The fact that the American decision

American decision being considered here
as a direct reply to the statement py Dr'

Comment by the Gaulois is significant
OF public opinion here, when it says that

Naturally comment like this Is based
on the supposition that the United States
approves the Paris reparatlons figures
of 226. 900. .0o0.0 900 marks gold, which the
Germans declare are absurd when Ger

France see disposition on the part OF

Nothing could have been more oppor-
tune or more calculated to impress the
French mind with the success OF the
mission OF Rene viviani, Frances En-
voy Extraordinary to the United States.
than the declaration by the State De-
partment in Washington that Germany
must acknowledge her responsibility for
the war and pay reparations within her
ability. The Washington statement was
widely published throughout the French
press to-day 1t has caused q profound
impression in France. comparable in
many ways to that experienced on the
day America placed herself beside France
in the war.
The declaration that the United States
IS morally behind the French effort to
obtain reparations FOR the damage done
by Germany was the principal object OF
the Niviani mission. the success OF which
Is now acclaimed by all French news
papers.
In the Washington statement is seen
an evidence that the mission headed by
M. Viviani has accomplished more than

pectations, and through this accomplish

complished by special mission of this
