j. 5. DEMANDS
GERMANY PAY-UP
ALLIES AsToNlsHED BY CLAIM
OF AMERICA FOR PRIORITY
IN HUGE PAYMENT.
EUROPE MAY NOT CONCEDE
Entente Leaders Place the Issue Up
to Reparations Commlssion-Min-
listers Had Already Agreed
on the Distribution.

Paris.-After having decided to dis.
tribute Germany's first billion gold
marks of PREPARATIONS payments among
the allies, despite the United States
demand for nearly a billion marks
(s241 ,0O0,000), due to her for expenses
OF the American forces in Germany in
the Coblen2 area, the allied finance
ministers decided not to enter the ear
lier decision in the official minutes of
the conference until advice had been
obtained from the reparations COM
mission.
With the demand for payment of the
American claim presented by Roland
W. Boyden, American observer at the
financial conference, will be presented
the suggestion that the reparations
commission approve and define the
limits and the terms of loan to be
floated in international markets by
Germany, not only to cover the Ameri-
can claim, but reparati0n payments
for the immediate future
Tie allied foreign ministers express
Q DISBURSEMENT at the suddenness Of
the American move, processing that
they never had received any intima-
tion that the United States intended
to make claim on the first billion
marks collected from Germany And
by referring simultaneously this claim
and the loan proposal to the commits
sion, 1t Is assumed the allied ministers
are opposed to the United States shar.
ing in German payments to date.
Mr.. Boydens argument convinced
the ministers that the United States
was serious in demanding payment,
which decided them instead of closing
the financial conference to await the
decision Of the PREPARATIONS commits
sion.
According to the proposed division
OF Germany's first billion, Great Brit
ain would get 50OOOO,OO0 marks, Bel
GUM 32O,OO0,O00, France 160,00O,00
and Italy 3000O,0O0
The establishment of the allied min
listers over the American demand for
priority is all the more pronounced
because of the fact that the United
States did not ratify the Versailles
treaty but merely signified in a sep
arate treaty with Germany that Amer
lea reserved all rights under the Yer.
sailles covenant. Whether the United
States would have the right, even had
that country ratified the treaty, to
claim the first billion marks repara-
tions is doubted in high quarters here.

FRANCISCO VILLA STILL
IS PICTURESQUE FIGURE
Though He Has Retired as Bandit
He Goes to Chihuahua With
a Guard.

Francisco villa, the erstwhile bandit
and revolutionary leader, is not tax
ing any chances these days Although
he retired about two years ago to the
peaceful life Of a planter under an,
nesty granted by the government and
with donation of 100000 acres Of
rich land in return for his pledge that
he would hereafter keep the peace, he
continues to be the most spectacular
figure in Mexican life today.
This fact was demonstrated during
his recent visit to chihuahua-the first
that he has made since he quit the
exciting game of riding up and down
the country, killing and loOting to his
hearts content. No lord or prince of
medieval times ever was accom-
panied by a more impressive encourage
than that which escorted Villa to Chi
huahua from his landed estate at
CanutillO.
With bOdyguard of tifty-three
picked men, all heavily armed, Villa
left the plantation and rode horse
back to Parral They there took the
train and came to chihuahua. They
travelled by special train and brought
their horses with them. 1t was an I'm
posing column, not without its awe
some aspects, that cantered through
the streets of the city. Ahead, behind
and alongside of villa rode his escort.
II was a reminder to the local people
of the days when the daring bandit
lender with his mobile army was wont
to raid the town. Everywhere villa
went he was closely guarded. All the
members Of his bodyguard were picked
men, Most Of them had seen long and
active service under him during the
revolutionary period.
During the few days that Villa re-
NAMED here he visited friends, con.
ferred with Gen. Martinez and trans
acted private business Every man In
his escort was under strict military dis
cipline at his hands No drinking was
allowed and a strict observance Of law
and order was required of them wher-
ever they went At the end Of his WIS.,
1t villa went buck to CanutillO.

81 do not believe that the men testi-

instances deliberately led,' Mr.. Clutch
ms declared. '.I think they really be-
lieved what they said, but do not think
this constant airing OF charges ought to
go on much longer. Major Optics name
has been placarded across the front page
OF the newspapers of the country as a
murderer. He won distinction and was
decorated for gallantry and bravery. 1t
is hard for a man trying to reestablish
himself in civil life to be constantly fac
ing such charges. Most of the witnesses
against him We're not normal: their
nerves were shattered by hard and pa
triotic services, and further continuation
OF this hearing is calculated to excite
their Authorizations and does grave in
justice to Major Opie and other officers"

was not in my mind. His name was not
brought here by me. Major Opie. who
is newspaper man and a publisher of
two papers. wrote to the chairman stat
ing his sited and without waiting to hear
from the chairman he published a state
ment in a Richmond newspaper and thus
the controversy stated There is no con-
troversy between Major Opie and my
self.
This case has been specialized at the
instance OF Major Opie. / don't think
1t should be separated from the others.
We are not trying Major Opie. We are
not here as jury to try him. We are
simply investigating situation. IL
counsel wishes to wrench it away such
a move would not be in accordance with
the resolution directing the inquiry.
- do not want to be put in the atti-
tude of prosecuting Major Opie, but II
insist it would not be fair to stop now,
pick out this case and give a special
verdict.
Chairman Brandegee explained away
the doubt as TO what Mr.. Cutchins had
sought but stating he had NOT understood
the latter to ask for a special verdict
but simply for the fixing of day on
which all other evidence. If any. in the
Opie case might be presented.
