 Decision To Enemy

PARIS. April 27.-(By the Associ- ated Press)-The German counter proposal on separations as transmit ted to President Harding at Wash ington are absolutely unacceptable. and the French ambassador to the United States, M Jusserand, has been notified to this effect.
 The proposals are characterized ty government officials as "a step back ward" and are declared to give no promise of satisfactory settlement
 The general feeling is that ocoupa- ton of the Ruhr region Of Germany is unavoidable. but it is believed in some circles barely possible that in some way the Berlin government may be made to understand through Wash ington the gravity of the situation and the essential fact that no proposal can be considered by the French govern ment unless based on the Paris con ditions.

WASHINGTON. April 27. = By the Associated PressI-The Ameri- can government tonight was without any official information as to the at titude of the allied powers with re- spect to Germany's counter propos. als on reparations Consequently. a reply to the communication received from Berlin yesterday has not been prepared
 The views of the allied govern ments are expected to be transmitted through their ambassadors here. None of the envoys called at the state department, but an Associated Press dispatch from Paris this even ing announced that instructions had gone forward to Ambassador Jusser- and to inform the United States that the German propositions were unac. ceptable to France. It was assumed that M Jusserand would make this known officially to Secretary Hughes tomorrow.
 Dispatches from Brussels indicated that in Belgium the German offer also was regarded as unsatisfactory There was no word as to the views of the other interested powers.
 Administration officers continued the,r policy of silence with regard to the whole separations question. II was understood that an element oi the situation which they have under consideration is an intimation from some allied governments that the mere transmission of the German of fer by the United States would in v.olve the American government 1T some measure of responsibility.
 It is believed that the state depart ment is not ready to accept this view of responsibility on it's part, provid | cd it's efforts are confined to mere transmission of the communicat'o' without endorsement of any kind.

I. c. c. Holds Present Rate Is N Prejudicial;
 Complaints Dropped

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The In- terstate Commerce Commission refus- ed today to order reduction in rail road rates from points or origin east of the Rocky mountains to points in intermountain territory. Complaints of business organizations and others were dismissed, the commission hold ing that existing tariffs, which are on a parity with those to Pacific coast points, were not unduly preju. dicial.
 The compliments had contended for graded reduction based on the rates to the Pacific coast, fixed so steam carriers could compete with water commerce passing through the Panama canal. The case was one of general interest, as any change would affect eastern manufacturers.
 The proposed schedules were op, posed by manufacturers and business organizations of the Pacific coast while numerous eastern shippers and manufacturers intervened to compose a part of the proposed changes which tended to increase rates from the east to the Pacific coast.

 MOON APPEALED
Assistant Attorney General Defends Fingerprlnt
 Evidence Of State

PHOENIX, April 27.-George Hill, assistant attorney general of Arizona, today filed a brief in the state su- preme court defending the finger print evidence offered in the superior court of Cochise county against Charles (Chet) Moon. Moon was con victed of burglary and was sentenced to from five to 15 years in the state penitentiary. He appealed his case to the supreme court.
 Moon was convicted of taking about S2,0O0 from a butcher shop in Bis bee. Much of the evidence consisted of identification of the defendant by means of finger prints on the cash register.
 "The basis of Identification by fin ger print" said Hills brief. lies in the fact scientifically established that no two finger patterns are alike. and , that duplication of 14 points of iden tity would not happen once in some thirty billion comparisons of finger prints Hence. it follows as a math ematical certainty that there was VT practical possibility that the finger print on the cash register was mad by any finger other than the finger ot this defendant; all of which is care fully developed. explained and demon strated in the testimony in this case.

 low Political Choice

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The first nominations of postmasters to be made by President Harding were sent to the senate today, leading to reports that the administrations policy in re- gard to appointment of postmasrers generally probably would be announc- ed soon. The list contained the names of S4, all of whom. according to a statement, had made the highest mark in a competitive civil service examination, except where veterans preference statute operates.
 Congressional leaders said their un- derstanding was that the nominees had not only qualified under the civil service requirements. but were ac ceptable to party leaders in their re spective districts.
 Congressman said the expected def milton of policy probably would be in the form of an order continuing perhaps. with some notifications the civil service requirements nov | existing for postmasters of all class es. and clarifying regulations provid ing for retirement of postal employees
 Tn some quarters it has been sait civil service requirements for appoint ment might be continued with provi sion that selections could be mad, from among the first three or four il the list. so allowing some latitude il making nominations.

BERLIN.

 While the political writers are opti- mistic in their appraisal of the pros pective outcome of the appeal of For eign Minister Simons. to President Harding. the financial writers, look ing further ahead. take an extremely gloomy view of Germany.s ability to carry the self-imposed burden.
