DRAMATIC EFFORT
MADE BY GERMANY
FAILS TO ENTICE
THE UNITED STATES

London, April 22.-Dramatc efforts
on the part of Germany 10 induce the
United States TO arbitrate the repara-
tions question between Berlin and the
entente governments and the refusal
of the Washington governmet to Sill
in judgment on the merits of the veX-
ing problem have lent new interest to
the conference at Lympne on Sunday
between Premier BRAND Of France and
Prime Minister Lloyd George of Great
Britain.
The expressed desire Of the United
States that there be "an immediate re-.
sumption Of negotiations. has brought
into the situation a new element, and
it has been popularly supposed the two
premiers would merely consider plans
for further occupation of German ter
ritory and not renewal Of exchanges
between London and Paris and Berlin.
The new factors entering into the
situation make it probable that Mr..
Lloyd George and NJ. BRAND will find
themselves called upon to make some
sort of answer to the implication in
the United States to Berlin, that further
negotiations should be commenced.
It is known that military authorities
OF France have perfected all plans for
the occupation of cities and towns in
the industrially important Ruh- district
Of Germany and have formulated eco
nomic penalties that will be put into
operation when occupation Of these
places has been completed.
Germany at the same time, she ap-
pe0led to Washington, sent commu-
nication to the allies rejecting the de
mand that the gold holdings of the
Roichsbank in Berlin be deposited be.

the German shipping delegation has

OF the amount Of shipping turned over
to the allies under the Versailles treaty.
The Germans originally asserted that
100000 tons OF shipping. valued at
1000 600. 600 gold marks had been turn.

tontc that an alternative valuation on
lower basis will bc submitted soon.
