FOR NEW NOTE
Lloyd George Suggests Send
ing Ultimatum Before
Occupation.

LONDON, April 3O.-At a conference OK
the British and French premiers, a few
hours before the opening of the su-
preme council meeting today. Premier
Lloyd George suggested that an ulti-
matum be sent to Germany, giving her
one week to make new indemnity propo
sails before the allies move troops into
the Ruhr district, it was learned this
afternoon.
The conference was held at Lloyd
Georges official residence at 10 Down
ing street
Premier BRAND %as accompanied by
NJ Berthelet, representing the French
foreign office.
Although there is absolute unity and
accord among the allies, French influence
is expected to dominate the meeting of
the supreme council.
The first session of the council was
scheduled to open at + o'clock, but 1t
was believed the aT-tmportant subject of
indemnity would not be taken up until
Sunday.
As the allied representatives assembled
no further word has come from Berlin
that Germany was amplifying her indem
nifty offer, but reports persisted that Dr.
Walter Won Simons, the German foreign
minister. probably would send a note to
Great Britain.
The United States will not participate
actively in the supreme council meeting.
but Washington will follow closely the
developments.

Mr.. Dreshman's audience was COM

Here's Candidates List;
Make Your OuUn Choice

The Indiana Daily Times believes that
it is little short Of criminal for any
newspaper to attempt, only few hours
before the opening Of the polls to in
fuence the electorate either for or
against any candidate by the publication
of statements concerning that candidate
which cannot be investigated for truth
in the limited time left in the COM
paign and for the refutation of which no
opportunity is given the candidate.
For that reason this newspaper will
not attempt to set forth. any biography,
political or otherwise, Of the various
candidates
Ample opportunity has been afforded
the voters of Indianapolis to know the
qualifications of the candidates and this
newspaper is OF the opinion that the
voters do know them. To ask or expect
them to alter their opinions on the basis
Of statements so promulgated that the
candidates must accept them without op-
pOrtunity for refutation is not in keeping
with the American ideas of square deal
and Is characteristic only of a publica-
tion that seeks to dominate by means
either fair or foul.
The candidates for whom the public
will vote Tuesday and the offices to
which they aspire are:
