German Proposals Lead to
First Disssnsions at Pre-

a flexible indemnity moratorium
brought ths-first- -rcuf dissensims
into the. Allied prsmisFs esnfer-
ence today.
The fourth session Of the prime
ministers was delayed until after
noon to give the British cabinet
time to consider the German sug-
gestions and formulate 4 policy
upon them.
The question was whether Great
Britain would support the French
In their demand for more drastic
guarantees from Germany. or would
abide by the old Lloyd George policy
of moderation with q partial cancel.
lation Of war debts.
Musselini Steps In.
Premier Musaolini of italy
stepped dramatically into the breach
with q new reparation plan contain.
ing guarantees based upon economic
control Of Germany.
Premier Theunis Of Belgium.
while supporting the French view
point, assumed his old role as medi-
ator In an effort to bring the British
and French together.
From all indications the chief
cause OF the trouble was the in
sistence Of the French that troops
occupy part OF the Ruhr district TO
compel the Germans to meet any
demands imposed upon them.
Just before noon Premiers Poin-
care and Mussolini conferred be.

derstood, the former held out ada
mainly in favor OF occupation Of the

'HENSHAW BACK
WITH AMb0YS
Will Play Against Aquehon-
gas Here on Sunday
Afternoon

Tom Henshaw, second baseman
of the Perth Amboy Athletic Asso-
citation nine in a majority of the
games played by the local team this
will be back in the lineup
Sunday afternoon against the Aque-
hongas of Tottenville.
Last week the South River BALL
tosser received an offer from the
Orange management to come up for
a tryout on Saturday. 1t rained on
Saturday and in order to make use
of the opportunity he took part in
the game. between the Orange A. A.
and Penn Red Caps on Sunday at
ternoon. He went hitless but played
a good fielding game.
Tom Burke played second base
for the Amboys in the All C~ollegian
game and showed up in great style.
l. is probable he may be retained
by the local management as he is a
good second baseman and is known
to be a consistent hitter.
Just how the Amboys will line up
on Sunday afternoon has not been
definitely decided, but it is known
that the pitching assignment will
rest between Mickey" Milchick and
DUTCH Schesler. Schesler has
pitched good ball in the last three
games here, while Milchick twirled
in faultless style against the Recre-
ations in Plainfield a week ago

team of Tottenville. Thursday night
against the Downey Shipy.rd COM
pany team on the Tottenvil1e
grounds. The season for twilight

The Downey Shipyard team has
been exhibiting a good brand of

mer are of the belief that the veter-
an southpaw can hold the Stat, !
Island team in check with the Aque-
hongas playing a regular brand of
ball behind him. Romer scored a
shutout victory for the Staten Island
Elks over the Downey team earlier
in the season.
