WASHINGTON, April 22--Germ-
any's new and astonishing mcve,
that of asking the United States TO
intervene in the reparations dispute
with the allies, which was rejected
by the United States late last night,
has created a stir in the capitals Of
the world
American, British, and French and
German newspapers are commenting
upon it today as with varying emo
tions. The general impression in al
lied circles is that the attempt has
failed.
In official and diplomatic Wash
ington. the appeal j. regarded a. "A
most remarkable one. IL il pointed
out that it was directed 10 the head

spirit all provisions of any award
that might be made by him."
Secretary Hughes went into inn
mediate conference with the presi-
dent on the matter and finally re-
piled that the American government
could not agree to mediate the ques-
tion of reparations, with a view to
acting as umpire in its settlement.
The answer continued:
Impressed, however, with the
seriousness Of the issues involved as
they may effect the whole world,
the government of the United States
feels itself to be deeply concerned
with the question Of obtaining an
early and just solution. This govern
ment strongly desires that there
should be an immediate resumption
