The propositions, as made public,
are considered here as unacceptable
even Or basis for discussion, acs
cording to well-informed opinion
close to the French foreign office.
Copies of the telegram from Ber.
lin, giving the official summary OF
the offer, were circulated in the
chamber of deputies and the senate
yesterday where the terms set forth
were animatedly discussed. The gen
eral comment was that the offer was
absurdly insufficient.
1t was pointed out that the only
cash offered by the Germans was
$50, 100000 marks, against the 49,
000,OO0,000 marks estimated as due

those who discussed it as a verifica-

when he declared the proposal was
only a dodge to gain time.
