AMERICA REJECTS
Indemnity OFFER.
Counter Proposal Is unaccept-
able, Secretary Hughes In
forms Germany. ...
SUGGESTS new TERMS
y. s. Urnes Berlin to Make Further
Proposals Direct to Entente;
Voices Hope for Prompt Sot-
Element Of Question

WaShiuKtOn-The German re1ara-
ton counter proposals are unsccept-
able as a basis for discussion, Secre-
tary Hughes informed DR.. Sinlons. the
German foreign minister, in a note
The Secretary at the same time
urged the German government to make
further proposals directly to the Allied
governments. He also expressed again
the earnest desire of the American
government for prompt settlement of
this vital question"
Text Of Hughes Note.
The text of Secretary Hughes COM
munication, which was dispatched to
Loring Dresel. the American high COM
missioner in Berlin, follows:
1.-The government of the United
States has received the memorandum
left by DR.. Simons with the commits
sioner of the United States under date
Of April "a, relating to reparatiOns. In
reply this government states that it
finds itself unable to reach the con-
clusion that the proposals afford
basis for discussion acceptable to the
Allied governments and that these pro-
pOsals cannot be entertained. This
government, therefore, again express
ing its earnest desire for prompt set
Element of this vital question strongly
urges the German government at once
to make directly to the Allied govern
ments clear, definite and adequate pro-
posals which would in all respects
meet it's just obligation"
The communication was made pub
lie by the Secretary without comment
and officials generally refused to dis
cuss the situation.
y. s. Stands With Allies.
Unofficially the opinion was ex-
pressed that developments at London,
where the Allied supreme council is in
session discussing reparations, would
soon give the explanation of the Amer
lean governments action. Whether
these would, demonstrate that the
stand of the United States for pay
ment by Germany to her full ability
but not to degree to retard unduly
her economic: recuperation, had been
met, was a subject on which no light
was shed. ;, : =.
The American position is under
stood to havesbeen that since Germany
forwarded her counter proposals that
a settlement should be achieved if pos
sible by. discussion and that even In
the face of an Allied advance into Ger
man territory: the United States would
not cease o.work for such a settle
ment. At the same time it was
emphasized that the American govern
ment would stand with the Allies in
proper reparations
