Instructions given this commit
tee were in substance.
First-The allied governments
decline to discuss proposals ad-
dressed with evident bad faith.
Second-Germany shall be re-
minded of her various violations OF
the peace treaty.
ThIrd-The German government
shal be informed of immediate
steps the allies are determined To
take in beginning to enforce the
collection ot Germany's Obligations
Further Parley Expected.
German customs receipts in the
occupied territory would be taken
over as the first step in forcing The
payment OF Germanys Obligations,
should that prove necessary, under
the plans being drawn by the com
mittee.
Belief was expressed in several
quarters that the Germans have
not spoken their last word relative
to the reparation terms fixed by the
supreme council at Paris.
Today's newspapers were unaDi-
nous in declaring the German Of
fer yesterday of the equivalent OF
in reparations was
wholly inadequate. "Impudenl,'
'ludicrous," fantastic" and gro
tesque" were some of the adjec-
tives the principal newspapers used
in commenting on the German
terms. Even the pacifist Daily
News confessed it was at loss to
the German mentality.
Trickcry Anticipated.
1T is not easy to speak with pa
tience of this combination of bust
ness cunning, chicannery and sheer
asserted the London
Times. Doubtless the German
delegates are armed with a whole
series of successive scheme, each
giving a little more than its pre-
decessor. But when her bluff IN
called, she will abandon it"
The Daily Telegraph declared no
body was prepared for such fan
tastic" offer and adds: Great
Britain must support France wheth
er naval action or economic pres
sure should be decided upon"
No indication that the allies in
tend to occupy additional German
territory at present appears in the
given by the allied
leaders to this committee, which is
framing a reply to the German rep
1rations proposals.

London, March 2.--RepOrts

patches telling OF an anti-
soviet rising in Russia. They
state that the situation in
Russia Is serious. The latest

the reports, for 100000 strikers are
declared to be arrayed against the
soviet troops, whose exact number
it is impossible to estimate.
at is reliably reported" the dis
patch says, that very many have
been killed or wounded on both
sides in street fighting and that
there has been considerable prop
erty damage"
The naval garrison at Kronstadt
has Joined the rebels.
Moscow Reports Meager.
Reports OF the revolution In
Moscow are meager, doubtless ow-
ing to the censorship. One message
indicates that large numbers Of for
mer officers OF the Russian army
are leading the insurgents there.
"In Petrograd the military cadets
who have been among the most re-
liable supporters OF soviet rule, suf-
fered heavy casualties. Combined
forces OF laborers and marines, of
whom 100 were former service men
attacked the cadets, drove them
the streets to the schools
and quickly overwhelmed them.
The surviving cadets only obtained
shelter when soviet reinforcement
were rushed up.

Divorce OF
LeagueAnd
Club Due
Commercial Body and
Salem Business Men
to Separate, Rumor;
No Discord, Claim

That the Salem Business Mems
league at its meeting tonight will
take action to obtain an absolute
divorce from the Salem CONNER
cial club, with which it has been
associated for the past six years, is
Indicated by persistent, unsubstan-
tiated rumors which have been set
afloat in the innermost circles of
the league.
Inability of the Commercial club
to furnish service such as the needs
Of the league at present demand is
said to be the reason for the pro-
posed separation Of the two bodies.
No discord or dissension is said TO
exist between the Two orga MIA
tions,
Agency is Plan.
Maintenance of collection
agency together with q modern
rating bureau, is said to be one of
the goals sought by the Business
Mems league and this, it is felt,
could not work to advantage in an
extensive way while associated
with the Commercial club. AL
though a rating buraaI of a type is
established in connection with the
club at the present time. ii would
be impossible with the limited per-
sonnel of the office to make week
ly revisions of the rating, as pro-
posed.
SissOn Is Silent.
Should the break come at to-
nights meeting, moves will likely
be made by the league tn establish
itself in other quarters, and a COM
pIete reorganization will probably
take place.
B. E. Sisson, president of the
league, was non-conmittal when
questioned. Nothing can be said
prior to the meeting of the league"
he said.
Heated discussion both for and
against the proposed separation is
expected to be heard at the session
tonight.
Discrimination Avoided.
The Business Mems league be-
came a part of the Commercial
club in 1915 when a complete re-
organization of the club took place.
Several other organizations were
taken into the club at the same
time.
Reasons for the proposed divorce
of the club and league are held to
be obvious. If the club should at
tempt TO furnish aid to the league
in a large way, it is pointed out it
would be discriminating against
other individuals or organizations
whose memberships woul1 entitle
them to similar service.

League Not Concerned.
Paris, Mar. 2.-The league of
nations is not concerned with the
ALLEGATION of the former German
possessions in the Pacific, which
includes the japanese mandate for
the Island of Yap, the American
government is informed in the re-
ply of the council of the league, to
question,
The ALLEGATION was made by the
supreme council of the allies, the
note points out, but the council in
vites the United States to be rep
resented at the meeting of he
council in May or June when the
other classes of mandates are to be
taken up for final decision.
The council expresses ''satisfac-
ton in the interest shown by the
United States government in the
question of mandates which the
council has long felt to be among
the most important and also the
most difficult.
Claims American Support.
"The council not only welcomes
but feels justified in claiming the
sympathy and support of the gov
ernment which devised the scheme
the council is required to admin
ister."
Regarding the fundamental con-
tention of the American govern
ment that the approval of the Uni
ted States is essential to the valid
ity of any determinations respect
ing mandates, the note says the
rights which the United States ac-
uqired as one of the leading actors
in the war and in the peace nego-
is not likely to be chal-
lenged in any quarter.
1t points out, however, now the
situation is complicated by the fact
that the United states mas not fau-
fled the treaty and has not taken
4 seat in the council of he league.
Participation Invited.
The note invites the United States
TO participate in the discussion of
the coming meeting of the council,
in April. when final decisions are to
be taken regarding the class "a"
md class "B" mandates.
The council reminds Secretary of
State Colby that the ALLEGATION of

lllocated to Japan, was made by
