CAN'T MEET TERMS
DECLARES GERMANY
UTMOST SUM NATION CAN PAY
IS 100000, 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.

Berlln.-The ministry OF finance has
reached the conclusion that the ut
most sum Germany can pay in repara-
lions Is 15O,000,O00 marks, this in
Guiding all she has so far paid In cash
and goods, according to information
which the Deutsche Zeitung says 1t
has received from special" source.
This 10000, 100000 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
the purpose of learning whether the
coming London conference on repara-
lions 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 absentlng herself from the
London conference, set for March |,
the newspaper declares IL has learned.
Ii 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, 1t 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,
1t was not unlikely that the delibera-
lions would be postponed to date
around the middle of March. in order
to give the new Washington govern
ment I'M opportunity to participate in
them.
The suggestion that the United
States be invited to mediate fails to
arouse enthusiasm in the conservative
industrialist organ, Die Post, which
expresses fear that the American YER
diet In such case, while deciding on
the sum between that submitted by
Germany and the entente figures
would be more likely to incline toward
the sum the entente is demanding.

BRITISH PREMIER
TO Be GIVEN TEST
OPPOSITION TO THE LLOYD
GEORGE MINISTRY SEEMS TO
HAVE REACHED CLIMAX.
Opening OF Parliament Finds War.
time Regime Frontcd by Many Is
sues, and II is Believed Premier
Faces Perlous Days.

London.-New political alignments
and the proposal of legislative and
governmental issues of tremendous i'm
port TO the people of Great Britain
were foreshadowed when parliament
reassembed here February 10 after a
recess of seven weeks. Opposition to
the Lloyd George ministry and dlscon-
pursued in the recent past seemed to
have reached climax, and 1t appeared
the stability of the cabinet would be
given its crucial test before the final
adjournment of the session next sum-
mer.
Attacks on the government seemed
certain to center about Ireland, the
conditions prevailing in that island
and the plans of the premier for the
future government Of the Irish people.
Former supporters Of the coalition
government were among those who
were most bitter in their comment on
the Irish situation and appeared to be
united with the opposition. The do
nestle situation. centering about con-
ditlons Of unemployment and high
taxes, brought new elements to the
side OF those opposing Mr.. Lloyd
George, while the policies the premier
adopted relative to trade with Russia
and acceptance Of British mandate
for Mesopotamia went far to dlsin-
tegrate the overwhelming majority
hold hu tho ,.rapnkar In hn Of
commons.
Collapse of the Lloyd George re-
gime was not forecast, as 1t was fore
seen he probably would be able to con-
troll enough votes In commons to carry
through his mlnistrys plans, but IL
was evident the premier would be
called upon to fight In his most Wig
orous manner II he was to come un-
scathed from the struggle.
Ceremonies incident to the opening
of parliament were invested with all
their prewar splendor, but the
pageantry of the day was shot through
with sinister note, as elaborate pre-
cautionss had been taken to protect
members of the royal family from vio-
lence and to prevent untoward Incl
dents In both houses. Visitors were
excluded from galleries and Hobbies
I'm the houses of parliament and heavy
achievements of constables and
guards had been stationed at the APP
proaches of Westminster and through
Whitehall. At strategic points sharp
shooters had been placed to check any
attempt at disorder.

DEBT REPEATING
PROMISE DENIED
SUGGESTION BRANDED AS
LACKING TRUTH.
Position at Peace Conference Declared
to Have Been That Obligations
by Allies to America
Must be Paid.

Washington.--Not only is 1t untrue
that President Wilson at the Paris
peace conference promised the repre-
sentatlves of the allied powers that
when the senate had ratified the peace
treaty he would make every effort to
have the United States government
cancel the debts owed to 1t by the
allies, but written proof exists that the
presidents position was quite to the
contrary. In responsible and thor
oughly informal official quarter this
positive assertion was made Sunday
night in answer to published state
ments that the senate committee on
foreign relations knew that the presl.
dent had given such assurances at
Paris.
The information that the senate
committee had knowledge of promise
of that character by President Wilson
became a matter of report in the capt.
tai Saturday after Davis f. Houston,
the secretary of the treasury, had APP
peared before the committee on
foreign relations at his own request
and informed IL In confidence that ].
Austen Chamberlain, the British chan.
cellor of the exchequer, had made a
correct statement in his speech at
Birmingham, England, to the effect
that Great Britain had made overtures
to the United States for the cancella-
ton of the allied war debt to this gov
eminent. Little of the details Of Mr..
Houston's disclosures to the commit
tee have become known, but it was
confirmed that he told the committee
that the proposal mentioned by Mr..
Chamberlain and concerning which
there has been so much official mys-
terry in Washington, had actually been
submitted by Great Britain.
Additional details obtained concern
ing the British advances along this
line brought to light that the proposal
had come directly to the treasury de-
partment from Mr.. Chamberlain as
head of the British financial ministry
and not through the medium of the
state department or any diplomatic
source. The suggestion was advanced
about ten months ago, but not in the
bald form In which 1t has been under
stood to have been made. Great
Britain, IL was learned, had not asked
that the United States cancel the
British war Indebtedness to this gov
eminent, but had explained to the
treasury department that, in the opin-
lon of the British government, it would
be wise procedure for all allied gov
ernments to cancel their foreign war
debts. The proposal or suggestion of
Mr.. Chamberlain was that all "inter-
governmental"' debts be cancelled. AS
surances were given that If this met
with the approval of the United States
the British government would cancel
all the debts owed to 1t by its allies.

Charges OF High Crimes and

Judge X. NJ. Lands of Chicago was
impeached In the house on February
il by Representative Welty. Democrat,
Ohio, because of his acceptance of the
office Of supreme arbitrator of base
ball while still Judge.
The Ohio member swept aside an
opinion OF Attorney General Palmer
that Judge Lands was within the law
and that there was no law making
such acceptance a crime. The opinion
was rendered recently by the attor-
ney general on request of Mr.. Welty.
Before proceeding, Mr.. Welty re.

officials were responsible for the
clerks peculation by failure to pay him

Senator Dial then announced he
would file complaint against Judge
Lands with the department of justice,
and later attacked the jurist In the
senate. describing him as "freak"
and crank" He characterized
Judge Lands statement that the
bank clerks employers were, In n
measure, responsible for the youths
theft of 100000, as "the most bolshe-
Wiki doctrine l ever heard" and added
that II the action taken In parollIng
the clerk amounted to encouragement
of such acts as those of the clerk,
ut is striking at the foundations of
our government"
There was no comment when Mr..
Welty concluded the reading OF his
indictments. On his own motion, as Is
customary, the indictment was re-
ferred to the judiciary committee. Less
than a third of the members present
voted, and scattering noes" were
heard. Representative Sherwood.
