London, April %. The German
contemporaries, says a dispatch
from Berlin, are very long.
The first part is in the nature OF
a protest, but in finality they are ap-
preciably nearer a fuller realization
Of the allies standpoint. The German
cabinet unanimously accepted them.
1t is understood that in the event
of the occupation of the Ruhr region
of Germany, says a Reuter- dispatch
from Hythe, that no British troops
will be employed, but there will he
some cavalry and tanks to show the
solidarity of the allies.
Berlin.-The contemporaries on
reparations have been presented to FL
lis Loring Dressed, the American com-
missioner, and were Immediately
transmitted to the United States.
The new German proposals We're
said by the German Peoples party
leader to represent IA liberal cOmprO-
mise between the demands of the EN-
tente made in Paris and Germany's
offer at London.
He said they would name far-reach-
ing guarantees covering economic obli-
cations to be assumed by Germany in
connection with her present proposal
The leader also stated that the new
PREPARATIONS proposals Germany is max
ing are such that HE entente cannot
afford to ignore them that Germany,
In view of the offer Of the United
States, is determined to make IA repa-
ratiOns offer such as will save Presi-
dent Harding any embarrassment and
not make Germany appear ridiculous
in her present action.
This party leader declared that
France would have the least of reasons
To reject the new proposals, which he'
limited as having been designed Ia rep
resent n liberal compromise by Ger
many.
The governments failure to deliver
the note TO the American mission i'm
mediately, according to the promise OF
Foreign Minister Simons to the reichs-
tag, caused numerous rumOrs which
represented the cabinet as being all
but disrupted by d~issensiOn over the
proposal.
The protracted deliberations, il was
said, was due 10 conflicting opinions
on the ~phraseology of the note.
The cabinet is said to be united re-
garding the fundamental principles IN
DERIVING Germany's new offer and al
so assumes complete responsibility for
the note, as 1t does also for the step
which led TO Germany's appeal TO
President Harding. Reichstag leaders
were so Informed.
Hythe, Eng.-England backs France
to the limit In her plans TO make Ger
many pay, but before putting their
final 20. X" on the coercive measures
mapped out for May I, the premiers Of
both countries are willing to listen TO
the new German offer suggested 10
Berlin by President Harding.
Briefly summarized, that is the up
shot Of the conference at Lympne be-
tween Lloyd George and BRAND.
II is a result of tremendous interest
and importance to America. for IL
means that Americas attitude has he
come, overnight, almost once more the
dominating factor In old world poll
tics, without, however, e%ntangling her
in any way In old world intrigues.
The counsel Of the American Presi-
dent, spoken in the midst Of a supreme
crisis and spoken with unprecedented
promptness and without fear or favor
with malice toward none"-has
changed the whole political outlook in
Europe from the apparent in%evitability
of a new war into a strong probability
of an understanding.
