led the opposition 10 the bill. He had
the backing OF William L. Walling, As
sistant Corporation Counsel Of New

officials present and several Republi-
cans.
No announcement was made OF the
vote cast on Mayor Lunn's resolution

1t wss stated that the vote was more
than two 20 one in favor OF the resolu-

those who believed amendments OF rela-

II was stated. however. that the senti-

The first motion was TO appoint a
committee of five to study the bill fur

week. That was tabled. the vote being
about 20 TO 5. No record was kept.
Then followed a lengthy discussion
Of the measure. The biggest objection
raised was that the bill overrides home
rule and does not give the cities ade-

favor of the cities.
Objection was made 10 the new COM

Special Cable 10 THE NEW York HERALD
Copyright, 1921, by THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Paris, Feb. rs.
tentative reply to the American
mandate note, which caused great
commotion In diplomatic circles here,
is being prepared by Arthur J. Bal
four, British representative in the
Executive Council of the League of
Nations meeting here, and is to be
submitted to the council tomorrow
or Saturday, when it will become the
basis of discussion.
Only informal discussions on the
American note have been held so far,
but in these discussions various mem
bers Of the council showed their en-
barrassment in being confronted un-
expectedly with what several OF
them admitted was a very grave
question, and one that was entirely
new TO them in their capacity as
members Of the council.
The council is much divided In its
views, which Is likely to preclude
any decision on the mandates ques-
ton at this meeting. Indeed, all in
dications are that polite invitation
will be sent to the United States to
send representatives to the council
meeting next May, decision on the
Glass A and the Glass b mandates
being postponed until then.
Reopeping May he Sought.
There is possibility, however. that
AT least one member Of the council
may propose at this meeting that the
Glass G mandate covering the island
OF Yap be rcopened in view OF the pro-
test by the United States, as this man
date is recognized az constituting the
most serious phase Of the whole ques-
tion. This inference is seen In the
selection of MIR. Balfour to draft the
tentative reply to the United States,
as he is known to take a legal view
OF the matter. rather than a diplo-
matte view. The legal view Is con-
centrated on the question Of whether
the United States, after withdrawing
from the Supreme Council, has a right
to claim. as is done in the American
note. IAN equal concert and insepa-
rable interest with the other principal
allied and associated Powers in the
German possessions"
Certain members Of the council con-
tend that the United States. having
failed TO ratify the Treaty Of Ver-
SMILES and having withdrawn from the
Supreme Council. has no legal grouno
for contending that she has reserved
any vested rights in the one time
German colonies.
The diplomatic view is broader than
this and concerns the question of
whether il would be a good policy for
the Powers TO disregard the protest
by the United States. with the risk il
would involve in the general relations
Of the Powers with the United States
In this critical hour.

long revelry, in which German civil

Duesseldorfs cabarets, dance halls
and wine restaurants.
The curfew regulations imposed by
the french commandant have been
lifted. The popping of champagne

the strident voices of girl entertain
ers. the beating of heavy boots on the
dancing floors drown out the sounds
of the French bugles blowing tans.

OF occupation roll out of their hunks
for reveille.
tThe chief body of soldiers is still
held in barracks, but many Of the men
manage to insure nocturnal eayety
with their officers. who are trammeled
with few restrictions. The occuDyin9
forces vie with each other and with
the Germans for dances with pretty
girls or permission to purchase re-
freshments for them, and the hard
working orchestras are kept busv
satisfying appeals for favorite ma
tional dance tunes.
The German blue" police view the

disorder. The night crowds appear to
take the occupation and the occupiers

PARIS, March 15.-Germany was
yesterday called upon by the allied
reparations commission to carry out
article o35 of the Versailles treaty.
which stipulates Germany must pay
before May 1, 1921, the equivalent Of
twenty billion gold marks. The treaty
provides that this payment may be
made in gold. commodities. ships. Sc
curitieS or other valuables. and that
out of this sum the expenses of the
armies of occupation are first to be
met.
The commission also took steps to
carry out article 233 of the treaty.
which provides that Germany must
be notified before May l next the to-
tai amount of war damage imposed
upon her by the treaty.
IF Germany persists in refusing
to make payment" says the Petit
Parisien. in discussing the action of
the commission. "she will force us to
impose upon her the integral execu-
ton of the treaty. That was the sig
nificance of yesterdays meeting"
Appeal to League.
In discussing the protest made to
the league of nations by Germany
by the allies on Germany because of
her refusal to carry out her repara-
tion obligations. the Petit Parisien re-
marks that the Germans are losing
time and trouble"
THE supreme council" it continues
has decided upon advice of French
and English experts that the penalties
will be applied not only because of
Germany's evasion of reparations
payments. or her refusal to carry out
the terms Of the Paris agreement, but
because of all evasions of the obIi-
cation which the treaty imposes upon
her. Germany is not qualified to de-
mand arbitration from the league, as
she is not a member of it,
Negotiations Fail.
Negotiations between France and
Germany concerning the transfer of
funds collected for the purpose of pay
ing disability and old age insurance
to residents of Alsace and Lorraine
have failed. and France, it is declared,
is prepared to ask that article II OF
the Versailles treaty be enforced
This article provides that the Ger
man government shall undertake to
pay over to the French government
a proportion OF all reserves accumu-
lated by the empire or by public or
private bodies dependent upon it for
the purposes OF disability and old

MAY ABANDON CAMPAIGN
FOR U. S. MOVIE CENS0RS
If Producers Curb Sex and Crime

End Fight.

NEW YORK, March l5.--The cam
paign led by Dr. Wilbur r. Crafts of
the International Reform Bureau for
the establishment of a federal motion
picture censorship law will be aban-
doned provided motion picture pro-
ducers place a ban on all pictures
which deal too broadly with sex and
crime. This announcement was made
here following conference between q
group of reformerS headed by DR.
Crafts and body of film producers
headed by William A. Brady. president
OF the National Association of Motion
Picture Producers.
Three proposals, offered by DR.
Crafts. as part of the bargain. were
accepted. They include the organiza-
ton of wornen's clubs to boycott
theaterS which offer Objectionable pic
lures. the granting of police power to
revoke licenses of theaterS showing
pictures included in list of thirteen
sorts characterized as Objectionable
and the creation of arbitration boards

The move for local moving picture
censorship now rests in the hands of
the District Commissioners. At the
conclusion of the hearing on censor

sIoners reserved their recommends :
tons for some future date. 1t is un-
derStood that should this recon-
mendatlon be made the moving pic

grounds that the present board of
commissioners is not familiar with
the situation, and a new hearing is
expected.

Builders of Hidden Caches
To Secrete Liquor Face Arrest

these carpenters are accessories in
the act of bootlegging, in that they
are aiding and abetting in defraud-
ing the government of taxes.
In recent raid in a bootlegger's
house the Investigators found only a
little liquor. but they received q tip
that there was more in the house,
and after obtaining a search war
rant they made another inspection of
the property and found 126 quarts in
the neatly concealed caches.
They have information that. there
are twenty cases more in the build
ing, and are trying to find the other
places of concealment without first
having to tear down all Of the floors
and the walls.
Most of the bootleggers are aware
of the new hiding places. Several
nights ago. according to information
in the possession Of the officers, one
participant in the illegal trade
watched the house Of another, and.
when he was out. entered the house
