GERMANY MAY Ask
UPPER SILESIA in
INDEMNITY DICKER
Entente May Agree to Ig-
more Exact Terms of
Treaty.
Special Gable Dispatch to
The Washington Herald.

BERLIN, Jan. 20.-The impress
sion prevails in government circles
that the entente and Germany are
perhaps on the way to an amicable
ARRANGEMENT on reparations, dis
posing of this vexatious problem
for the next few years and giving
Germany an opportunity to get on
her feet before the fun amount of
the indemnity is fixed. The gov
ernmcnt is disposed to dicker on
the basis Of the French proposals
to disregard Article 23S Of the
treaty requiring that the total
reparation be fixed by May of this
year and agree instead upon an
nual installments for the next five
years only, the interval to give a
chance to see what Germany Is ca
pa BILE of doing under more normal
conditions toward meeting her
reparations obligations.
Germany, of course. wants a stiff
price for that concession and has,
il is understood. informed the en-
tNnte that it is disposed to consider
the proposed solution, but only on
the condition that she is left in
possession of Upper Silesia, restored
certain amount of surrendered
shippinE and confiscated private
property. relieved Of restrictions
upon trade with former enemy
Countries and the expense of the
army of occupation reduced to a
figure moro in conformity with
Germnny's ability to pay.
1t also submits that the proposed
amount of the annual installments,
three billion marks gold ($75O,OOO.-
O0o) is entirely out OF the question.
