ALLIES CLAIM
INVASION JUST
Reparations Commission Replies
To German Contention Of
Treaty Violation.
By NEWTON c. PARKE,
I.ter~at at1onsI News Service.

PARIS, March 1.-THE Repara-
tions Commission today drafted a
note to Germany declaring that the
Allied military and economic pen
alties were legally justified under the
treaty of Versailles because Ger
many had not paid the amount Of
money pledged under that covenant.
ANSWERS GERMAN CONTENTION.
This allied note was designed os
an answer to the German contention
that the advance of the allied troops
on the Rhine nullined the peace
treaty.
The document was drafted at a
meeting of the reparations commits
sion this morning. 1t pointed out
that Germany had paid less than
one-half of the 10000. 000, 900 gold
marks due from her (under The
terms OF the treaty. by May 1.
The argument of the Germans that
the amount had been fully paid was
rejected.
POINCARE SEES FAILURE.
CDR. Walter Simons, the German
foreign minister, in a speech at Lon
don, offered the allies $4,000 900. 900
gold marks indemnity. He contend
ed that Germany had already paid
20, 900, 900 900 gold marks. leaving
80, 200. 600. 900 gold marks to be paid
in the future)
The present military and economic
penalties imposed by the allies upon
Germany are incapable of giving
France the amount of reparations due
her. according to former President
Poincare in an article printed in tho
press today.
"The total OF the Rhine customs
will not exceed SOC, 100000 gold
marks annually" said NJ. Poincare

BOXING EXHIBITION ATTRACTS
BIG CROWD
Cedar Rapids Gazette)

Manchester, March 5,-Before a
large and enthusiastic crowd, the
boxing show under the auspices OF
the American Legion here Friday night
proved to be big success.
In the main event, George Nell
char, of Cedar Rapids, and Jimmy
Bovaird. of Mason City, fought a
fast ten round battle in which there
was action at all times. Both men
landed frequently with telling pun
ches, but Mslchar won q slight
shade duo to getting home the hard
er punches. The men lost little
time in getting started. As early as
the second round Melichar was
bleeding from the nose. The third
and fourth rounds were filed with
action, with first one and then the
other holding the advantage.
Both men slowed down q little in
the fifth but were mixing 1t furious
ly at the bell. IN the sixth Nell:
char drove a wicked right to Bow
ards jaw and while badly hurt, the
Mason City boy quickly recovered
and ended the frame fighting hard.
The eighth was Bovard's best round,
He landed several hard rights and
lefts to Melichar's head, putting a
bump under his left eye and draw
ing blood from his already sore
nose and mouth. Just before the
bell he drove George to the ropes,
but the latter came off the hemp
fast aud chased his opponent across
the ring landing hard to the body
and head. In the ninth and tenth
rounds Melichar won by a decided
margin. Bovard had tired from the
fast pace and Melichar had little
difficulty in reaching him with both
hands. There was little to choose
between the men at the finish, but
the Cedar Rapids Boxers punches
carried more steam.
In the four round preliminary Pat
Hartman, of Monticello, defeated
Charlie Sampica, of Anamosa. Tho
latter showed himself to be a game
youngster and took mans sized
lacing for the entire battle. 81
This was the first boxing show
ever held here and from the interest
taken and the caliber Of the show,
it is believed. the game has been
placed on sound footing. Every

waiter paused as he came to a door,
and the count repeated the last few
words. Under no circumstances
whatever
"Mais certaincment,, Monsieur le
Comte. L, personally will see
itoit. - '''' '''' - - =
AS he spoke he flung open, the door
and the count entered. 1t cannot be
said that the atmosphere Of the room
was congenial. The three occupants
were regarding one another in hostile
silence, =and as the count entered they,
with one accord, transferred their Sus-
: picious glances to him.
For q moment he stood motlonleSs,
while he looked at each one in turn.
Then he stepped forward.
"Good evening, gentlemen"-he still
spoke in French-'I am 'honored at
your presenc~.' He turned to the
head waiter. 49,: dinner be served in
five minutes exactly"
With q bow the man left the room.
and the door closed.
During that five minutes, gentle
men, propose to introduce myself to
you, and you to one another. The
business Which 7 wish to discuss we
will postpone, with your permission,
till after the coffee, when We shall be
undisturbed."
In silence the three guests waited
until lie unwound the thick white muf-
fer; then, with undisguised curiosity,
they studied their host. In appearance
he was striking. He had short dark
beard, and in profile his face was aqui-
line and stern. The eyes, which had
so impressed the manager, seemed
now to be q cold grey-blue; the thick
brown hair, flecked slightly with grey,
was brushed back from broad fore
head. To even the most superficial OBJ
server the glver Of the feast was q
man Of power; man capable of form.
Ing instant decisions and of carrying
them through.
And If so much was obvious t. the
superficial observer, 1t was more than
obvious to the three men who stood by
the fire watching him. Each one of
them, as he watched the host, realized
that he was In the presence Of great
man. It was enough: great men dc
not send fool invitations to dinner to
men Of international repute. 1t mat
tered not what form his greatness took
there was money in greatness, big
money. And money was their life.
The count advanced first to the Am
erican.
"A1r. Hooking, I believe" ne re-
marked in English, holding out his
! hand. "I am glad you managed tt

GAIL In good time, Mr.. Hooking"
smiled the host. II have hopes that

He turned to the taller of the two
Germans, who without his coat seemed
more like a Goldfish than ever.
"IIerr Steinemann, is it notl" This
time he spoke in German.
