BERLIN PRESS
RESENTS PLEA
Angry at Government for Trying
to Put Destiny of Europe"
in Harding's Hands.
BY FRANK e. MASON.
-TktesKatISpaI News service.

BERLIN. April 22.-Germany is
awaiting with bated breath Presi-
dent Harding's reply to her appeal
for mediation in the reparations
controversy.
(NOTE: President Harding's an
swer, rejecting the German request
to fix a reparations total. but ex-
pressing his willingness to forward
a new German offer to the Allies,
had not reached Berlin when Mr..
Mason's dispatch was sent.)
APPEAL MADE PUBLIC.
The appeal. which was signed by
Foreign Minister DR.. Walter Simons
and Chancellor. Fehrenbach. was made
public by the government this morn
ing.
Meanwhile, IL Is learned that the
German cabinet has decided to send
note of "far-reaching Importance
to France in which Germany will ac-
cept any proposals whatever for Ger
man participation in the reconstruc-
tion of the devastated regions OF
northern France.
The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung,
semi official organ, while voicing APP
proval of the German note to Presi-
dent Harding, warned its readers to-
day not to place too many hopes in its
possible results, because, the paper
says. France will obstruct any media
tory attempts by the United States
The Lokal Anzeiger expresses the
view that Germany should not have
sent such a note unless she was first
certain that it would have the de-
sired result"
Not only the destiny OF Germany,
but all Europe. is thus laid in the
hands of President Harding" says
the Boersen-Courier.

AMERICA MAY
SIT AT PARLEY
Paris Takes Note to Mean U. S.
Will Take Hand in Fur
ther Negotiations.
BY NEWTON c. PARKR.

PARIS, April 22.-The Foreign
Office let it be known this afternoon
that the French government is
pleased with President Harding's
reply to Germany's mediation ap-
peal, though it was added that
France had hoped for a categorical
refusal. instead of a qualified re-
lection which invites a new German
offer and leaves the door open to
American mediation.
SEE U. 8. AT NEXT FARLEY.
Official France interprets NJ.
Harding's answer to Berlin as mea n
ing that Germany must resume neg D
siations directly with the allies. Il
is presumed that in the event Of fur
ther negotiations between the ailie-
and Germa ~. the United States viii
be represented. which is strongly de-
sired by French official circles.
The German note was generally re-
garded as a last attempt by Berlin 10
"stall' and delay the negotiations,
thus averting Frances coercive meas
ures planned for May 1.
France. however, according to all
indications. is absolutely determin ID
to put those measures into action.
Premier BRAND will submit them TO
morrow at the conference with Lloyd
George at Hythe.
OCCUPATION PLANS ANNOUNCED.
The International News Service IS
able to give the following details OF
the military and economic plans,
which await only the British pre-
mier's approval:
They include the occupation OF ar
area north of Dusseldorf (big indus
trial city on the Rhine) and along
the left bank Of the river Lippe. II
is still undecided whether the town
of Hamm is to be occupied.
Turning at an angle at Hamm, the
line of prospective occupation runs
back to the Rhine, passing through
Unna and following the left bank OF
the river DWupper. 1t includes thc
important town of Elberfeld. center
Of the German textile industries.
FAvORs RAIL STATION CONTROL
Occupation of the important rail.
way stations of Dorston, Lunen
Unna, and Hagen is provided for in
Marshal Foch's scheme.
AS for the economic plans. II has
been decided to levy a tax of only
ten gold marks tnormally s2.50D or
each ton of coal, for it is feared
by the economic experts that a more
severe tax would cause the German
engineers and technicians to quiz
work, in which case the French
would be able to supply engineers
for only one-tenth of the 1853 mines
in the district to be occupied.

 The story is a laughable mixture of jealous wives and husbands, and is said to set rapid pace. Nr Wash burn has the role of Jack lTem pie, ihtensely{ devoted' to Clara. his wife, who in turn is excessively jeal ous of him. At a department store Jack encounters a coy young miss who proceeds to "vamp" him in the most approved style. In the end they are locked on the roof garden of the store for the night. and Jack is obliged to invent an ailing friend John Brown, in neighboring town in order to explain his absence to his wife. Then he induces his pal Frank Fuller, to assume the orole ol Brown. When Mrs. Fuller, Brown and the "vamp" all get busy, at onct and invade the Temple home, there is riotous excitement until matters are finally explained.
