Special Y. D. Guards Now
Protect Cash in Mails
Crime Wave Cause, 1t Is Said
at Conference of Hays
and Postmastcrs

WASHINGTON, April 4. - Special
safeguards around the shipment of
currency, worked out during the
"crime wave" now are in effect, it was
announced to-day at conference here
between Postmaster General Hays and
postmasters from eleven of the larger
cities of the East Inspectors working
directly under the Postotlice Depart
ment, and in addition to the force
regularly assigned to such duty, arc
charged with the safety OF all cash
shipments, it was said, and generally
the plan has proved q success.
The object of the conference to-day
men Of the House and Senate Post
office committees was to bring about
more efficient postal service
Postmaster Thomas G. Patten, Of
New York City. took a prominent part
in the meeting
At the adjournment of the session
Mr. Hays declared he believes the
gathering of the chiefs Of the branches
suffering most from congestion had
done much to bring out the greatest
Ills of the service. Chief among these
are lack of modern facilities for ham
ding mail, general inef1iciency grow
''i6 Wv w AiSoouiJ Ccpdl tIISut super
vision of postoftice buildings and the
need for greater cooperation from the
public.
The Postmaster General was greatly
impressed by the statements of the
postmasters, some of whom declared
that the health of their employees is
being endangered by the dark and
poorly ventilated quarters in which
they are forced to work. Most of the
buildings are out of repair and the
workrooms in most cases need coats of
light paint. 1t is impossible, under
Treasury control, to get these things,
the postmasters told Mr.. Hays.
The Postmaster General intimated
that as result of the complaints he
will seek the aid of the Administration
in putting through the next Congress
Legislation providing remedies for the
troubles of his department.

German Plea to america
Made Public by Hughes
Berlin Assures u. S. 1t Is Sin
cere in Efforts to Reach
On Agreement With Allies

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The State
Department to-day made public the
following abstract of the German COM
munication regarding reparations,
which was transmitted through Loring
Dresel, American Commissioner in
Berlin:
at is the earnest desire of the gov
ernment of Germany to reach an &C
cord with the governments of the AL
lied and associated powers, and it is
sincere in its purpose to meet their
requirements as far as possible. That
an agreement was not reached at the
conference of London on the question
of reparations is q matter of extreme
regret to the government of Germany.
In their efforts to reach an agreement
the delegates from Germany went far
beyond the limit cons dered possible
for Germany in the Judgment of an
overwhelming majority of her economic
experts.
at has been asserted that Germany
is reluctant to recognize her obliga-
ton to make reparations. This is not
correct.
at is entirely clear not only to the
government of Germany, but to the
HciHldit PtOIIc oiSO, lH6L germany
must make reparations to the limit of
her ability to pay. This realization on
the part of Germany will not be altered
IN any way by any changes which may
take place in the internal politics of
the country. Every responsible group,
particularly the workmen, of Germany
are imbued with the determination TO
do all that lies in their power to help
in reconstructing the regions which
have been devastated. Fundamental to
this determination is the sober convic-
ton on the part of responsible circles
in Germany that an early removal of
all traces of the devastation caused in
France is to the best interest of Ger
many. 1t is the consensus Of opinion
also that the proposals made by Ger
many in regard to reparation must con-
slider fully the financial necessities of
The Allied and associated governments,
and particularly OF France.
Two Considerations
In view of the foregoing. two con-
siderations in regard to reparations
present themselves both of which are
Of Importance. These considerations
ire. first, the matter of the rehablita-
ion of the devastated regions, and,
econd, the immediate establishment by
Germany of an actual sum of cash
money, in foreign exchange, of impor-
tant proportions.

Berlin Regards Reply
OF Hughes as Friendly

BERLIN, April (By The Associated
Press). ).-The reply of the American
Secretary of State, Charles f. Hughes,
to the statement by DR.. Walter Simons.
Foreign Minister, regarding Germany's
obligations. is interpreted by German
offcia S as friendly in spirit. The mere
fact that the United States answered
at all is looked upon as a hopeful sign
that the American government may
exert its good Offices in solving the
reparations problem
DR.. Slmons is still in Switzerland on
vacation, nsequently a further COM
munication to the United States is not
expected Immediately. There is much
speculation as to how the German pub
lie will react upon reading DR.. Simons's
reparations statement.
The Interpretation by the French
press of the German communication
and Secretary Hughes's reply was the
cause of the German government giving
out the full texts of the notes.

Time Limit Extended

BUDAPEST April BY The Asso-
ciated Press The time limit on the
utimatum from Czecho-Slovakia de-
manding the removal of former En-
peror Charles from Hungary, which
had been set as Sunday night, has been
extended to noon Wednesday, it was
announced to-day. The extension was
on account of the announcement from
Steinamanger that the ex-ruler was ILL.,.
Budapest physicians say the former
king is suffering from mild bronchi-
tis, as we'll as being fatigued, and that
he is not in a condition to make long
journey. They add. however, that it is
not necessary for him to remain in bed.
Charles has paid visit to Prince
Batthyany at Kormend, fifteen miles
south of Steinamanger.
Minister of Agriculture Szabo de-
clared to the correspondents: "Chares
gave his word of honor to Regent
Horthy that he was leaving the coun-
try and now is looking for a pretext
to stay. But we have guarantees that
he will be removed, even against his
will"
There is much speculation as to how
the former Emperor can be forced to
depart, because it is said no Magyar
will touch him. His forced removal
by foreigners, it is believed, would
be likely to provoke deep Indignation
and offend the national pride.

Charles is being treated with the
proper respect at Steinamanger. His
guard has been gradually ransformed
into court. He is granting audiences
and has a staff of court officials
Charles told the members Of his
suite at Steinamanger yesterday that

The government is charged with be-
ing irresolute in the punishment OF
persons of pro-Charles tendencies.
Bishops, politicians and officers who
were arrested have been released from,
prison. Some Of the law experts de-
clare that they could not be punished
under the criminal code because
Charles really holds the title of king
in Hungary. In fact they say, any one
interfering with the Kings preroga
tives might be held guilty of treason.
Two airplanes appeared over the sub
urbs Of Budapest to-day, dropping por-
traits of the former Emperor and pro
Charles handblls.

TERRIBLE SNOW STORM
Ragged Over Wisconsin and Lower
Michigan Last Saturday Night

Think OF the upper peninsula enjoy
ing clear skies while lower Wisconsin
and the lower peninsula OF Michigan
was covered with snow TO depth
varying from one 10 three feet, That
was the condition that reigned last
Saturday and II is the second time
this month that such condition has
reigned.
Snow commenced falling last Fri
day night in lower Michigan and
Wisconsin. All Saturday IL fell and.
driven by hurricane gale, Il piled
up in railroad cuts to the depth OF
eight or ten feet stalling trains that
attempted to go through.
Snow plows were hurriedly brought
out and set at work so that by early
Sunday morning most OF the stalled
trains had been released. The North
Western seems TO have suffered most
from the storm. It's Sunday train
didn't get to Crystal Falls until about
four o'clock in the afternoon. The
ST. Paul was not hit 50 hard but its
trains were about three hours late.
The storm is said TO have been
similar TO that OF 1881 when traffic
was interrupted for a week on all
Wisconsin roads. This is the sec
ond storm that has ragged south OF us
and which we escaped altogether.
The southern limit OF the snow belt
was about at Kenosha. Wisconsin.

line was at Oshkosh, Wis, and Bay
