ALLIES WILL
MEET Def
On Germany's Refusal to
Pay Part of Reparations
Due March %
AGREEMENT
HAS BEEN VIOLATED
Germany Insists That the
Amount Has Been Over
paid Already

Paris, March % (By the Associated
Press Germany in her reply to-day
to the recent ultimatum of the allied
reparatiens commission refuses to pay
one billion marks of gold due on this
date and disputes the commissions fig
ures, showing balance of II billion
marks due.
1t is maintained in the note that
the 20 billion marks which the peace
treaty provided should be handed over
by May has been more than paid.
The note asks that a joint commits
sion of experts fix the value Of the
German deliveries on reparation ac-
count, but it declares that in any event
it will be impossible for Germany to
pay II billion marks by the first Of
May.
The note concludes as follows:
IF, after the experts have conferred,
it is established that there is a deficit
in the payments by Germany, she is
ready to begin negotiations with the
reparations commission regarding the
floating Of loan abroad
The reparations commission met to-
day to consider the German reply,
which was transmitted from Berlin last
night.
The Germans failure TO pay il
deemed violation Of the treaty of
Versailles, which the commission will
report to the allied governments. The
allies will then determine what meas
ures shall be taken.
1t Is commented here that the Ger
man experts already have been heard
by the commission which listened to
their arguments before fixing the vslu
alton of the German deliveries credited
as payments against the 20,0O0,0O0,0o0
marks This valuation therefore was
considered final, since the treaty gives
the committee sole jurisdiction in the
matter.
The German reply does not answer
directly the commissions demand for a
first payment OF one billion marks to-
day. This point, however is covered
on the face Of things by Gcrmanys' con
tention of overpayment OF the entire
amount due by May H.
The note contains nothing. neverthe
less, to show that il would be impos
sible for Germany to pay this one bill
lion marks, which the reparations com
mission knows that Germany has avail
able in gold, as well a. in foreign secur
titles il is stated

New York Banker, James
A. Stillman, Makes
Formal Charge
IN PRELIMINARIE
FOR DIVORCE SUIT
Denies Parentage of Child
Millions Of Dollars
Involved

White Plains, n. ", March IA
definite charge that Mrs. Anna Z. Still

ident of the National City bank Oh
New York, was the mother of child
by an Indian guide was made In SUI
preme court here to-day by counsel Tor
Mr.. Stillman during preliminary argu-
ments in the divorce suit the bank
president has brought
Addressing Justice Morschauser, who
presided at the hearing on alimony and
counsel fees, Delaney Nicoll, chief
council for Mr.. Stillman, said:
Evidence already before you shows
that Mrs Stillman took as her lover an
Indian guide by whom she had an in
fant son, whom Mr.. Stillman must eli
ther acknowledge as member of his
family or repudiate as illegitimate.
This criminal intimacy began in
1916 and continued through 1919. Mr.,
Stillman feels it his duty TO his ia
ther's memory, TO his family and to
his children to press this matter to a
conclusion.
Had it been possible to do this 9TH
erwise than in ceurt proceedings we
would have done it. But there was no
other way than to make the mother
and child co.defendants in r. suit"
Mr. Nicull said he could not under
stand the feelings Of father whose
wife yielded to the embraces of an In
dian guide but that he could under
stand why he would hesitate to take
court action under such circumstances.
The hearing lasted only about half
an hour Justice Morsehauser reserved
decision on motions for alimony OF
$4,000 a month and counsel fees OF
S25 600 for Mrs. Stillman.
When court opened to-day, so many
spectators crowded into the room that
deputy sherifIs had TO be stationed at
the doors to prevent entrance of any
more. Not only were all the seats
filed but many persons stood on the
window sills and reporters overlooking
the jury box had to sit on the floor.
Justice Morschauser called several
minor cases but requested that they be
deferred Then he turned 70 attorneys

his lawyers TO have been S538.a00 in
1920 Counsel for the defendant had
claimed il amounted to $500, 1000 or ST..

In lieu of the cancellation. of
the usual parade of military or
ganizations from all parts of the
nation, this throws the Cadet

TO the White House at about $50
a. m. The cadets will form In

the north side of Pennsylvania

Desmond smiled.
STANLEY has a typically Ameri-
can sense of humor."
Are you trying to insult us?"
asked Nancy petulantly. II fail to
see anything humorous about him.
How Connie has stood him all these
years / can't imagine. II Gerry were

She broke OF quickly. with an ap-
prehensive glance at him.,
You were fond of your husband,
weren't you, Mrs. Burrard?" asked
Desmond gravely.
"Oh, yes" replied Nancy graveIy.

You think you could love again?'
Nancy flushed before the import
OF his question
IF you mean: Is my heart buried
with Gerry: certainly not"
This was truthful at all events,
she thought
Desmond looked absurdly happy,
but before he could speak. Nancy
demanded:
Tell me about last night. How
did you and Edith get along after
the doctor and l considerably left
you alone?"
Not very well. I'm afraid" he
replied with a shake OF his head.
Mrs. Langwell talked 20 me for a
while about her husbands great
success. Then she drifted Off into a
sort of silence which / could not
break, and / fell to thinking about
you"
Nancy laughed, but her brows
furrowed.
Her plan was moving too slowly
for her liking. Moreover, Stanley's
presence bid fair to bring every
thing to a standstill.
What a situation it was. she
thought.
There was Edith yearning after
the doctor who chased each senti-
mental will o. the wisp. including

JUDGE!
BY RUDoLRH PERKINS.

Ed explained that heA was too
drunk to know what he was doing,
but when the court fined him $50
he was perfectly sober and knew
all about that.
COURT Is LIGHT ON
THIS JOBLEss MAN.
Just imagine yourself with a wife
and six children and no job and
no money. Probably the very
thought of 1t is enough to drive
you to the nearest near-beer
saloon. =
That is what happened to Stan
ley Crosby, a steel mill laborer.
He halls from Pittsburgh, where he
had been holding down two jobs
to make ends meet.
When the mill shut down he came
to Washington and looked around
for job. He. did not find any
work. but did find some hard cider.
Policeman Conklin picked him up
on Ninth street northwest.
The mans record showed that he
had been sober for three years.
which was very good wher> all
things are considered.
Judge Hardison did not want to
send him to jail and make things
worse for his family.
SO. on his promise TO never touch
hard cider again, he was placed on
probation.

A KICK IN DRY
CONVERSATION.

Mr.. Kramer, commander -in-chief
Of the forces allied against John
Barleycorn, is probably aware that
he has a number of warriors fight
ing for him who are not on his pay
roll.
One of these is Vernon Covington
who makes religion and prohibition
the sole topic of any and all con-
versation, according to Thomas
Leftwich. Ns..-.
Thomas ought to know, because
he hit Vernon an awful one and
Jared that gentlmen almost into
a hospital. 1t was this way.
Vernon called on Thomas sister.
The subject of the talk turned to
booze. flames of Hades and other
pleasant and unpleasant things con-
nected with both subjects.
Tired OF listening to what he
| termed dry rot" Thomas ordered
Vernon out of the house. The apostle
Of a bone-dry world refused to move
and Thomas hoisted him to the
sidewalk.
The prohibitionist tried to show
that Thomas had imbibed some OF
the evil stuff before attacking him,
but 1t could not be proved.
The court let the prisoner SO on

Before going to work that last
time. Ed picked himself in some
kind of stun that Policeman Buck
ley said smelled like peach brandy.
IL it hadn't been near the fish wharf
he might have known definitely
what the liquor was.
Anyhow, Ed was very surly to
his prospective customers, and the
policeman noticed it from afar and
came up to investigate.
Buckley tried to explain to Ed
that he was acting foolish and had
better stop 1t, but the man was no

NEW YORK. Mar. 2. - Twenty
thousand women in New York live
under the constant eagle-eyed es-
pionage of private detectives. SO a
man wise in the knowledge Of high
life undercurrents told me. He de-
clared that the majority of.the pri-
vate agencies are supported by the
vagaries Of marital intrigue.
The affairs usually begin with
mild Pekoe drinking firtations and
swirl on and on to scandalous di-
vorce suits. impoverished sons of
blue e-blooded families are known to
be employed as divorce trailers. and
are thus able to enter private func-
tions that would be denied the ordi-
nary operative.
An amusing story Is told of an
elderly retired business man who
met an elegantly-ermined creature
at charity bazaar. He fell in love.
and a hasty marriage followed. In
a few months he saw that a young
caller at his house was particularly
welcome with his bride. Several
times he returned home unexpected
ly to find them drinking tea to-
gether.
He bowed to the inevitable and
permitted them to drain loves chal-
ice together. AS ne expected, the
wife soon tired of her new toy and
renewed her interest in him. Then,
one night. stung by his indifference.
she sobbed out the story of her in
trigue. He patted her shoulder
kindly. and went to a desk from
which he took many pages of paper.
1t proved to be a report Of the
detectives who had been following
her, and her every move carefully
noth. Never mind" he said. Eve
will destroy this and forget it," and
he placed the pages on the burning
logs of a great open fire in their
drawing room. The next day he
eloped to Europe with a young man.
