GERMAN REFUSAL TO
PAY IS REPLIED TO
CONTENTS OF NEW NOTE TO Der.
LIN is NOT MADE
PUBLIC.

Paris.-The Reparation Commission
has considered the German statement
regarding the lnon-payment of the l.
0O0,000,G0 gold marks today. the date
fixed by the allies for payment and is
forwarding a communication to the
German government, says an official
announcement. This communication
will be delivered in Berlin at once.e
The action of the allies. provided
satisfaction is not given by the Ger
man government, is expected to be an
extension Of the penalties already ap-
piled, by the occupation Of further ter
ritory east n Ale Rhine or of some
German port. 1t is not thought likely
that the allies will take into considera-
/ ton the German proposals referring
to the estimated value of the payments
/ already made by them.
The incident is regarded here as
not changing the situation between
the Germans and the allies, as viola
tions Of the treaty in other respects
are regarded as justifying the applica-
! tion of all penalties provided for under
/ the treaty. This, however, is the first
specific refusal of the Germans to exc
cute a provision of the treaty within
, the time limit fixed by the treaty.
/ The German note insists that the
10000, 100000 marks which the peace
treaty provided should be handed over
by May has been more than paid.
The note asks that joint commits
sion of experts fix the value of the
German deliveries on reparations ac-
count but it declares that in any
event it would be impossible to pay
/. 10000, 100000 marks by the first of
|, May
: The note concludes as follows:
= IF, after the experts have con.
ferred, it is established that there is
a deficit in the payments by Germany
, she is ready to begin negotiations with
the Reparation Commission regarding
: the floating of loan abroad
The Reparation Commission met tC
{ consider the Germ An reply which was
! transmitted from Berlin recently.
: The Germans failure to pay Is con
: sidered a violation of the treaty Of
e Versailles, which the commission viii
report to the allied governments. The
allies will then determine what meas
ures shall be taken.
r 1t is said that the German expert!
s already have. been heard by the com
S mission, which listened to their argu
). ments before fixing the valuation o
= the German deliverance counted a
il payments against he 20,000.000,00
= marks. The valuation therefore wa
considered final, because the treat
gives the commission sole jurisdic
tion.

YIVIANI Brings NO
SPECIFIC PROPOSAL
FRENCH SPECIAL ENVOY SEEKS
TO LEARN VIEWS OF
AMERICANS.

Washington-TNhile the visit of
and special envoy to the United
States, is announced officially as one
"of courtesy" to President Harding,
DR.. Marcel Knecht, his general secre-
in setting forth the object of his mis-
sion, said Il. Viviani was prepared TO
give a receptive ear to any proposals
by the United States regarding the
peace settlement and the League OF
Nations.
NJ. Viviani will make no overtures
in the direction of American participa-
tioh in European affairs, particularly
as affecting Germany, it was said. He
is expected in the near future.
DR.. Knecht said NJ Viviani's pro-
gram will include not only an eX-
change Of fluctuations with President
Harding, but also the meeting with
members of the cabinet and congress
men. He is acquainted with Secreta-
ries Hughes and Hoover, and on his
| visit to the United States in 1917, as
| head of the French mission, he met
senators and representatives whose ac'
! ouaintance he desires to renew.
DR.. Knecht said that NJ. Viviani will
be accompanied by no experts or ad
| visers. He said that Stephen Lau
zanne. the French journalist, is coming
only as a representative Of lie Matin
of which he is editor.
In diplomatic circles it is believed
that should the former French premier
find the occasion propitious for an In
formal disussion of the attitude OF thf
new administration toward the settle
ment of peace with Germany, ht
would be ready to receive the propos
ais of President Harding for transmits
sion to the French government.
That the problem of America coop
Grating with the allies in Tie peace
settlement will be brought to the fore
front of consideration by the State De
partment upon his arrival, was indicat
ed recently by responsible official o
the department, who said the mission
of the former French premier was aC
cepted as directed toward the further
ance of good relations between tn
two republics.

COLD WAVE CAUSES
ENORMOUS DAMAGE
FREEZING WEATHER RUINS
FRUIT AND HURTS THE
FIELD CROPS.
OKLAHOMA LOSES MILLIONS
Texas Escapes Serious loss-Sleet
and Hail Is Reported-Strawberry
and Other Berry Crops Believed
Not Affected.

Kansas City.-,Based upon reports
from many districts of Missouri. Kan
sas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas,
officials of farm and Horticultural as
sociations here said that enormous
damage had been caused by freezing
temperatures which recently prevailed
over the Southwest
Little hope for early fruit crops In
Missouri and Kansas was indicated,
although it was said that the later
crops probably have not suffered ma
teTially.
The sudden cold snap was preceded
by warm weather in most localities,
and officials said in many places fruit
trees were in bloom. Grain crops were
said to have been well advanced and
in some sections ojinting had taken
place. Fields which had not been
pastured were damaged.
Oklahomas state Board of Agricul-
| ture estimated that the loss OF early
| fruit in that state would approximate
| $11. .250,0 an dsaid that IS per cent
of the crop was ruined by the recent
| freezing temperatures.
Springfield reported a sheet of snow
1 and ice covering southern Missouri.
| All early varieties of apples, peaches,
plums, pears and cherries were in full
bloom, and the loss undoubtedly will
be large Another freeze was predict
ed for that section. Strawberry and
other berry crops are not believed 10
have suffered.
Wichita, Kan, and the Arkansas
valley found its fields of early grains
frozen down. Wheat which had not
been pastured was damaged particu
larly, while oats, which had beer
planted early on account of the oper
season, suffered a greater freeze. AL
falfa fields were ell discolored, and NJ
fruit is expected this year in that sec
tion except in a few protected or
chards.
The peach and apricot crop at Ar
kansas City, Kan, and vicinity is ;
total loss, reports said, and a complete
survey of the damage will not be made
until after the thaw.
Reports emanating from the Texa
plains country report peaches ant
apricots a total loss and grave fea
for the alfalfa crop also was exprt sseC
Wheat is not believed to have bee
damaged, and cherry, plum and appl
