States that $241 100000 for its ex,
penses in conencton with the occu-
patton of the Rhineland be paid be-
fore any reparations were paid were
presented to the allied finance minis
ters at their meeting.
Washington.-Secretary Hughes re-
fused to comment on the news from
Paris that Representatives Of the
United States government had pre-
sented a demand to the allied finance
ministers that expenses aggregating
S241, 900 900 sustained by the United
States in the occupation of the Rhine
land paid before any reparations.
There was nothing that could be said
on the subject at this time, Mr..
Hughes declared.
The distribution of this years Ger
man payments, it is learned on good
authority, already was practically de-
cided upon before the American note
was received. The total is not to ex.
ceed SOO,OOO,00O gold marks, and the
ratio of sharing this amount is prac-
tically the same as was decided upon
at the recent meeting Of the supreme
council at Cannes, which was a slight
modification Of the percentages work
ed out at the Spa conference.
According to this schedule, France
would receive So per cent Of the pay
ment and Great Britain % per cent.
Since the appraised value Of the Saar
valley coal mines, estimated at 3OO,-
100000 gold marks, Is charged
against Frances receipts, this sched-
ule would leave France about 35,00O,-
900 gold marks.
A high allied authority said recent
ly that the American claim for the
expenses of the American forces In
Germany was matter for the con-
sideration Of the reparations commits.
sion, which is indirectly charged with
the collection and distribution Of the
German payments.
Thus far the commission has ac-
cepted notifications Of the terms Of
payment suggester by the allied pow
ers, and it is considered foregone
conclusion that 1t will accept the de-
cisions of the finance ministers in
this series Of sessions.
The American claim, however, may
modify the distribution of this years
payments.
