 Proposals On
 Reconstruction

Berlin, April 22-Germany is await ing with bated breath President Hard ing's reply to her appeal for media ton in the separations controversy.
 Note-President liar ding's answer, rejecting the German request to fix a reparations total but expressing his willingness to forward a new German offer to the allies had not reached Berlin when Mr. Mason's dispatch was sent
 The appeal, which was signed by Foreign Minister Dr. Walter Smons and Chancellor Fehrenbacn. was made public by the government this morning.
 Meanwhile 1t is learned tha. the German Cabinet has decided to send a note of far reaching importance" Lo France in which Germany will ac. cept any proposals whatever for Ger man participation in the reconstruc- xion of the devastated regions of northern France.
 The Deusche Allegemine Zettung semi official organ, while voicing ap- proval Of the German note to Prest- dent Harding, warned it's readers to- day not to placa too many hopes in Is possible results because. the paper

 France. however. according to all indications is absolutely determined to put those measures into action. Premier Briand will submit them to- morrow at the conference with Lloyd George at Hythe.
 The l. N. s. Is able to give tho fol- lowing details of the military and economic plans which await only tho British premiers approval.
 They include the occupation of an area non.h of Duesseldorf (big in- dustrial city on the Rhine) along the left bank of the River Ldppo. It is still undecided whether hhe town of Hamme Is to be occupied.
 Turned at an angle at Hamme, the hne of prospecttve occupations runs back to the Rhinen, passing through Unna and following the left bank of the River Wupper. It includes the important town of ElhcrfeId, center Of the German textile industries.
 Occupation of tho important rail- way stations of Doerstr Fen, Lunen, Unna and Hagen is provided for in Marshal Toch's scheme
 AS for tne economical plans, l. has been decided to levy q tax Of only ten gold marks finforn.aIly s2,Boo) on the economic experts Q severer tax would cause the German engineers and techntcians i:o quit work, in which case the French would be able to supply engineers for only one-tcnth to be occupied.

VOlstead Act Not To Hamper
 Laws Of State

An opinion was handed down in the Connecticut supreme court of errors today to the effect that the national prohibition act has not de- prived the state of its right to exer- else its police power in the regula- ton and restriction of the liquor traf- f1c. In the case of the state of Con necticut against James Ceriani, the judgment rendered against the ac- of common pleas in New Haven rendered against Ceriani for a viola necticut in selling intoxicating liquor half of l per cent. without a. license.
 The supreme court held that section 2790 of the revised statutes which the accused was charged with having vio lated is -Vaid. The accused claimed that it has been superseded by the na- lional prohibition act The court also said that the fact that Ceriani had previously been a licensed dealer and al of his license would in no way justify his making the sale. In the opinion, it is stated that legislation by A state must support the primary purpose Of the amendment and can rot be repugnant to an act of con
 ~ess, but in the exercise of police ,ower the state may legislate for the enforcement of the amendment by different means and methods which end to that end.

 London, April 22-The Daily Ex- press compares the German appeal to President Harding to the ex-Kaiser's s famous handwrftten plea ito Presid ent Wilson in 1918. The paper describes the Berlin note as an ingenious move, but adds:
