be submitted by
DR.. Simons, the German Foreign Min
lister, as received in Paris, was to the
effect that the proposals were more rea-
sonahle and might form the basis of
discussion. The consensus of opinion
this t.enlng, however, was that no dis
cussion was possible.
French officials, however, cannot hide
the feeling of satisfaction that the Ger
man attitude should show that the
French viewpoint had been correct
from the first, that Germany was un-
willing to face the responsibilities and
also prove to Great Britain and the
rest of the Allied and neutral world
that Germany will understand nothing
but the application of force and that
it is useless to deal with Germany in
q spirit of justice and fairness
Popular Sentiment Militant
Popular feeling is greatly aroused
and the opinion everywhere is
expressed that France has waited long
enough and that the movement of
troops into the interior of Germany
would meet with smaller opposition
from the opponents of the government
now than at any other time, owing to
the fact that the government has the
Communist situation well in hand, the
leaders either having been sent to jail
or slenced.
A Deputy who voted against Premier
BRAND on the Paris conference de-
csion informed the correspondent that
should M. BRAND return to Paris to-
morrow and ask the Chamber to ratfy
the penalties decided upon he would
receive a vote of more than 500, only
the Socialists and Communists voting
against him.

here feel that it will have the moral
support of all the Allied countries. as
well as the United States.
In the absence Of Premier BRAND
and War Minister Barthou it was not
expected that an order to go forward
would come before tomorrow night at
the earliest, as it is presumed the
Germans will be given a final oppor-
tunity to recede from the position
taken to-day. If a marching order
comes tomorrow night the troops
would be ready to go forward Thurs
day morning at daybreak.

cFsion of protracted discussion Of

main undecided and will fall to the
Harding Administration for settlement
The Cabinet session did not conclude
before $3.50 o'clock, and it was not un-
til O'Clock that the Cabinet members
had completed taking their cave of Mr..

expressions of appreciation made bv
his subordinates.
The Cabinet officers have arranged to

tration as their farewell gift to him.
In turn the President to-day took oc-
casion to affix his autograph to copies

Colby Makes Speech
At the conclusion Of the Cabinet
business Secretary Of State Colby, in a
ief speech on behalf of his col
leagues, addressed the President,
thanking him for the opportunity he
had given them to serve under his
leadership. Mr.. Colby expressed the
hope that Mr.. Wileon would speedily
regain his full strength and health in
private life, remarking that he felt
sure that with the removal of the cares
and burdens of the Presidential office

Or. Simons appended to this summary
OF Nermany's offer, of which detailed
analyses were given the Allied Premiers,
the stipulation that the Berlin govern
ment would attempt to carry out this
program only on two conditions. These
were: First, that the plebiscite in
Upper Silesia should result favorably
TO Germany, and second, that German
commerce would be freed from exist
ing impediments such as tariff wallis
and trade regulations.
Premier Lloyd George had sat rest
isssiy through all the reading of the
German Fo;eign Minister'S statement.
The moment it was over Lloyd George
jumped to his feet and, turning abrupt
~ on the Berlin delegates. he declared
he could no longer conceal his disap-
poantment over the offer the Germans
had brought. He assailcd DR.. Simons
and his colleagues for their complete
failure to comprehend the actualities
IN the situation or the position of Ger
many as vanquished foe. 0 her
members of the Allied group nodded
their heads in agreement.
Lloyd George Immediately adjourned
the sitting, asserting that nothing more
could be done. He added that it was
CcSASSS 1VI SilS fAllleS TO examine tuS
detailed statements OF the German offer
because it was wholly inadequate any
way. The British Premier instructed
the Allied economic and military ex-
perts to have their plans reaoy for i'm
mediate presentation if called upon to-
morrow morning.
German Delegates Depressed
The Germans left the conference ex-
ceedingly depressed. DR.. Simons even
appeared i'll. At the hotel where the
berlin delegates are quartered one of
them told the Tribune correspondent
tonight that Germany might submi
other proposals, if the Allies invited
them. but added that if the Supreme
Council tomorrow continued to hold
the same opinion as Lilo George did
to-day, the Germans would return to
Berlin within two days. There, he
SAID they would await the next move
of the Allies
The German proposals came to Lloyd
George as distinct shock, for ne had
felt confident that the Berlin govern
ment would come ready to make a Sc
rious offer that could be considered
The British Premier had expressed the
belief freely to Rriand and his other
colleagues that Dr. Simons would bring
reasonable suggestion.
AS Lloyd George and BRAND left the
council chamber at Lancaster House
the British Premier turned smilingly

Denies Superiority to Britain
Denying that the American Navy
would be 81 per cent greater than that
OF Great Britain, he said:
"On the contrary, it will be so per
cent less than England's navy.

cruisers to Americas three, and thir-
teen battle-cruisers to Americas six
Altogether, Japan would have twenty
four battleships Of "frst magnitude

were complete.
Senator Poindexter said he did not

Defending the increase in personnel

this was much below the present
authorized strength of $4,000. He
pointed out that the committee had
commended liberal appropriations for

M IL A N, March 1.--Fresh revolu-
tionary outbreaks growing out of
clashes between Communist and Fas-
cisti, or Extreme Nationalists, have
spread terror over a wide area in
Italy. Florence, Bari, Trieste, San
Marco, Cerignola and other cities have
been scenes of terrific violence in
which many persons have been killed
Twelve persons are known to have been
killed in battles in Florence, eleven at
Cerignola, one in Trieste and undeter-
mined numbers in other places.
Hundreds of persons have been
wounded in the promiscuous use of
hand grenades, firearms and knives. In
Florence ee-cornered fight among
caribinieri, Fascist and Reds brought
heavy casualties to the troops.
General strikes have been in effect
in practically all the scenes of disturb
ances. The situation in the provinces
IS considered grave.
Fierce Battle at Cerignola
One Of the tiercest battles was fought
in Cerignola, where the Communists
seized the town hall and converted it
INTO a fortress The Mayor and Town
Councillors, all of them Communists,
had stocked the hall with bombs, rifles,
revolvers and ammunition. When siege
was laid to their fortress they en-
sconced themselves in windows and
balconies, firing promiscuously into the
crowd of Lascisti below The royal
guards and caraDlnieri, summoned to
check the disturbances, threatened to
lombard the town hall unless the Reds
capitulated, which they then did. al
though only because their supply of
ammunition had become exhausted. The
Mayor and all the councillors were
put in jail.
In Trieste the Communists fred on

one and wounding several. The Nation
