the treaty of Versailles nor the carry
ing out of the allied penalties could

History only can fix the respons-
ibility for the war" said the German

tended, was too recent an occurance

Firm and Positive Reply.

Of Mr. Lloyd George would be very
firm and positive in tone.
The allies are perfectly agreed as
to what should be said" he added
NJ. BRAND and Mr. Lloyd George
took luncheon together during the re-
cess.
In presenting his proposals at the
conferences first session, the German
foreign minister although declining to
discuss the question of responsibility
for the war, which he said only his
tory could decide, expressed agree
ment with Mr.. Lloyd George that the
l'arty which had been condemned by
the peace treaty must pay.

tated area of France, but these had
been received with doubt
DR. Simmons deplored the allied dis
position to ignore the payments al
ready made by the Germans, which
they contend should be applied to the
reparations account and the allied
persistence in the view that Germany
was acting in bad faith.
German Taxation Discussed
DR.. Simons said taxes should be cal
culated on a per capita basis, taking
into account the income per capita.
He quoted statistics to prove that on
the basis of such calculations the Ger
mans were more heavily taxed than
the English. He said that even the
allies had admitted that further direct
taxation in Germany was impossible.
After asking DR.. Simons number
of questions, Mr.. Lloyd George re-
piled: Il am afraid l must tell DR.
Simons that there is no doubt as to
the answer which the allies must be
forced to give. think it desirable, in
view of the great gravity of the de-
cision, that we should give a reason
ed reply to his carefully prepared and
clear statement. The interval will
also enable US to read full report of

U. s. NOTE CAUSES
UNPLEASANT FEELING
SAYS PANAMA Chief
(By Associated Press)

PANAMA, March 7.-Receipt Of the
identic note sent to Costa Rica and
Panama by Charles E. Hughes, Amer
ican secretary of state, asking that
hostilities between the two countries
cease, produced "a painful impress
sion," said President Porraz of the re-
public of Panama this evening. This
impression was caused continued the
president, because he advises us to
withdraw from Coto which we have
recovered from the Costa Ricans."
Repeats Former Statement.
The president reiterated his recent
statement that the arbitration award
handed down in 1914 by Chief Justice
White was "completely unacceptable"
to Panama, adding, "There is no rea
son for compelling Panama to accept
it, but we will be pleased to secure
another opportunity to discuss our
rights"
1t is understood the United States
cruiser Sacramento, with an eagle boat
has arrived al Bocan del Toro, but
this cannot be confirmed, since the
Balboa headquarters of the fifteenth
naval district issued statement say
ing that Admiral Bryan was receiving
orders which could not be given out
at Balboa. Dispatches declaring that
Panama has requested Intervention by
the league Of nations have not been
confirmed here, because the Panama
government has been keeping secret
its peace moves because of their pos
sible effect upon the people Of this
country.

Best Place in Which

Richmond is good place
in which to live because of the
people in it," said a resident of
several years standing, Monday.
After all you can do nothing
without people of the right sort,
and you can do everything
where they do live. Probably
Richmond's excellence is due to
the early settlers of this region,
the Friends and the Pennsyl-
vania Dutch who were the first
comers and stamped their char
acters, and even their customs,
on the community and on the
later immigrants. These early
ideals are reflected in the insti-
tutions and atmosphere of the
city of today, which are always
the subject of comment by Wis
itorS."
