Reparations Com mis- sion
Sends Imperative Note Re-
quiring Deposit of Sum
in Bank of France
Reichsbank Issue Cited
Germans Criticized for Re.
fusal to Transfer Fund
as Directed by Allies

PARIS, April % (By The Associated
Press).-The Allied Reparations Com
mission to-day sent note to the Ger
man War Burdens Commission de-
manding that 1,ooo,ooO,ooo gold marks
be deposited in the Bank Of France on
or before April 80.
The commissions note, after recit-
ing the results of the previous demand
and Germany's failure to transfer the
Reichsbank gold reserve to the Rhine
land, concludes:
"In view Of the attitude the Ger
man government has seen fit to adopt
in the matter, and in view Of it's fail
ure to fulfill the obligations arising
from Article 235, the Reparations Com
mission is obliged to exercise the
powers conferred upon it by the treaty
and to demand that 1000, 100000 marks
in gold be placed at the disposal of
the Reparations Commission in the
vaults of the Bank of France on or
before April 80.
"The Preparations Commission does
not consider it necessary to discuss
at this juncture the relations of the
commonwealth government with the
Reichsbank, since it is assured that
the commonwealth government has in
any case, the means of complying with
the demands of the Reparations Com
mission, if it wishes to employ them
Under the Treaty Of Versailles Ger
many was obligated to pay the Allies
100000 gold marks before May l.
In March the Reparations Commission
notified the German government it
must pay 1,Ooo,ooo,o0O gold marks on
this account before March %, to be de-
posted in the Bank of France, Bank of
England or a Federal Reserve bank in
the United States. The Germans were
given until May i to pay the balance,
computed at 20,0O0,000, 900 marks after
deducting the value of goods already
handed over to the Allies.
The Germans in note Of March
% refused to pay the 1,000,0o0,0o
marks demanded and disputed the
figures of the commission as to the
balance due May l.

Girl, 16, Dies in Plunge
From Window of School
Asks Friend to Open Easement,
Then Climbs Sill and Drops;
Suicide. Saws PRINCIPAL

Virginia Sisson, sixteen years old,
asked one Of the other girls in her
class room on the second floor of the
high school in Oceanside, L. l., to help
her open window yesterday, soon
after work started VIRGINIA remained
by the open easement Will, her friend
resumed her seat.
Turning to see why Virginia had not
done likewise, the other girl was un-
able at first to discover her. When
she did she screamed. Only Virginia. s
head was visible. She was hanging
over the sidewalk, holding to the sill
only with her finger tips.
AS her friend screamed Virginia's 8
fingers slipped and she vanished. The
janitor heard her strike the sidewalk
and did what he could for her injuries
while awaiting an ambulance from
Rockville Center Sanatorium. She
died there from a fracture of the skull
fifteen minutes after her admission.
F. Taylor Johnson. principal Of the
school, said that he thought the girl
must have intended to kill herself, as
the window sill is shoulder high and
an accidental fall from it almost i'm
possible. She was one Of nine daugh-
ters of Mr.. and Mrs. William L. Sis
son, Of Oceanside. Her father, an
engineer. is in Sc tth America.

Berlin Ordered Relieve Huohes
10 Pay Billion Holds Up Offer
Marks Apr. 80 To Sound Allies
Desire of Harding Not to
Embarrass Associates Is
Given as Explanation of
Delay in Announcement
Aim to Avoid Controversy
Officials Reported as Con-
cerned Over Situation:
Hoover Called to Confer

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, April 25-Despite
denials at the State Department that
the latest German reparations pro-
posals, cabled from Berlin Sunday, had
been received, belief here is strong that
the delay is occasioned by the desire Of
the Administration to obtain the views
Of the Allies on the questions before
making the German memorandum pub.
lie.
A dispatch from Berlin to The
Tribune to the effect that the German
Foreign Office had been requested by
Secretary Hughes to withhold publica-
tion temporarily could not be con-
firmed here, but it is accepted as the
logical explanation of what has hap
pened
The Administration has made very
plain, as told in previous dispatches,
that it wishes to take no step in this
question of bringing the Allies and
Germany together on the question of
reparations that will offend or embar-
rass the Allies. 1t is known that the
very prompt publication Of the first
German request that President Har-
ding act as umpire for the reparations
dispute was occasioned by the infor-
nation from Berlin that the Foreign
Office there was giving the press the
text of the German appeal. That was
the explanation of the extraordinary
promptness in getting out the Ameri-
can answer and giving it to the press.
Seek to Avoid Controversy
The desire for speed in effecting
some arrangement in advance of the
movement of French troops further
into Germany, as scheduled for May /,
is strong, but the Administration does
not believe that any time would be
saved in the six days remaining by
permitting publication of proposal
from the Germans which might raise
controversy in this country as we'll as
abroad until it has been learned
whether the Allies are willing to con-
sider this proposal, and, therefore un-
til the American reply to the German
proposal can be framed.
Another suggestion here to-day was
that Secretary Hughes had addressed
scme inquiries to the German Foreign
Office-in the same unofficial man
ner as the mem oranda themselves are
being transmitted through the Ameri-
can high commissioner as to lust
what is meant by certain passages of
the memorandum.
From various sources there are
hints that the Administration is much
perturbed over the whole situation.
Secretary Hughes sent hurriedly late
this afternoon for Herbert Hoover, his
principal hacker inside the Admins
tration ranks on the foreign policy
which has been adopted, and the two
had long conference.
Bitter -Enders Irritated

irreconcilable element is champing at

tain. to railroad artillery and embody
many of the principles of our own rail-
road artillery, and in view of the cir
cumstances / feel constrained to bring
the matter to your attention for such
action as you shall deem advisable in
the interests of the United States.
Corrective legislation seems neces-
sary, but no draft is inclosed, for the
reason that the principle involved,
while of vital Importance to the War
Department, is also important to other
departments of the government and in
wolves the policy Of the; government
granting patents to nationals Of coun-
tries with which the United States is
at war
Furthermore, the question arises
whether re should not require that all
foreign patents be put in operation
within the period of. say. two or three
years, so as to forestall a condition
arising similar to that relating to the
dye industry at the beginning of the
late war, wherein the Germans through
their patent activities in this country
had practically eliminated American
manufacture Of dyestuffs because OF
the protection received by their patents
which were not licensed or otherwise
put into operation in the United
