Berlin, April 25.-(By the Associat.
ed Press)-The payment by Germany
of two hundred billion gold marks
for reparations is virtually the pro-
posal submitted by Germany for trans
mission to the allies, according to
sources close to the government.
The offer, it is indicated, inclines
more toward the terms formulated by
the allies at the Paris conference last
winter than to the offer made by Ger
many at the London conference which
the allies summarily rejected. The
payments would be spread over a per-
iod of 80 to AZ years, or less, accord
ing to Germany's economic recovery.
Economic pledges in goods and par
ticipation in German industries are
offered as guarantees, it is stated.
The Reichstag will not be given the
text Of the communication until Tues
day.
Delay in Transmission

lnent before them early today but when
they reached their offices it had not
reached the department.
Call It Compromise
London, April 25.--The German note
on reparations, which has not yet been
received here officially, proposes "a
liberal compromise between the al
lied reparations demands as formulat-
ed at Paris last January and the Ger
man counter-proposals laid before the
entente leaders in this city early in
March.
The German government was to sub
nit the text of its note.

European situation" the newspaper
continued. I'VE should be foolish to
expect any help from him but we may

tralfy."

She really meant for him to stay.
Then, IL appears, she became
angry at him because he packed

the hand.
Judge Mcmahon did not want to

he wanted to discourage this cut

the court suspended a thirty-day
