EXPECT GERMANY
T0MAKE new BID

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, April Sit was stated semi
officially here today that a fresh propo-
sition on reparations was expected from
Germany. Unconfirmed reports are in
circulation that the Germans are making
another effort to interest the United
States in the question by negotiations
between Karl Bergman. German under
secretary Of the treasury. and Roland
w. Boyden. formerly American unofficial
representative with the allied repara-
tions commission. Mr.. Boyden. how
ever, now is in Vienna. on his way to
Constantinople, it is understood.
Nothing is known in official circles OF
a reported invitation to the allies and
Germans to meet in Washington to dis
cuss reparations and it is declared here
there is little likelihood of such pro-
cedure being favored by the allies
r.. The present expectation is that the
allies will issue an ultimatum to Ger
many on the expiration of the time
limit set for the payment by Germany

German Viewpoint.
The allied commission on repara-
tions today heard the German delega-
tion here on the German viewpoint of
the maritime damages for which Ger
many should pay.
Il
many should not be obliged to pay
compensation for merchant vessels
sunk while doing war work and un-
der military or naval orders. Cargoes
lost should not be paid for. they de-
clared, il Of q military or naval ma
ture.
German ships seized in allied ports
or captured. If used by the govern
ment seizing them and then sunk by
the Germans, should not be paid for.
the Germans contended. and no COM
pensation. should be paid for losses
due to maritime risks nor for ships
which disappeared unless Germany
should be proved responsible for their
disappearance, Germany admitting
certain disappearances OF Vessels as
being due to the war.
The value Of the cargoes for which
Germany Is liable to pay should be
estimated n the price paid by the last
owner. fhe German delegates assert-
ed. and ships lost should be paid for
on-the basis of their value at the time
they were lost
The commission expects to an
nounce its decision shortly.

: In answering the recent German
to Washington on the
subject of reparations- Secretary Of
state Hughes said the United States
government believed that it recog-
nized in the German memorandum "a
sincere desire on the part Of the Ger
man government to reopen negotia-
tions with the allies on new basis"
He expressed the hope that such
negotiations. once resumed. may lead
to q prompt settlement which will at
the same time satisfy the just claims
of the allies and permit Germany
to renew its productive ac-
tiyities." There was no suggestion in
the correspondence. however. that any
meeting to this end should be held in
Washington-
Germany already has made one new
move in connection with reparations
in announcing oficially April that a
note would be sent to the allied su-
preme council before May 1 embody-
ing an offer for the employment of
German labor and material for recon-
struction of the devastated regions of
northern France. 4
