MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, April 81
Refusal of an American girl on board
the Shipping Board steamer Aeolus,
operated by the Munson Line, to aban-
don her dog to the unfriendly hands OF
the Uruguayan health officials pre-
vented the liner tying up at its wharf
on it's arrival here yesterday and led
to the prospect of the steamer being
forced to discharge its cargo in the
outer harbor.
When the sanitary officials boarded
the Aeolus and discovered the dog
they ordered the animal killed, in ac-
cordance with the quarantine regula-
tions now in force, due to the presence
Of the rinderpest in Brazil. 1t was
held that the dog must be considered
to have been in Brazil when the Aeolus
stopped at Rio Janeiro on her trip
down from New York, and therefore
must be sacrificed.
The, officers, however, reckoned with
out the girl. She refused to allow her
pet to be consigned to. death, choosing
to remain on board w vessel and re-

the dog belonged to their brother, wh@
was killed in France during. the
war. Comrades found the dog guard
ing his masters dead body, and one Of
them brought the animal back to New
York and delivered it to her.
II would rather you would kill me
than kill that dog" said Miss Corneille
to the inspectors.
The Munson Lines agents were told
by the authorities that if the dog was
not killed the vessel would have to
leave port within twenty-four hours,
but finally they agreed that the vessel
could remain the usual time on condi-
tion that the animal was confined, to a
room and kept under sanitary guard.

Allies Fix German Damages

PARIS, April 27.-The Reparations
Commission has fixed 100000 900
gold marks as the total damages for
which reparation is due by Germany
under Article 233, second paragraph.
and Annex /. Part 8, of the Treaty Of
Versailles.
The commissions decision was on
cially communicated to DR.. Won Oert-
zen, of the German War Burdens Com
mission, tonight.
In fixing the total. the Reparations
Commission made necessary deductions
from the amount Of the damages in
order to allow for restitutions effected
or to be effected in the execution of
Article 238, and consequently no credit
will be allowed Germany with respect
to such restitutions. The commission
did not include in the above amount
the further obligations incumbent upon
Germany by virtue Of Article 232, ITO

There is strong probability
that General H. H. Bandholtz,
former head of the constabulary
in the Philippines, and briga-
dier general in the World War,
will become prominently identi-
fed with the Transit Commission.
1t is understood that General
Bandholtz has the matter under
consideration, and that If his re-
lease from the army can be
brought about without detriment
to the service he will become a
resident of New York and be as
sociated with General John F.
Organ in the commission.
: When one Of the commissioners
was asked about the appointment
of General Bandholtz last night,
he said that the subject had not
reached stage where he was

BERLIN, April 27-The admission
made in the Reichstsg by DIR. Walter
Simons, German Foreign Minister, that
he had conferred with spokesman for
American business men close to Sec
retary of State Hughes regarding a
solution of the reparat:ons question, is
considered by some in official diplo-
matte, press and business circles here
as confirmation of the theory that
there is actually an understanding be-
tween Germany and the United States
regarding an ultimate agreement of
the Allies.
Tie fact that the German offer is
considered favorably in some Entente
circles in Berlin is taken as an indi-
cation that the international situation
is entering a new and most important
phase which may lead to the adjust
ment of the worlds industrial and
financial equilibrium. The very fact
that Germany undertook to reach a
settlement by way of Washington, in
spite Of the shortness of the time be-
fore May 1, is believed to be Indicative
of some understanding between Wash
ington and Berlin. Moreover, relations
between Germany and France are re-
garded as virtually such as to exclude
the possibility of agreement there
without the powerful aid of the United
States.
Hope Centers Upon America
The lack of defniteness of the Yer
sailles Treaty regarding the payments
due from Germany, and the wide differ
ences of opinion as to Germany's abil-
ity to pay, coupled with the hopeless
ness Of Paris and Berlin reaching an
agreement, lead Germany's tinanciers--
among them, it is believed, Hugo
Stinnes-to hope for a solution only
through action on the part of America
as direct participator, and not as a
mere medium of correspondence. Lead
ers in financial circles in Berlin de-
clare that while America does not de-
sire to hurt France in any way she
must take her financial and economic
interests into consideration to bring
about q settlement if she is ever to
obtain her own money loaned to the AL
lies.
An important fact pointed out by
financiers is that the recent fall of the
mark is due to aggravation over the
reparations problem. accompanied by q
similar fall in pounds and francs.
Financiers believe America can no long
er remain a passive observer Of this
continuing deterioration Of the worlds
economics.

Kaiser Wrote That Wilson
Should Be Kicked OUT
Comment ON u. S. Note RepIv.
ing to Pope in 1917 Re-
ycaIed in Berlin

BERLIN, April 27.-"Wilson should
be kicked out" was the former German
Emperor's comment on the note of the
then American Secretary of State,
Robert Lansing, in reply to Pope Benc-
diets attempted peace mediation in the
summer of 1917.
This revelation is contained in a
brochure issued by Philip scheide-
mann, former Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, in which the Socialist leader
reviews the efforts of the Vatican to
halt the war. The former Emperor's
marginal comment on Mr.. Lansing's
communication was:
"Wilson must give up the notion
that he can make of the German people
what he wants to make it. He must
take it as it is. Neither the nation,
the army nor the Kaiser will accept
the Wilson peace of understanding.
Wilson should be kicked out"
Scheidemann accuses the old Admins
tration of dilatory treatment of the
Pope's note and with ambiguity and
equivocation in the conduct of the ne
gotiations on that occasion.

LONDON, April 27.-Great Britain
has communicated with the German
government asking more detailed ex-
planation OF Germany's new repara-
night. This action was taken notwith-
standing the fact that France has sum-
marily rejected the German proposal
and is preparing to move her troops
further into the Ruhr district May i.
The comments of both officials and
the press, while the government awaits
Berlin's reply, are reserved, but there
is feeling in some quarters that the
almost Numerically opposite reactions
of London and Paris to the Berlin COM
munication may presage a split be-
tween the two principal Allies.
The only summary of the terms Lon
don has received so far has come from
Berlin, and there is considerable doubt
as to the Interpretation of the clause
in which, as published here, Germany
agrees to recognize a total obligation
of 5O,0O0,O0O,OOO gold marks, but is
ready to pay the value of this sum in
aIUulLIeS dudptcu tO neT dDlllty 20
produce, up to 0,O00,00OOo0.
At Variance With French View
In spite of the fact that France re-
CARDS the offer as quite unacceptable,
The Evening Standard-a conservative
and pro-government journal-says:
"It is possible to indicate that the
new German proposals will by no means
be regarded in derisory manner, what
ever their Interpretation. Everything
now depends on the nature of the Ger
man explanation, now awaited. There
is ground for saying that this may be
of such nature as to be regarded in
official circles as distinct advance over
Germany's previous offer"
The Northcliffe press summarily re-
jects the offer as unworthy Of con-
sideration and merely a German at
tempt to gain time The Westminster
Gazette, Liberal, thinks further nego-
tiations should be taken up along The
lines suggested by Berlin.
The British Cabinet this morning
considered the text of the German offer
as sent from Berlin, but give no ind-
cation Of its attitude.

The Alabama was selected for the VIC
