BERLIN. July 27 (Associated Press) -
Chancellor Wirth and representatives of
Bavaria had a conference to-day rela-

posing in a measure recent legislation
by the Reichstag for the defense of the
republic. At the conclusion Of the con-
ference It was decided that the Chan
cellor should address a letter to the Ba-
varian Premier, Lerchenfeld, emphasize
ing the seriousness /of the situation and
the need of settlement.
The Cabinet met later and drafted the
letter, which will be forwarded early to-
morrow. 1t was at first understood that
President Ebert would try the effect Of
personal mediation, and the news from
Munich encouraged the belief that this
method might be successful. 1t was put
aside. however, for what Is considered a

pear to think that the office Is being used
to persecute people unjustly. For every let
ter on the subject Of American claims we
have received 100 dealing with enemy
property which has been seized. We
have found a prevalent desire in the
House to return Internationally enemy
property which has been seized, in spite
of the Knox resolution providing that the
American claims must first be satisfied.
Finally" continued Col. Miller, "in or
der to meet this insistent pressure from
Congress and to lay down a policy, we
asked for the introduction Of what Is
known as the Winslow bill On investi-
cation we found that SO per cent of
the trusts now held were property valued
at $4,000 and under, the average value
being 1854, and the whole amounting to
$4,000, 900 to s24.000,000 Roughly
speaking, we have to-day assets Of about
S345, ,000,0 900, and IL the Winslow bill were
passed our funds would not be reduced
below s3o0.000,000.
II can say that this Administration,
headed by the President, is desirous and
will see to 1t that American claims
against Germany and other enemy coun-
tries are adequat tely settled without
damage to the American interests
II understand the American claims
in all will amount to between $780,

Senator Underwood. g"Thcn IL you have
only s3o0.000.0o0 in your Office to pay

Col. Miller said that a good many OF
the American claims were tort or death

settled on basis of 2 per cent.

the Lusitania claims on basis OF per

ITALY DELAYS MEETING

PARIS, July 27 (Associated Press). -
The preliminary parleys between the
French and British Foreign Offices on
the proposed meeting Of the French and
British Premiers appear to have been
temporarily halted. and 1t Is generally
agreed In official circles that the confer
snce. originally fxaA for the first days
Of August, will be postponed.
Count St. Aulaire. the French AM
Dassador at London, called on the Earl
Of Balfour yesterday and proposed that
M. Poincare and Mr.. Lloyd George hold
their preliminary talk prior to the meet
ing Of the representatives of the four
countries-France. Great Britain. Italy
and Belgium. Lord Balfour Is under
stood to have made a counter proposal
that the meeting be postponed until such
time as Italy Is in position to be repre-
sented. There the matter stands.
The French viewpoint is that it would
be preferable that a decision on repara-
tions be reached by the allied Govern
ments before August 10 in order to
allow the Reparations Commission five
full days in which to deliberate, mas
much as the commission has fixed Au-
gust Is as the date on which definite
reply Will DC given 10 1ctHiaiiy iSioei'S

rum in 1923 and 1924.
Paris official fcircles appear certain
that the meeting OF the representatives
OF the four Powers will be preceded by
the private conference between the
French and British Premiers, and held
not later than August z. as the French
Government will stubbornly oppose
granting a temporary moratorium to
Germany on the cash payment due Au-
gust Is.
