PARIS March "a plan for the
payment Of tho German war bill by
diversion Of all German coal revenues
into tho allied Golfers and main
| tenance Of international control Of
Upper Silesia for an indefinite period
is being discussed in French onicial
circles.
The French realize that tho German
government is working under great
difficulties in trying to meet the al
lied demands on reparations. How
ever much DR.. Walter Simons. Ger
pay large sums to the allies he would
be powerless to compel those persons
in Germany who possess all the money
| to place it at the disposal Of the gov
ernment.
If the allies were to control all of
Germany's coal supply 1t would at
last be possible to bring pressure to
bear on the great industrial profiteers
In Germany.
Plan No Coal Shortage.
The allies have no intention. under
the plan being considered, of keeping
German industries short Of coal. On
the contrary, they are interested to
see that German industry thrives. pro-
vided, of course. that a satisfactory
percentage Of profits goes toward
paying the German war bill.
| With the control of all coal in their
hands. the allies would be able to say
to Hugo SHINES and the other indus
trial magnates:
Unless you and your industries are
prepared to help the German govern
ment in it's efforts to pay the repara-
tions bill you will get no coal"

comes to the point of open discussion
between Germany and the allies de-
pends upon many considerations. one
Of the chief Of which is whether
Poland can be brought to accept the
possible proposals opposing the divi-
sion Of Silesia and to regard the prob
lem as one affecting all the allies.
Great Britain Approves
The coal seizure proposal. which is

dividing Silesia. as they have q full
right TO do under the terms of the
plebiscite as set forth in the treaty
of Versailles. Strictly speaking, the
allies have good grounds. on the basis
Of plebiscite results. for giving to
Poland that part Of Upper Silesia
which contains the iron and coal
mines and for alloting to Germany
only valueless strip of territory in
the northwest.
The Germans. who got a majority
in the popular vote, are pleading that
the territory should not be divided.
and it is understood that Great Brit
ain is not anxious to see such an ex-
tremely valuable territory as this,

| without Silesia they cannot hope to
pay the war bill due the allies.

u. S. MAY return
NEARLY ALL LIQUOR
Practically Four-Fifths of
Seized Wet Goods Cannot
Be Held by Government.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Speclai Dspatch 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK. March 26.-Unless a
recent ruling OF the United States
circuit court Of appeals Is reversed
by the United States Supreme Court
prohibition officials will have to re-
store to the former owners millions
OF dollars worth of liquor confiscated
in all parts Of the United States, II
was said by authorities here today.
Some estimates fix the amount to
be returned as high as four-fifths of
the quantity seized by the govern
ment since prohibition went into ef-
feet. 1t Is pointed out that the bulk
of the contraband liquors taken
charge of by revenue agents was
seized in New York city.
The decision of the fourth United
States circuit court of appeals, handed
down on March 10. held that the Vol
stead act nullified and repealed the
old internal revenue statute. under
which much Of the wet goods was
confiscated. Enforcement agents have
been seizing entire stocks from deal
ers and individuals under this revenue
statute whenever violation has been
found. Under the Volstead act only
liquor involved in the actual viola
tion may be seized. it is held.
Assistant United States Attorney
Robert A. Peattie said today he was
inclined to believe that the decision
would hold. 1t is known that he ad-
Niseu fIFneSt Langley, supervisor OF
prohibition enforcement, today to
postpone seizure Of 100000 worth of
liquors already planned until he has
received complete information re-
garding the case from the supervi-
Sor.
1t is believed one of the immediate
effects of the decision will be a great
curtailment in seizures of liquor. which
often run into millions of dollars worth
weekly. for the whole country. 1t is
understood that United States attorneys
are advising more cautious procedure
on the part of revenue agents.
An idea Of the huge quantity of
liquor which may be returned can be
obtained from an unofficial inventory
of the amount of whisky and red
wine in the Knickerbocker warehouse.
This inventory, made today, is Of
liquors seized in Manhattan and the
Bronx only. 1t gives the quantities
as $4,000 cases and 5000 barrels of
whisky and $4,000 barrels of wine
Much miscellaneous liquor. such as
gin. brandy, cognac, champagne and
other wines are stored there, but the
amounts could not be learned.
