CAN'T MEET TERMS
DECLARES GERMANY.
UTMOST SUM NATION CAN PAY
is 100000 900, 900 MARKS, THE
MINISTRY HAS DECIDED.
Germans May Suggest That United
States Be Called In as An Arbi-
traitor for Purpose of Pre-
venting Extreme Measures.

Berlin.-The ministry of finance has
reached the conclusion that the ut
most sum Germany can pay In repara-
tons is $780, 00.000,000 marks, this in
Guiding all she has SO far paid In cash
and goods, according to information
which the Deutsche Zeitung says it
has received from a special source.
This 15O,000,000, 900 marks would be
paid off in thirty years under the plan
outlined by the newspapers informant,
who also is quoted as declaring that
the proposal to pay 1t would be sub
mitted to the authorities at Paris for
the purpose of learning whether the
coming London conference on repara-
tions will permit of its consideration
: along with the allied proposals adopt
ed at the recent Paris conference.
Refusal to allow consideration of the
German counter-proposal would result
in Germany ~absenting herself from the
ondon conference, set for March 1,
the newspaper declares Ii has learned.
1t adds that Germany would then sug-
gest that the United States be called
In as an arbitrator for the purpose of
preventing the entente from adopting
measures such as an invasion of the
Ruhr district, which, it declares, would
be looked upon by Germany as an act
of war which would positively destroy
the treaty of Versailles.
In the Deutsche Zeltung's article the
suggestion was made that, while the
entente was extremely DESTROYS of
bringing about the London conference,
it was not unlikely that the delibera-
tons would be postponed to a date
the middle of March, in order
to give the new Washington govern
ment an opportunity to participate In
them.
The suggestion that the United
States be invited to mediate fails to
arouse enthusiasm In the conservative
ndustrialist organ, Die Post, which
expresses fear that the American YER J

PREDICTS WAR WITH JAPAN
6orah Says Break viii Come az Re-
suit of Competitive Navy Building.


Washington.-War between tht
United States and either Japan oil
Great Britain within the next few
years If competitive navy building
continues was predicted by Senator
Borah of Idaho during a heated de-
bate on the disarmament question in
the senate on Friday.
The debate followed hard upon the
receipt of news that the Japanese diet
had rejected overwhelmingly a meas
ure providing that Japan enter into
negotiations with the United States
and Great Britain for a joint agree
ment on curtailment Of naval build
ing.
Assailing the naval affairs com
m%ittee's report rejecting his sugges-
ton of a temporary suspension OF
American naval construction, Senator
Borah contended that the naval com
mittee had not given sufficient study
to the problem and maintained his
position that there should be either a
disarmament agreement or the United
States should suspend all building for
six months, while ii makes sure that
1t is building a thoroughly efficient
and up-to-date navy.
