CABINET MEETS
TO DISCUSS CASE

"Clear, Definite and Ad-

Berlin, May tBy the Associated
Press The German cabinet met TO-

held yesterday, but no action was tax
en- relative to the reparstions prob

Just how long the Fehrenbach eabl-
net will continue in Office is believed
to depend upon the nature OF the ulti-
matum being sent to Berlin by the al

the Reichstag.

not unprepared for the refusal 10

Hughes answer would be trliie more

depreciation of clear, definite and ade'
quate proposals"
To this extent the American answer
left the cabinet in a confused state OF
mind, it was stated.
II was also explained that the note
failed to show the amplitication OF the
German offer, for which it was assert
