BELIEVE GERMANS WILL
MAKE NEW PROPOSAL

London, March 8 (By the A.. P.).-The
Germans have until Monday to bring
their counter-proposals to the Paris find
ings on reparations into accord with the
allies views. Whether they will attempt
to do SO is still a matter of conjecture.
The British version of DR.. Simons'
reply to Mr.. Lloyd George Undated that
they would. He was quoted as saying
that the Germans would examine the
prime minister's speech, that their inten-
ton had bee nmistaken, and that no oc-
casion would arise for employment of the
measures outlined by the allies.
The German text of DR.. Simons' speech,
however, puts different complexion on
the matter. According to this the Ger
man foreign secretary protested against
sanctions (penalties) without legal
found dation." This, of course is, based
on the treaty of Versailles. which pro-
vides that penalties cannot be enforced
until after May /. but ignores the allies
, contention that the Germans have failed
to comply wit hthe conditions of the
treaty.
DIR. Simons, is in close consultation with
the other members of the delegation and
also with the Berlin cabinet, and while
some of the Germans continued to insist
that they could &C no further towards
meeting the standpoint of the allies. the
belief prevailed that they will make new
proposals, which Mr.. Lloyd George ge's s
speech was aimed at inducing them to do.

CONGRESS BUSY PASSING
ELEVENTH HOUR MEASURES

Washington, March 3-Congress to-
night neared it's end in the usual desper-
ate attempts to pass eleventh hour meas
ures Night sessions were held by Both
senate and house. Many bills received
their death blows in the final hours of
the session while numerous others es-
capped. Tie s395, ,0o0, 900 navy bill ap-
which would fail. Its loss was conceded
tonight on All sides. although it had been
held before the senate for many hours.
Steps which, it was believed, would be
successful, were taken tonight to enact
the S400, 900, 900 sundry civil bill. Ar
rangements had been made for another
vote in the house on the single item in
dispute, that of $1o.0e0,0,000 for power
development at Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Champions of the Muscle Shoals provis-
ion admitted that it was doomed as sac
rifce to obtain passage of the sundry
civil budget.
Many important bills still remained in
President Wilson's hands without indtca-
ton Of their fate These included the
immigration restriction bill and the army
appropriation bill completed today by
congress.
With the navy bill still pending tech
nically, the senate recessed from $50 to
$50 O'Clock tonight for dinner.
1t appeared probable that the bill for
government regulation of cold storage
would be among those saved from de-
feat 4 new compromise agreement in
conference was reached and adopted
promptly by the senate with similar ac-
ton expected in the house.
Squeezed through the jam over the ma
val bill also was a new measure appro-
priating s1S6oo,0oo for hospital exten-
sions for war veterans. 1t was passed by
the senate and then by the house and
paved the way for saving the sundry
civil bill from defeat, the hospital appro-
priations also being in that measure.
The usual crowds attended tonight's
sessions at the capital. Galleries were
jamrned. Hundreds of persons were
, lined up for hours waiting for seats. The
inauguration crowds of hmoe folk be-
sieged senators and representatives. for
tickets to the senate chamber and to the
