late Proper Proposals to Allies.

Washington, April 23.-In its APP
peal to President Harding, made pub
Tic here, Germany asked that the Uni
ted States set the amount Of repara-
tons Germany should be required to
pay.
In its reply, also made public, the
United States said it could not agree

German government would submit it's
proposal the United States would con-
slider bringing it to the attention of
the allied governments, ain a manner
acceptable to them, in order that the
negotiations may be speedily re-
sumed."
The following is the text of the
German memorandum delivered to the
American commissioner at Berlin for
transmission to the State department /:
an the name Of the German govern
ment and the German people, the un-
dersigned, Notwithstanding the still
existing technical state of war, re-
specially petition the President Of the
United States of America to mediate
the reparatons question and to fix the
sum to be paid by Germany to the
allied powers and to eagerly urge him
to ecure the consent Of the allied
powers to such mediation. They
solemnly declare that the German peo-
PIE are ready and willing to agree
without qualification or reservation. to
pay to the allied powers as reparatiOn
such sums as the President after eX-
animation and investigation may find
just and right. They formally pledge
themselves to fulfill in letter and
spirit all the provisions of any award
that may be made by him
with abiding faith in the right
eousness of this request and with I'M
deniable sincerity of purpose the Ger
man people through their constituted

President of the United States with
the confident hope that it be granted
to the end that a final award may be

justice to meet the heartfelt wishes of
all civilized nations, and to avoid the
Unreasonable consequences Of immi-
nent cOercive measures and to pro-
mote the peace of the world"
President Harding replied as follows !:
"This government could not agree
to mediate the question Of Preparations
with a view to acting as umpire in
its settlement. Impressed, however,
with the seriousness of the issues in
volved as they affect the whole world,
the government Of the United States
feels itself to be deeply concerned
with the question of obtaining an early
and just solution. This government
Strongly desires that there should be
an immediate resumption of negotia-
tons, and reterates its earnest hope
that the German government will
promptly formulate such proposals as
would present proper basis for dis
CussiOn. Should the German govern
ment take this course this govern
ment will consider bringing the mat
ter to the attention of the allied gov
ernments in a manner acceptable to
them, in order that negotiations may
be speedily resumed"

TROOPS To GUARD
MAIL At CHICAGO
Hays and Garlic Agree on Try
out of the Plan.
DETERMINED TO END THEFTS
Armed Soldiers to Guard All Federal
Buildings There in an Effort to
Halt HoIdups-Loot Runs
Into Millions.

Chicago, Aprn 20, - Regular army
troops are to guard all government
property in Chicago until such time
as the daring and successful opera
tions of the city's criminals are
checked by the local authorities.
This was the reply Of the govern
ment to the half dozen big mail rob
berries recently, which have cost it in
the neighborhood of 100000.
Notice of the unprecedented move
was received by Postmaster William
b. Garlic in the form of a letter from
the postmaster general. The letter
stated that regular troops were being
assigned Immediately to guard the
federal building, the Federal Reserve
bank, postal substatiOnS ana all other
government property where money or
articles of value are handled,
Quick Action on Request.
This move on the part Of the gov
eminent was made on recommendation
Of Postmaster Garlic a week ago in
a letter to the postmaster general. The
letter received almost instant atten-
ton, and in the reply which the post
master received he is authorized to
take immediate action.
81 am particularly interested in your
suggestion of guarding the mails by
use of federal troops in the larger
cities Of the country" the reply read,
"and wish you to try it out as soon
as possible in your district, as soon
as you have worked out Il plan. Let
me know when you have completed
preparations and troops will be as
signed to be placed under your direc-
ton"
Mr., Garlic already has sent forward
recommendation that troops be as
signed here Immediately.
Mr. Garlic said that, according in
information gathered by postofice in
spectors, the many recent mail rob
berieS throughout the country have
been the work Of organized gangs who
have worked together. The headquar-
ters Of these gangs, federal authori-
ties believe, has been Chicago and for
that reason Chicago was chosen as
the city where the new plan Of using
federal troops will be tried. Later it
is planned to use the same methods in
New York, Philadelphia, indianapolis
ana other large cities where large
amounts of money are sent and re-
Ceiyed through the mails.
