GERMAN PROPOSALS
WILL BE REPEATED
Allies Certain To Reject Them for
Second Time-Berlin Delega-
tion Plans Arguments

tion Plans Arguments
London, March 6.-Unless new
instructions are received from Ber-
lin, DR.. Simons, the German foreign
secretary and head of the German
delegation on reparations, will on
Monday read a long statement de-
signed to refute the argument made
by Premier Lloyd George before the
conference on Thursday. This state
ment will probably be followed by
counter proposals which even the
most optimistic Of the German dele
cation do not believe the allies will
accept.
In such event the reparations con-
ference will break up, the German
delegation will return home and the
penalties outlined by Mr.. Lloyd
George enforced.
DIR. Simons and his colleagues, in
collaboration with the Berlin cab
met with. which the foreign minis
ter is in constant touch by wireless
have spent the greater part of the
time since the delivery Of the ulti-
.rnatum in drawing up reply there
to. The foreign minister. will present
figures in an endeavor to prove that
Mr. Lloyd Georges statement re-
specting German taxation was mac
curate, and will ask the allies to sug-
gest a means whereby Germany can
meet their economic demands. He
will point out that while the German
income tax is small, German in
comes are proportionately small ow-
ing to impoverishment due to the
war.
The amount, the Germans assert,
has already been paid on account of
reparations will be restated and DR..
Simons hopes that he will be allowed
to repeat his argument made at the
opening of the conference that large
sums are due to Germany on ac-
count of state property seized in
German colonies and other terri
tories Of which she has been de-
prived and which have not been
taken into account by the allies.
1t is question, however, whether
the conference will listen to such
Arguments as these. The French pre-
mier, M. BRAND is credited with the
assertion that all the Germans have
been summoned for on Monday is
to accept or reject the terms of the
allies as laid down at Paris with the
notifications mentioned in Mr..
Lloyd Georges speech.
The Germans through DR.. Strauer
the German ambassador at London,
and Lord D'Abernon, British ambas-
sador to Germany, have made efforts
to get in touch with the allies for
private conversation with some
measure of success. There was a
conference this morning between
Premiers Lloyd George and BRAND
and DR.. Simons at the the residence
of Earl Curzon but nothing is forth
coming as to what was actually &C.
compished.
Mr.. Lloyd George has gone to
Chequers Court, his summer home.
M. BRAND and his colleagues will
spend the weekend at Lympne,
while Count Sforza and M. Jasper
will be entertained privately in
town.

conduct of the defendant to justify
an explanation on his part" said
Judge Lazarus in announcing his de-
cision "In order to warrant a MUIR
der charge it would be necessary for
me to believe the defendant had forced
an attack on Miss Rappe. l feel no
attack was proven, that no attempted
attack had been proven. The dis

peal under the new utilities act came

toll rate if the court upholds the

it, A conference of the chancery
