GERMANY.
WILL PAY BILL
British Statesmen Confident In
demnity Terms viii Be Full
filled Without Revolt.
BY EARLE &. REEVES,
Interna tionaI News Service.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-British officials
have no fears that the allied in
demnity decision will lead to a reyo-
luton In Germany, despite the pessi-
mistic forecasts OF German political
leaders.
No TRIAL PROBABLE.
Even should German unrest he
fomented to a dangerous degree, and
the monarchists and former sd-
herents of the ex-kaiser attempt TO
take advantage OF II, the allies will
not seek to reopen the question OF
bringing William to trial before an
International tribunal.
This Information was secured by
the international News Service today
from an official source-Evan Davies,
parliamentary secretary to Premier
Lloyd George.
British officials do not fear a Ger
man revolution as a result OF the size
of indemnity the Allies decided to
impose upon Germany" declared the
official. The German delegates are
coming to the London conference on
March l with full powers and we
have every reason to believe that
everything will be settled in a salts
factory manner"
MONARCHIsT COUP FEARED.
Belief has been held in some quar-
ters that II an outbreak should take
place in Germany the monarchists
might attempt to persuade the ex-
kaiser to return to Germany. Upon
this point the British official said:
Under no circumstances will the
Allies seek to reopen the Kaiser
trial. question. Such thing has
never occurred to the officials con-
csrned with this phase of the situa-
ton. We are perfectly satisfied to
let things rest as they are. The
Kaiser trial issue is dead and never
will be revived"
The foregoing was the first official
declaration that the Allies had de-
cided to abandon the question Of
bringing members of the Hohenzol-
lern family to trial for 'war crimes"
