GERMAN REPLY
MAY HASTEN
ALLIED ACTION
Chancellor's Objections to
Moratorium Terms Gre
ates Critical Situation.

Paris. March 29.-(By the Associ-
ated Press Refusal by the Ger
man chancellor of the conditions at
tached by the reparatons commission
to the partial moratorium, granted
Germany on her reparation payments,
is expected to result in a meeting
soon of the allied supreme council.
The chancellor's reply will come
before the reparations commission
first, but that body, lacking the pow
er to take any coercive measures will
again refer the question to the allies.
An exchange Of views will take
place preparatory to this meeting in
which may precede the Genoa con-
ference.
French official opinion is that
Chancellor Wirth has been obliged to
switch his position in order to main
tain his majority and that he has be-
come thoroughly committed to re-
sistance to the allies
The moment now has arrived in
the opinion of -reparation circles, for
final and definite decision on the
reparations question and a sharp con-
flict is anticipated in political quar-
ters here over the prospective French
demand for energetic measures,
which it is expected Great Britain
will oppose.

CENTRAL ROADS
MAY REDUCE
], PACIFIC RATES
Commission Permits Com.
petitive Rates for Traffic
Via Gulf and Canal.

Washington, March 29.--Mississippi
valley railroads today were found to
be justified by the interstate COM
merce commission in decreasing rates
from Chicago territory on freight des-
tined to the Pacific coast via gulf
ports and the Panama canal. The
order Of suspension which the, COM
mission issued against the new sched-
ules and which prevented the lower
charges from becoming effective Feb
ruary Is. was withdrawn and the
railroads were allowed to continue the
lower rates on and after April I.
Nearly all commodities usually
shipped by freight were affected by
the schedules which the Mississippi
valley railroads proposed last Janu-
ary. The principle followed in max
ing the reductions was that of
esta blishing rates on freight con-
signments originating in Chicago ter
ritory and destined to the Pacific coast
via the gulf which would exceed rates
on similar products originating at
similar points consigned via New
York and the ocean route to Pacific
ports, -..

Fargo, N. D., March 29.-Littls
progress was made this morning in
the preliminary hearing of "A. c.
Townley charged with advising and
counselling the embezlement Of So
900 from the Scandinavian American
Bank Of Fargo by j. J. Hastings on
account Of the barrage of objections
put down by the defense.
Arguments Consume Time.
Three-fo -fourths of the time this
morning was taken up by arguments

Judge A r. Cole. who is hearing the
case as committing magistrate. ;.
W. Brinton was on the witness stand !
during the entire morning, and 81
likely to be there all of this afternoonl
unless faster progress is made.
Brinton's testimony was put in with
view Of showing the connection of
A. c. Townley with the U. s. sisal
trust, and the fact that that on jan
uary 20, 1918, when Hastings is al
legged to have signed note as trustee
of the sisal trust no such concern ex-
listed.

Ovcrrules Testimony.

Such of Brinton's testimony as he

which he has given in other cases in

The states surprise yesterday with

cussed avidly. Mrs. Briggs testified

she was goingSto die and it>was then
that she told me the details OF the
