LYMPNE PARLEYs TODAY.
Lloyd George and BRAND to Open
Conference.
By the Associated Press.


LYMPNE, England. April 23.-Ex-
changes which have been going on
for some weeks between the British
and French foreign offices relative to
what can and ought to be done TO
collect reparations from Germany will
be continued here late today by Prime
Minister Lloyd George and Premier
BRAND. The two statesmen will meet
at the villa of Sir Philip Sassoon,
where they have held conferences in
the past.
The French plan is. broadly. a prof.
ect for administration and taxing for
the benefit of the allies and Ruhr coal
basin and some parts of the West
phalian industrial district of Ger
many.
Mr. Lloyd George arrived at Sir
Philips villa. Belcaire. last night, and
advices from Paris today stated that
NJ. BRAND, accompanied by Philippe
]. l.. Berthelot. general secretary of
the French foreign Office. had left at
$40 o'clock this morning for Eng
land.
In Agreement on Plan.
The two premiers were understood
today to be in agreement as to the
general plan to be followed. but it
was said they wished to have a COM
plete mutual understanding of what
was to be done early in May. if in
the interval the German government
does not submit acceptable proposals.
A fresh German proposal is expected
to be submitted to the allies immedi-
ately but even its serious discussion
would seem to be conditioned upon
satisfactory guarantees of execution.
Guarantees of material sort would
not have been expected at the time
of the London conference. early in
March, but the situation is regarded
by the French government as having
been greatly changed in Germany.
Military Not to Take Part.
Field Marshal Wilson and Marshal
Foch, heads. respectively, of the
British and French armies. will not
take part in the conversations be-
tween the two premiers. This is be-
cause the military measures decided
upon may be solved easier than any
other questions involved The French
military position is clearly defined.
but that government earnestly de-
sires the nominal participation of
Great Britain and Belgium.
1t was stormy day that broke
over Lympne this morning and was
not exactly the kind the people Of
the village of Lympne would have well
coined upon which to greet their
distinguished guests. The weather
was most unspringlike. with a high

CITY LEAGUE AGAIN PLAYS
SCORE A TIE THIS TIME

The city baseball league, to create
more interest in the games, ruled
that all those on the county league
should have no place on the city
league teams. This action makes
all three teams on an even basis, and
makes the city league strictly anna
teur, which was the idea of the city
league in the beginning.
Without warning on Tuesday eve
ming, the courthouse assisted by the
east side played a twilight game with
the west side, resulting in a tie, just
as darkness made playing impossible.
Very few fans saw the game as it
was not advertised and was played
on the spur of the moment
Fred Thomas starred for the court
house team and l.. Ruben for the
west side. Floyd Pond for the west
side showed ability as a catcher, and
Hayward o. Bair, playing with the
courthouse team, gave evidence of
pitchers ability, which he should
have developed in his youth.
