months in foreign exchange or for
eign securities.
Eight-In the event the United States
and tho allies so desire, Germany Is
wiling, according to the extent of her
ability and capacity to assume the
allied obligations, to the United States
Nine-Germany proposes to negoti-
ate with the assistance of experts as
to tho way in which German deliv-
cries for reparations will be reckoned
as against the total of Germany's debt,
particularly respecting tho way in
which the price value VIII be liked.
Ten-As security for the credits ac-
corded her, Germany is willing to
pledge public revenues, and properties
in a manner to be determined between
tho contracting parties.
Eleven--With the acceptance of these
proposals, Germany's other reparations
and obligations will be annulled and
all German private property in foreign
countries will be released.
Twelve-Germany declares the pre-
sent proposals only capable OF being
carried out if the system Of penalties
is discontinued forthwith and she is
freed from all unproductive outlays
, now imposed on her and that she be
given freedom of trade.
In the event of differences of opin-
ion arising from an examination of the
proposals, the German government
recommends that they be submitted for
examination to a commission of rec
ognized experts acceptable to all the
Interested governments. She declares
herself ready in advance to accept as
binding any decision reached by this
commission.
Should any other form of proposals
| in the view of the American govern
| ment facilitate further negotiation OF
| the question. the German government
would ask to have its attention drawn
to any points in which alteration is in
the opinion of the American govern
| ment desirable. The German govern
ment would also welcome other pro-
posaIs from the American government
Finally the note says: THE German
government is too deeply convinced OF
| the fact that tho peace and welfare OF
the world are dependent upon speedy,
just and fair solution of the repara-
tions question not to do everything
| within its power in order to enable the
| American government to direct the at
tention of the allied governments to the
| matter,

concerning execution of the treaty of
Versailles relative to bringing Will

the Senate owing to the illness of
Leon Bourgeois, the Senate's president,
ruled that a date for the Interpolation
could not be decided until Premier
BRAND, who did not attend the ses-

The upper chamber was in such an
uproar as has never been seen in it
since the Caillaux trial, many sena-

opposing it on the ground that more
serious business was on hand.
NJ. Duplantier expressed surprise
that Premier BRAND was absent say

sire to interpellate on Sunday last,
when he heard about the scandalous
judgments being rendered by the
Leipsic court" trying war criminals.
Many senators seconded NJ. Duplan-
tier and asked that the date for the
Interpolation be set for Friday, June
II. NJ. Berard, however, was obdurate
He finally managed to make himself
heard in the din and postponed the
date of discussion of the subject in

Newton, N. j., June 14-One man
was killed and two others kept
bound to a tree for several hours in
the mountains in a daring hold up
today by six masked men, who got

up occurred seven miles from here.
The man shot and killed was
Charles Kosta, aged 35 years, an en-
gineer of Andovcr.
He was passing the scene Of the
hold up on his motorcycle The
highwaymen, not wanting him to
spread tho alarm, ordered him to
stop. Instead he put on speed and
tried to pass them. The bandits
opened fire. Two bullets pierced
Kosta's chest and another struck
him in thes boulder. He fell from the
motorcycle dead.
The motor truck, manned by
Claude Resi-. driver, and Charles
Mann, his helper, was on it's way
from the Sussex Print works here to
New York. Resh was rounding
bad curve in the road when six men
all armed and wearing ha-dkerchiefs
over their faces, jumped out from the
roadside.
Get off that truck and be quick
about it both of YOU" the bandit
leader called to them.
They did so promptly Four Of
the bandits then started to lead them
to some bushes just off the road It
was then that Kosto, on his way to
work, came along on his motorcycle
and met his death when he refused to
stop at the command Of the highway
men, His body was thrown down
the side of the cmbankment and into
a small brook, where it was found
late this afternoon.
