cupied Immediately after May first
Gerrnanys proposals are entirely in

tive circles here, being at least lOO,-
600 600 600 marks below the terms fix
ed by the supreme allied council in

The demands decided upon at that
time have been considered as a mini.
mum, amounting TO approximately 226,.

In discussing the German terms, IL

Of the 10000 100000 marks held by the
allies 10 be payable before May l. Ger
many also asks the abandonment OF
the penalties decided upon in London
early in March, as well as those stipu

PLAINVILLE TRUST REPORTS DISCREPANCY Officials Find Small Differ ence-Investigation
 Under Way.

Having completed an cXamnat ton of the Tlainville Trust company, stared when it's officials reported to the state banking commission a dis crepancy at close of the year, Com missioner Sturgis today through Sen ator J. H. Trumbull, president of the institution, authorized the statement that the control ledger and the ledger cards in the commercial department were approximately $4,600 out of bal ance but that it will take several days to make a thorough check of the ledger cards against other records be- fore it can be definitely determined whether the loss is the result of book Keeping errors /or misappropriation of funds.
 Commissioner Sturgis reported that the savings accounts were in balance the trouble being entirely in the com mercial departm ent. He declared that beyond the question of a doubt the bank is absolutely solvent. It's surplus is many times the amount of the discrepancy and the commission CT reported that there is absolutely no occasion for any uneasiness on the part of the depositors.
 Officials of the bank were inclined to regard the shortage as the result of bookkeeping error. They are un- willing to place the l responsibility upon any of the employees and de- clared that until a thorough check is made it will not be known what mistakes occurred. The bank has arranged to have 8 complete check Of the ledger acconnts made for" a year back and it is expected that it will take a few days to finish the work. President Trumbull stated to- day that as soon as the audit is completed announcement will be and whether there was any misuse of funds.
 Denial was made by the officials against a bookkeeper. who left the employ of the bank a few months ago. They declare that while the discrepancy is in his depa rtment they have no evidence of any illegal ir- reguIa rity in his accounts and there is no special reason for suspecting him of misusing the funds of the bank. The young man is still at his home in Plainvile but declines to discuss the matter in any way Bank officials claim he is not even under survcl- liance and they have no direct cause for suspicion against him
 The Plainville Trust company is regarded as an exceptionally strong young bank. It has capitalized at $50.0O0 and has assets in excess of S100O,0 900. It has over 5000 deposi- tors and a surplus of $35, ,0O0. Its con- dition is considered very healthy and it's solvency unquestioned.
